We Built This City on Rock and Roll

George Ezra
Shotgun

“Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name”

The Rolling Stones
Sympathy for the Devil

Will you tell me what you saw,
and I’ll tell you what you missed
When the ocean met the sky
You missed when time and life shook hands
and said goodbye
When the Earth folded in on itself

Modest Mouse
Ocean Breathes Salty

I could feel the whole world
turn round underneath me.

Rod Stewart / The Shotgun Express
I Could Feel The Whole World Turn Round

This ground is not the rock I thought it to be

Tool
Flood

If this world is turning too fast for your head
Just remember how bad times can roll instead
Guess I’ll have to search the space in my mind
For that stillness in time.

Jamiroquai
Stillness In Time

Rock of ages, rock of ages
Still rollin’, keep a-rollin

Def Leppard
Rock of Ages

How does it feel?
To be without a home?
Like a complete unknown?
Like a rolling stone?

Bob Dylan
Like a Rolling Stone

Still cruisin’ after all of these years

The Beach Boys
Still Cruisin’

We are digging holes to China
Then we pray to our reflections
In the water when it rises

Counting Crows
God Of Ocean Tides

And as I roll along,
I begin to find
Things aren’t always just what they seem

Jack Johnson
Upside Down

Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine


We all live in a yellow submarine

The Beatles
Yellow Submarine

Time flies by in the yellow and green
Stick around and you’ll see what I mean

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow

Coldplay
Yellow

We’ll begin with a spin
Traveling in the world of my creation
What we’ll see will defy explanation

Willy Wonka
Pure Imagination

Or am I standing still?
Beneath the darkened sky
Or am I standing still?
With the scenery flying by

Jewel
Standing Still

I held the pieces of my soul
I was shattered
And I wanted you to come and make me whole

Vertical Horizon
I’m Still Here

But I don’t think it’s coincidence
And I don’t believe in accidents
It’s time to ask ourselves
Why are we still here?

Information Society
Still Here

We just want to dance here,
someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible,
write us off the page

Starship
We Built This City

But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

The Rolling Stones
Sympathy for the Devil

Don’t you remember?
We built this city on rock and roll
