So I’m pickin’ ‘em up and I’m laying ‘em down.
I believe he’s gonna work me into the ground.
I pull to the left, I heave to the right.
I want to kill him but it wouldn’t be right.

Working For The Man
Roy Orbison (1962), In Dreams: The Greatest Hits

Once upon a time there was a tavern.
Where we used to raise a glass or two.
Remember how we laughed away the hours.
And dreamed of all the great things we could do.

Those were the days my friend.
We thought they’d never end.
We’d sing and dance forever and a day.
We’d live the life we choose.
We’d fight and never lose.
For we were young and sure to have our way.

Those Were the Days
Mary Hopkin (1968)

Swan Lake
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1875–76)

The tide is high but I’m holdin’ on.
I’m gonna be your number one.
I’m not the kind-a girl who gives up just like that, oh no.

It’s not the things you do that tease and hurt me bad.
But it’s the way you do the things you do to me.
I’m not the kind-a girl who gives up just like that, oh no.

The Tide Is High
The Paragons (1966), On the Beach
