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

Try to see it my way/Do I have to keep on talking till I can’t go on?/While you see it your way/Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone/We can work it out/We can work it out/Think of what you’re saying/ You can get it wrong and still you think that it’s alright/Think of what I’m saying/We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night/We can work it out/We can work it out/Life is very short, and there’s no time/For fussing and fighting, my friend/I have always thought that it’s a crime/So I will ask you once again/Try to see it my way…. “We Can Work it Out;” The Beatles; The Beatles 1

74. Oh don’t lean on me man, cause you can’t afford the ticket/I’m back from suffragette city/Oh don’t lean on me man, cause you aint got time to check it/You know my suffragette city/Is outta sight…she’s all right.

75. She said, “I’d like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley P.T.A.: …Well, there’s Bobby Taylor sittin’ there and seven times he’s asked me for a date/Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he’s away/And Mr. Baker, can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town?/And shouldn’t widow Jones be told to keep her window shades all pulled completely down?/Well, Mr. Harper couldn’t be here ’cause he stayed too long at Kelly’s Bar again/And if you smell Shirley Thompson’s breath, you’ll find she’s had a little nip of gin/Then you have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I’m not fit/Well, this is just a little Peyton Place and you’re all Harper Valley hypocrites.”
“Harper Valley P.T.A.”; Jeannie C. Riley; Greatest Hits

76. As I remember your eyes were bluer than robin’s eggs/My poetry was lousy you said/Where are you calling from?/A booth in the Midwest/Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks/You brought me something/We both know what memories can bring/They bring diamonds and rust….
“Diamonds and Rust”; Joan Baez; Diamonds & Rust

77. It’s been a long time since I rock and rolled/It’s been a long time since I did the stroll/Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back/Let me get it back, baby, where I come from…./It’s been a long time since the book of love/I cant count the tears of a life with no love/Carry me back, carry me back/ Carry me back, baby, where I come from…./It’s been a long time, been a long time/Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
“Rock and Roll”; Led Zeppelin; Led Zeppelin IV

79. Climbing up on Solsbury Hill/I could see the city light/Wind was blowing, time stood still/Eagle flew out of the night./He was something to observe/ Came in close, I heard a voice/Standing stretching every nerve, I had to listen had no choice./I did not believe the information/Just had to trust imagination/My heart was going boom, boom, boom/”Son,” he said, “grab your things, I’ve come to take you home.”
“Solsbury Hill”; Peter Gabriel; Solsbury Hill
