Yellow

Yellow

Coldplay - 2000

"Parachutes"

"Look at the stars, look how they shine for you, and everything you do"

Look at the stars,

Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow

So then I took my turn
Oh all the things
I've done
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful

D'you know you know
I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh all the things you do
Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful

D'you know
For you i bleed myself dry
For you i bleed myself dry

Its true
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you

One flight down

One flight down

Norah Jones - 2002

"Come away with me"

"In this place, where your arms unfold, here at least you see your ancient face. Now you know"

One flight down
There's a song on low
And your mind
just picked up on the sound

Now you know
you're wrong
Because it drifts like smoke
And it's been there
playing all along
Now you know
Now you know

The reeds and brass have been weaving
Leading into a single note

In this place
Where your arms unfold
Here at least
you see your ancient face
Now you know
Now you know

The cadence rolls in broken
Plays it over and then goes

One flight down
There's a song on low
And it's been there
playing all along
Now you know
Now you know

Tunnel of love

Tunnel of love
Dire Straits - 1980
"Making movies"

"She took off a silver locket, she said -remember me by this- she put her hand in my pocket, I got a keepsake and a kiss"


Getting crazy on the waltzers
but it's the life that I choose
sing about the sixblade
sing about the switchback
and a torture tattoo
and I been riding on a ghost train
where the cars they scream and slam
and I don't know where I'll be tonight
but I'd always tell you where I am
in a screaming ring of faces
I seen her standing in the light
she had a ticket for the races
just like me she was a victim of the night

I put a hand upon the lever
said let it rock and let it roll
I had the one arm bandit fever
there was an arrow through my heart and my soul
and the big wheel keep on turning
neon burning up above
and I'm just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love

It's just the danger
when you're riding at your own risk
she said you are the perfect stranger
she said baby let's keep it like this
it's just a cake walk twisting baby step right up and see
hey mister give me two give me two now
cos any two can play

And the big wheel keep on turning
neon burning up above
and I'm just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love well

It's been money for muscle
another whirligig
money for muscle and
another girl I dig
another hustle just to make it big
and walkaway walkaway
and girl it looks so pretty to me
just like it always did
like the spanish city to me
when we were kids
oh girl it looks so pretty to me
just like it always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
she took off a silver locket
she said remember me by this
she put her hand in my pocket
I got a keepsake and a kiss
and in the roar of the dust and diesel
I stood and watched her walk away

I could have caught up with her easy enough
but something must have made me stay
and the big wheel keep on turning
neon burning up above
and I'm just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love
and now I'm searching through these carousels
and the carnival arcades
searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades
in any shooting gallery where promises are made
to walkaway walkaway to
walkaway walkaway
from Cullercoats and Whitley Bay
out to walkaway
and girl it looks so pretty to me
like it always did
like the spanish city to me
when we were kids
girl it looks so pretty to me
like it always did
like the spanish city to me
when we were kids

Rosalita

Rosalita (Come out tonight)

Bruce Springsteen - 1973

"The wild, the innocent, and the E Street Shuffle"

"Someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny"

Spread out now Rosie, doctor come cut loose her mama's reins
You know playin' blindman's bluff is a little baby's game
You pick up Little Dynamite,
I'm gonna pick up Little Gun
And together we're gonna go out tonight

and make that highway run
You don't have to call me lieutenant Rosie

and I don't want to be your son
The only lover I'm ever gonna need's

your soft sweet little girl's tongue
Rosie you're the one

Dynamite's in the belfry

playin' with the bats
Little Gun's downtown in front of Woolworth's
tryin' out his attitude on all the cats
Papa's on the corner waitin' for the bus
Mama she's home in the window

waitin' up for us

She'll be there in that chair when they wrestle her upstairs
'Cause you know we ain't gonna come
I ain't here for business
I'm only here for fun
And Rosie you're the one

Rosalita jump a little lighter
Señorita come sit by my fire
I just want to be your love, ain't no lie
Rosalita you're my stone desire

Jack the Rabbit and Weak Knees Willie,

you know they're gonna be there
Ah, sloppy Sue and Big Bones Billie, they'll be comin' up for air
We're gonna play some pool, skip some school, act real cool

Stay out all night, it's gonna feel all right
So Rosie come out tonight, baby come out tonight
Windows are for cheaters, chimneys for the poor
Closets are for hangers, winners use the door
So use it Rosie, that's what it's there for

Now I know your mama she don't like me

'cause I play in a rock and roll band
And I know your daddy he don't dig me

but he never did understand
Papa lowered the boom, he locked you in your room
I'm comin' to lend a hand
I'm comin' to liberate you, confiscate you,

I want to be your man

Someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny
But now you're sad, your mama's mad
And your papa says he knows that I don't have any money
Tell him this is last chance to get his daughter in a fine romance
Because a record company, Rosie, just gave me a big advance

My tires were slashed and I almost crashed

but the Lord had mercy
My machine she's a dud, I'm stuck in the mud

somewhere in the swamps of Jersey

Hold on tight, stay up all night

'cause Rosie I'm comin' on strong
By the time we meet the morning light

I will hold you in my arms

I know a pretty little place in Southern California

down San Diego way
There's a little cafe

where they play guitars all night and day
You can hear them in the back room strummin'
So hold tight baby

'cause don't you know daddy's comin'
Slow!
