utopia - “the wolf-man jack show” [1972]
i was standing in the shadow of your smile yesterday
and i felt so doggone safe for a while yesterday
i was ready to leave my snail shell made of fear
but you just turned your back at me and left me sitting here
on my gear
snowy sundays melt in sunlight, stormy mondays grow to ice
a lonely voice needs to the desert on his way to paradise
white tornadoes shake the palm trees with sundays turning blue
but my shotgun full of jewels will help me to get through
to you
don't you know that i was paying long long years a lot of dues?
and don't you know that i was waiting all these years just for you?
i keep trying to unfold myself, but you just take a bet
that the gunman at the station's saying, "man you can't do that
yet"
'cause you're playing much too rough now for that lady from the moon
and you do not really love her, you're just looking for a spoon
to leave your troubles at the doorway of this castle down in spain
the strangers try to make it again and again...

sharon jones & the dap kings - “100 days, 100 nights” [2007]
[refrain]
100 days, 100 nights, to know a man's heart
100 days, 100 nights, to know a man's heart
and a little more, before, he knows his own
you know a man can play the part of a saint just so long
for a day comes when his true, his true self unfolds, yes it does
he maybe mellow, he maybe kind
treat you good, all the time
but there's something just beyond what he's told
[refrain]
wait a minute
maybe I need to slow it down just a little; take my time
i had a man (100 days), tell me things (100 nights)
made me feel (100 days), just like a queen (100 nights)
and I thought (100 days), he was the one (100 nights)
i would hold (100 days), oh yes I did (100 nights)
but one day (100 days), I looked around (100 nights)
that old man (100 days), was nowhere to be found (100 nights)
100 days (100 days) for this heart to unfold (100 days 100 nights)
