The Kinks - Victoria (1969) Live TV



The Kinks
"Victoria"
Album: Arthur (Or The Decline and Fall of The British Empire) - (1969 Pye)

SINGLE:



LYRICS:

Long ago life was clean
Sex was bad and obscene
And the rich were so mean
Stately homes for the Lords
Croquet lawns, village greens
Victoria was my queen
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria

I was born, lucky me
In a land that I love
Though I am poor, I am free
When I grow I shall fight
For this land I shall die
Let her sun never set
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, toria

Land of hope and gloria
Land of my Victoria
Land of hope and gloria
Land of my Victoria
Victoria, 'toria
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria

Canada to India
Australia to Cornwall
Singapore to Hong Kong
From the West to the East
From the rich to the poor
Victoria loved them all
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria

Amy Winehouse - Stronger Than Me (2003) R.I.P.(1983-2011)



Amy Winehouse
"Stronger than Me"
Album: Frank (2003 Island)

SINGLE


LYRICS:

You should be stronger than me 
You been here 7 years longer than me 
Don't you know you supposed to be the man, 
Not pal in comparison to who you think I am, 

You always wanna talk it through - I don't care! 
I always have to comfort you when I'm there 
But that's what I need you to do - stroke my hair! 
Cos' I've forgotten all of young love's joy, 
Feel like a lady, but you my lady boy, 

You should be stronger than me, 
But instead you're longer than frozen turkey, 
Why'd you always put me in control? 
All I need is for my man to live up to his role, 
Always wanna talk it through - I'm ok, 
Always have to comfort you every day, 
But that's what I need you to do - are you gay? 

I've forgotten all of young love's joy 
Feel like a lady, but you my lady boy 

He said 'the respect I made you earn - 
Thought you had so many lessons to learn' 
I said 'You don't know what love is - get a grip!' - 
Sounds as if you're reading from some other tired script 

I'm not gonna meet your mother anytime 
I just wanna rip your body over mine 
So tell me why you think that's a crime 

I've forgotten all of young love's joy 
Feel like a lady, but you my lady boy

Ric Ocasek and band on ABC's "Fridays" , Sept, 19th , 1980.

The Cars
"Touch and Go"
Album: Panorama (1980 Elektra)

SINGLE :



LYRICS:

all i need is what you've got
all i'll tell is what you're not
all you know is what you hear
i get this way when yo come near

[Chorus:]
then I know it's gone too far
oh, oh, I touched your star
and it felt so right
like the hush of midnight
until you said
with me it's touch and go

all i need is you tonight
i'm flying like a cement kite
in your headlock on the floor
who could ever ask for more

[Chorus]

all I want is you tonight
i guess that dress does fit you tight
and how that look does make me shake
it almost looks too good to take

[Chorus]
