Added poignancy to those lyrics after the death of the amazingly talented and humble Neil Peart.

Bruce Springsteen, Thunder Road…
Show a little faith, there’s magic in the night
You ain’t a beauty but, hey, you’re alright
Oh, and that’s alright with me
Love the idea that we can be with someone that isn’t stunningly attractive, but that doesn’t stop you loving them
Also Eric Clapton (sorry, I know, wife beater/rapist/one time racist) in Bell Bottom Blues.
It’s all wrong, but it’s all right. The way that you treat me baby.
I know you treat me terribly, but that doesn’t stop me loving you.
Non, je ne regrette rien
Song by Édith Piaf
Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien qu’on m’a fait
Ni le mal
Tout ça m’est bien égal
Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
C’est payé, balayé, oublié
Je me fous du passé
Avec mes souvenirs
J’ai allumé le feu
Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs
Je n’ai plus besoin d’eux
Balayé les amours
Avec leurs trémolos
Balayé pour toujours
Je repars à zéro
Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien qu’on m’a fait
Ni le mal
Tout ça m’est bien égal
Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
Car ma vie
Car mes joies
Aujourd’hui
Ça commence avec toi

Leave Out All The Rest (Minutes To Midnight, 2007)
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Always gets me 
Depeche Mode
Behind the Wheel (Music for the Masses, 1987)
Oh, little girl
There are times when I feel
I’d rather not be
The one behind the wheel
Come
Pull my strings
Watch me move
I’d do anything
Please
Sweet little girl
I prefer
You behind the wheel
And me the passenger
Anyone in the mood for Pegging?!

Lovesong (Disintegration 1989)
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again

I like your style MrsT - three of my favourite bands
I’m feeling devious
You’re looking glamorous
Let’s get mischievous
And polyamorous
Wine and women and wonderful vices
Welcome to the Cult of Dionysus
Nice little ditty from The Orion Experience. Can’t imagine why I hear this and think of this forum….
Whenever I am alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I am alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I am alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I am alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again
However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you
I’d gladly lose me to find you
I’d gladly give up all I had
To find you I’d suffer anything and be glad
I’d pay any price just to get you
I’d work all my life and I will
To win you I’d stand naked, stoned, and stabbed
I’d call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had
I’d gladly lose me to find you
I’d gladly give up all I got
To catch you I’m gonna run and never stop
I’d pay any price just to win you
Surrender my good life for bad
To find you I’m gonna drown an unsung man
I’d call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had
I sit looking 'round
I look at my face in the mirror
I know I’m worth nothing without you
In life one and one don’t make two
One and one make one
And I’m looking for that free ride to me
I’m looking for you
I’d gladly lose me to find you
I’d gladly give up all I got
To catch you I’m gonna run and never stop
I’d pay any price just to win you
Surrender my good life for bad
To find you I’m gonna drown an unsung man
I’d call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had

“The Spirit Of Radio by RUSH”
Begin the day with a friendly voice
A companion unobtrusive
Plays that song that’s so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood
Off on your way, hit the open road
There is magic at your fingers
For the Spirit ever lingers
Undemanding contact in your happy solitude
Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antennae bristle with the energy
Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free
All this machinery making modern music
Can still be open-hearted
Not so coldly charted
It’s really just a question of your honesty, yeah
Your honesty
One likes to believe in the freedom of music
But glittering prizes and endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity
Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antennae bristle with the energy
Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free
“For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall
Concert hall
And echoes with the sound of salesmen…of salesmen…of salesmen.”
Being a music lover, these lyrics are so apt!

Neil Peart is my favourite lyricist and drummer. Such a sad loss to the music world. His books are brilliant too.

Too many hands on my time
Too many feelings
Too many things on my mind
When I leave, I don’t know
What I’m hoping to find
When I leave, I don’t know
What I’m leaving behind.
I love music and into so many different styles. I have many i could list but ill just out one for now. I used this song the first time i danced on stage in a club (was my audition) & still use it today.
I get off, by Halestorm
You don’t know that I know,
You watch me every night
And I just can’t resist the urge
To stand here in the light
You’re greedy eyes upon me
And then I come undone
And I could close the curtains
But this too much fun
I get off on you
Getting off on me
I give you what you want
But nothing is for free
It’s a give and take
Kinda life we make
When your line is crossed
I get off
I get off
So much left unspoken
Between the two of us
It’s so much more exciting
To look when you can touch
You could say I am different
And maybe I’m a freak
But I know how to twist ya
To bring you to your knees
I get off on you
Getting off on me
I give you what you want
But nothing is for free
It’s a give and take
Kinda life we make
When your line is crossed
I get off
I get off
But you don’t know
But you can’t see
It’s what you forgive
Out here for me
I get off on you
Getting off on me
I give you what you want
Yeah
I get off on you
Getting off on me
I give you what you want
But nothing is for free
It’s a give and take
Kinda life we make
When your line is crossed
I get off
I get off
Yea, I get off
Yea, I get off
I get off

Dog Years-Rush
As i get older i appreciate the lyrics more. Love the wordplay on “People look to Sirius” (The dog star) which sounds like “People look too serious” when sung.
In a dog’s life
A year is really more like seven
And all too soon a canine
Will be chasing cars in doggy heaven
It seems to me
As we make our own few circles 'round the sun
We get it backwards
And our seven years go by like one
Dog years, it’s the season of the itch
Dog years, with every scratch it reappears
In the dog days
People look to Sirius
Dogs cry for the moon
But those connections are mysterious
It seems to me
While it’s true that every dog will have his day
When all the bones are buried
There is barely time to go outside and play
Dog years, it’s the season of the itch
Dog years, with every scratch it reappears
Dog years, for every sad son of a bitch
Dog years, with his tail between his ears
(Tail between his ears)
I’d rather be a tortoise from Galapagos
Or a span of geological time
I’d rather be a tortoise from Galapagos
Or a span of geological time
Than be living in these dog years
Living in these dog years
In a dog’s brain
A constant buzz of low level static
One sniff at the hydrant
And the answer is automatic
It seems to me
As well make our own few circles 'round the block
We’ve lost our senses
For the higher level static of talk
Dog years, for every sad son of a bitch
Dog years, with his tail between his ears
In the dog years, oh
In the dog years, oh
In the dog years, oh
In the dog years, oh
Oh
In the dog years, oh

This song came out this year and im totally into for a softer song. The voices are amazing and powerful lyrics.
If these walls could talk by Scott Stapp featuring Dorothy
They’ve seen me pick the bottle up and put the bible down
They’ve heard me crying out more times than I can count
They’ve seen me fall, seen me crawl, seen me stand
They know what I’m not and they know who I am
If these walls could talk
They’d tell the hell and the secrets, the demons I fought
They know just how far I’ve come
If these walls could talk
They see me talking to myself and talking to God
They’ve seen me at the bottom, praying for the top
They’ve seen me fall, seen me crawl, seen me stand
They know what I’m not anymore and they know who I am
If these walls could talk
They’d tell the hell and the secrets, the demons I fought
They know just how far I’ve come
If these walls could talk
Had to live, had to learn, had to burn it all down
I had to get lost to get found
If these walls could talk
If these walls could talk
If these walls could talk
They’d tell the hell and the secrets, the demons I fought
They see just how far I’ve come
If these walls could talk
If these walls could talk
If these walls could talk

This will never end 'cause I want more
More, give me more, give me more
This will never end 'cause I want more
More, give me more, give me more
If I had a heart, I could love you
If I had a voice, I would sing
After the night, when I wake up
I’ll see what tomorrow brings
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
If I had a voice, I would sing
Dangling feet from window frame
Will I ever, ever reach the floor?
More, give me more, give me more
Crushed and filled with all I found
Underneath and inside, just to come around
More, give me more, give me more
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
If I had a voice, I would sing
