You say, the world has come between us, Our lives have come between us, and we're falling apart. You say, it's plain to see we're over. But I hate when things are over, with so much left undone.
And I say What about Breakfast at Tiffany's? She said I think I remember the film and as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it, and I said, well that's one thing we got.

One song A song about love Glory From the soul of a young man A young man Find the one song Before the virus takes hold Glory Like a sunset One song To redeem this empty life Time flies And then no need to endure anymore Time dies. . .

And the sons of Pullman porters & the sons of engineers Ride their fathers' magic carpet made of steel Mothers with their babes asleep, rockin' to the gentle beat And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel
Good morning America how are you? Don't you know me I'm your native son, I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans, I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.

The world is not enough, but it is such a perfect place to start, my love. And if you're strong enough together we can take the world apart, my love.

Leave us alone It's not what you think The fire Big guns up for hire F*** what you say We do what we feel Pickin' it up on the down low Makin' sure systems go Breakin' it off with the Endo

"Laughing on the bus Playing games with the faces She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy I said 'Be careful his bowtie is really a camera.'
'Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat.' 'We smoked the last one an hour ago.' So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine And the moon rose over an open field...
'Kathy, I'm lost,' I said, though I knew she was sleeping. 'I'm empty and aching and I don't know why.' Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike They've all gone to look for America All gone to look for America All gone to look for America"

"The poor soul sat sighing by a sycamore tree, Sing all a green willow: Her hand on her bosom, her head on her knee, Sing willow, willow, willow: The fresh streams ran by her, and murmur'd her moans; Sing willow, willow, willow."

"Baker: You move just a finger, Cinderella: You move just a finger, Say the slightest word, Baker: Say the slightest word, Something's bound to linger, Cinderella: Something's bound to linger, Be heard. Baker: Be heard. No one acts alone. Cinderella: Careful. No one is alone."

(btw, Ellie, this is really funny: the "Willow" song from Shakespeare is the first thing that popped into my head but I didn't know what play it was from.)

It's not that easy being green; Having to spend each day the color of the leaves. When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold... or something much more colorful like that.
It's not easy being green. It seems you blend in with so many other ord'nary things. And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water or stars in the sky.

Yesterday All my troubles seemed so far away Now it looks as thought they're here to stay Oh I believe in yesterday Sudlenly, I'm not half the man I used to be There's a shadow hanging over me Oh yesterday, came sudlenly Why she, had to go I don't know she wouldn't say I said, something wrong Now I long for yesterday Yesterday Love was such an easy game to play Now I need a place to hide away Why she, had to go I don't know She wouldn't say I said, something wrong Now I long for yesterday Yesterday Love was such an easy game to play Now I need a place to hide away Oh I believe in yesterday.

Rubin Carter was falsely tried. The crime was murder "one," guess who testified? Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride.

"If you visit American city, You will find it very pretty. Just two things of which you must beware: Don't drink the water and don't breathe the air.
Pollution, pollution, They got smog and sewage and mud. Turn on your tap and get hot and cold running crud.
See the halibuts and the sturgeons Being wiped out by detergents. Fish gotta swim and birds gotta fly, But they don't last long if they try.
Pollution, pollution, You can use the latest toothpaste, And then rinse your mouth with industrial waste.
Just go out for a breath of air, And you'll be ready for Medicare. The city streets are really quite a thrill. If the hoods don't get you, the monoxide will.
Pollution, pollution, Wear a gas mask and a veil. Then you can breathe, long as you don't inhale.
Lots of things there that you can drink, But stay away from the kitchen sink. The breakfast garbage that you throw in to the Bay, They drink at lunch in San Jose.
So go to the city, see the crazy people there. Like lambs to the slaughter, They're drinking the water And breathing <cough> the air."

Moon River, wider than a mile: I'm crossin' you in style someday. Old dream-maker, you heart-breaker, wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way:
Two drifters, off to see the world. There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end waitin' round the bend, my Huckleberry friend, Moon River and me.

Singing words, words between the lines of age. Words, words between the lines of age. If I was a junkman selling you cars, Washing your windows and shining your stars, Thinking your mind was my own in a dream What would you wonder and how would it seem? Living in castles a bit at a time The King started laughing and talking in rhyme.

Beating me down Beating me, beating me down, Down into the ground Screaming so sound Beating me, beating me down, Down into the ground
Falling away from me - it's spinning 'round and 'round Falling away from me - it's lost and can be found. Falling away from me - it's spinning 'round and 'round Falling away from me - slow it down

Whence comes this melody constantly flowing? Is it rejoicing or merely hallowing? Are you discussing or fussing or simply dreaming? Are you crowing? Are you screaming?
