Big girl in the red dress.
She’s just trying to impress us.
And she’s got the barley fever.
But she doesn’t make a sound.

She’s just hanging around.
She’s just hanging around.

Hanging Around
The Stranglers (1976), Rattus Norvegicus

Have yourself a merry little Christmas.
Let your heart be light.
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas.
Make the Yule-tide gay.
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Judy Garland (1944), Meet Me in St. Louis

Endangered species, caged in fright.
Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight.
The stage is set, now pay the price.
An ego boost, don’t think twice.
Technology, the battle’s unfair.
You pull the hammer without a care.
Squeeze the trigger that makes you Man.
Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned…

Countdown to Extinction
Megadeth (1992), Countdown to Extinction

Riding through the city on my bike all day.
Cause the filth took away my license.
It doesn’t get me down and I feel okay.
Cause the sights that I’m seeing are priceless.
Everything seems to look as it should.
But I wonder what goes on behind doors.
A fella looking dapper and he’s sittin with a slapper.
Then I see it’s a pimp and his crack whore.

You might laugh, you might frown.
Walkin’ round London town.
Sun is in the sky.
Oh why, oh why would I wanna be anywhere else?
Sun is in the sky.
Oh why, oh why would I wanna be anywhere else?
When you look with your eyes.
Everything seems nice.
But if you look twice.
You can see it’s all lies.
