hold me tight

when are you gonna jump the wall between us?

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong.
(Bob Dylan, 'Make You Feel My Love', 1997)

love you, mama

this kid knows how to rock

London to LA
Talk about the New Wave
For a couple of bucks ya get a weird haircut
And waste your life away
Around the world or around the block
Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock
(Bryan Adams, Kids Wanna Rock')

life on a bike

hanging on the wire

I’m waiting for the change
I'm dancing through the fire, just to catch a flame
And feel real again.
(Paul Weller, 'You Do Something To Me', 1995)

dive into the sky

waiting to have tea with the Queen

Well we all need someone to lean on
And if you want it, well you can lean on me
(Rolling Stones, 'Let It Bleed', 1969)

silhouette under the bridge

Following the path as it leads toward
The darkness in the north
Weary stranger's faces show their sympathy
They've seen that hope before
(Pink Floyd, 'The Narrow Way', 1968-1969)

just another picture of Thames

dry

You broke another mirror;
you're turning into something you are not.
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
(Radiohead, 'Dry and High', 1995)

'Hey! You! Get off my Cloud!'

I'm in the basement, you're in the sky
(Placebo, 'English Summer Rain', 2004)

alone together (I)

alone together (II)

Alone together, beyond the crowd,
Above the world, we’re not too proud
To cling together, We’re strong
As long as we’re together.
(Howard Dietz, 'Alone Together', 1932)

the one

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
(Pink Floyd, 'Wish You Were Here', 1975)

next to you

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
(Ben E. King, 'Stand By Me')

always a girl

Girl, you'll be a woman soon,
Please, come take my hand
(Neil Diamond, "Girl, you'll Be a Woman Soon", 1967)

'framing' terrorism

You may be a construction worker working on a home,
You may be living in a mansion or you might live in a dome,
You might own guns and you might even own tanks,
You might be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

(Bob Dylan, "Gotta Serve Somebody", 1979)

the Doctor and the Chief

With western eyes and serpent's breath,
We lay our own conscience to rest.
But I'll aching,
At the view
(Portishead, "Western Eyes", 1997)

somebody got murdered

Somebody got murdered on New Year's Eve
Somebody said dignity was the first to leave
I went into the city, went into the town
Went into the land of the midnight sun

Searchin' high, searchin' low
Searchin' everywhere I know
Askin' the cops wherever I go
Have you seen dignity?
(Bob Dylan, "Dignity")
