Marvin Gaye "Flying High In A Friendly Sky" (1971)
The song was originally recorded under a slightly different mix a year before as "Sad Tomorrows" which Gaye co-wrote by Fuller Gordy and Delores Wilkinson and featured background vocals by The Originals, with whom had big hits under Gaye's productions. Like the later version of the song, Marvin also sings totally in falsetto. The song also ends faster than the later version and that version was later put in remastered re-issues of What's Going On including the Deluxe Edition issue.
Flying high in the friendly sky
Flying high without ever leavin' the ground, no
Rest of the folks are tired and weary
Oh Lord, and have laid their bodies down.
I go the place where danger awaits me
and it's bound to forsake me.
So stupid minded.
I can't help it
oh ya, so stupid minded.
But I go crazy when I can't find it,
In the morning, I'll be alright, my friend.
But soon the night will bring the pains,
The pain, oh the pain
Flying high in the friendly sky
Without ever leaving the ground
And I ain't seen nothing but trouble baby
Nobody really understands, no no
And I go to the place where the good feelin' awaits me
Selfdestruction in my hand
Oh Lord, so stupid minded
Oh and I go crazy when I can't find it
Well I know I'm hooked my friend
To the boy who makes slaves out of men.
And oh beleive me
Flying high in a friendly sky
Oh baby, flyin' high

88 fingers louie - reparation
LYRICS:
I made my mistake.
Empty bottles in my wake (and it hit me so hard).
Reality sets in to separate what was real in my mind.
At that moment in time,
no way that i could hide the sordid truth-of what i did to you.
Then it hit me so hard-waking up to someone much meaner than you.
When it hit me so hard i thought of you.
Excuses are made.
And nothing's left to say to try and take it back.
Unanswered call-a missed opportunity to repair a heart
that's been broken in two from misery.
At that moment in time,
no way that i could hide the sordid truth-of what i did to you.
Then it hit me so hard-waking up to someone much meaner than you.
When it hit me so hard...
Did you think of me?
Did it bring you heartache?
Promises won't change what's happened.
I live with my mistake.

Junkie's Runnin' Dry - OPERATION IVY
I always looked up on the ones who walked away
Choosing themselves over preset
Ways of looking at a future that had no room for the
Questions they lived for
Always knew i never could have walked away myself
My self worth was beyond any help
And i didnt care to test it against the rejection i had seen before
But those i loved so much they underwent a change
They're working fourty hours they got caught in the game
Like junkies running dry, the vulnerability
They're always there on time
We're never satisfied like junkies running dry
This wonderful generosity
A third of our lives to do what we please
Doesn't look that great to me
In fact it doesnt even look fair
They call it youthful idealism
And even I would have to agree with them
Except some of us grow up and its still there
I grow up too slow I don't wanna go
But now i'm working just like everyone else
But ill get out of here
Ohio Players- I Want To Be Free
wow. first the drum intro kills
then vocals. um yes pls.
lyrics.. all day.. woo wooo woo woo.

Burning Spear - Cry Blood Africans
I and I don't make up I and I mind
To go through the same thing like
I and I foreparents go through
No, before that, cry blood Africa
Cry blood, cry blood Africa
Cry blood cry blood
Cry blood cry Africa
Who are they that invade Africa
Saying that they employ my sister
They were so presumptious
Who dare them to say that
Cry blood, Africa cry blood
Cry Africa cry blood

NOFX- stickin in my eye
When I look 'round, I only see outta one eye
As the smoke surrounds my head, the sauna
I hear the voices, but I can't make out their words
Saying things, saying things that
I got something sticking in my eye
Got something sticking in my eye ( X 2 )
I feel unusual from thinking
About the underground decay, God help me
Kill beneath the camera, watch the world begin to cry
It's not from pity, it comes from
What's been sticking in my eye
Got something sticking in my eye
