Brian Douglas Wilson b. June 20, 1942

I keep looking for a place to fit,
Where I can speak my mind.
I've been trying hard to find the people
That I won't leave behind.


They say I got brains,
But they ain't doing me no good,
I wish they could.


Each time things start to happen again
I think I got something good goin' for myself,
But what goes wrong


Sometimes I feel very sad
(Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into).


I guess I just wasn't made for these times.


Every time I get the inspiration
To go change things around
No one wants to help me look for places
Where new things might be found.


Where can I turn when my fair weather friends cop out?
What's it all about?


Each time things start to happen again
I think I got something good goin' for myself,
But what goes wrong.


Sometimes I feel very sad
(Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into)


I guess I just wasn't made for these times

Sir Paul McCartney, MBE b. June 18, 1942

I'll give you all I've got to give
If you say you love me too.
I may not have a lot to give
But what I've got I'll give to you.
I don't care too much for money.
For money can't buy me love!

   -"Can't Buy Me Love" by J.Lennon/P.McCartney 1964

If I could sing like Paul McCartney, or get funky like Etta James,
I'd never change, I'd never change, I'd never change silver heeled ways.

We used to shine, shine, shine, shine.
Say what a pair, say what a team.
We used to ride, ride, ride, ride
In a long black limousine

Nothing gets in my way,
Not even locked doors.

That been laid before.
I get along anyway I dare.
Anyway, anyhow, anywhere.

Without love, I'm incomplete.

Without love, I am not whole.

Without love, I'm barely on my feet.

I am dying without love.

Lucinda Williams b. January 26, 1953

Cotton fields stretching miles and miles,
Hank's voice on the radio,
Telephone poles, trees and wires fly on by,
Car wheels on a gravel road.

Warren Zevon b. January 24, 1947

I was staying at the Marriott
With Jesus and John Wayne
I was waiting for a chariot
They were waiting for a train
The sky was full of carrion
"I'll take the mazuma"
Said Jesus to Marion
"That's the 3:10 to Yuma
My ride's here..."

My Ride's Here by W.Zevon 2002

Wolfman Jack b. January 21, 1938

Now you maybe want a man who throws round his money
But he ain't as cools a Wolfman Jack
And you might want yourself a man
who don't act so funny
But he ain't your fool like Wolfman Jack!
