We've got James Dean on the silver screen
We've got James Brown he won't let you down
Now Elvis was the king of rock and roll
We got preacher men who want to save your soul

Got the motorcity with the Motown beat
Get hip to the beat on the hip hop street
Stars and bars and the biggest cars
And a rocket ship take you up to Mars
There's the east coast trip where it's real uptight
Where you work all day and you play all night

The Cross

Hazlinny

Working all day, I'm digging up the roads, just working all day
Dig for my pay and spend it where I like. I've nothing to say
Drown in my sweat but money buys escape. I've got no regrets
Working all day
Working all day

Up at 8:00, you can't be late

For Matthew & Son, he won't wait

Watch them run down to platform one

And the 8:30 train to Matthew & Son

Matthew & Son, the work's never done, there's always something new

The files in your head, you take them to bed, you're never ever through

And they've been working all day, all day, all day

There's a five-minute break and that's all you take

For a cup of cold coffee and a piece of cake

Matthew & Son, the work's never done, there's always something new

The files in your head, you take them to bed, you're never ever through

And they've been working all day, all day, all day

He's got people who've been working for 50 years

No one asks for more money 'cause nobody dares

Even though they're pretty low and their rent's in arrears

Had an uncle named Matthew
He was his father's only boy
Born just south of Colby, Kansas
He was his mother's pride and joy

Yes, and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
Love is just the way to live and die
Gold is just a windy Kansas wheat field
And blue is just a Kansas summer sky

And all the stories that he told me
Back when I was just a lad
All the memories that he gave me
All the good times that he had

Hey Matthew, when you're watching TV
Hey, hey Matthew, what do you see?

Do you see the tension in a rich man's house?
Do you see the cat? Do you see the mouse?
Do you see the beauty or the big bad beast?
Do you see the famine? Do you see the feast?
In this world of villains do you see the crime?
Is a superhero waiting at the edge of time?
Hey Matthew, when you're watching TV
I said, hey, hey Matthew, what do you see?

I see Dallas, Dynasty, Terrahawks
He-Man, Tom and Jerry, Dukes of Hazzard
Airwolf, Blue Thunder, Rambo, Road Runner
Daffy Duck, The A-Team, The A-Team, I see the A-Team

Tom Tom, the piper's son
Stole a pig and away did run
The pig was eat and Tom was beat
And Tom went roaring down the street

Big man, pig man
Ha, ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel
Ha, ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying 'Keep on digging'
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find
Down in the pig mine?
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry

Pink Floyd

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded 16 tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said, "Well, a-bless my soul"

Forgot to scroll JNO !! 😊

And maybe the old songs will bring back the old times
Maybe the old lines will sound new
Maybe she'll lay her head on my shoulder
Maybe old feelings will come through

If I could only reach you

Hazlinny

I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder, should I get up
And fix myself a drink?
No, no, no

I haven't slept at all in days
It's been so long since we have talked
And I have been here many times
I just don't know what i'm doing wrong

The Corrs

Hazlinny

They say there's nothing wrong
I should keep on keeping on
But that's easier said than done
You know I'm a dramaholic
There's nothing wrong
They say there's nothing wrong
