Elton John
Hey, kids, shake it loose together/the spotlight's hittin' something/that's bound to change the weather 
I remember when rock was young/Me and Suzie had so much fun 
When are you gonna come down/When are you gonna land 
She packed my bags last nigh, Pre-flight/Zero hour 9 A.M. 
Blue Jean Baby, L.A. Lady, Seamstress for the band 
Billy Joel
We met as soulmates/On Parris Island 
What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearin'?/'Can't you tell that your tie's too wide?' 
Anthony works in the grocery store/savin' his pennies for someday 
It's nine o clock on a Saturday/the regular crowd shuffles in 
Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnny Ray 
The Beatles
Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly 
Ooh, I need your love, baby/guess you know it's true 
Well she was just 17/You know what I mean 
I think I'm gonna be sad/I think it's today, yeah 
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together 
The Rolling Stones
It is the evening of the day/I sit and watch the children play 
Please allow me to introduce myself/I'm a man of wealth and taste 
I was born in a cross-fire hurricane/And I howled at my ma in the driving rain 
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields/Sold in market down in New Orleans 
Oh, a storm is threatening/my very life today 
Bob Dylan
Once upon a time, you dressed so fine/you threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you? 
Early one morning the sun was shining/I was laying in bed 
'There must be some way out of here', said the joker to the thief 
Come gather round people/wherever you roam 
Oh, God said to Abraham, 'Kill Me a son' 
Van Halen
I get up, and nothing gets me down/You got it tough, I've seen the toughest all around 
Jump back, what's that sound?/Here she comes, full blast and top down 
I live my life like there's no tomorrow/And all I've got, I've had to steal 
She saw the look in his eyes/and she knew better 
Well, they say it's kinda frightnin'/How this younger generation swings 
David Bowie
Still don't know what I was waiting for/and my time was running wild 
As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent/they asked for the latest party 
You've got your mother in a whirl/She's not sure if your a boy or a girl 
Ground control to Major Tom 
They Pulled In just behind the fridge/He lays her down, he frowns 
Queen
Is this the real life?/Is this just fantasy 
Steve walks wearily down the street with the brim pulled way down low 
Are you gonna take me home tonight/Ah, down beside that red firelight 
She keeps Moet et Chandon/In her pretty cabinet 
I've paid my dues/Time after time 
Mixed Bag!
A Long, long time ago/ I can still remember 
Load up on guns/bring your friends 
So, So you think you can tell/Heaven from Hell 
I woke up this morning/ and the sun was gone 
Your daddy works in porno now that mommy's not around/she used to love her heroin, but now she's underground 
Mixed Bag!
I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel/There's a voice in my head that drives my heel 
No one knows what it's like/to be the bad man, to be the sad man 
No, I don't know where I'm goin'/But I sure know where I've been 
Sitting on the park bench/eyeing idle girls with bad intent 
It's gettin' near dawn/When lights close their tired eyes
