Pushing Through Writer's Block

Hello dear readers. I've been in a mild episode, but I believe I am starting to recover. Writer's block is in place, but I'm going to do my best to overcome it.

Here are two songs I've been thinking about recently:

"My City Was Gone" by the Pretenders

I WENT BACK TO OHIO
BUT MY CITY WAS GONE
THERE WAS NO TRAIN STATION
THERE WAS NO DOWNTOWN

SOUTH HOWARD HAD DISAPPEARED
ALL MY FAVORITE PLACES
MY CITY HAD BEEN PULLED DOWN
REDUCED TO PARKING SPACES

A, O, WAY TO GO OHIO

WELL I WENT BACK TO OHIO
BUT MY FAMILY WAS GONE
I STOOD ON THE BACK PORCH
THERE WAS NOBODY HOME

I WAS STUNNED AND AMAZED
MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES
SLOWLY SWIRLED PAST
LIKE THE WIND THROUGH THE TREES

A, O, OH WAY TO GO OHIO

I WENT BACK TO OHIO
BUT MY PRETTY COUNTRYSIDE
HAD BEEN PAVED DOWN THE MIDDLE
BY A GOVERNMENT THAT HAD NO PRIDE

THE FARMS OF OHIO
HAD BEEN REPLACED BY SHOPPING MALLS
AND MUZAK FILLED THE AIR
FROM SENECA TO CUYAHOGA FALLS

SAID, A, O, OH WAY TO GO OHIO

"The Look Of Love" by ABC

When your world is full of strange arrangements
and gravity won't pull you through
you know you're missing out on something
well that something depends on you.

All I'm saying it takes a lot to love you
all I'm doing you know it's true
all I mean now there's one thing
yes one thing that turns this grey sky to blue.

That's the look that's the look the look of love
that's the look that's the look the look of love
that's the look that's the look the look of love

When your girl has left you out on the pavement (Goodbye)
Then your dreams fall apart at the seams
Your reason for living's your reason for leaving
Don't ask me what it means.

Who got the look? I don't know the answer to that question
Where's the look? If I knew I would tell you
What's the look? Look for your information
Yes there's one thing the one thing that still holds true
What's that?

That's the look that's the look the look of love
that's the look that's the look the look of love
that's the look that's the look the look of love

That's the look that's the look the look of love
that's the look that's the look the look of love
that's the look that's the look the look of love

If you judge a book by the cover
Then you judge the look by the lover
I hope you'll soon recover
Me I go from one extreme to another

And all my friends just might ask me
They say 'Martin, maybe, one day you'll find true love'
And I say 'Maybe, there must be a solution to
The one thing, the one thing, we can't find'

That's the look that's the look, Sisters and Bothers
that's the look that's the look, should help each other
that's the look that's the look, oh, oh, oh,
Heavens above.

That's the look that's the look, hip hip hooray, ay.
that's the look that's the look, yippee ai yippee aiay
that's the look that's the look, be lucky in love
Look of love.
