"Wild Horses" by the Rolling Stones

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

"I Want Your Sex" by George Michael

I remember how shocking this song was when it first came out in 1987. Well, it's certainly not subtle:

Part 1

There's things that you guess
And things that you know
There's boys you can trust
And girls that you don't
There's little things you hide
And little things that you show
Sometimes you think you're gonna get it
But you don't and that's just the way it goes

I swear I won't tease you
Won't tell you no lies
I don't need no Bible
Just look in my eyes
I've waited so long baby
Now that we're friends
Every man's got his patience
And here's where mine ends

I want your sex
I want your love
I want your sex
I want your...
Sex

It's playing on my mind
It's dancing on my soul
It's taken so much time
So why don't you just let me go
I'd really like to try
Oh I'd really love to know
When you tell me you're gonna regret it
Then I tell you that I love you but you still say no!

I swear i won't tease you
Won't tell you no lies
I don't need no Bible
Just look in my eyes
I've waited so long baby
Out in the cold
But I can't take much more girl
I'm losing control

I want your sex
I want your love
I want your sex
I want your...
Sex
Sex!

It's natural
It's chemical (let's do it)
It's logical
Habitual (can we do it?)
It's sensual
But most of all...
Sex is something taht we should do
Sex is something for me and you

Sex is natural - sex is good
Not everybody does it
But everybody should
Sex is natural - sex is fun
Sex is best when it's... One on one
One on one

I'm not your father
I'm not your brother
Talk to your sister
I am a lover

C-c-c-c-come on

What's your definition of dirty baby?
What do you consider pornography?
Don't you know I love you till it hurts me baby?
Don't you think it's time you had sex with me?

What's your definition of dirty baby?
What do you call pornography?
Don't you know i love you till it hurts me baby?
Don't you think it's time you had sex with me?

Sex with me
Sex with me
Have sex with me

C-c-c-c-come on.


Part 2 (less played on radio)

Oh so much love
That you've never seen
Let's make love
Put your trust in me

Don't you listen to what they told you
Because I love you
Let me hold you
Oh

I'm not your brother
I'm not your father
Oh will you ever change your mind?
I'm a gentle lover with a heart of gold
But baby you've been so unkind, oh

Come on
I want your sex
Come on, I want your sex
That's right, all night
Oh, I want your sex
I want your... Sex

Sexy baby's
Sexy body
Keeps me guessing
With a promise
I know we can come together
But the question is
Will we ever?

Sexy baby's (sexy baby's)
Sexy body (sexy body)
Keeps me guessing

With a promise
I know we can come together
But the question is
Will we ever?

Together - you and me

"Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol

Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door
Last night a little angel came pumpin' on my floor
She said "Come baby I got a licence for love"
And if it expires pray help from above

In the midnight hour she cried- "More, more, more!"
With a rebel yell she cried- "More, more, more!"
In the midnight hour babe- "More, more, more!"
With a rebel yell- "More, more, more!"
More, more, more!

She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg
But when I'm tired and lonely she sees me to bed
What set you free and brought you to be me, babe?
What set you free? I need you here by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried- "More, more, more!"
With a rebel yell she cried- "More, more, more!"
In the midnight hour babe- "More, more, more!"
With a rebel yell- "More, more, more!"

He lives in his own heaven
Collects it to go from the seven eleven
Well he's out all night to collect a fare
Just so long, just so long it don't mess up his hair

I walked the ward with you, babe
A thousand miles with you
I dried your tears of pain, babe
A million times for you (for you)

I'd sell my soul for you babe
For money to burn with you
I'd give you all, and have none, babe
Justa, justa, justa, justa to have you here by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried- "More, more, more!"
With a rebel yell she cried- "More, more, more!"
In the midniight hour babe- "More, more, more!"
With a rebel yell she cried "More, more, more!"
More, more, more.

Oh yeah little baby
She want more
More, more, more, more, more.

Oh yeah little angel
She want more
More, more, more, more, more!

"Radioactive" by the Firm

Dont' stand too close 'cause you might catch it:

Well I'm not uptight
Not unattracted
Turn me on tonight
'Cause I'm radioactive (radioactive)

Well there's not a fight
And I'm not your captive
Turn me loose tonight
'Cause I'm radioactive (I'm radioactive)

I want to stay with you
I want to play with you, baby
I want to lay with you
And I want you to know

Got to concentrate
Don't be distractive
Turn me on tonight
'Cause I'm radioactive (radioactive)

I want to stay with you
I don't want to play with you
I want just to lay with you
And I want you to know

Got to concentrate
Don't be distractive
Turn me on tonight
I'm radioactive

Oh yeah, radioactive
Don't you stand...stand too close
You might catch it
Don't stand too close, baby
Radioactive
Oh yeah
Radio radio radio radioactive

"The One" by Elton John

(lyrics by Bernie Taupin)

I saw you dancing out the ocean
Running fast along the sand
A spirit born of earth and water
Fire flying from your hands

In the instant that you love someone
In the second that the hammer hits
Reality runs up your spine
And the pieces finally fit

And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Baby you're the one

There are caravans we follow
Drunken nights in dark hotels
When chances breathe between the silence
Where sex and love no longer gel

For each man in his time is Cain
Until he walks along the beach
And sees his future in the water
A long lost heart within his reach

And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Ooh, baby you're the one

And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Baby you're the one

"Heart of Glass" by Blondie

Traded in my heart of glass for something a little tougher:

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising, yeah

Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light*

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

*could be "Yeah, riding high on those few foolish lies"

"Love Is A Battlefield" by Pat Benatar

Happy Valentine's Day:

(Mike Chapman & Holly Knight)

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

You're beggin' me to go, you're makin' me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad?
It would help me to know
Do I stand in your way?
Or am I the best thing you've had?
Believe me, believe me, I can't tell you why
But I'm trapped by your love, and I'm chained to your side

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us were wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

We're losing control
Will you turn me away?
Or touch me deep inside?
And if all this gets old, will it still feel the same?
There's no way this will die
But if we get much closer, I could lose control
And if your heart surrenders, you'll need me to hold

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

"Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye

My mom was horrified that I loved this song when it came out in 1982. I still love it:

(Marvin Gaye/David Ritz/Odell Brown)

Ooh, now let's get down tonight
Baby I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing, oh baby
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual Healing baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me

Whenever blue tear drops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up baby, and
Honey I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the things you're dealing
I can tell you, darling, that it's Sexual Healing
Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up, let's make love tonight
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, 'cos you do it right

Baby I got sick this morning
A sea was storming inside of me
Baby I think I'm capsizing
The waves are rising and rising
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us
Sexual Healing, baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me

And it's good for me and it's good to me
My baby ohhh
Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind soon we'll be making it
Honey, oh we're feeling fine
You're my medicine open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great
I can't wait for you to operate
I can't wait for you to operate
When I get this feeling, I need Sexual Healing

"Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car" by Billy Ocean

I've always loved this fun, goofy song:

Hey (hey) you (you), get in to my car
(Who me?)
Yes you, get in to my car
Woooooooooh. Wah! Hey!

Who's that lady
Coming down the road
Who's that lady
Who's that woman
Walking through my door
What's the score
I'll be the sun
Shining on you
Hey Cinderella
Step in your shoe
I'll be your non-stop lover
Get it while you can
Your non-stop miracle
I'm your man

Get outta my dreams
Get in to my car
Get outta my dream
Get in to the back seat baby
Get in to my car
Beep Beep, yeah
Get outta my mind
Get in to my life
Ooooooh
Oh I said hey (Hey) you (You)
Get in to my car

Oh baby

Lady driver
Let me take your wheel
Smooth operator
Touch my bumper (Bumper)
Hey, let's make a deal
Make it real
Like a road runner
Coming after you
Just like a hero
Outta the blue
I'll be your non-stop lover
Get it while you can
Your non-stop miracle
I'm your man

Get outta my dreams
Get in to my car
Get outta my dreams
Get in the back seat baby
Get in to my car
Beep beep, yeah
Get outta my mind (get outta my mind)
Get in to my life
Ooooh
Oh I said hey (Hey) you (You)
Get in to my car

Oh baby, let's go!

I said open the door
(Get in the back)
Tread on the floor
(Get on the track)

Yeah (Yeah) yeah (Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah) yeah (Yeah)

Let's go!!

Oooh, wooow, yeah

I'll be the sun
Shining on you
Hey Cinderella
Step in your shoe

Get it while you can
Your non-stop miracle
