I know what you mean, Gams. This song immediately popped into mind when I saw the word "special".
from "Brass In Pocket" by The Pretenders
Gonna use my arms,
Gonna use my legs,
Gonna use style,
Gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers
Gonna use my my my imagination.
Oh, 'cause I gonna make you see
there's nobody else here, no one like me.
I'm special
So SPECIAL
I got to have some of your ATTENTION
Give it to me!
next: attention

Oh, I loved that song - and The Pretenders - back in the day, Siren!
from "Set It Off" by Audioslave
Suddenly a shot
Ripped into his heart
He lay in need of some attention
And there he played his card
Going into shock
The last thing that he said was
Set this *bleep* off

Me too, Gams. They had some great tunes - "Back On The Chain Gang", "Don't Get Me Wrong", "2000 Miles", and of course, "I'll Stand By You".

Said it played a sad song that made him cry.

Okie From Muskogee, by Merle Haggard & Roy Burris (covered by the Dead & the Beach Boys)
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
We don’t take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
We like living right and being free
We don't make a party out of loving
We like holding hands and pitching woo
We don't let our hair grow long & shaggy
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do
I'm proud to be an Okie fromMuskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
next word: squares, square

I aaaalmost went with "The Look Of Love", just so I could post a link to the Diana Krall version.
Oh, what the heck!
I would LOVE to have been at that show. Imagine, hearing such romantic, sexy music performed in a beautiful theater in Paris. *sigh*
But instead, I'll quote another wonderful song. I never appreciated it until I heard it sung by a lady at a little opry I used to sing at in the Ozarks. Her husband of many years was the steel guitar player. And when she sang it, she would look at him with such love.
"Waltz Across Texas" by Ernest Tubb
When we dance TOGETHER my world's in DISGUISE
It's a fairyland tale that's come true
And when you look at me with those stars in your eyes
I could waltz across Texas with you
Waltz across Texas with you in my arms
Waltz across Texas with you
Like a storybook ending I'm lost in your charms
And I could waltz across Texas with you
My heartaches and troubles are just up and gone
The moment that you come in view
And with your hand in mine dear I could dance on and on
And I could waltz across Texas with you
Waltz across Texas with you in my arms
Waltz across Texas with you
Like a storybook ending I'm lost in your charms
And I could waltz across Texas with you
next: together

I've always thought watching two people perform who have feelings for each other brings something more to the song than just music. (Does that make sense?)
from "Schism" by Tool
I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame it doesn't mean I don't desire
To point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication
next word: tumble(ing)

I agree, Gams. One of my favorite performances in that regard was a video of Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter singing "Storms Never Last" in-concert. Waylon finally pulls his guitar aside and puts his arm around her shoulder, stroking her hair and singing to her with love and flirtation in his eyes. And she is blushing and grinning like a schoolgirl, and seems thrilled to death. As they sing the final words, he bend her back and plants a kiss on her. And this after more than a decade of marriage. It's adorable.
from "Sacred Ground" by McBride & The Ride
This ain't just some neon love come lately
It's a PRECIOUS thing you don't know nothing about
We were joined in the eyes of the Lord,
In the eyes of our hometown
Why don't you leave her alone
You're treading on sacred GROUND
next: precious

Now fail me.

I went looking to confirm lyrics and saw this instead.
Pure Imagination ~ Willy Wonka
Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination
We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy

In Honor of You(George) ~ Carly Simon
I'm stuck in some over-the-mountain town
In a meaningless bar where fat hands
Round the steiners
And no one cares if it suns or pours
In an hour between trains
Barney puts the record on
And the aimless rise to dance
Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
I see you, George, in your
Apartment on Riverside Drive
Some fifty years ago
Your fingers on the keys
Looking for the song
Looking for that hook
Next: Finger(s)

Instantly Gratified, People In Planes
When did it feel right?
How did you get so fool?
Repeating the best lines
On your way home from school
Ask yourself, does it matter to you?
Rainbow face, is all I can do
Measure me out, nothing fits
Too bad, don't need, to pay
All you want to say
Instantly gratified
You're a vicious monster, when you get together

Dreams of mourning grief
Dreams of disbelief
Dreams of tragedy
Dreams of our disease...to take us all away

But nobody cares
Nobody wants to listen

It's been so long since somebody whispered
Shut up and kiss me
