369. Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard - Paul Simon
The mama pajama rolled outta bed, and she ran to the police station
When the papa found out, he began to shout, and he started the investigation
It's against the law, it was against the law
What the mama saw, it was against the law
The mama looked down and spit on the ground every time my name gets mentioned
The papa said oy, if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention
Well I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin'
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time, but I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
[Instrumental break]
In a couple of days they're gonna take me away
But the press let the story leak
When the radical priest come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
And I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin'
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time, but I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard

368. Keep me in my plane - WhoMadeWho
Watch a movie I've seen five times before
Fall asleep with my head
on the emergency door
Food tastes good at 50,000 feet...
Red wine and cognac
make me feel complete
make me feel safe ( x 2 )
keep me in my place
There's snow and ice on Greenland below
One more place
I would like to go
make me feel safe ( x 2 )
keep me in my place
Watch a movie I've seen five times before
Fall asleep with my head
on the emergency door
make me feel safe ( x 2 )
keep me in my place

367. Chicago - Sufjan Stevens
I fell in love again
all things go, all things go
drove to Chicago
all things know, all things know
we sold our clothes to the state
I don't mind, I don't mind
I made a lot of mistakes
in my mind, in my mind
you came to take us
all things go, all things go
to recreate us
all things grow, all things grow
we had our mindset
all things know, all things know
you had to find it
all things go, all things go
I drove to New York
in the van, with my friend
we slept in parking lots
I don't mind, I don't mind
I was in love with the place
in my mind, in my mind
I made a lot of mistakes
in my mind, in my mind
you came to take us
all things go, all things go
to recreate us
all things grow, all things grow
we had our mindset
all things know, all things know
you had to find it
all things go, all things go
if I was crying
in the van, with my friend
it was for freedom
from myself and from the land
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes
you came to take us
all things go, all things go
to recreate us
all things grow, all things grow
we had our mindset
all things know, all things know
you had to find it
all things go, all things go
you came to take us
all things go, all things go
to recreate us
all things grow, all things grow
we had our mindset
(I made a lot of mistakes)
all things know, all things know
(I made a lot of mistakes)
you had to find it
(I made a lot of mistakes)
all things go, all things go
(I made a lot of mistakes)
366. Sweet Elaine - Josh Rouse
After a 365 song therapy, life continues. With new music. New discoveries.
Still, the passion is the same. For good lyrics and good sounds.
Good things come to those who wait,
I work so hard, for you,
Please help me see this through,
My sweet Elaine
Sweet Elaine
Here we go again,
Making new arrangements
A wedding with some strangers,
It's a fantasy
Drink the rain,
Before the weather changes,
New years and new faces,
Lost of celebrations,
For no reason.
Holding on to something real,
Holding on to love's embrace,
Good things come to those who wait,
My sweet Elaine.
Why slow down?
We've always moved around,
Strangers and acquaintances,
This conversations crazy,
What am I to do?
Sweet Elaine,
Help me to ease this pain.
'fore the book starts over,
I found a four leaf clover,
On your front step.
Holding on to something real,
Holding on to love's embrace,
Good things come to those who wait,
I work so hard, for you,
Please help me see this through,
Oh my sweet Elaine.
Holding on to something real,
Holding on to love's embrace,
Good things come to those who wait,
I was never one to stay,
But I'm holding on
I'm holding on,
I'm holding on,
I work so hard for you,
Please help me see this through,
Please help me see this through,
Oh my sweet Elaine.
Still, the passion is the same. For good lyrics and good sounds.
Good things come to those who wait,
I work so hard, for you,
