I'm not a stranger, no I am yours
With crippled anger and tears that still drip sore
A fragile frame aged, with misery
And when our eyes meet, I know you see

I do not wanna be afraid
I do not wanna die inside just to breathe in
I'm tired, of feeling so numb
Relief exists I find it when, I am cut

Plumb

[Hazlinny]

I'm so glad
That we're strangers when we meet
I'm so thankful
That we're strangers when we meet
I'm in clover
For we're strangers when we meet
Heel head over
But we're strangers when we meet

Strangers when we meet, strangers when we meet
Strangers when we meet, strangers when we meet

David Bowie

[mushroom25]

Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wondering in the night
What were the chances we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through

Something in your eyes was so inviting
Something in your smile was so exciting
Something in my heart
Told me I must have you

Strangers in the night
Two lonely people we were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away, and

Ever since that night we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right
For strangers in the night...

We're just two lost souls

Swimming in a fish bowl

Year after year

Running over the same old ground

What have we found?

The same old fears

Wish you were here

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you.

Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your heart's desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow's shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true

Red and yellow and pink and green
Purple and orange and blue
I can sing a rainbow
Sing a rainbow
Sing a rainbow too

Listen to your heart
Listen to your heart
And sing everything you feel
I can sing a rainbow
Sing a rainbow
Sing a rainbow too

Peggy Lee

Well we come down to the valley
Yea we're looking for the honey
I see a rainbow
I say that's the land of milk and honey

Now Suzanne takes your hand

And she leads you to the river

She is wearing rags and feathers

From Salvation Army counters

And the sun pours down like honey

On our Lady of the Harbour

And she shows you where to look

Among the garbage and the flowers

I wanna tell you all a story 'bout

A Harper Valley widowed wife

Who had a teenage daughter

Who attended Harper Valley Junior High

Well, her daughter came home one afternoon

And didn't even stop to play

And she said, "mom, I got a note here from the Harper Valley PTA"

Johnny Walker sat at a table in a bar
Minding his own affairs
Drinking his namesake over the rocks
He was drunk, too drunk to care
When a girl in the bar walked up beside him
And this is what she said
She said, "A woman came by with a letter for you
And this is what the letter said
Dear, John, please, Johnny, please come home
I need your love and the kids, they've gotta be fed
And John, if you don't hurry back, I'll be gone
Yes, that's what the letter said, the letter that Johnny Walker read.

Asleep at the Wheel

[Arksided]

Johnny's always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Knows he tires easily
 

Robert Palmer

[maggiebee]

Well it's hard to believe I know
But I hear her singing in the sighing of the wind
Blowin' in the tree tops way above me

Yes I'll always remember
Till the day I die
I'll hear her cry
Johnny remember me

John Leyton

[Hazlinny]

Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell

Go, go
Go Johnny, go, go
Go Johnny, go, go
Go Johnny, go, go
Go Johnny, go, go
Johnny B. Goode

Chuck Berry

[Arksided]

Hold on John
I think there's something good on
I used to read books but
It could be the news
Or some other amusement
Could be re-usable shows

Pink Floyd

[Hazlinny]

Ev'ry mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive
He stood six foot six and weighed 245
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
And everybody knew, ya didn't give no lip to Big John

Big Bad John
(Big John)

Nobody seemed to know where John called home
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone
He didn't say much, he kinda quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all, he just said, "Hi" to Big John

Somebody said he came from New Orleans
Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen
And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand
Sent a Louisiana fellow to the Promised Land, Big John

Big Bad John
(Big John)

Jimmy Dean

Here comes Johnny, gonna tell you the story
Hand me down my walkin' shoes
Here comes Johnny with the power and the glory
Backbeat the talkin' blues

He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication, devotion
Turning all the night time into the day

The song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
Then he do the walk, do the walk of life
Yeah, he do the walk of life

Dire Straits. Busy fella this Johnny.

[Hazlinny]

Sweet lovin woman you've been gone for so long
just when you needed me i did you wrong
sweet lovin woman won't you please come on home

after all i've put you through
is there something i can do
to make it all up to you
such a fool to let you go
now there's nothing i don't know about losing you

[Arksided]

You gotta slow down (Slow down)
Sweet talkin' woman (Slow down)
You got me runnin' (Run, run)
You got me searchin'
Hold on (Hold on)
Sweet talkin' lover (Hold on)
It's so sad if that's the way it's over

ELO. Aye desreves his bed rest.
