Due to the [current quest](https://community.ld4all.com/t/quest-34-august-make-a-wish-come-true/28783):grin: … I woke up with this song playing in my head :tongue:

ROCK STAR Nickelback

[i]I’m through with standing in line  
to the clubs i’ll never get in  
It’s like the bottom of the ninth  
and I’m never gonna win  
This life hasn’t turned out  
quite the way I want it to be

(tell me what you want)

I want a brand new house  
on an episode of Cribs  
And a bathroom I can play baseball in  
And a king size tub big enough  
for ten plus me

(yeah,so what you need)

I’ll need a, a credit card that’s got no limit  
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it  
Gonna join the mile high club  
At thirty-seven thousand feet

(Been there done that)

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars  
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard  
Somewhere between cher and  
James Dean is fine for me

(So how ya gonna do it?)

I’m gonna trade this life for fortune and fame  
I’d even cut my hair and change my name

[CHORUS]  
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars  
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars  
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap  
We’ll all stay skinny cause we just won’t eat  
And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars  
In the VIP with the movie stars  
Every good gold digger’s  
Gonna wind up there  
Every Playboy bunny  
with her bleach blonde hair  
and well…  
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar  
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels  
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes  
Sign a couple autographs  
So I can eat my meals for free

(I have a quesadilla… on the house)

I’m gonna dress my ass  
with the latest fashion  
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion  
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to  
blow my money for me

(So how ya gonna do it?)

I’m gonna trade this life  
For fortune and fame  
I’d even cut my hair  
And change my name

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars  
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars  
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap  
We’ll all stay skinny cause we just won’t eat  
And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars  
In the VIP with the movie stars  
Every good gold digger’s  
Gonna wind up there  
Every Playboy bunny  
with her bleach blonde hair  
And we’ll hide out in the private rooms  
With the latest dictionary  
in today’s who’s who  
We’ll get you anything  
with that evil smile  
Everybody’s got a  
drug dealer on speed dial  
well…  
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I’m gonna sing those songs  
that offend the censors  
Gonna pop my pills  
from a pez dispenser  
Get washed-up singers writing all my songs  
Lip sync 'em every night so I don’t get 'em wrong

Well we all just wanna be big rockstars  
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars  
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap  
We’ll all stay skinny cause we just won’t eat  
And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars  
In the VIP with the movie stars  
Every good gold digger’s  
Gonna wind up there  
Every Playboy bunny  
with her bleach blonde hair  
And we’ll hide out in the private rooms  
With the latest dictionary  
in today’s who’s who  
We’ll get you anything  
with that evil smile  
Everybody’s got a  
drug dealer on speed dial well…  
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar  
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar[/i]

edit … Sunday 3rd August  
I was just thinking of an old vinyl LP I used to own … and had to look up the lyrics to three songs :content: … all by Jim Reeves  
[color=blue]  
I’ve Enjoyed As Much Of This As I Can Stand

You look lovelier tonight than I remember I’m so glat I got to see you once again  
I’ve enjoyed just sitting down and reminiscing  
But I’ve enjoyed as much of this as I can stand  
There’s so much more between us than this table  
All those years all those dreams all those plans  
Guess you know without me saying I still love you  
But I’ve enjoyed as much of this as I can stand  
[guitar]  
So you say you’re happy now you’ve found a new love  
Tell him I said he’s a lucky lucky man  
No I don’t think I’ll have time to see his picture  
I’ve enjoyed as much of this as I can stand  
There’s so much more between us…[/color]

[color=indigo]  
Little Ole Dime

Little ole dime you’re the last of a pocketful I’ve put all the others in this telephone  
I’ve called all over town for a lost love let this last number be the right one  
Little ole dime you’re my last chance to find her  
And I’m placing all my last hopes on you  
Let me tell her I’ll always be waiting  
Just in case things don’t work out with someone new  
Little ole dime please don’t disappoint me I can’t call anymore you’re my last dime  
Tomorrow she’ll be gone with her new love  
And I’ve just got a talk to her one more time  
[guitar]  
Little ole dime as you leave my shaking fingers I pray I’ll hear her answer the phone  
The sound of her voice will ease my heartaches  
Even though I know tomorrow she’ll be gone  
Little ole dime here you go after the others if she answers or not it’s still goodbye  
I’m almost afraid to dial the number if she isn’t there I know I’m gonna cry  
Little ole dime please don’t disappoint me…[/color]

[color=darkblue]Lonely Music

An empty glass another coin in the jukebox this pain inside keeps hurtin’ on and on  
The music starts a blue blue song is playing  
You don’t need me anymore now I’m alone  
But the guy who writes that lonely music  
Needs lonely hearts like mine that he can write about  
As the words tell their story how I miss you  
This lonely music keeps reminding me of you  
So talk to me talk to me oh lonely music it tells me I’m a fool for trusting you  
Just can’t hold back the tears any longer this lonely music keeps reminding me of you  
[steel]  
So talk to me talk to me oh lonely music…[/color]

[color=blue]Talking Walls

When the shades of twilight close the day in my solitute I steal away  
And a sweet familiar voice calls from the shadows of the talking walls  
The talking walls bring laughter tears and pain  
A touch of summer’s love and winter’s rain  
Every step we made my heart recalls you are there behind the talking walls  
[piano]  
As they speak to me I hear your name and a spark is kindled to a flame  
Such a vivid memory walks in and I’m reaching for the phone again  
The talking walls bring laughter…[/color]
