In many songs, the second verses always seem to be a best. Here's a compilation... 
The fading light is cold on the shoulders of the trees
For the star wind blows right through me and I've never felt so free
There has to be a crossroad; a place to draw the line
It came down to the question: Is this life I'm living mine?
...
There a piece of you that's here with me
It's everywhere I go, its everything I see.
When I sleep I dream and it gets me by
I can make believe that you're here tonight.
...
What's the matter with the car I'm driving
Can't you tell that it's out of style
Should I get a set of white wall tires
Are you going to cruise the miracle mile?
Nowadays you can't be too sentimental
Your best bets are true, baby, blue continental.
Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk
It's still Rock and Roll to me.
...
A cloud appears above your head.
A beam of light comes shining down on you.
Shining down on you.
The cloud is moving nearer still.
Aurora borealis comes in view.
Aurora comes in view.
...
Well, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on the break of day
Yeah, she could could hear the cars roll by
That old 441, like the waves crashing on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
Yeah, its so painful
Something that's so close, yet still so far out of reach.
...
If looks could kill, I'd be dead on the floor
You got me all tied up, honey, begging for more
Somebody call a doctor, I think I'm going crazy.
...
Now I'm lookin' at a flashback Sunday
Zoom lens feelings just won't disappear
Close-up darkroom sweet-talk in my ear.
Her hot-spot love for me is strong
This freeze-frame moment can't be wrong.
...
Blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
You drop your drink then they bring you more
All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian
...
You might think its hysterical
But I know when you're weak
You think you're in the movies
And everything's so deep
...
Oh superman where are you now?
When everythings gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour.
...
Second stage is cut, we're now in orbit
Stabilizers up, running perfect
Starting to collect requested data
"What will it affect when all is done," thinks Major Tom
Back at ground control, there is a problem
"Go to rockets full, not responding.
Hello Major Tom, are you receiving?
Turn the thrusters on, we're standing by."
There's no reply.
...
Lazy gun messed up my television fun
Shoot the shot gun but the war is never won
Who's the enemy who's sucking on my sun?
I'm the only one left now, you've taken all my fun.
...
All dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man
Waitin' for an invitation to arrive
With a dead man, a dead man
Got my best suit and my tie
Shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffeur comin' to the door
Says there's room for maybe just one more .
...
I've been hearing some stories
Of couples so in love
They spend so much time apart
That it never seems to work
But I'm a long, long way from you.
...
Been running so hard, when what I need is to unwind
The voice of reason is one I left so far behind
I've waited so long, so long to play this part
And just remember that I've forgotten about my heart
...
Josef Stalin, Malenkov, Nasser and Prokofiev
Rockefeller, Campanella, Communist Bloc
Roy Cohn, Juan Peron, Toscanini, dacron
Dien Bien Phu and "Rock Around the Clock"
Einstein, James Dean, Brooklyn's got a winning team
Davy Crockett, "Peter Pan", Elvis Presley, Disneyland
Bardot, Budapest, Alabama, Khrushchev
Princess Grace, "Peyton Place", trouble in the Suez
...
I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on T.V.
Two, of a billion stars, it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you
...
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure whats deep inside
frightened of this thing that I've become
...
I have never know the like of this
I've been alone
And I have missed things
And kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite like this mmmmmm
...
So anybody gonna try to guess the songs, or just ignore this blog post as per all my other music entries...?
