Give me things that don't get lost

Yes: Parallels...first two lines, no pun intended.

When you've tried most everything and nothing's taking you higher.
When you come to realize, you've been playing with fire.

You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, you just might get, what you need
Great one. The guys in my high school graduating class wanted to make this our class song but we were outnumbered by the girls who voted for a smaltzie song from the movie Love Story.

"What we want and what we need,
Has been confused, been confused." R.E.M.

"What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground,
How can you run, when you know?" CSNY

Come down off the cross, we can use the wood." Tom Waits

"Good girls don't. Good girls don't.
but I do."

"We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow"

"Well, I hope you won't see me in my ragged company
Well, you know I could never be alone"

"Ain't it funny how the night moves
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose"

"Staring out my window, to the streets below - On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock"

"All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)"

"I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine"

Well, not rock but...

"East bound and down, loaded up and truckin'
We gonna do what they say can't be done"
We got to get out of this place
if it’s the last thing we ever do

He said, "One day, you'll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember"
My father told me when I was just a child
"These are the nights that never die"

Make love to mountain lions.
Sleep at night on branding irons.
I'm so bad baby I don't care.

But little do you know about something that I talk about
I'm tired of driving, it's due time that I walkabout
But in the meantime, I'm wise to the demise
I've got eyes in the back of my head so I realize

I used to order
Just to watch her float across the floor
-Neil Young, Unknown Legend

Knees quake, there ain’t a shotgun in the place
You like the frosting, you just bought the cake
-Replacements, Nobody

I was looking for a job when I found this one
Don’t need the work like you need the work done

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they’ve been known to pick a song or two

This is from Sweet home Alabama by Lynard Skynard. If you’re not familiar with this line find and watch the documentary “Muscle Shoals”. Some amazing stories of music history. I think you can rent it on prime for a couple bucks.

A lot of people here hate this song. Tasteless scoundrels that they are.

She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolor in the rain
