Yesterday, when it seemed so cool
When I walked you home, kissed goodnight
I said, “It’s love”, you said, “Alright”
It’s funny how, I could never cry
Until tonight, when you pass by
Hand in hand with another guy
You’re dressed to kill and guess who’s dying
Taken from the song Dance Away by English glam rockers Roxy Music from their sixth studio album Manifesto (1979). They’re such a great band and I’ve already referenced them with Jealous Guy and More than This.
I don’t wanna talk
About things we’ve gone through
Though it’s hurting me
Now it’s history.
I’ve played all my cards
And that’s what you’ve done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
Taken from the incredibly powerful ballad The Winner Takes it All by Swedish group Abba, from their seventh studio album Super Trouper. Although denied by its songwriter Björn Ulvaeus, the emotive lyrics are widely believed to reflect the break up of his marriage to fellow band member Agnetha Fältskog.
To me, you’re strange and you’re beautiful
You’d be so perfect with me
But you just can’t see
You turn every head but you don’t see me
Taken from the song Strange and Beautiful (I’ll put a spell on you), the opening track on the debut album Strange and Beautiful (2005) by English artist Aqualung.
