You, be running up that hill
You and me, be running up that hill
You and me won't be unhappy.
three miles up, three miles down.
4. he wears a pear of silver wings
kay kyser
Although some people say he's just a crazy guy
To me he means a million other things
For he's the one who taught this happy heart of mine to fly
He wears a pair of silver wings.
are those dusty jump wings? how do you expect to slay the huns with dust on your jump wings?
5. oh johnny, oh johnny
andrews sisters
Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny!
How you can love
Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny!
Heavens above
You make my sad heart jump with joy
And when you're near I just can't sit still a minute
the andrews sisters love pee wee martin.
p.s. but ladies, johnny is gorgeous. just you know.
6. two of us
guster
Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters
On my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home.
malark and moore on a motorcycle.
and marlark and muck. and nix and winters. and bill and babe. and muck and penk.
oh, boys.
7. the soldering life
the decemberists
But you,
My brother in arms,
I'd rather I'd lose my limbs
Than let you come to harm.
nixon: i'm all right! i'm all right... am i all right?
winters: yeah, yeah, you are.
nixon: yeah? quit lookin' at me like that!
8. i'll be seeing you
vera lynn
I'll find you
In the morning sun
And when the night is new.
I'll be looking at the moon,
But I'll be seeing you.
guarnere: what the hell you doin' back here?
toye: had to make sure you were on top of things.
9. mairzy doats
the pied pipers
If the words sound queer and funny to your ear,
a little bit jumbled and jivey
Sing "Mares eat oats and does eat oats
and little lambs eat ivy."
you called me babe.
10. he ain't heavy, he's my brother
the housemartins
The road is long with many of winding turns
That lead us to who knows where,
who knows where
But I'm strong,
strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
we stand alone together.
11. the boxer
simon and garfunkel
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains.
and if, somehow, i managed to get home again, i promised god and myself
that i would find a quiet piece of land someplace and spend the rest of my life in peace.
12. no one would riot for less
bright eyes
Little soldier, little insect, you know war it has no heart,
it will kill you in the sunshine, or happily in the the dark.
Where kindness is a card game, or a bent up cigarette.
In the trenches, in the hard rain, with a bullet and a bet.
you've seen death and suffered together.
i'm proud to have served with each and every one of you.
13. why we fight: string quartet in c-sharp minor opus 131
beethoven
you see what you have done to my people?
14. blood on the risers
sun harbor's chorus
Is everybody happy? Cried the Sergeant looking up
Our hero feebly answered yes, and then they stood him up
He jumped into the icy blast, his static line unhooked
And he ain't gonna jump no more!
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die!
we pull upon the risers,
we fall upon the grass.
we never land upon our feet,
we always hit our ass!
