You say you want a revolution.
Well, you know.
We all want to change the world.
You tell me that it’s evolution.
Well, you know.
We all want to change the world.

Revolution
The Beatles (1968), The White Album

Oh Mr Pleasant, how is Mrs Pleasant?
Did you know she was flirting around.
With another young man.
And he’s taking her out.
When you have to work late?
And it’s not so pleasant after all, hey hey.
How are you today?

Mister Pleasant
The Kinks (1967)

A woman that I know just came from Majorca, Spain.
She smiled because I did not understand. (parazzi! Parazzi!) (ole!).
Then she held out a ten pound bag of cocaine.
She said it was the finest in the land.

And I said, no, no, no, no, i don’t sniff it no more.
I’m tired of waking up on the floor.
No, thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze.
And then it makes it hard to find the door.

No No Song
Ringo Starr (1974), Goodnight Vienna

Don’t take her for granted.
She had a hard time.
Don’t misunderstand her.
Or play with her mind.
Treat her so gently.
It will pay you in time.
You’ve gotta know.
She’s the sensitive kind.

Sensitive Kind
J.J. Cale (1979), 5
