Ten of Top 100 Song Lines and Lyrics Part III by Roxanne McDonald

Many men have loved the bells/You fastened to the rein/And everyone who wanted you/They found what they will always want again.Your beauty lost to you yourself/Just as it was lost to them./Oh take this longing from my tongue/Whatever useless things these hands have done./Let me see your beauty broken down/Like you would do for one you love. “Take This Longing;” Leonard Cohen; New Skins for the Old Ceremony

21. You say you want a revolution/Well you know/we all want to change the world/You tell me that it’s evolution. Well you know/We all want to change the world/But when you talk about destruction/Don’t you know you can count me out…. You say you got a real solution/Well you know/we’d all love to see the plan/You ask me for a contribution/Well you know/We’re doing what we can/But when you want money for people with minds that hate/All I can tell you is brother you have to wait…. You say you’ll change the constitution/Well you know/we all want to change your head/You tell me it’s the institution/Well you know/You better free your mind instead/But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao/You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow/Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright.
“Revolution”; The Beatles; [The White Album]

22. They called you the wild one/said stay ‘way from her/said she could love no one if she tried/…I’ll never get over how good it felt/When you finally kissed [held] me/I’ll never regret/Baby those few hours/Will grow in my head forever. “Wild One, Forever;” Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers; Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

23. You forget the sun in its jealous sky as we walk in fields of gold.

24. I don’t want to be in love but you’re makin’ me/Let me up I’ve had enough. Girl you’re breakin’ me

25. Don’t you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full?
“Seven Year Ache;” Rosanne Cash; Seven Year Ache

26. Don’t know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you/It probably wouldn’t matter to you anyhow/You left me standing in the doorway, crying/ got nothing to go back to now.
“Standing in the Doorway;” Bob Dylan; Time Out of Mind

27. I was a rock standing strong for you/There was nothin’ that I wouldn’t do/No matter the price, I was ready to pay/But then you [went and started] putting me down/Like some old rock you been daraggin’ around/I was your rock/But I’m rollin’ away….
“The Rock”; Etta James; Love’s Been Rough on Me

28. Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims/And strap your hands across my engines/Together we could break this trap/Well run till we drop, baby well never go back….

29. How can I just let you walk away just let you leave without a trace/When I stand here taking every breath with you?/You’re the only one who really knew me at all….

30. Say you just cant live that negative way/If you know what I mean/Make way for the positive day/cause its news, new day, news and days/New time, new time, and if its a new feelin, new feelin, yeah!/Said its a new sign, new sign/Oh, what a new day!/Pickin up?/Are you pickin up now?/Jah love, Jah love, protect us…/Rastaman vibration, yeah! Positive!/Ini vibration, yeah! Positive!/Iyaman iration, yeah! Irie ites!/Positive vibration, yeah! Positive!
