Happy birthday this 22nd November to ...

... the lovely Maggie, aka magnetic_pole! :D

Lyrics: The last one was the Kenny Rogers classic The Gambler from 1978, spotted by the_jackalope, magnetic_pole, lucie_p, ozma_katiebell, and lupinslittlesis.

So, while looking for something a bit more up to date, I came across this one which I'd meant to use before:

Tell me did you sail across the sun?
Did you make it to the Milky Way, to see the lights all faded?
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there? (2000s)

Well, all right, not totally up to date, but this millennium at least. :)

Happy birthday for 23rd November to ...

prelud!

Lyrics: And the last one was Train's Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me) from 2001, which seems to be popular on both sides of the Atlantic. golden_d, lareinenoire, and virginia_bell all identified it.

I see, looking back, that I haven't yet included a song by this artist. This should clearly be remedied:

Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good,
They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home.
Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned (1960s)
