rock n roll lyrics as philosophy...

"You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun." - Pink Floyd

Oh judge, judge, lordy judge
Send me to the 'lectric chair
Judge, judge, sweet mister judge
Send me to the 'lectric chair
Judge, judge, good kind judge
Burn me 'cause I don't care
I don't want no one good mayor
To go my bail
I don't want to spend no
Ninety-nine years in jail
So judge, judge, good kind judge
Send me to the 'lectric chair

“Lose your dream, you lose your mind.”
― Rolling Stones

We ride out tonight when the moon is high
Ride away from the world
And we ride out through the waves of grain
Through the mountains and the valleys and the plains
The Mississippi River runs in my veins
I love the saddle and the feel of the reins
Because I am and I will always remain
A plain American girl

Barbara Keith
The Stone Coyotes

When the men on the chess board
get up and tell you where to go

White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane

And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding
But she brings out the best and the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me

Billy Joel

If you can’t be with the one you love,
Love the one you’re with.

And your wise men don't know how it feels
To be thick as a brick.

I could feel at the time,
there was know way of knowing.
Fallen leaves in the night,
who can say where they're blowing?

As free as the wind,
hopefully learning.
Why the sea on the tide,
has no way of turning.

More than this.
You know, there's nothing.
More than this.
Tell me, one thing.
More than this.

I will fix you... - Coldplay

Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin'
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
Where the executioner's face is always well-hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
Where black is the color, where none is the number
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

soul philosophy

Now if I appear to be carefree
It's only to camouflage my sadness
And honey to shield my pride I try
To cover this hurt with a show of gladness
But don't let my show convince you
That I've been happy since you
'Cause I had to go (why did you go),
oh I need you so (I need you so)
Look I'm hurt and I want you to know (want you to know)
For others I put on a show (it's just a show)

Now they're some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown when there's no one around

Gosh that’s a bit grim.

A cheerful song it is not...Here's (part of) another one from the archives, I was always a Cockney Rebel freak back in the day;

There ain't no more, you've taken everything
From my belief in mother earth
Can you ignore my faith in everything
'Cause I know what faith is and what it's worth.

Away, away, and don't say maybe you'll try
To come up and see me, to make me smile...

Okay so it didn't lighten the mood, but there it is anyway.
