Suzanne Vega
- Tom's Diner Pt.3
And I'm trying not to notice that she's hitching up her skirt, and while she's straightening her stockings her hair has gotten wet... Oh, this rain - it will continue through the morning as I'm listening to the bells of the Cathedral... I am thinking of your voice.. And of the midnight picnic once upon a time, before the rain began... And I finish up my coffee, and it's time to catch the train...
Suzanne Vega
- Tom's Diner Pt.2
I open up the paper, there's a story of an actor who had died while he was drinking (it was no one I had heard of). And I'm turning to the horoscope, and looking for the Funnies, when I'm feeling someone watching me, and so I raise my head. There's a woman on the outside, looking inside. Does she see me? No, she does not really see me, 'cause she sees her own reflection.
Suzanne Vega
- Tom's Diner Pt.1
I am sitting in the morning at the Diner on the corner. I am waiting at the counter for the man to pour the coffee. And he fills it only half-way, and before I even argue, he is looking out the window at somebody coming in... "It is always nice to see you," says the man behind the counter to the woman who has come in - She is shaking her umbrella. And I look the other way as they are kissing their hellos, and I'm pretending not to see them - so instead I pour the milk...
The Young Veins
- Dangerous Blues
All I do is lie by the oceanside. Why do the clouds all turn grey just for you? I've never been such a beautiful blues... Step outside your door, and go down to the shore. Why do your eyes feel like shells in a dune? What makes a crowd turn away from a tune? I've never been such a beautiful blues... Even the tide gets high at night. Even the truth is wrong sometimes.
Huey Lewis and the News
- Heart and Soul
Two o'clock this morning: If she should come a'calling, I wouldn't dream of turning her away. And if it got hot and hectic, I know she'd be electric. I'd let her take her chances with me. You see, she gets what she wants. 'Cause she's heart and soul. She's hot and cold. She's got it all!
The Zombies
- She's Not There
Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looks, the way she acts, and the color of her hair. Her voice was soft and cool, her eyes were clear and bright, but she's not there!
