Once there was a young man
No one could understand
Wastin’ time every day

All he ever playin’ is
That rock n’ roll music
Rock n’ roll music yeah
All he ever wanted was a reason to do it
Reason to do it yeah
Well he know every line (He’s a rocker)
For the rhythm n’ rhyme (He’s a rocker)
Move his head to the beat (He’s a rocker)
As he walk down the street (He’s a rocker)
All he ever playin’ is
That rock n’ roll music
Rock n’ roll music yeah

02-06-2008 HOLLOW MAN
di Buck, Mills, Stipe
R.E.M.
I’ve been lost inside my head
Echoes fall off me
I took the prize last night for complicatedness
For saying things I didn’t mean and don’t believe
Believe in me, believe in nothing
Corner me, and make me something
I’ve become the hollow man
Have I become the hollow man I see?
Mmm, I see this echoing
You have placed your trust in me
I went upside down
I emptied out the room in thirty seconds flat
I can’t believe you held your ground
Believe in me, believe in nothing
Corner me, and make me something
I’ve become the hollow man
Have I become the hollow man I see?
I’m overwhelmed, I’m on repeat
I’m emptied out, I’m incomplete
You trusted me, I want to show you
I don’t want to be the hollow man…

31-05-1985 GLORY DAYS
di Springsteen
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
I had a friend was a big baseball player
Back in high school
He could throw that speedball by you
Make you look like a fool boy
Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
But all he kept talking about was
Glory days well they’ll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl’s eye
Glory days, glory days
Well there’s a girl that lives up the block
Back in school she could turn all the boy’s heads
Sometimes on a Friday I’ll stop by
And have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
Her and her husband Bobby well they split up
I guess it’s two years gone by now
We just sit around talking about the old times,
She says when she feels like crying
She starts laughing thinking about
Glory days well they’ll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl’s eye
Glory days, glory days…

30-05-2005 BEST OF YOU
di Grohl, Howkins, Mendel, Shiflett
FOO FIGHTERS
I’ve got another confession to make
I’m your fool
Everyone’s got their chains to break
Holdin’ you
Were you born to resist, or be abused?
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?
Or are you gone and onto someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn’t have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I’ll break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can’t choose
I swear I’ll never give in
I refuse
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?…
