Man

(Read only, anymore; sorry.)
Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

I'm starting with the man in the mirror,
I'm asking him to change his ways,
And no message could've been any clearer,
If you wanna make the world a better place,
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change.

Play us a song, you're the Piano Man
Play us a song tonight
Cause we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling all right

And there's evil-doers to fight!

And I've had so many men before
In very many ways
He's just one more.

He'll never know

In the real-world life
To make this boy a man.

From the North Dakota plains.

Who has been thrown out on her own.

And everything he makes,
Is satisfying and delicious.
