“But you know he'll always keep movin';
You know he's never gonna stop movin.
Cus he's rollin',
He's the rollin' stone.And when you wake up it's a new mornin'.
The sun is shinin' it's a new morning.
You're goin',
You're goin' home.”

“I hear the train a comin,
It's rollin' round the bend.
An' I ain't seen the sunshine'
Since I don't know when.
I'm stuck in Folsom prison,
And time keeps draggin' on.
But that train keeps a rollin'
On down to San Antone.”

Song lyrics, Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar (1957)

“Get up in the morning and you like your tea milky,
You fumble for your glasses coz without 'em you cant see,
It's funny how I come round your house and I'm 20
and I still have to wear all the presents you sent me.
I walk into your kitchen everything's got a label,
you done your Christmas shopping and we're only in April.
And you wont leave the house unless your wearing your thermals,
you're covered all in cat hair and you're stinking like Strepsils,
Your heading down the Bowls Club,
have another orange squash.
Balls are rollin rollin rollin.
You can't walk right coz things aren't what they were,
your ankles are swollen swollen swollen.”

Lily Allen (1985) English singer, songwriter, actress, and television presenter
