ROLLING STONES

Saint Paul the persecutor
Was a cruel and sinful man Jesus hit him with a blinding light And then his life began

I said yes, I said yeah
Augustine knew temptation
He loved women, wine, and song
And all the special pleasures
Of doing something wrong
I said yes, I said yeah

I said yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
You’ll never make a saint of me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You’ll never make a saint of me
And could you stand the torture?

And could you stand the pain? Could you put your faith in Jesus When you’re burning in the flames?

I said yes, mmm
And I do believe in miracles
And I wanna save my soul
And I know that I’m a sinner
I’m going to die here in the cold
I said yes, I said yeah

QUEEN

It started off so well
They said we made a perfect pair
I clothed myself in your glory and your love
How I loved you
How I cried
The years of care and loyalty
Were nothing but a sham it seems
The years belie we lived the lie
“I love you ‘til I die”

Save me, Save me, Save me
I can’t face this life alone
Save me Save me Save me
I’m naked and I’m far from home

The slate will soon be clean
I’ll erase the memories
To start again with somebody new
Was it all wasted
All that love ?
I hang my head and I advertise
A soul for sale or rent
I have no heart, I’m cold inside
I have no real intent

Save me, Save me, Save me
I can’t face this life alone
Save me Save me
Oh I’m naked and I’m far from home

Each night I cry and still believe the lie
I love you ‘til I die

(Save me, Save me, Save me)
Yea, yeah
Save me yeah Save me oh Save me
Don’t let me face my life alone
Save me, Save me
Oh I’m naked …

SKID ROW

She was a ballerina on a subway train
Stiletto heels and a candy cane
Looked like a number on a station wall
Hot on the tail of a social call

I wet my lips, I thought I had it made
Like Valentino with a hand grenade
I made my move with my libido on
She circled once and then she dropped the bomb

She got the big guns pointed at my heart
Bang-bang, shooting like a firing squad
Big guns, she blew me away
And I went down in flames

I met a sidewalk preacher on a roller skate
He said he had the key to Heaven’s gate
Wait for the movie ‘cause I been there before
And learned that like is a battle and love is war

She got the big guns pointed at my heart
Bang-bang, shooting like a firing squad
Big guns, took me by surprise
She got my lovin’ reachin’ for the sky

She got the big guns, pointed at my heart
Bang-bang, shooting like a firing squad
Big guns, she blew me away
And I went down in flames

GARBAGE

She gave you everything she had
But she was young and dumb
She’d just turned twenty-one
She didn’t care to hang around
So when the shit came down
Why she was nowhere to be found
This life can turn a good girl bad
She was the sweetest thing
That you had ever seen

You’re such a delicate boy
In the hysterical realm
Of an emotional landslide
In physical terms

With your cherry lips and golden curls
You could make grown men gasp
When you’d go walking past them
In your hot pants and high heels
They could not believe
That such a body was for real
It seemed like rainbows would appear
Whenever you came near the clouds would disappear
Because you looked just like a girl
Your baby blues would flash
And suddenly a spell was cast…

di Vernon

BON IVER

Well, I met you at the blood bank
We were looking at the bags
Wondering if any of the colors
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags

You said, “See look there, that’s yours
Stacked on top with your brother’s
See how they resemble one another
Even in their plastic little covers”

And I said I know it well

That secret that you knew
But you don’t know how to tell
It fucks with your honor
And it teases your head
But you know that it’s good, girl
‘Cause it’s running you with red

Then the snow started falling
We were stuck out in your car
You were rubbing both my hands
Chewing on a candy bar

You said, “Ain’t this just like the present
To be showing up like this?”
As a moon waned to crescent
We started to kiss

And I said I know it well…
