Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse .......Springsteen , The River

I also have a soft spot for Elvis Costello (Red Shoes) and his "I said I'm so happy I could die , She said "drop dead"and left with another guy"

The end of Under Pressure:

For love is an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again

Give me your hand, cut the skin, let me in.
The molecules of us, bleeding into one again.
The sky will be my shroud, the cenotaph of cloud.
If we could turn back, you can't paper over the crack,
But it will return now, and your heart will burn black.

Another great Paul Simon track,

It's everybody jump start
It's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts

When winter's shadowy fingers
First pursue you down the street
And your boots no longer lie
About the cold around your feet
Do you spare a thought for summer whose passage is complete?
Whose memories lie in ruins
And whose ruins lie in heat?
When winter...
Comes howling in

1) What’s the point in being rich
If you don’t know what to do with it
Cos your so very thick

2) We want your homes, we want your lives,
we want the things you won't allow us.
We won't use guns, we won't use bombs
We'll use the one thing we've got more of - that's our minds.
