"But we can carry it,
It's not too far."

"Amazing!!? . He was 61 in this album" (Luis Olias on Youtube)  "Why do we do what we should not? Why do we love what we cannot have? (Lou Reed/booklet)"im selling 4 lou reed / velvets records if anyone wants them i love them but im totally skint and need the money." (sofaguard/www.loureedforum.com)
"Ooohhh
Why didn't you call on me
why didn't you call, call on me"

Diana Krall: Cry me a River
"What's sick is I didn't buy her music in the used? music store (when they existed) because she's so damn good looking I assumed she was a fake hollywood package.

"Now you say you're lonely
You cry the long night through"

Rainhard Fendrich: Der letzte Tag

F. über Wolfgang Ambros)
"Es riacht so nach Abschied
Und nach Tod"

The Pretty Things: Don't you lie to me
"and a raucous singer could bridge the synapse and unleash some of that maniacal energy" (Greg Shaw)  "THE PRETTY THINGS packs the band's lock-up-your-daughters-and-liquor-cabinets stage charm into tightly wound Bo Diddley covers" (Rolling Stone, 1999) Getting shook up in this fashion is unpleasant, and not just for the person who's being lied to: a verse later, Berry explains that the lies make him "evil as a man can be."  It's all a question of where the lie's effect eventually lands." www.moistworks.com)
"Don't lie to me don't you lie to me
Yeah, you made me sad, I'll get evil as a man
can be"

The Beatles: Julia
"Don’t be blunt and ignorant about a songwriter as amaizing as John Lennon when your trying to teach people something." ("luciintheskywithdiamonds answers Ashley Chittock) "Als John 17 ist, wird Julia von einem betrunkenen Polizeibeamten überfahren und stirbt."  (Portrait www.kino.de) "Lennon: “That was another big trauma for me. I lost her twice. Once when I was moved in with my auntie. And once again at seventeen when she actually, physically died. That was very traumatic for me. That was really a hard time for me. It made me very, very bitter.”" (Playboy, zitiert in Wikipedia)
"When I cannot sing my heart
I can only speak my mind"

Bono and the MHD Band: Never let me go
"the song is on the album of Passengers" (Satyana Ness on Youtube) "Soon after the death of Bono's mother, Stewart took care of Bono, cleaning his clothes, going to school with him, and cooking for him." (www.debate.org)  "Mel Gibson, who said of the film, “I thought it was as boring as a dog’s ass.”" www.theenthusiast.com.au)

Unless it catches you by the heel
That even then, you struggle"

 Giora Feidman: Papirossen
