Outside the train station there’s a bold painted sign
It says try to be patient don’t forget to choose sides
We got the loudest explosions you ever heard
We got two dollar soldiers and ten dollar words
If I didn’t own boots I wouldn’t need feet
I come from the nation of heat

Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
And ironing out the rough spots
Is the hardest part when memories remain
And it’s times like these when we all need to hear the radio
‘Cause from the lips of some old singer
We can share the troubles we already know
Turn them on, turn them on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don’t you tune in and turn them on.
Sad Songs - Elton John

And I looked for you there in music and song
‘Cause I thought I could find you there
They were only notes pulled from the air
Not the kind I could read or breathe if I dare

Ask me now what I know
I wouldn’t say no
Ask me for my deeds
I will be clear
Ask me now if I come to
Love the ways
Of this cruel sea

I’m still a note that’s unplayed, ink on a page, I’m still, I’m still
I’m still a cry in the night, lonesome and high, I’m still, I’m still
I’m still tuned to an instrument of greater and unknown design
I’m still looking for direction, some kind of sign
I’m still tuning myself to the great key, I’m still, I’m still
Still - Great Lake Swimmers

I, I wanna live on the stage,
I wanna play the guitar,
And I wanna get paid.
But no, responsibilities please.
I wanna do what I want,
And I wanna get paid

And so and now I’m sorry I missed you
I had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain
It went the dull and wicked ordinary way
It went the dull and wicked ordinary way
And now I’m sorry I missed you
I had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain

If you want me look me up
I don’t exist in usual places
Subtle as the wind is grey

I got me a worried mind
Gonna find me a worried kind
of girl, who’s lonesome just like me
