List your favourite 7 songs of the moment. No matter their genre, if they have lyrics or not, or if they downright suck, as long as they're your favourite songs right now and that they're the soundtrack of your summer.
- well not so much of the summer as of just songs I heard relatively recently.
Mike Oldfield - FAMILY MAN
She Had A Sulky Smile,
She Took A Standard Pose As She Presented Herself.
She Had Sultry Eyes,
She Made It Perfectly Clear That She Was His For A Price.
But He Said, "Leave Me Alone, I'm A Family Man,
And My Bark Is Much Worse Than My Bite!"
He Said, "Leave Me Alone, I'm A Family Man.
If You Push Me Too Far, I Just Might...."
==================================================================
Tom Petty - FREE FALLING
And all the vampires walkin' through the valley move west down ventura
Boulevard.
And all the bad boys are standin' in the shadows, and the good girls
Are home with broken hearts.
I wanna glide down over mulholland i wanna write her name in the sky.
I'm gonna free fall out into nothin', gonna leave this world for a while.
====================================================================
Elton John - ROCKET MAN
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it’s cold as hell
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
==================================================================
Pink Floyd - LEARNING TO FLY
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
Theres no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Cant keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
==============================================
Peter Shilling - 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.
4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
calling, calling home...
Across the stratosphere,
a final message:
"Give my wife my love."
Then nothing more.
================================================
Highwaymen - HIGHWAYMAN
I fly a starship across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..
====================================================
Chris De Burgh - READ MY NAME
Endlessly amazing and inventive that we are, we dive the
Deepest oceans and we reach out for the stars,
And one day there will be a man across the universe,
Who'll say "I come from Planet Earth" and these will
Be his words; "I have been here, read my name, read my name;
With all I've got I've taken part, I've made a
Difference to the world, I have been here, just read
My name !"
