Lawrence Arms - 100 Resolutions

Where hav I been all your life?
Sitting on fences, a novocaine for all the senses.
Another year will pass us by.
Making sense of nothing, in defense of something.
I laughed too late and dug myself into a grave.
This year I'll try not to think too much.
This year I'll try to stand up for myself.
This year I'll live like I've never lived before,
this is my year for sure.
Another stupid clumsy story.
More accidental aspirations.
Another explosion of silence.
I think I'm going deaf, or maybe I'm just hearing less.
This year I'll try to only listen to myself.
This year I'll try not to think too much.
This year I'll try to stand up for myself.
This year I'll live like I've never lived before,
this is my year for sure.
I wonder where you'll be bringing in the new year.
As midnight clocks are singing,
good chance I'll be slobbering somewhere.
Probably pass out, wasted, and sleeping until the smoke clears.
Vague memories of midnight flash in tune to morning sunlight.
Wake up knowing you'll never be there.
I've got 100 resolutions, but I've got no solutions.
I've got one song I write 100 times.
And only a dozen or so rhymes.
This year I'll try not to drink so much.
This year I'll try to stand up straight.
This year let's live liked we've never lived before,
this is our year for sure.

Sheena Easton - Morning Train

I wake up every mornin',
I stumble out of bed
Stretchin' and yawnin',
another day ahead
It seems to last forever,
and time goes slowly by
Till babe and me's together,
then it starts to fly

'Cause the moment that he's with me,
time can take a flight
The moment that he's with me,
everything's alright
Night time is the right time,
we make love
Then it's his and my time, we take off

*My baby takes the morning train,
he works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
to find me waitin' for him

Chorus

He takes me to a movie,
or to a restaurant, to go
Slow dancing, anything I want
Only when he's with me,
I catch light
Only when he gives me,
makes me feel alright

Chorus

All day I think of him,
dreamin' of him constantly
I'm crazy mad for him,
and he's crazy mad for me
When he steps off that train,
I'm makin' a fool, a fight
Work all day to earn his pay,
so we can play all night

Chorus

Chorus

He's always on that morning train
He works so hard
To find me waiting for him...
