Some of the things that you cannot avoid
You can do what you do, but can't do what you want
You can put all your time, your money, your life
Hope for the best or you can gamble the lot
You can howl at the moon or reach for the stars
Order a death at a nominal cost
Past the point of no return
But then arrive on time, you have to dodge the fare
Peter robs Paul to pay for his course
Of highly inflated pharmaceutical wares
It's a curse to his life, but he knows the risk
If you want to get real then this is it
On the 19th floor, looking down
See the sights, not a soul around
See the sky, learn to fly
Take a jump, let's go for a ride

Something to say, well then say it now
Something to do, well then do it
Lots to gain, lots to face
Lots to prove, so baby

Time is back again
Blind to everything
Take the medicine, come and see
I believe we'll still be here inside a thousand lives or more

Faces, places, nothing ever changes
No one gets remembered for the good that they've done
Finders, keepers, movers, shakers
Breakers, makers, on the top 40 show

Something to say, well then say it now
Something to do, well then do it
Lots to gain, lots to face
Lots to prove, so baby

Time is back again
Blind to everything
Take the medicine, come and see
I believe we'll still be here inside a thousand lives or more

The minute you're born, from the moment you talk
Is the minute you see, then you know what's in store
Jostled, pushed from pillar to post
Volunteering to work on the graveyard shift
Admiring the fools who are robbing you blind
While watching your back, cause they're always behind
What good is a vote if you haven't a voice
If you haven't a voice you've got no choice

Something to say, well then say it now
Something to do, well then do it
Lots to gain, lots to face
Lots to prove, so baby

Time is back again
Blind to everything
Take the medicine, come and see
I believe we'll still be here inside a thousand lives or more

Time is back again
Blind to everything
Take the medicine, come and see
I believe we'll still be here inside a thousand lives or more

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
