    American Pie

    Don McLean....

    A long, long time ago... I can still remember how

    That music used to make me smile.

    And I knew if I had my chance,

    That I could make those people dance,

    And maybe they'd be happy for a while.

    But February made me shiver,

    With every paper I'd deliver,

    Bad news on the doorstep...

    I couldn't take one more step.

    I can't remember if I cried

    When I read about his widowed bride

    But something touched me deep inside,

    The day the music died.

    Soo..Bye, bye miss American Pie

    Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

    And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?

    Singing this will be the day that I die

    this will be the day that I die

    Did you write the book of love

    And do you have faith in God above

    If the Bible tells you so

    Do you believe in rock n roll

    Can music save your mortal soul

    Then you can teach me to dance real slow

    Well I know that you're in love with him

    'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym

    You both kicked off your shoes

    Then I dig those rhythm and blues

    I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck

    With a pink carnation and a pickup truck

    but I knew that I was out of luck

    The day the music died

    I started singin'...

    Bye, bye miss American Pie

    Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

    And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?

    Singing this will be the day that I die

    this will be the day that I die

    Now for 10 years we've been on our own

    And moss grows fat on a rolling stone

    But that's not how it used to be

    When the jester sang for the king and queen

    In a coat he borrowed from James Dean

    In a voice that came from you and me

    And while the King was looking down

    The jester stole his thorny crown

    The courtroom was adjourned

    No verdict was returned

    While Lennon read the book of Marx

    The quartet kept practice in the park

    And we sang dirges in the dark

    The day the music died

    We were singin'

    Bye, bye miss American Pie

    Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

    And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?

    Singing this will be the day that I die

    this will be the day that I die

    Helter Skelter in a summer swelter

    The birds flew off with the fallout shelter

    Eight miles high and falling fast

    It landed foul on the grass

    The players tried for a forward pass

    With the jester on the sidelines in a cast

    Now the halftime air was sweet perfume

    While sergeants played a marching tune

    We all got up to dance

    Oh, but we never got the chance

    'Cause the players tried to take the field,

    The marching band refused to yield.

    Do you recall what was revealed,

    The day the music died?

    We started singing

    Bye, bye miss American Pie

    Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

    And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?

    Singing this will be the day that I die

    this will be the day that I die

    There we were all in one place

    A generation lost in space With no time left to start again

    So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick

    Jack Flash sat on a candle stick

    'Cause fire is the devil's only friend.

    As I watched him on the stage

    My hands were clenched in fists of rage

    No angel born in hell

    Could break that satan's spell

    And as flames climbed high into the night

    To light the sacrificial rite

    I saw satan laughing with delight

    the day the music died.

    I met a girl who sang the blues

    And I asked her for some happy news

    But she just smiled and turned away

    I went down to the sacred store

    Where I'd heard the music years before

    But the man there said the music wouldn't play

    And in the streets the children screamed

    The lovers cried and the poets dreamed

    But not a word was spoken

    The church bells all were broken

    And the three men I admire most

    The Father Son and Holy Ghost

    They caught the last train for the coast

    The day the music died

    They were singin'

    Bye, bye miss American Pie

    Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

    And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?

    Singing this will be the day that I die

    this will be the day that I die

    Peace.

    The Power of Love--Frankie Goes To Hollywood

    Source(s): I do remember listening to Joe Jackson's You Gotta Look Sharp, from midnight to dawn, It had something to do with the shrooms from BC. Sometimes drugs are not the best idea.

    Once at work, I was interning and they said they would give me an album but instead it was a single. Love by Sixpence None the Richer. Let's just say I can't listen to that song anymore, ever. And it's been close to 10 years.

    I'm going to have to go w Braham's Violin Concerto in D Major. It's my favorite piece of music. Plus, classical music goes into the background, you're not consciously hearing it every minute.

    That would prob destroy it for me forever though.
