Anything to avoid finals, part 2

I've compiled a partial list of great song lyrics that mostly pertain to life. You'll find there's a lot of repetition in the bands that provide these lyrics, but hey, some people can write good lyrics and some people can't.

“With every mistake, we must surely be learning.” –The Beatles, “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”

“Inside my heart is breaking, my makeup may be flaking, but my smile stays on.” –Queen, “The Show Must Go On.”

“You’ve got to keep one eye looking over your shoulder. It’s going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older.” –Pink Floyd, “Dogs”

“Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.” –The Who, “Won’t Get Fooled Again.”

“Don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years. Face it, make your stand, and realize you’re living in the golden years.” -Iron Maiden, “Wasted Years”

“Whaddya mean I don’t believe in God? Talk to him every day.” –Megadeth, “Peace Sells”

“Nothing you can do, but you can learn how to be you in time.” –The Beatles, “All You Need is Love”

“I will hope, my soul will fly, and I will live forever.” -Iron Maiden, “The Thin Line Between Love and Hate.”

“Yesterday’s sorrows, tomorrow’s white lies.” -Iron Maiden, “Remember Tomorrow”

“Rock’n’Roll ain’t noise pollution. Rock’n’Roll ain’t gonna die.” –AC/DC, “Rock’n’Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution

“I’ll tip my hat to the new Constitution, take a bow for the new revolution, smile and grin at the change all around, pick up my guitar and play, just like yesterday, then I’ll get on my knees and pray we don’t get fooled again.” –The Who, “Won’t Get Fooled Again”

“No point asking when it is, no point asking who’s to go, no point asking what’s the game, no point asking who’s to blame… if you’re gonna die, die with your boots on. If you’re gonna try, stick around; if you’re gonna cry, just move along.” –Iron Maiden, “Die With Your Boots On”

“And now my life has changed in oh so many ways. My independence seems to vanish in the haze.” –The Beatles, “Help!”

“All we are is dust in the wind.” –Kansas, “Dust in the Wind”

“And when you lose control, you’ll reap the harvest you have sown.” –Pink Floyd, “Dogs”

“And I will pray for you; some day I may return. Don’t you cry for me; beyond is where I yearn.” –Iron Maiden, “The Evil That Men Do”

“And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you, no-one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.” –Pink Floyd, “Time”

“And in my last hour, a slave to the power of death.” –Iron Maiden, “Powerslave”

Post-Craig Review: Dr. No

 Back to the very beginning. This is a lie. "The beginning" would surely be a review of Ian Fleming's 1953 novel Casino Royale...
