Can you see the real me, Doctor... Doctor?!

#TheBeatles #NorwegianWood

I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me
She showed me her room, isn’t it good, norwegian wood?

She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn’t a chair

I sat on the rug, biding my time, drinking her wine
We talked until two and then she said, “It’s time for bed”

She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh
I told her I didn’t and crawled off to sleep in the bath

And when I awoke I was alone, this bird had flown
So I lit a fire, isn’t it good, norwegian wood?

I am a child, I’ll last a while.
You can’t conceive
of the pleasure in my smile.
You hold my hand,
rough up my hair,
It’s lots of fun
to have you there.

God gave to you,
now, you give to me,
I’d like to know
what you learned.
The sky is blue
and so is the sea.
What is the color,
when black is burned?
What is the color?

You are a man, you understand.
You pick me up
and you lay me down again.
You make the rules,
you say what’s fair,
It’s lots of fun
to have you there.

God gave to you,
now, you give to me,
I’d like to know
what you learned.
The sky is blue
and so is the sea.
What is the color,
when black is burned?
What is the color?

I am a child, I’ll last a while.
You can’t conceive
of the pleasure in my smile.

Owoooooooo
Who’s that I see walkin’ in these woods
Why, it’s Little Red Riding Hood
Hey there Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are looking good
You’re everything a big bad wolf could want
Listen to me

Little Red Riding Hood
I don’t think little big girls should
Go walking in these spooky old woods alone
Owoooooooo

What big eyes you have
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad
So just to see that you don’t get chased
I think I ought to walk with you for a ways

What full lips you have
They’re sure to lure someone bad
So until you get to grandma’s place
I think you ought to walk with me and be safe

I’m gonna keep my sheep suit on
Until I’m sure that you’ve been shown
That I can be trusted walking with you alone
Owoooooooo

Little Red Riding Hood
I’d like to hold you if I could
But you might think I’m a big bad wolf so I won’t
Owoooooooo!

What a big heart I have-the better to love you with
Little Red Riding Hood
Even bad wolves can be good
I’ll try to be satisfied just to walk close by your side
Maybe you’ll see things my way before we get to grandma’s place

Hey there Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are looking good
You’re everything that a big bad wolf could want
Owoooooooo
I mean baaaaaa
Baaa

#SamCooke #AnotherSaturdayNight

Another Saturday night and I ain’t got nobody
I got some money ‘cause i just got paid
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I’m in an awful way

I got in town a month ago, I seen a lotta girls since then
If I could meet ‘em I could get ‘em but as yet I haven’t met ‘em
That’s why I’m in the shape I’m in 

Here another Saturday night and I ain’t got nobody
I got some money ‘cause I just got paid
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I’m in an awful way

Another fella told me he had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of being my deliverance, she had a strange resemblance
to a cat named Frankenstein 

Here’s another Saturday night and I ain’t got nobody
I got some money ‘cause I just got paid
How I wish I had some chick to talk to
I’m in an awful way

(Here it is another weekend and I ain’t got nobody
Man if I was back home I’d be swinging
Two chicks on my arm
Aww yeah
Listen to me huh)

It’s hard on a fella, when he don’t know his way around
If I don’t find me a honey to help me spend my money
I’m gonna have to blow this town

Here it’s another Saturday night and I ain’t got nobody
I got some money ‘cause I just got paid
How I wish I had some chick to talk to
I’m in an awful way

#Istanbul (#Not Constantinople) 

#TheFourLads

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it’s Istanbul not Constantinople
Been a long time gone
Old Constantinople’s still has Turkish delight
On a moonlight night

Evr’y gal in Constantinople
Is a Miss-stanbul, not Constantinople
So if you’ve date in Constantinople
She’ll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it, I can’t say
(People just liked it better that way)

Take me back to Constantinople
No, you can’t go back to Constantinople
Now it’s Istanbul, not Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That’s nobody’s business but the Turks’

Istanbul!!

Istanbul!!

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it, I can’t say
(People just liked it better that way)

Take me back to Constantinople
No, you can’t go back to Constantinople
Now it’s Istanbul, not Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That’s nobody’s business but the Turks’

‘stanbul!!

#SteelyDan - #Kings

Now they lay his body down 
Sad old men who run this town 
I still recall the way 
He led the charge and saved the day 
Blue blood and rain 
I can hear the bugle playin’ 

CHORUS: 
We seen the last of Good King Richard 
Ring out the past his name lives on 
Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher 
Raise up your glass to Good King John 

While he plundered far and wide 
All his starving children cried 
And though we sung his fame 
We all went hungry just the same 
He meant to shine 
To the end of the line 

CHORUS

#SteelyDan MidnightCruiser 
Felonius my old friend
Step on in and let me shake your hand
So glad that you’re here again
For one more time
Let your madness run with mine
Streets still unseen we’ll find somehow
No time is better than now

[Chorus:]
Tell me where are you driving
Midnight cruiser
Where is your bounty
Of fortune and fame
I am another
Gentlemen loser
Drive me to Harlem
Or somewhere the same

The world that we used to know
People tell me it don’t turn no more
The places we used to go
Familiar faces that ain’t smilin’ like before
The time of our time has come and gone
I fear we been waiting too long

[Chorus]

#SteelyDan #FireInTheHole

I decline to walk the line
They tell me that I’m lazy
Worldly wise, I realize
That everybody’s crazy
A woman’s voice reminds me
To serve and not to speak
Am I myself or just another freak

You know, there’s fire in the hole
And nothin’ left to burn
I’d love to run out now
There’s nowhere left to turn, no no

With a cough, I shake it off
And work around my yellow stripe
Should I hide or eat my pride
Or wait until’ it’s good and ripe
My life is boiling over
It’s happened once before
I wish someone would open up the door

Don’t you know, there’s fire in the hole
And nothin’ left to burn
I’d love to run out now
There’s nowhere left to turn

Don’t you know, there’s fire in the hole
And nothin’ left to burn
I’d love to run out now
There’s nowhere left to turn

#HereToday - #PaulMcCartney

And If I Say I Really Knew You Well
What Would Your Answer Be.
If You Were Here Today.

Ooh- Ooh- Ooh- Here To - Day.

Well Knowing You,
You’d Probably Laugh And Say That We Were Worlds Apart.
If You Were Here Today.
Ooh- Ooh- Ooh- Here To - Day.

But As For Me,
I Still Remember How It Was Before.
And I Am Holding Back The Tears No More.
Ooh- Ooh- Ooh- I Love You, Ooh-

What About The Time We Met,
Well I Suppose That You Could Say That We Were Playing Hard To Get.
Didn’t Understand A Thing.
But We Could Always Sing.

What About The Night We Cried,
Because There Wasn’t Any Reason Left To Keep It All Inside.
Never Understood A Word.
But You Were Always There With A Smile.

And If I Say I Really Loved You
And Was Glad You Came Along.

If You Were Here Today.
Ooh- Ooh- Ooh- For You Were In My Song.
Ooh- Ooh- Ooh- Here To - Day.

122 Quebec protesters arrested in raucous night before proposed strike-breaking legislation
A bid to restore order in restive Quebec was met with streets clogged with thousands of protesters, a multitude of flying projectiles, several smashed windows, and blasts of pepper spray leading to 122 arrests.

The unrest on Wednesday night followed the Quebec government’s announcement it would suspend the current academic session for striking students in an effort to calm things down.

It also hinted at more punitive measures, without sharing details. (Photos: ROGERIO BARBOSA/AFP/GettyImages)
