Thanks Victorious.. you may have to humour me while I try it out.

^^When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away

70s^^

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two (yes they do)
Lord, they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue, now how 'bout you?

Sweet Home Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd.

That's The Sweet, Ballroom Blitz

They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive
Eye if the Tiger

But she's not afraid to die, the people all call her Alaska
Between worlds so the people ask her 'cause it's all in her mind
It's all in her mind

60s

Would it be enough for your cheating heart
If I broke down and cried?
If I cried?

70s

I call you on the telephone my voice too rough with cigarettes
I sometimes feel I should just go home
But I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets

70s

Ow, oh, hey, you
Who said that?
Baby, how you been?
You say you don't know
You won't know until you begin

80s

Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine

80s

These are all mine which are outstanding. Two are from the same group.
Did they get missed, or do you want more lines?
