Jefferson Airplane - Somebody to Love (as covered by the Ramones). The repeated chorus of “Don’t you want somebody to love”, the pace, and generally upbeat tune manage to mask some pretty depressing imagery. The Ramones play this one fairly straight, but I love hearing Joey’s distinctive accent on these well-worn lyrics.
When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joy within you dies
When the dawn’s rose may be dead yes
And your mind your mind is so full of red
Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
But in your head baby I’m afraid you don’t know where it is
Tears are running running down your breast
And your friends baby they treat you like a guest
