    “If This Is It” by Huey Lewis and The News, 1984 (failed relationship).

    LYRICS:
    I've been phoning, night and morning
    I heard you say, "Tell him I'm not home."

    Now you're confessing, but I'm still guessing
    I've been your fool for so, so long

    Girl don't lie just to save my feelings
    Girl don't cry and tell me nothing's wrong

    Girl don't try to make up phony reasons
    I'd rather leave than never believe

    If this is it, please let me know
    If this ain't love, you’d better let me go

    If this is it, I want to know
    If this ain't love, baby, just say so

    You've been thinking that I've been drinking
    We both know that it's just not right

    Now you're pretending that it's not ending
    You'll say anything to avoid a fight

    Girl don't lie and tell me that you need me
    Girl don't cry and tell me nothing's wrong

    I'll be all right one way or another
    So let me go or make we want to stay

    If this is it, please let me know
    If this ain't love you’d, better let me go

    If this is it, I want to know
    If this ain't love, baby, just say so

    If this is it, please let me know
    If this ain't love, you’d better let me go

    If this is it, I want to know
    If this ain't love, baby, just say so

    If this is it, please let me know
    (I want to know)
    If this is it
    (If this is it)
    Please let me know
    (I‘ve got to know)

    If this is it
    (You better let me know)
    Please let me know
    (Just say so)
    If this is it, please let me know

    FAILURE
    Life will come our way,
    It has only just begun.
    The world will die alone
    The frail will fall below.
    Time will take our place.
    We return it back to one
    The calm before the cold,
    The long and lonely road.
    Look for the light that leads me home.
    Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
    Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
    Failure.
    Drive the cloud away,
    We will fall from last to none.
    The dark before the dawn,
    The war will carry on.
    Look for the light that leads me home.
    Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
    Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
    Tired of wasting breath, tired of nothing left.
    Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
    Failure.
    Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
    Tear the…

      “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” by Gordon Lightfoot, 1976.

    LYRICS:

    The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
    Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee
    The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
    When the skies of November turn gloomy
    With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
    Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty
    That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
    When the gales of November came early
    The ship was the pride of the American side
    Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
    As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
    With a crew and good captain well seasoned
    Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
    When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
    And later that night when the ship's bell rang
    Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?
    The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
    And a wave broke over the railing
    And every man knew, as the captain did too
    T'was the witch of November come stealin'
    The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
    When the gales of November came slashin'
    When afternoon came it was freezin' rain
    In the face of a hurricane west wind
    When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin'
    "Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya"
    At seven PM, a main hatchway caved in, he said
    "Fellas, it's been good to know ya"
    The captain wired in he had water comin' in
    And the good ship and crew was in peril
    And later that night when his lights went outta sight
    Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
    Does any one know where the love of God goes
    When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
    The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
    If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her
    They might have split up or they might have capsized
    They may have broke deep and took water
    And all that remains is the faces and the names
    Of the wives and the sons and the daughters
    Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
    In the rooms of her ice-water mansion
    Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams
    The islands and bays are for sportsmen
    And farther below Lake Ontario
    Takes in what Lake Erie can send her
    And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
    With the gales of November remembered
    In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed
    In the maritime sailors' cathedral
    The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times
    For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald
    The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
    Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee
    Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
    When the gales of November come early
