Old, but really famous!
Do you know this band? They are "Eagles. They made debut as a country rock band that was formed in Los Angeles in America, 1971. They got worldwide popularity, and they are one of the top bands in America. This song is "Desperade". Actually, this video is old. On April 25-26, 1994, the reunited Eagles perform live at Warner Burbank Studios for an MTV special. But they are still active in the world.
To tell the truth, I didn't know this until recently, but Anthony Keidis from Red Hot Chili Peppers said this was the inspiration for the song "Under The Bridge." This is one of beautiful and touching songs, huh?. Definitely one of my favorites.
(118 words - except lyrics)
These are the lyrics of this song.
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
You've been out riding fences
For so long now
Oh you're a hard one
And I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasing you
Can hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
Another Queen of Hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can get
Desperado, you ain't getting no younger
You're pain and your hunger
They're driving you home
And freedom, oh freedom
Well, that's just some people talking
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losing all your highs and lows
And funny how the feeling goes away
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences
Open the day, it may be raining
But there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you
Before it's too late

Oops, I made a mistake in my previous comment, but there was no way to edit it. So I've copied, pasted, and corrected it here:
Hey chusong!
Thanks for excluding the lyrics from your word count.
Do you know how to make word counts align with the... [right] margin, to make them easy to spot at a glance? If not, please ask in class, and I'll show you.
