Life's Truths According to...

Mother told me, yes, she told me
That I'd meet girls like you
She also told me, Stay away
You'll never know what you'll catch
Just the other day I heard
Of a soldier's falling off
Some Indonesian junk
That's going 'round

Mommy's alright
Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away

Surrender - Cheap Trick

Surrender - Cheap Trick

I was just thinking of Cheap Trick
 
zz top

Well I was rollin' down the road in some cold blue steel
I had a blues man in back, and a beautician at the wheel
We going downtown in the middle of the night
We laughing and I'm jokin' and we feelin' alright
Oh I'm bad, I'm nationwide
Yes I'm bad, I'm nationwide
 
Have yourself a merry merry Christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin'
While you're drinkin' down your wine...

Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Ray Davies
