20. Savage Garden - I Want You
Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

I just hold on tight and If it happens again
I may move so slightly to the arms
And the lips and the face
Of The Human Cannonball that
I need to I want to...

Keep movin' on

You know the first time I traveled out
in the rain and snow,
- In the rain and snow.
I didn't have no payroll,
Not even no place to go.

an exit to eternal summer slacking
but where were they going without ever knowing the way?
15. The Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste

Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
14. Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper
The curtains flew then he appeared...saying don't be afraid
Come on baby...and she had no fear

She had taken his hand...she had become like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
13. Styx - Renegade
Oh momma I've been years on the lam
And had a high price on my head

Dear momma I can hear you a'crying
You're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
And I don't have very long
12. Supertramp - Take the Long Way Home
But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery
all the greenery is comin' down, boy
And then your wife seems to think you're part of the
furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice.
11. INXS - Pretty Vegas
Thumbin’ your way to Vegas, dirty
And Dreamin’ of the other side…
Save your tears and laughter because
It doesn’t matter what you find
It ain’t pretty
After the show
It ain’t pretty when the pretty leaves you
With no place to go.
10. Boston - More than a Feeling
So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky
9. Steve Miller Band - Jet Airliner
Goodbye to all my friends at home
Goodbye to people I've trusted
I've got to go out and make my way
I might get rich you know I might get busted
But my heart keeps calling me backwards
As I get on the 707
Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes
You know you got to go through hell
Before you get to heaven
8. INXS - Afterglow
Bathed in blue,
The walls of my memory divides,
The thorns from the roses.
It's you and the roses

Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're alone
All you do is think

when people are shoving
pushing you into the ground
and you cry in the daylight
the sun in your eyes
even though you know you're not alone

in new orleans
they call the rising sun
and it's been
the ruin
of many a poor boy
and God, I know, I'm one

but you know he'll always keep moving
you know he's never gonna stop moving
because he's rolling, he's the rolling stone
and when you wake up it's a new morning
the sun is shining, it's a new morning
and you're going, you're going home
3. INXS - Mystify
All veils are misty
streets of blue
almond looks
that chill devine
some silken moment
goes on forever
and we're leaving
broken hearts
behind
2. INXS - Kick
Look ahead
But don't mix it up
Baby look ahead
To better days and better ways
Make peace with flesh and blood
Make peace with your love
Nothing more I could ask of you
In the end this is the truth
1. INXS - Hear That Sound
So your time has come
children watch the fools
don't let anyone tell you
what you must do
do you like what you see?
does it make you cry?
use your imagination to start a fire
