The Playlist
Don’t Stand So Close to Me – The Police
Three Little Birds – Bob Marley 
Stuck with U – Ariana Grande with Justin Beiber
Too Much Time on My Hands – Styx
“Well, I’m so tired of losing, I got nothing to do
And all day to do it
Well, I’d go out cruisin’, but I’ve no place to go
And all night to get there
Is it any wonder I’ve got too much time on my hands?
It’s ticking away with my sanity
I’ve got too much time on my hands
It’s hard to believe such a calamity
I’ve got too much time on my hands
And it’s ticking away, ticking away from me”
U Can’t Touch This – MC Hammer

“Wish we could turn back time to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep, but now we’re stressed out
(Oh) Wish we could turn back time (Oh) to the good old days (Oh)
When our momma sang us to sleep, but now we’re stressed out”
Stay With Me – Sam Smith
Behind the Mask – Fleetwood Mac

It’s these little things, they can pull you under

Was lost in our little lives
Oh, oh, but sweetness follows
Oh, oh, but sweetness follows”
