  2. Themes from “The Outsiders” • Forbidden love • Social exclusion • Friendship

  3. “Heartbreak Hotel”: Elvis Presley You make me so lonely baby,I get so lonely,I get so lonely I could die.Hey now, if your baby leaves you,and you got a tale to tell.Just take a walk down lonely streetto Heartbreak Hotel. • Well, since my baby left me,I found a new place to dwell.It's down at the end of lonely streetat Heartbreak Hotel.You make me so lonely baby,I get so lonely,I get so lonely I could die.And although it's always crowded,you still can find some room.Where broken hearted loversdo cry away their gloom.You make me so lonely baby,I get so lonely,I get so lonely I could die.Well, the Bell hop's tears keep flowin',and the desk clerk's dressed in black.Well they been so long on lonely streetThey ain't ever gonna look back.

  4. “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away”: The Beatles How can I even try I can never win Hearing them, seeing them In the state I'm in How could she say to me Love will find a way Gather round all you clowns Let me hear you say Hey you've got to hide your love away Hey you've got to hide your love away Here I stand head in hand Turn my face to the wall If she's gone I can't go on Feeling two-foot small Everywhere people stare Each and every day I can see them laugh at me And I hear them say Hey you've got to hide your love away Hey you've got to hide your love away

  5. “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”: Hank Williams • Hear that lonesome whippoorwillHe sounds too blue to flyThe midnight train is whining lowI'm so lonesome I could cryI've never seen a night so longWhen time goes crawling byThe moon just went behind the cloudsTo hide its face and cryDid you ever see a robin weepWhen leaves begin to die?Like me, he's lost the will to liveI'm so lonesome I could cryThe silence of a falling starLights up a purple skyAnd as I wonder where you areI'm so lonesome I could cry

  6. "My Generation“: The Who Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)And don't try to d-dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)I'm not trying to cause a b-big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)This is my generationThis is my generation, babyPeople try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)Just because we g-g-get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)Yeah, I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)This is my generationThis is my generation, baby People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)This is my generationThis is my generation, babyWhy don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)And don't try to dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)I'm not trying to cause a big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)This is my generationThis is my generation, baby
