Bohemian Rhapsody -Queen
"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality , Open your eyes , Look up to the skies and see , I'm just a poor boy , I need no sympathy , Because I'm easy come, easy go , Little high, little low , Any way the wind blows , Doesn't really matter to me, to me..." Dare I go on?

Moonage Daydream-David Bowie
I'm an alligator, I'm a mama-papa coming for you
I'm the space invader, I'll be a rock 'n' rollin' bitch for you
Keep your mouth shut,

And I'm busting up my brains for the words
