On That Note: The Pride

[Cupped]

Joni Mitchell. Both Sides Now

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

 

[Cupped]

The Rolling Stones, Luxury

Now listen, I'm a proud man, not a beggar walking on the street
I'm working so hard, to keep you from the poverty
I'm working so hard to keep you in the luxury, oh yeah

 

[drlove]

You might have laughed if I told you
You might have hidden your frown
You might have succeeded in changing me
I might have been turned around
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
Leaving was never my proud
Leaving New York, never easy
I saw the light fading out

Paul McCartney, Brian Wilson, and Curtis Mayfield were all born in the same month (June 1942). In my view, they all belong in any songwriter's Hall of Fame.

 

[drlove]

Adjust your eyes to the light
Let them roll with pride
Focus your mind on the fight
And keep your hand in mine

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Blame it on my own sick pride

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

And if everyone shared and swallowed their pride

 

[matclone]

You're my pride and joy, et cetera

I bet Elenore really adored those words of affection.

 

[cytor]

Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mommy, proud of your sun
Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mommy, proud of your sun

 

[cytor]

And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free

 

[matclone]

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride

 

[matclone]

And so it's true, pride comes before a fall

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

And so it's true, pride comes before a fall

I pointed that one out to both my Beatles loving cohorts. I guess it slipped their minds or not a favorite. Glad you contributed it.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Well, a proud daddy only wanna give his little girl the best

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Pride's like a knife, it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

And the whole world knows I'm fat and I'm proud

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

I've swallowed my pride for you
I've lived and lied for you

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Here come the man with the look in his eye
He's fed on nothing, but full of pride
