Album cover[1]How 'bout getting off these antibiotics
How 'bout stopping eating when I'm full up
How 'bout them transparent dangling carrots
How 'bout that ever elusive kudo
Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence
How 'bout me not blaming you for everything
How 'bout me enjoying the moment for once
How 'bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
How 'bout grieving it all one at a time
Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence
The moment I let go of it was the moment
I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it
Was the…

The Carpenters: We’ve only just begun:1970:Lyrics and Video
We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
We've only begun
Before the rising sun we fly
So many roads to choose
We start out walking and learn to run
And yes, we've just begun
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talking it over just the two of us
Working together day to day
Together
And when the evening comes we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, We've just begun

Terra Naomi - Up There
I met her a couple of years back when she played a small private gig in Cape Town - Man......she is amazing...

Terra Naomi - Up There
Roll into your town and I’m walking around
Got some extra time think I’ll throw some money down
And you follow me around
And you’re asking for the time
Your asking what I found
Think I’m gonna rob you blind
Maybe it’s the tattoo on my arm
That I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york
A heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine
I can see your point, I can see your point
And up here I am who I am
And if you don’t like it then fuck you, man
I’m not a thief and a whore
Please don’t follow me around next time I’m shopping in your store
And up here I’m making you aware
That if you don’t like me well I don’t care
I’ll be exactly who I am and if you got a problem with it
Well that’s your problem, man
After I’ve paid count the money that you made
Then you go to the show like to be entertained
And I get up on the stage
Trained monkey in a cage
And it’s just another day just another day
And I can see you from my place on the stage
Third row center aisle
Hot blond with you
All smiles
And you got another woman but that’s in another town
And you can’t wait til this is over
Gonna lay that honey down
And up here I am who I am
And if you don’t like it then fuck you, man
I’m not a thief and a whore
Please don’t follow me around next time I’m shopping in your store
And up here I’m making you aware
That if you don’t like me well I don’t care
I’ll be exactly who I am and if you got a problem with it
Well that’s your problem, man
And your good values taught you how to behave
Who to treat kindly and who to enslave
And like all good men you still fall to the floor
When a great big rack
And a ripe round ass
Walk through that door…
And up here I am who I am
And if you don’t like it then fuck you, man
I’m not a thief and a whore
Please don’t follow me around next time I’m shopping in your store
And up here I’m making you aware
That if you don’t like me well I don’t care
I’ll be exactly who I am and if you got a problem with it
Well that’s your problem, man
The Proclaimers: I’m gonna be:1988:Lyrics and video

And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you

And when I'm dreaming, well, I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you

Build Me Up Buttercup: The Foundations: 1968: Lyrics and video
Suffice to say it; I have a thing for “bubble-gum pop.” The noun “pop,” requires two adjectives to qualify it! “Bubble-gum.” Why? That’s a good question; I don’t have an intelligent answer!”
Why do you build me up (build me up) buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around?
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) buttercup, don't break my heart
"I'll be over at ten, " you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then (bah dah dah)
I went to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again
baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey) a little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Why do you build me up (build me up)

It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
People tell me love's for fools
Here I go breaking all the rules
Seems so easy
Yeah, so doggone easy
Oh it seems so easy
Yeah where you're concerned
My heart can learn

Look into your heart and see

It seems so easy
Yeah, so doggone easy
Oh it seems so easy
Yeah where you're concerned
My heart can learn
Oh it's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
It seems so easy
Oh so doggone easy

Bubble Gum music was popular in the late 60's and early 70's, before disco came to spoil music forever.
It was played at parties and had a positive "let's dance" feel, although most of it was factory produced and not serious music.
The term Bubblegum" related to "listen to it once or twice and then discard it". (chew it and spit it out). Very much like modern hip-hop that has no musical value and all sounds the same. One of the most successful numbers was Sugar Sugar by the Archies, a fictional band (like the Monkees) who was created in a studio for TV audiences.
Wikipedia
Bubblegum pop (also known as bubblegum music or simply bubblegum) is a genre of music with an upbeat sound contrived and marketed to appeal to pre-teens and teenagers, which may be produced in an assembly-line process, driven by producers and often using unknown singers. Bubblegum's classic period ran from 1967 to 1972.[1] A second wave of bubblegum began two years later and ran until 1977 when disco took over.
The genre was predominantly a singles phenomenon rather than an album-oriented one. Acts were typically manufactured in the studio using session musicians, and most bubblegum pop groups were one-hit wonders.[2] Among the best-known acts of bubblegum's golden era are 1910 Fruitgum Company (a clear exception to the one-hit wonder rule), the Lemon Pipers ("Green Tambourine", credited as being the first bubblegum pop chart-topper[1]), the Ohio Express ("Yummy Yummy Yummy"), and the Archies, an animated group which had the most successful bubblegum song with "Sugar, Sugar", Billboard Magazine's No. 1 single for 1969. Singer Tommy Roe also scored several hits during the era, including the 1969 number one hit "Dizzy".

Some of the Bubble Gum numbers became favourite Rock numbers.
This used to be one of our favourite covers and always rocked the house!

Tina Turner:What’s love got to do with it?: 1984:Lyrics and video
You must understand though the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that ooo
What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken
It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me ooo
What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be…

Three Days Grace

I'm on the outside looking through
I know I'm not the same as you
I'd rather be faceless than ignored
Than be in the in-crowd desperate for
A way to fit in just a little more
I am an outsider
I don't care about the in-crowd, no
Better off on my own now
I am an outsider
I don't care about the in-crowd, no
I'm better off on my own now
I don't wanna be any part of your scene
I don't believe what you believe
I'd rather be faceless in the dark
Than be so fake like the way you are
Yeah that's why I stay so far away from you
I am an outsider
I don't care about the in-crowd, no
Better off on my own now
I am an outsider
I don't care about the in-crowd, no
I'm better off on my own now
There comes a time we draw the line
Decide we're better off on the outside
There comes a time we draw the line
Decide we're better off on the outside
I am an outsider
I don't care about the in-crowd, no
Better off on my own now
I am an outsider
I don't care about the in-crowd, no
I'm better off on my own now
