FREEZING
(Suzanne Vega)

If you had no name
If you had no history
If you had no books
If you had no family

If it were only you
Naked on the grass
Who would you be then?
This is what he asked
And I said I wasn't really sure
But I would probably be
Cold

And now I'm freezing
Freezing

Marillion – Kayleigh

Suzi Quatro - Rock Hard (1980)

Queensrÿche - Suite Sister Mary (1988)

Gary Moore - Murder In The Skies (1984)

Time was running out for all on board,
soaring up through the shadows of night.
High above the clouds the engines roared,
this would be their final flight.

The russians have shot down a plane on its way to Korea.
Two hundred and sixtynine innocent victims have died.

Murder in the skies came without a warning.
Murder in the skies, black September morning.
Murder in the skies.

Time was running out for everyone,
flying over the Sea of Japan.
None would live to see the rising sun,
death was following close at hand.

The russians have shot down a plane on its way to Korea.
Two hundred and sixtynine innocent victims have died.

Murder in the skies came without a warning.
Murder in the skies, black September morning.
Murder in the skies came without a warning.
Murder in the skies, black September morning.

Ian Gillan & Roger Glover - Clouds and Rain (1988)

the time is always now the call is always loud
without a movement a word, without a sound
love comes crashing in again
brings along the clouds and rain

you've got to take a chance you haven't got a choice
somewhere in the rain you hear a distant voice
love has to come to stake its claim it's
when you reach the clouds and rain

if i close my eyes i can picture you
this is the place i get the clearest view
beyond the happiness and pain
this place they call the clouds and rain

first you become a lover then you become a friend
and then you start to wonder will it ever end
i'd like to ask you just the same
without feeling any shame
did you touch the clouds and rain

i'd like to ask you just the same
without feeling any shame
did you touch the clouds and rain

Gillan - Nervous (1980)


Lyrics

You make me so nervous that you'd better move away
You make me so nervous, I'll hurt you so move away
You do what is right for me
Behave so considerately
You make me nervous

You planned out my future, you tell me what I should say
You wouldn't know, would you, you're dragging me down each day
I'm leaving you can't you see
There's no more you and me
It makes me nervous

I really believed you when you said you tried to help
But now I'm looking right through you and you only helped yourself
I'm leaving now can't you see
There's no more you and me
You make me nervous
