Gerry Rafferty - Get It Right Next Time

Life is a liar yeah life is a cheat
It'll lead you on and pull the ground from underneath your feet
No use complainin', don't you worry, don't you whine
Cause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time

Never look back, never kneel down while you still can breathe
Be the brave soul, be the hero your son wants to see
Echoing in the night, we can hear scream of your
Untiring courage that nobody will ever forget. .

I'm not quite sure what this song is about, but it sounds like an epic struggle against something.

Triumph.
Fight The Good Fight.
1981.

Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong.
You got to read between the lines.
Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid.
We can make it through another day.

 
Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Still Unbroken.
2009.

Given the number of tragedies that have occurred to members of Lynyrd Skynyrd over the years, this song is perfect for the survivors.

I guess I've lost everything I've had.
But I'm not dead, at least not yet.
Still alone, still alive, still unbroken.

 
Johnny Nash.
I Can See Clearly Now.
1972.

Oh, yes I can make it now the pain is gone.
All of the bad feelings have disappeared.
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for.

It's gonna be a bright (bright).
Bright (bright) sunshiny day.

 
Rare Earth.
I Just Want To Celebrate.
1971.


Well, I can't be bothered with sorrow.
And I can't be bothered with hate, no, no.
I'm using up the time but feeling fine, every day.
That's why I'm telling you I just want to celebrate.
I just want to celebrate another day.
Oh, I just want to celebrate another day of livin'.
I just want to celebrate another day of life.
