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

When I was younger, so much younger than today/I never needed anybody’s help in anyway/But now these days are gone, I’m not so self- assured/Now I find I’ve changed my mind and opened up the doors./Help me if you can, I’m feeling down/And I do appreciate you being ’round/ Help me get my feet back on the ground/Won’t you please, please help me? “Help!”; The Beatles; 1962-1966

91. blue on black/tears on a river/push on a shove/it don’t mean much/joker on jack/match on a fire/cold on ice/a dead mans touch/whisper on a scream/doesn’t change a thing/ don’t bring you back/blue on black….
“Blue on Black;” Kenny Wayne Shepherd; Trouble Is…

92. Hey, Rapunzel, hey Raputa the Beauta….
Duke and the Drivers

93. You pull into a drive-in and you find a place to park/You hop into the backseat where you know it’s nice and dark/You’re just about to move in and you’re thinking it’s a breeze/There’s a light in your eye, and then a guy says, “Out of the car, Longhair!/Louise, you’re coming with me, Local Police!”/And it’s all because Your mama don’t dance and your daddy don’t rock and roll…./When evening rolls around, and it’s time to go to town/Where do you go to rock and roll?
“Your Mama Don’t Dance;” Loggins & Messina; Loggins & Messina

94. Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun/Lord knows, when the cold wind blows, it’ll turn your head around/Well, there’s hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come/ Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground….
“Fire and Rain;” James Taylor; Sweet Baby James

95. Life is too short to have sorrow/You may be here today and gone tomorrow/You might as well get what you want/So go on and live, baby, go on and live/Tell it like it is….
“Tell it Like it Is”; Neville Brothers; The Very Best of The Neville Brothers

96. Lord mercy, I can not see, crazy mama coming back to me/Crazy mama, where you been so long?
“Crazy Mama”; JJ Cale; In Session

97. Shattered, shattered/Love and hope and sex and dreams/Are still surviving on the street/Look at me, I’m in tatters!/I’m a shattered/Shattered/Friends are so alarming/And my lover’s never charming/Life’s just a cocktail party on the street/Big Apple/People dressed in plastic bags/Directing traffic/Some kind of fashion/ Shattered/Laughter, joy, and loneliness and sex and sex and sex and sex/Look at me, I’m in tatters/I’m a shattered/ Shattered/All this chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter ’bout/Shmatta, shmatta, shmatta — I can’t give it away on 7th Avenue/This town’s been wearing tatters….
“Shattered”; The Rolling Stones; Some Girls

98. All I can say is that my life is pretty plain/You don’t like my point of view
Ya think that I’m insane/Its not sane… its not sane.
“No Rain”; Blind Melon; Blind Melon

99. She said, “There is no reason/and the truth is plain to see.”/But I wandered through my playing cards/and would not let her be/one of sixteen vestal virgins/who were leaving for the coast/and although my eyes were open/they might have just as well’ve been closed.
“A Whiter Shade of Pale;” Procol Harum; A Whiter Shade of Pale

100. I have climbed highest mountain/I have run through the fields
Only to be with you/Only to be with you./I have run/I have crawled/I have scaled these city walls/These city walls/Only to be with you./But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.
“I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Lookin’ For;” U2; The Joshua Tree
