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

He’s a real nowhere man/Sitting in his nowhere land/Making all his nowhere plans/for nobody. Doesn’t have a point of view/Knows not where he’s going to/Isn’t he a bit like you and me? “Nowhere Man;” The Beatles; Rubber Soul

81. I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?/I want to know, have you ever seen the rain/Coming down on a sunny day?
“Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” Creedence Clearwater Revival; Chronicle, Vol.1

82. I’m gonna take a freight train, down at the station/I don’t care where it goes/Gonna climb me a mountain, the highest mountain, Lord/Gonna jump off, nobody gonna know./Can’t you see, can’t you see, what that woman, she been doin’ to me?
“Can’t You See?” The Marshall Tucker Band; The Marshall Tucker Band

83. You can’t stop us on the road to freedom/You can’t keep us ’cause our eyes can see/Men with insight, men in granite/Knights in armor bent on chivalry./She’s as sweet as tupelo honey/She’s an angel of the first degree/
She’s as sweet as tupelo honey/Just like honey from the bee.
“Tupelo Honey”; Van Morrison; Tupelo Honey

84. How can u just leave me standing/Alone in a world that’s so cold?/Maybe I’m just 2 demanding/Maybe I’m just like my father–2 bold/Maybe you’re just like my mother/She’s never satisfied/Why do we scream at each other?/ This is what it sounds like/When doves cry.
“When Doves Cry;” Prince; Purple Rain

85. I caught you knockin’ at my cellar door/I love you, baby, can I have some more/Ohh, ohh, the damage done./I hit the city and I lost my band/I watched the needle take another man/Gone, gone, the damage done./I sing the song because I love the man/I know that some of you don’t understand/ Milk-blood to keep from running out./I’ve seen the needle and the damage done/A little part of it in everyone/But every junkie’s like a settin’ sun.
“The Needle and the Damage Done;” Neil Young; Harvest

86. But he’ll always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother/Yeah, he’ll always be another one of us/He said he wanted Heaven but prayin’ was too slow/So he bought a one way ticket on an airline made of snow/Did you say you saw your good friend flyin’ low?
“Snowblind Friend;” Steppenwolf; Steppenwolf 7

87. Love of two is one/Here but now they’re gone/Came the last night of sadness/And it was clear that she couldn’t go on./Then the door was opened and the wind appeared/The candles blew and then disappeared/The curtains flew and then he appeared (saying don’t be afraid)/Come on baby (and she had no fear)/And she ran to him (then they started to fly)/They looked backward and said goodbye (she had become like they are)/She had taken his hand (she had become like they are)./Come on baby (don’t fear the reaper).
“(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”; Blue Oyster Cult; Agents of Fortune

88. Hey now, all you children/Leave your lights on, you better leave you lights on/’Cause there’s a monster, living under my bed, whispering in my ear….
“Put Your Lights On;” Everlast/Santana; Santana: Supernatural

89. I don’t wanna be lonely no more/I don’t wanna have to pay for this/I don’t want to know the lover at my door/Is just another heartache on my list….
“Lonely No More”; Rob Thomas; Lonely No More

90. You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht/Your hat strategically dipped below one eye/Your scarf it was apricot/You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte/And all the girls dreamed that they’d be your partner…. You had me several years ago when I was still quite naïve/Well you said that we made such a pretty pair/And that you would never leave/But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me/I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee/Clouds in my coffee, and… You’re so vain, you probably think this song is about you….
“You’re so Vain”; Carly Simon; No Secrets
