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

I cannot follow you, my love/You cannot follow me/I am the distance you put between/all of the moments that we will be/You know who I am, you’ve stared at the sun/Well I am the one who loves/changing from nothing to one. “You Know Who I Am;” Leonard Cohen; Songs from a Room

41. Superman or Green Lantern aint got nothin on me/I’ll make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea. “Sunshine Superman;” Donovan; Sunshine Superman

42. Strolling down the highway with my shoes in my hand/I don’t talk much I’m a quiet man/Beauty and silence both run deep/And running like crazy while you are asleep/You got news for me, I got nothing for you/Don’t pin your blues on me/Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to.
“Quiet Man;” John Prine; John Prine

43. Baby, everything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
“Uptight (Everything’s Alright)”; Stevie Wonder; At the Close of the Century

44. She’s got a ticket to ride, but she don’t care. “Ticket to Ride;” The Beatles; The Beatles 1

45. Woman so willing the sweet cause in vain/You make love, you break love/It’s a all the same when it’s…when it’s over.
“Manic Depression;” Jimi Hendrix; BBC Sessions

46. Well, diamonds they fade/And flowers they bloom/And I’m telling you/These feelings won’t go away/They’ve been knockin’ me sideways/They’ve been knockin’ me out lately/Whenever you come around me/These feelings won’t go away/They’ve been knockin’ me sideways….
“Sideways”; Citizen Cope; The Clarence Greenwood Recordings

47. I only wanted 2 see u laughing under the purple rain….
“Purple Rain;” Prince; Purple Rain

48. Look at the stars/Look how they shine for you/And everything you do/ Yeah, they were all yellow/I came along/I wrote a song for you/And all the things you do/And it was called yellow….
“Yellow”; Coldplay: Parachutes

49. Don’t talk of love/But I’ve heard the words before/It’s sleeping in my memory/I won’t disturb the slumber of feelings that have died/If I never loved I never would have cried…./I have my books/And my poetry to protect me/I am shielded in my armor/Hiding in my room, safe within my womb/I touch no one and no one touches me/I am a rock, I am an island.
“I am a Rock;” Simon and Garfunkel; Sounds of Silence

50. Take a look at you and me/Are we too blind to see?/Do we simply turn our heads/And look the other way?/Well, the world turns/And a hungry little boy with a runny nose/Plays in the street as the cold wind blows/In the ghetto/ And his hunger burns/So he starts to roam the streets at night/And he learns how to steal/And he learns how to fight /In the ghetto/Then one night in desperation, a young man breaks away/He buys a gun, steals a car, tries to run, but he don’t get far/And his mama cries/As a crowd gathers ’round an angry young man/face down on the street with a gun in his hand/In the ghetto….
“In the Ghetto;” Elvis; Elvis Sings
