    Lookin out a dirty old window
    Down below the cars in the city go rushing by
    I sit here alone and I wonder why

    Going against the purpose of the thread but in light of recent events this song really hits a nerve. I've always loved it.



    At Seventeen

    I learned the truth at Seventeen
    That love was meant for beauty queens
    And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
    Who married young and then retired

    The valentines I never knew
    The Friday night charades of youth
    Were spent on one more beautiful
    At seventeen I learned the truth

    And those of us with ravaged faces
    Lacking in the social graces
    Desperately remained at home
    Inventing lovers on the phone

    Who called to say "Come dance with me"
    And murmured vague obscenities
    It isn't all it seems
    At seventeen

    A brown eyed girl in hand-me-downs
    Whose name I never could pronounce
    Said, "Pity, please, the ones who serve
    They only get what they deserve"

    And the rich relationed hometown queen
    Marries into what she needs
    With a guarantee of company
    And haven…


    Janis Ian.

    Saw a train set the night on fire
    I smelled the spring on the smoky wind

    Sometimes I feel I’ve got to run away
    I’ve got to get away
    From the pain you drive into the heart of me.

    You used to say live and let live
    (you know you did, you know you did, you know you did!)

    Its a long time since I saw you
    Well you know how time can fly
    It seems like yesterday we were lovers
    Now we pass each other by.

    And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife.

    I've come across the desert to greet you with a smile, my camel looks so tired it's hardly worth my while.
