"...And a little peace goes a long long way
It's peace we want, for peace we pray
A little peace goes a long long way
It's peace we want, for peace we pray
Ain't so crazy, John Lennon knew
That a little peace goes a long long way when you want it to..."

Julia
Music & lyrics by The Beatles, Lennon-McCartney 1968
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Half of what I say is meaningless
But I say it just to reach you, Julia.
Julia, Julia, oceanchild, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia.
Julia, seashell eyes, windy smile, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia.
Her hair of floating sky is shimmering, glimmering,
In the sun.
Julia, Julia, morning moon, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia.
When I cannot sing my heart
I can only speak my mind, Julia.
Julia, sleeping sand, silent cloud, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia.
Hum hum hum hum... calls me
So I sing a song of love for Julia, Julia, Julia.

"f you live by the sword, gonna die by the sword
If you live by the gun, you gonna die by the gun
If you live for the knife, well, you’re gonna get stabbed
Run into the law, well, you’re gonna get nabbed
If you live for revenge, gonna feel the backlash
If you live to be cruel, gonna bite you in the ass..."
Lyrics The Rolling Stones, 2023

"Baby sings the blues... for you
She may get happy later
Baby cries for comfort
For something to surround her
And when she sings it
You believe her
How everyone she ever knew
Would leave her spinning 'round
All on fire..."

Shooting Star

WV161/1991
Drawing inspired after "The Princess Bride", a movie from 1987.
"Come my love, I'll tell you a tale
Of a boy and girl and their love story
And how he loved her, oh, so much
And all the charms she did possess
Now this did happen once upon a time
When things were not so complex
How he worshiped the ground she walked
And when he looked in her eyes he became obsessed
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings, I feel
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings, I feel
It's as real as the feelings, I feel..."
STORYBOOK LOVE - Mark Knopfler & Willie DeVille, 1987.

SUNSHINE ON MY SHOULDER
Music & lyrics by John Denver, Dick Kniss and Mike Taylor
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
If I had a day that I could give you
I’d give to you a day just like today
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I’d sing a song to make you feel this way
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
If I had a tale that I could tell you
I’d tell a tale sure to make you smile
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
I’d make a wish for sunshine all the while

Return To Paradise
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Gary Osborne 1978
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's paradise here where the sun meets the sea
There's nothing to fear and so much to be
But soon I must go, say goodbye to it all
That homeland of mine is beginning to call
Goodbye doesn't mean this has to be the end
Fading dreams grow cold as ice
And I got a feeling we will meet again
When we return to paradise
The wind in our hair and the sun in our eyes
There's no need for tears and no time for lies
So reach out your hand and I'll reach out my heart
Remember me while we are apart
I'm heading homeward
Leaving sunshine and heading for rain
But we'll return to paradise again

"Everybody's got a million questions
Everybody wants to know the score
What you went through
It's something you should be over now
Everybody wants to hear the secrets
That you never told a soul before
And it's not that strange
'Cause it wouldn't change what happened anyhow
But you swore to yourself a long time ago
There were some things that people never needed to know
This is one that you keep, that you bury so deep
No one can tear it out
And you can't talk about it
'Cause you're following a code of silence
You're never gonna lose the anger
You just deal with it in a different way..."
CODE OF SILENCE - Billy Joel (& Cyndi Lauper), 1986.

"'m the only one down here
Who's got nothing to say
About the war
Or the rice
That keeps going astray on its way to Bombay
That smog that keeps polluting up our shores
Is boring me to tears
Why don't you call me, Miss O'Dell?
I'm the only one down here
Who's got nothing to fear
From the waves
Or the rice
That keeps rollin' on right up to my front porch
The record player's broken on the floor
And Ben, he can't restore it
Miss O'Dell
I can tell you
Nothing new
Has happened since I last saw you
Why don't you call me, Miss O'Dell? ..."
"Miss O'Dell" is a B-side song from George Harrison, 1973..

PLEASE PLEASE ME
I Saw Her Standing There
Music & lyrics by The Beatles, Lennon-McCartney 1963
Elton John & John Lennon Live 1974 NYC
---------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
She was just seventeen
And you know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
I couldn't dance with another
When I saw her standing there
Well she looked at me
and I could see
That before too long I fell in love with her
I couldn't dance with another
When I saw here standing there
Well my heart went boom
As I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Oh we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I feel in love with her
I couldn't dance with another
When I saw here standing there

Mrs. Vandebilt
Music & lyrics by Wings/Paul McCartney
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Down in the jungle living in a tent
You don't use money you don't pay rent
You don't ever know the time
But you don't mind
Ho Hey Ho...
When your light is on the blink
You never think of worrying
What's the use of worrying?
When your bus has left the stop
You'd better drop your hurrying
What's the use of hurrying?
Leave me alone Mrs. Vandebilt
I've got plenty of time of my own
What's the use of worrying?
What's the use of hurrying?
What's the use of anything?
Ho Hey Ho...
What's the use of worrying?
What's the use of hurrying?
What's the use of anything?
Ho Hey Ho...
When Your Pile Is On The Wane
You Don't Complain Of Robbery
Run Away Don't Bother Me
What's The Use Of Worrying?
What's The Use Of Anything?
Leave Me Alone Mrs Washington
I've Done Plenty Of Time On My Own
What's The Use Of Worrying?
What's The Use Of Hurrying? (No Use!)
What's The Use Of Anything?

Your Sister Can't Twist (But She Can Rock 'n' Roll)
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1973
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I could really get off being in your shoes
I used to be stone sold on rhythm and blues
A heard of a place at the back of town
Where you really kick the shit when the sun goes down
I really got buzzed when your sister said
"Throw away them records 'cause the blues is dead
Let me take you honey where the scene's on fire"
And tonight I learned for certain that the blues expired
Oh your sister can't twist but she can rock and roll
Out bucks the broncos in the rodeo-do
She's only sixteen but it's plain to see
She can pull the wool over little old me
Your sister can't twist but she can rock and roll
Your sister can't twist but she got more soul than me
Somebody help me 'cause the bug bit me
Now I'm in heaven with the aching feet
But I'll be back tonight where the music plays
And your sister rocks all my blues away
I really got buzzed when your sister said
"Throw away them records 'cause the blues is dead
Let me take you honey where the scene's on fire"
And tonight I learned for certain that the blues expired
"This is my floor
This is where I lie
This is a square room
That was a bright light
These are not my eyes
What is my soul
Where is my tired heart
That is the question
Where is the answer
Inside my house..."

IN YOUR LETTER
Music & lyrics by REO Speedwagon 1980
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In your letter ooh in your letter
In your letter ooh in your letter
In your letter ooh in your letter
In your letter ooh in your letter
In your letter you said you didn't love me
You said you're gonna leave me
But you could've said it better
Oh in your letter, you said you couldn't face me
You said you could replace me
But you could've said it better
You could've left him only
For an evening let him be lonely
But you hid behind your poison pen and his pride
You could've told him something
And proved to me you don't love him
But you hid behind your future full of lies
You could've left him only
For an evening let him be lonely
But you hid behind your poison pen and his pride
You could've told him something
And proved to me you don't love him
But you hid behind your future full of lies
In your letter you said you didn't love me
You said you're gonna leave me
But you could've said it better
Oh in your letter, you said you couldn't face me
You said you could replace me
But you could've said it better
