Five to One
"Five to One" is a song by The Doors, from their 1968 album Waiting for the Sun.
Origin
Part of the song ("Your ballroom days are over baby/Night is drawing near/Shadows of the evening/crawl across the years"), was seemingly lifted from the 19th-century hymnal and bedtime rhyme "Now the Day is Over" ("Now the day is over/Night is drawing nigh/Shadows of the evening/Steal across the sky") by Morrison. Similarly, Morrison quoted the "Christian child's prayer" in a live version of "Soul Kitchen" sung in 1969 and also altered the children's rhyme "Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jump over The candlestick" to suit part of his poem An American Prayer ("Words dissemble/Words be quick/Words resemble walking sticks"). Morrison was possibly referring to a Dylan Thomas story entitled The Fight in Thomas' Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog, where the central character reads from a poem called Warp ("[...] Five into one, the one made of five into one, early/Suns distorted too late.")

Strip Me
by: Suzi Quatro(ChapmanChinn)
You might have thought I acted strange when you gave me...
Diamonds . Rubies . Minks . And pearls
You might have thought I was insane when I turned down ...
Money, honey
I ain't that kind of girl
Your cadillac is filled with roses in the back
You got a feelin' I won't love you if I ever
Give 'em back
Some things you give me never see the light of day
So I'll thank you baby, thank you if you'd take them all away
So ...
STRIP ME!
Of all you gave me
STRIP ME!
Baby Baby Baby Baby
STRIP ME!
Yeah only you can save me
And I'll keep on loving you 'til the day I die
You introduce me to all your friends as the girl most likely to be ...
Wined and dined
I ain't amusing I refuse to be used like money, honey
I ain't that way inclined
My brand new window has view of the park
But what's the point of buying it if I can't see it in the dark
You made me realise why you invested in that car
But I'd rather have you stay at home and have you just the way are
STRIP ME!
Of all you gave me
STRIP ME!
Baby Baby Baby Baby
STRIP ME!
Yeah only you can save me
And I'll keep on loving you 'til the day I die
STRIP ME!

Yeah only you can save me
And I'll keep on loving you 'til the day I die
STRIP ME!
Of all you gave me

Yeah only you can save me
