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
