 I and I

 He didn’t see her anywhere
 He told himself he didn’t care, pushed the window open wide
 Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
 Brought on by a simple twist of fate

 At seein’ the metal brace that helped him stand
 But as he turned to go, he called his mother close
 And he dropped his medals down into her hand

 And something inside of him died
 She had to sell everything she owned

 Have to quit your mess and straighten out

 Grandpa died last week
 And now he’s buried in the rocks
 But everybody still talks about
 How badly they were shocked

40 years ago this week, "Rock Me Amadeus" by #Falco reached the top spot, replacing "These Dreams" by #Heart after one week. Can you name his only other top 40 hit in the US? Don't say "Puttin' on the Ritz", that was Taco. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-H895vrIU8 #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo

 You can hear the school bell ring
 Gotta get up near the teacher if you can
 If you wanna learn anything
