Stevie Wonder wrote songs in the key of life.

We met as soulmates on Parris Island, we left as inmates from an asylum...
And it was dark, so dark at night, and we held on to each other like brother to brother, we promised our mothers we'd write.....Goodnight Saigon

<div align="center">Leningrad
Viktor was born in the spring of '44
And never saw his father anymore
A child of sacrifice, a child of war
Another son who never had a father after Leningrad
Went off to school and learned to serve the state
Followed the rules and drank his vodka straight
The only way to live was drown the hate
A Russian life was very sad
And such was life in Leningrad
I was born in '49
A cold war kid in McCarthy time
Stop 'em at the 38th Parallel
Blast those yellow reds to Hell
And cold war kids were hard to kill
Under their desk in an air raid drill
Haven't they heard we won the war
What do they keep on fighting for?
Viktor was sent to some Red Army town
Served out his time, became a circus clown
The greatest happiness he'd ever found
Was making Russian children glad
And children lived in Leningrad
But children lived in Levittown
And hid in the shelters underground
Until the Soviets turned their shps around
And tore the Cuban missiles down
And in that bright October sun
We knew our childhood days were done
And I watched my friends go off to war
What do they keep on fighting for?
And so my child and I came to this place
To meet him eye to eye and face to face
He made my daughter laugh, then we embraced
We never knew what friends we had
Until we came to Leningrad

I somehow found a way for a retardely hot chick to fall for me, but I became fatter and balder and drunker and pushed her away until she started banging some other dude and everyone found out when their helicopter crashed and then she left me, and now I'm nothing but a fat drunk.

That's a sad story.

"Well they say there's a heaven for those who'll wait, Some say It's better but I say It ain't, I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints, the sinners are much more fun.......Only the good die young."
Best line ever written. I want It tattoo'd on my forehead.

Yesterday you were an only child
Now your ghosts have gone away
You can kill them in the classic style
Now you, "parlez vous francais"
Makes perfect sense.
