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

I needed you, I knew I was in danger/of losing what I used to think was mine/You let me love you till I was a failure…/Your beauty on my bruise like iodine./I asked you if a man could be forgiven/And though I failed at love, was this a crime?/You said, Don’t worry, don’t worry, darling…/There are many ways a man can serve his time. “Iodine”; Leonard Cohen; Mojo Presents

51. Nights in white satin/Never reaching the end/Letters I’ve written/Never meaning to send./Beauty I’d always missed/With these eyes before/Just what the truth is/I cant say anymore./‘Cause I love you/Yes, I love you/Oh, how, I love you.
“Nights in White Satin;” The Moody Blues; This is the Moody Blues

52. Now it seems those yester dreams/Were just a cruel/And foolish game we used to play.
“Yester-me, Yester-you, Yesterday”; Stevie Wonder; 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Stevie Wonder

53. The hours that were yours/echo like empty rooms/The thoughts we used to share, I now keep alone./I woke last night and spoke to you/not thinking you were gone./It felt so strange to lie awake, alone./No regrets, no tears goodbye/Don’t want you back, we’d only cry, again/Say goodbye, again.
“No Regrets;” Tom Rush; The Circle Game

54. Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?/It took me years to write, will you take a look?/It’s based on a novel by a man named Lear/And I need a job/So I want to be a paperback writer/Paperback writer…. It’s a dirty story of a dirty man/And his clinging wife doesn’t understand.
“Paperback Writer;” The Beatles; The Beatles 1

55. Let’s roll for freedom/Let’s roll for love/We’re going after Satan/On the wings of a dove/Let’s roll for justice/Let’s roll for truth/Let’s not let our children/Grow up fearful in their youth/Time is runnin’ out/Let’s roll.
“Let’s Roll”; Neil Young

56. I see the bad moon arising/I see trouble on the way.
“Bad Moon Rising;” Creedence Clearwater Revival; Chronicle, Vol.1

57. Here comes the rain again/Falling on my head like a memory/Falling on my head like a new emotion/I want to walk in the open wind/I want to talk like lovers do/I want to dive into your ocean/Is it raining with you…?/Here comes the rain again/Raining in my head like a tragedy/Tearing me apart like a new emotion/I want to breathe in the open wind/I want to kiss like lovers do/I want to dive into your ocean/Is it raining with you?/So baby talk to me/Like lovers do….
“Here Comes the Rain Again;” The Eurythmics; Touch

58. Its a Saturday night special/Got a barrel that’s blue and cold/Ain’t no good for nothin’/But put a man six feet in a hole…
“Saturday Night Special;” Lynyrd Skynyrd; Gold & Platinum

59. I might be movin’ to Montana soon/Just to raise me up a crop of
Dental Floss/Raisin’ it up/Waxin it down/In a little white box/That I can sell uptown/By myself I wouldn’t/Have no boss/But I’d be raisin’ my lonely
Dental Floss/Raisin’ my lonely Dental Floss….
“Montana”; Frank Zappa & The Mothers; Over-Nite Sensation

60. With the lights out, it’s less dangerous/Here we are now, entertain us/I feel stupid and contagious/Here we are now, entertain us.
“Smells Like Teen Spirit;” Nirvana; Nevermind
