If you tell kids they can't have something, that's what they want.
I've crashed my car three times.
I'm probably writing music now for the same reason as I started writing songs when I was 14 - to meet women.
I watched the mighty skyline fall
I once believed in causes, too. Had my pointless point of view. Life went on no matter who was wrong or right.
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in / There's an old man sitting next to me making love to his tonic and gin / He says, 'Son, can you play me a memory?/ I'm not really sure how it goes / But it's sad and it's sweet, and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes.'
There will be miracles After the last war is won Science and poetry rule in the new world to come Prophets and angels Gave us the power to see What an amazing future there will be
The joy of life is made up of obscure and seemingly mundane victories that give us our own small satisfactions.
You've given me the best of you, but now I need the rest of you.
So before we end and then begin, we'll drink a toast to how it's been. A few more hours to be complete, a few more nights on satin sheets. A few more times that I can say, that I've loved these days.
It should be easy for a man who's strong to say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong.
This is the time to remember cause it will not last forever. These are the days to hold onto cause we won't although we'll want to.
What will it take for you to believe in me, the way that I believe in you?
Slow down you're doing fine You can't be everything you want to be before your time.
