Cool Cherry Cream

Lyrics

If it wasn’t for bad luck
I wouldn’t have no luck at all
- William Bell/Booker T. Jones (“Born Under A Bad Sign” – Cream)

Oh, if there’s one thing I hang onto
That gets me through the night
I ain’t gonna do what I don’t want to
I’m gonna live my life
- Jon Bon Jovi/Richie Samboura (“Have A Nice Day” – Bon Jovi)

You start a conversation you can’t even finish it
You’re talkin’ a lot but you’re not sayin’ anything
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
Say something once, why say it again?
- David Byrne (“Psycho Killer” – The Talking Heads)

What I do I do my way or it won’t be done at all
Little girl, can you hear what I say?
Yeah, I’m an easy-going guy but I always gotta have my way
- Eddie Cochran/Jerry Capehart (“My Way” – The Who)

They say you need love to love
Gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way but if it’s true
Why do I love you?
- Neil Diamond (“Love To Love” – The Monkees)

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You’d know what a drag it is to see you
- Bob Dylan (“Positively Fourth Street”)

The slow one now will later be fast
As the present now will later be past
- Bob Dylan (“The Times They Are A Changin’”)

Everything I know is what I need to know
Everything I do’s been done before
Every sentence in my head
Someone else has said
At each end of my life is an open door
- John Entwistle (“905″ – The Who)

I ain’t never had time for words that don’t rhyme
My head is in a cloud
I ain’t quiet, everybody else is too loud
- John Entwistle (“The Quiet One” – The Who)

It’s easy to live in your imagination
If you can’t control the situation
You just cut and start it again
- John Entwistle (“Too Late The Hero”)

For just an illusion I traded love that was real
-Gerry Goffin, Carole King (“A Man Without A Dream” – The Monkees)

I would have liked to know you but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
- Elton John (“Candle In The Wind”)

You think you know me but you haven’t got a clue
- John Lennon (“Hey Bulldog” – The Beatles)

You wanna save humanity but it’s people that you just can’t stand
- John Lennon (“I Don’t Wanna Face It”)

Imagine all the people living for today
- John Lennon (“Imagine”)

Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
- John Lennon (“Strawberry Fields Forever” – The Beatles)

I thought the only lonely place was on the moon
- Paul McCartney (“Jet”)

C’mon people, don’t ya look so down
You know the rain man’s comin’ to town
Change the weather, change your luck
And then he’ll teach ya how ta… find yourself
- Jim Morrison (“L’America” – The Doors)

I need a brand new friend who doesn’t bother me
I need a brand new friend who doesn’t trouble me
I need someone, yeah, who doesn’t need me
- Jim Morrison (“Hyacinth House” – The Doors)

You said I must eat so many lemons
‘Cause I am so bitter
I said I’d rather be with your friends, mate
‘Cause they are much fitter
- Kate Nash (“Foundations”)

So I move along to the next thing on the list
Knowing full well that some of them just don’t exist
- Michael Nesmith (“The Crippled Lion” – The Monkees)

It’s only a whimsical notion
To fly down to Rio tonight
And I probably won’t fly down to Rio
But, then again, I just might
- Michael Nesmith (“Rio”)

Well, I hope you finally got my letter
It should have come about this time last year
- Michael Nesmith (“Writing Wrongs” – The Monkees)

It’s only sane to be insane
- Yoko Ono (“O’ Sanity”)

There’s a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
‘Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
- Jimmy Page/Robert Plant (“Stairway To Heaven” – Led Zeppelin)

And if I say to you tomorrow
“Take my hand, child, come with me”
It’s to a castle I will take you
Where what’s to be they say will be
- Robert Plant (“What Is And What Should Never Be” – Led Zeppelin)

Thinking how it used to be
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again
And I do
- Jimmy Page (“Tangerine” – Led Zeppelin)

If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice
- Neil Peart (“Free Will” – Rush)

When it came to a superstar, Jenny was a braggart
Spread it all around to everyone in town that she once had Mick Jagger
There’s no doubt when the truth comes out, true love will over conquer
She didn’t get Mick but she got a kick and a black eye from Bianca
- Neil Sedaka (“The Queen of 1964″)

Everywhere you look is lovely
If love is what you choose to see
- Ringo Starr (“I Think Therefore I Rock ‘N Roll”)

So now I’m praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
‘Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don’t think that I can really survive
- Jim Steinman (“Paradise By The Dashboard Light” – Meat Loaf)

The distance which I keep
Has entered into play
Miles which make me say
I won’t be seeing you
- Richard Stekol (“Wax Minute” – Michael Nesmith)

Don’t you get embarrassed when you think about the way you were
Yesterday, the day before, when you were young with much to learn?
- Pete Townshend (“Cry If You Want” – The Who)

This could be suffering, this could be pleasure
I’m unaware of any difference
- Pete Townshend (“Daily Records” – The Who)

Deal me another hand, Lord, this one’s very hard
- Pete Townshend (“It’s Hard” – The Who)

You hold the gun and I hold the wound
- Pete Townshend (“Naked Eye” – The Who)

You need a new song
I’ll set the words up so they tear right at your soul
Don’t take me too long
But there’s a danger that I’ll plagiarize something old
- Pete Townshend (“New Song” – The Who)

I asked my dad where Lily I could find
He said “son, now don’t be silly
She’s been dead since 1929″
Oh, how I cried that night
If only I’d been born in Lily’s time
It would have been alright
- Pete Townshend (“Pictures Of Lily” – The Who)
