"When, when we were young, we had no history,So nothing to lose meant we could choose -Choose what we wanted thenWithout any fear or thought of revenge.But then you grew old and I lost my ambition,So I gained an addiction to drink and depression.{They are mine, my only true friendsAnd I'll keep them with me until the very end.}I'd choose not to remember, but I miss your arrogance,And I need your intelligence and your hate for authority.But now you're gone, I read it today -They found you in Spain, face down in the street,With a bottle in your hand and a wild smile on your face -And a knife in your backYou died in a foreign land and they found my letterRolled up in your pocket,Where I said I'd kill myself if she left me again.So now she's gone and you're both in my mind,I've got one thing to say before I am drunk again.Goddamn the sun.Goddamn the sun.Goddamn anyone that says a kind word.Goddamn the sun.Goddamn the sun.Goddamn the light -It shines and this world it shows.Goddamn the sun."
"I Am What I Am"I am what I amI am my own special creationSo come take a lookGive me the hook or the ovationIt's my world that I want to have a little pride inMy world and it's not a place I have to hide inLife's not worth a damTill you can say, hey world, I am what I amI am what I amI don't want praise, I don't want pityI bang my own drumSome think it's noise, I think it's prettyAnd so what if I love each feather and each bangleWhy not try to see things from a different angleYour life is a shamTill you can shout out loud, I am what I amI am what I amAnd what I am needs no excusesI deal my own deckSometimes the ace, sometimes the deucesThere's one life and there's no return and no depositOne life so it's time to open up your closetLife's not worth a damTill you can say, hey world, I am what I am

You came to me this morning And you handled me like meat You’d have to be a man to know How good that feels, how sweet My mirrored twin, my next of kin I’d know you in my sleep And who but you would take me in A thousand kisses deep
I loved you when you opened like a Lily to the heat You see I’m just another snowman Standing in the rain and sleet Who loved you with his frozen love His second hand physique With all he is, and all he was A thousand kisses deep
I know you had to lie to me I know you had to cheat To pose all hot and hide behind The veils of sheer deceit Our perfect porn aristocrat So elegant and cheap I’m old but I’m still into that A thousand kisses deep
I’m good at love, I’m good at hate It's in between I freeze Been working out, but its too late It’s been too late for years But you look good, you really do The pride of Boogie Street, Somebody must have died for you A thousand kisses deep
The autumn moved across your skin Got something in my eye A light that doesn’t need to live And doesn’t need to die A riddle in the book of love Obscure and obsolete Until witnessed here in time and blood A thousand kisses deep
And I'm still working with the wine Still dancing cheek to cheek The band is playing Auld Lang Syne But the heart will not retreat I ran with Diz and Dante I never had their sweep But once or twice they let me play A thousand kisses deep
I loved you when you opened Like a lily to the heat You see I'm just another snowman Standing in the rain and sleet But you don’t need to hear me now And every word I speak It counts against me anyhow A thousand kisses deep
The mood I'm in it's got to be The Damned's "I Just Can't Be Happy Today"
I just can't be happy today I just can't be happy today A lot of you know there's nothing to smile There's no feeling fine without being fined It's a price on your head No point being sad when justice is red I just can't be happy today I just can't be happy today They're closing the schools They're burning the books The church is in ruins The priests hang on hooks The radios on ice The telly's been banned The army's in power The devil commands Illegal to dance forbidden to cry You do what you're told and never ask why Ignore all those fools They don't understand we make our own rules I just can't be happy today I just can't be happy today I just can't be happy Just can't be happy Just can't be happy today I just can't be happy Just can't be happy Just can't be happy today
I spend the night, yeah, Lookin for my insides In a hotel room, waiting for you We're gonna make it tonight, yeah Something in the air tells me the time is right So we better get it on DJ! Play a song for the lovers Tonight... Please! Play a song for the lovers Tonight...
Had my tearful bit, over and done with. Have both my kids home for Christmas (yay!), spent all day in the kitchen so far, so now its a bit of Pharell Williams:) ..'cos I'm happy now...
Well here i am in the wind again Floating where life takes me Laughing and a Splashin' in the summer sun Until the alarm clock wakes me Then It's coffee and a kiss,and two cigarettes, And back out in the cold,cold weather Chasin' my dream,but i just can't seem to rub two coins together.......................................... Life Ain't Easy...Dr.Hook...lyrics Shel Silverstein
