    I LEARNED THE TRUTH AT SEVENTEEN
    THAT LOVE WAS MEANT FOR BEAUTY QUEENS
    AND HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS WITH CLEAR SKINNED SMILES
    WHO MARRIED YOUNG AND THEN RETIRED
    THE VALENTINES I NEVER KNEW
    THE FRIDAY NIGHT CHARADES OF YOUTH
    WERE SPENT ON ONE MORE BEAUTIFUL
    AT SEVENTEEN I LEARNED THE TRUTH

    AND THOSE OF US WITH RAVAGED FACES
    LACKING IN THE SOCIAL GRACES
    DESPERATELY REMAINED AT HOME
    INVENTING LOVERS ON THE PHONE
    WHO CALLED TO SAY - COME DANCE WITH ME
    AND MURMURED VAGUE OBSCENITIES
    IT ISN'T ALL IT SEEMS AT SEVENTEEN

    A BROWN EYED GIRL IN HAND ME DOWNS
    WHOSE NAME I NEVER COULD PRONOUNCE
    SAID - PITY PLEASE THE ONES WHO SERVE
    THEY ONLY GET WHAT THEY DESERVE
    THE RICH RELATIONED HOMETOWN QUEEN
    MARRIES INTO WHAT SHE NEEDS
    WITH A GUARANTEE OF COMPANY
    AND HAVEN FOR THE ELDERLY

    SO REMEMBER THOSE WHO WIN THE GAME
    LOSE THE LOVE THEY SOUGHT TO GAIN
    IN DEBENTURES OF QUALITY AND DUBIOUS INTEGRITY
    THEIR SMALL-TOWN EYES WILL GAPE AT YOU
    IN DULL SURPRISE WHEN PAYMENT DUE
    EXCEEDS ACCOUNTS RECEIVED AT SEVENTEEN

    (INSTRUMENTAL)

    TO THOSE OF US WHO KNEW THE PAIN
    OF VALENTINES THAT NEVER CAME
    AND THOSE WHOSE NAMES WERE NEVER CALLED
    WHEN CHOOSING SIDES FOR BASKETBALL
    IT WAS LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY
    THE WORLD WAS YOUNGER THAN TODAY
    WHEN DREAMS WERE ALL THEY GAVE FOR FREE
    TO UGLY DUCKLING GIRLS LIKE ME

    WE ALL PLAY THE GAME, AND WHEN WE DARE
    WE CHEAT OURSELVES AT SOLITAIRE
    INVENTING LOVERS ON THE PHONE
    REPENTING OTHER LIVES UNKNOWN
    THAT CALL AND SAY - COME ON, DANCE WITH ME
    AND MURMUR VAGUE OBSCENITIES
    AT UGLY GIRLS LIKE ME, AT SEVENTEEN

    Imagine, by John Lennon

    Imagine
    Imagine there's no heaven,
    It's easy if you try,
    No hell below us,
    Above us only sky,
    Imagine all the people
    living for today... Imagine there's no countries,
    It isnt hard to do,
    Nothing to kill or die for,
    No religion too,
    Imagine all the people
    living life in peace...

    Imagine no possesions,
    I wonder if you can,
    No need for greed or hunger,
    A brotherhood of man,
    Imagine all the people
    Sharing all the world...

    You may say Im a dreamer,
    but Im not the only one,
    I hope some day you'll join us,
    And the world will live as one.

    I've got two...I know that's cheating, but I don't care.

    Mr. Bad Example by Warren Zevon

    I started as an altar boy working at the church
    Learning all my holy moves, doing some research
    Which led me to a cash box labelled "Children's Fund"
    I'd leave the change and tuck the bills inside my cumberbund

    I got a part-time job at my father's carpet store
    Laying tackless stripping and housewives by the score
    I loaded up their furniture and took it to Spokane
    Auctioned off every last naugahyde divan

    I'm very well acquainted with the seven deadly sins
    I keep a busy schedule trying to fit them in
    I'm proud to be a glutton and I don't have time for sloth
    I'm greedy and I'm angry and I don't care who I cross

    CHORUS
    I'm Mr. Bad Example, intruder in the dirt
    I llike to have a good time and I don't care who gets hurt
    I'm Mr. Bad Example, take a look at me
    I'll live to be a hundred and go down in history

    Of course I went to law school and got a law degree
    And counselled all my clients to plead insanity
    Then worked in hair replacement swindling the bald
    Where very few are chosen, fewer still are called

    Then on to Monte Carlo play chemin de fer
    I threw away the fortune I made transplanting hair
    I put my last few francs down on a prostitute
    Who took me up to her room to perform the flag salute

    Whereupon I stole her passport and her wig
    And headed for the airport and the midnight flight, you dig?
    Fourteen hours later I was down in Adelaide
    Looking through the want ads sipping Foster's in the shade

    I opened up an agency somewhere down the line
    To hire aboriginals to work the opal mines
    But I attached their wages and took a whopping cut
    And whisked away their workman's comp and pauperized the lot

    CHORUS

    I bought a first class ticket on Malaysian Air
    Landed in Sri Lanka none the worse for wear
    I'm thinking of retiring from all my dirty deals
    See you in the next life, wake me up for meals

    and, "Got To Do It" by Andrew W.K.You gotta keep up
    You gotta keep going...
    No you never let down
    You gotta keep going
    You gotta keep up
    You gotta keep going

    I went around the place where we once went before
    But I never knew it hurt so bad
    I wandered back again, but you just slammed the door
    I never knew it hurt so bad

    We were nothing but kids on top
    Never gonna stop
    We never let down
    We gotta keep up
    Keep our heads on 'high'
    Never gonna die
    'Cos we gotta keep it alive

    When you're down on your luck
    You gotta do it
    'Cos you can't get enough
    You gotta do it
    You never give up (NO!)
    You got to do it
    Gotta do all the stuff that you love (no more turning)

    When you're down on your luck
    You gotta do it
    And you're covered in mud
    You gotta do it
    You still going on (YEAH!)
    You got to do it
    Gotta do all the stuff that you love

    You gotta keep up
    You gotta keep going...
    No you never let down
    You gotta keep going
    We gotta keep up
    We gotta keep going

    But you left me down so many times and took me back
    But I'll never turn around again
    And now my life is back
    I'm back on the track
    And I'll never burn it down again, No

    'Cos we were nothing but kids on top
    Never gonna stop
    We never let down
    We gotta keep up
    Keep our heads on 'high'
    Never gonna die
    'Cos we gotta keep it alive

    When you're down on your luck
    You gotta do it
    'Cos you can't get enough
    You gotta do it
    You never give up (NO!)
    You got to do it
    Gotta do all the stuff that you love (no more turning)

    When you're down on your luck
    You gotta do it
    And you're covered in mud
    You gotta do it
    You still going on (YEAH!)
    You got to do it
    Gotta do all the stuff that you love (no more turning)

    When you're down on your luck
    You gotta do it
    'Cos you can't get enough (YEAH!)
    You got to do it
    You never give up (NO!)
    You got to do it
    Gotta do all the stuff that you... Love

    When I was a dub, my "theme song" was Against The Wind by bob Seeger.

    The line that sticks out most in my head is........"surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends".

    Can't think of one that fits me today.

    I would say Purple Rain-the whole album. I remember I wasn't allowed to listen to prince because we were JW...and now he's a JW-weird. I actually feel bad for the little guy. PRESTON-did you know Cum On Feel The Noize was originally done by Slade? AND Dave Hill of Slade was raised a Dub. I heard rumors he's back in...could be just a romor though.
