    Graham Nash/Barrel Of Pain

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBJKZJPCszE

    I can see the writing on the wall
    I can hear the axe before it falls
    I can really feel it through me

    I can see the sea begin to glow
    I can feel it leaking down below
    I can barely stand it
    What you're doing to me

    Chorus:
    And in the morning will
    Still feel the same?
    How you going to stop yourself
    From going insane
    With glowing children
    And a barrel of pain
    I don't want to hear it

    I can feel the heat begin to rise
    I can see the vapors in my eyes
    Anyway you look at this
    It's hard to take

    I can feel my skin begin to peel
    I can see the dollar and the deal
    I can see the companies
    That are on the make

    Chorus:
    And in the morning will
    Still feel the same?
    How you going to stop yourself
    From going insane
    With glowing children
    And a barrel of pain
    I don't want to hear it!
    No, no, no, no

    Peter Gabriel/Biko

    The song that closed the final date of the 1986 Amnesty International Conspiracy of Hope Tour

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLg-8Jxi5aE

    September '77
    Port Elizabeth weather fine
    It was business as usual
    In police room 619

    Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
    Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
    Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
    -The man is dead

    When I try to sleep at night
    I can only dream in red
    The outside world is black and white
    With only one colour dead

    Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
    Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
    Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
    -The man is dead

    You can blow out a candle
    But you can't blow out a fire
    Once the flames begin to catch
    The wind will blow it higher

    Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
    Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
    -The man is dead

    And the eyes of the world are
    watching now
    watching now

    Good stuff, Violia. (I never let my Meat Loaf)

    Meat Loaf/Paradise By The Dashboard Light

    A classic tune that changed many people's lives

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmPMMitJDYg

    Boy:
    I remember every little thing
    As if it happened only yesterday
    Parking by the lake
    And there was not another car in sight
    And I never had a girl
    Looking any better than you did
    And all the kids at school
    They were wishing they were me that night

    And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
    It never felt so good, it never felt so right
    And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
    C'mon! Hold on tight!
    C'mon! Hold on tight!

    Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
    I can see paradise by the dashboard light

    Girl:
    Ain't no doubt about it
    We were doubly blessed
    Cause we were barely seventeen
    And we were barely dressed

    Ain't no doubt about it
    Baby got to go and shout it
    Ain't no doubt about it
    We were doubly blessed

    Boy:
    Cause we were barely seventeen
    And we were barely dressed

    Baby doncha hear my heart
    You got it drowning out the radio
    I've been waiting so long
    For you to come along and have some fun

    And I gotta let ya know
    No you're never gonna regret it
    So open up your eyes I got a big surprise
    It'll feel all right
    Well I wanna make your motor run

    And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
    It never felt so good, it never felt so right
    And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
    C'mon! Hold on tight!
    C'mon! Hold on tight!

    Though it's cold and lonley in the deep dark night
    I can see paradise by the dashboard light
    Paradise by the dashboard light

    You got to do what you can
    And let Mother Nature do the rest
    Ain't no doubt about it
    We were doubly blessed
    Cause we were barely seventeen
    And we were barely--

    We're gonna go all the way tonight
    We're gonna go allt he way
    An tonight's the night...

    Radio Broadcast:
    Ok, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker
    going here, two down, nobody on, no score,
    bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up and
    there it is, a line shot up the middle, look
    at him go. This boy can really fly!
    He's rounding first and really turning it on
    now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna
    try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center,
    and here comes the throw, and what a throw!
    He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out!
    No, wait, safe--safe at second base, this kid really
    makes things happen out there.
    Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch--
    he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying
    for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt--
    safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base!
    He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost
    daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher
    glance over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted
    down the third base line, the suicide squeeze in on!
    Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close,
    here's the throw, there's the play at the plate,
    holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

    II. Let Me Sleep On It

    Girl:
    Stop right there!
    I gotta know right now!
    Before we go any further--!

    Do you love me?
    Will you love me forever?
    Do you need me?
    Will you never leave me?
    Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
    Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
    Do you love me!?
    Will you love me forever!?
    Do you need me!?
    Will you never leave me!?
    Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life!?
    Will you take me away and will you make me your wife!?
    I gotta know right now
    Before we go any further
    Do you love me!!!?
    Will you love me forever!!!?

    Boy:
    Let me sleep on it
    Baby, baby let me sleep on it
    Let me sleep on it
    And I'll give you my answer in the morning

    Let me sleep on it
    Baby, baby let me sleep on it
    Let me sleep on it
    And I'll give you my answer in the morning

    Let me sleep on it
    Baby, baby let me sleep on it

    And I'll give you my answer in the morning

    Will you love me forever?
    Do you need me?
    Will you never leave me?
    Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
    Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
    I gotta know right now!
    Before we go any further
    Do you love me?
    And will you love me forever?

    Boy:
    Let me sleep on it
    Baby, baby let me sleep on it
    Let me sleep on it
    And I'll give you my answer in the morning
    Let me sleep on it!!!

    Girl:
    Will you love me forever?

    Boy:
    Let me sleep on it!!!

    Girl:
    Will you love me forever!!!

    III. Praying for the End of Time

    Boy:
    I couldn't take it any longer
    Lord I was crazed
    And when the feeling came upon me
    Like a tidal wave
    I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
    That I would love you to the end of time
    I swore that I would love you to the end of time!

    So now I'm praying for the end of time
    To hurry up and arrive
    Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
    I don't think that I can really survive
    I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
    But God only knows what I can do right now
    I'm praying for the end of time
    It's all that I can do
    Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!

    Boy:
    It was long ago and it was far away
    and it was so much better than it is today

    Girl:
    It never felt so good
    It never felt so right
    And we were glowing like
    A metal on the edge of a knife

    Neil Young/Needle And The Damage Done

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gvb65dCMjZI

    I caught you knockin' at my cellar door
    I love you baby, can I have some more?
    Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

    I hit the city and I lost my band
    I watched the needle take another man
    Gone, gone, the damage done.

    I sing the song because I love the man
    I know that some of you won't understand
    Milk-blood to keep from running out.

    I've seen the needle and the damage done
    A little part of it in everyone
    But every junkie's like a settin' sun.

    John Denver/Rocky Mountain High

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12wMV31qtJk

    He was born in the summer of his 27th year,
    coming home to a place he'd never been before.
    He left yesterday behind him
    you might say he was born again,
    might say he found a key for every door.
    When he first came to the mountains
    His life was far away
    on the road and hanging by a song.
    But the strings already broken
    and he doesn't really care,
    it keeps changin' fast, and it don't last for long.
    It's a Colorado Rocky Mountain High,
    I've seen it raining fire in the sky
    The shadows from the starlight are softer than a lullabye.
    Rocky Mountain High, ...in Colorado....
    Rocky Mountain High.

    He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below,
    saw everything as far as you can see.
    And they say that he got crazy once and that he
    tried to touch the sun,
    and he lost a friend, but kept the memory.
    Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forest and the stream,
    seeking grace in every step he takes,
    his sight is turned inside himself, to try and
    understand, the serenity of a clear blue mountain lake.

    And the Colorado Rocky Mountain High,
    I've seen it raining fire in the sky
    You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply.
    Rocky Mountain High, ....in Colorado....
    Rocky Mountain High.

    Now his life is full of wonder,
    but his heart still knows some fear,
    of the simple things he can not comprehend.
    Why they try to tear the mountains down
    to bring in a couple more.
    More people, more scars upon the land.

    It's the Colorado Rocky Mountain High,
    I've seen it raining fire in the sky
    I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an Eagle fly
    Rocky mountain high
    It's the Colorado Rocky Mountain High,
    I've seen it raining fire in the sky.
    Friend around the camp fire and everybody's high....
    Rocky Mountain High, Rocky Mountain High,
    Rocky Mountain High,
    Rocky Mountain High.

    Years ago Meat used to perform 'Paradise" himself with his lead singer. Now he gets a couple of teenagers/20's to do it b/c he said he's gotten too old to do the guys part without looking like a child molester . ( he said this in St. Louis 99) It is fun to watch them perform this and yes, this is why so many of us got married in our teens, and are" praying for the end of time."

    Joni Mitchell/Big Yellow Taxi

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgMEPk6fvpg

    They paved paradise
    And put up a parking lot
    With a pink hotel, a boutique
    And a swinging hot spot
    Don't it always seem to go
    That you don't know what you've got
    Till it's gone
    They paved paradise
    And put up a parking lot

    They took all the trees
    Put 'em in a tree museum
    And they charged the people
    A dollar and a half just to see 'em
    Don't it always seem to go
    That you don't know what you've got
    Till it's gone
    They paved paradise
    And put up a parking lot

    Hey farmer farmer
    Put away the D.D.T. now
    Give me spots on my apples
    But leave me the birds and the bees
    Please!
    Don't it always seem to go
    That you don't know what you've got
    Till it's gone
    They paved paradise
    And put up a parking lot

    Late last night
    I heard my screen door slam
    And a big yellow taxi
    Took away my old man
    Don't it always seem to go
    That you don't know what you've got
    Till it's gone
    They paved paradise
    And put up a parking lot

    I said don't it always seem to go
    That you don't know what you've got
    Till it's gone
    They paved paradise
    And put up a parking lot

    They paved paradise
    And put up a parking lot

    Bob Dylan/Like A Rolling Stone

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk3mAX5xdxo

    Once upon a time you dressed so fine,
    Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you ?
    People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall,"
    You thought they were all a’kiddin' you.
    You used to laugh about
    Everybody that was hangin' out.
    Now you don't talk so loud,
    Now you don't seem so proud,
    About having to be scrounging your next meal.

    How does it feel ?
    How does it feel ?
    To be without a home ?
    Like a complete unknown ?
    Like a rolling stone ?

    Aw, you've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely,
    But you know you only used to get “juiced” in it.
    Nobody’s ever taught you how to live out on the street,
    And now you're gonna have to get used to it.
    You say you never compromise
    With a mystery tramp, but now you realize
    He's not selling any alibis
    As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
    And say, “Do you want to make a deal?

    How does it feel ?
    How does it feel ?
    To be on your own ?
    With no direction home ?
    A complete unknown ?
    Like a rolling stone ?

    Aw, you never turned around to see the frowns
    On the jugglers and the clowns
    When they all did tricks for you.
    You never understood that it ain't no good,
    You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you.
    You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat
    Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat.
    Ain't it hard when you discover that
    He really wasn't where it's at
    After he took from you everything he could steal ?

    How does it feel ?
    How does it feel ?
    To have ya’ on your own ?
    With no direction home ?
    Like a complete unknown ?
    Like a rolling stone ?

    Aw, princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
    They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they’ve got it made.
    Exchanging all precious gifts,
    But you'd better take your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe.
    You used to be so amused
    At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used.
    Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse.
    When you ain’t got nothing, you’ve got nothing to lose
    You're invisible now, you’ve got no secrets to conceal.

    How does it feel ?
    Aw, how does it feel ?
    To be on your own ?
    With no direction home ?
    Like a complete unknown ?
    Like a rolling stone ?
