    Here are the four still unidentified from my prior post:

    2. Through all efforts you've been changing, getting a little bit better, no doubt
    The doctor bit was so far out
    Looking through crystal spectacles, I can see you've had your fun
    3. Ah, the lovers as they run through the night
    Leaving nothing for the others but to choose off and fight
    And tear at the world with all their might
    While the ships bearing their dreams sail out of sight
    4. Love, like the autumn sun
    Should be dying, but it's only just begun
    Like the twilight in the road up ahead
    We can't see just where we're goin'
    And all the secrets in the universe...
    6. My father was a fisherman, my mama was a fisherman's friend
    And I was born in the boredom and the chowder.
    And when I reached my prime, I left my home in the Maritimes,
    Headed down the turnpike to New England, sweet New England

    Got a nibble out of Plum on this one, let's see if I can joggle her memory...

    Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense
    Them telephone poles looked like a picket fence
    They said, "Slow down, I see spots,"
    The lines on the road just looked like dots.

    Took a corner, sideswiped a truck
    I crossed my fingers just for luck
    My fenders was clickin' the guardrail posts
    The guy beside me was white as a ghost

    Valis, is that a song? It sounds more like a one-act play. By Hemingway.

    COMF, you talkin about the song I posted or the Bugs Henderson? *L* I'm sure the Bugs is more your style... Will see if I can't get an mp3 up tomorrow for. Can send the Bugs anytime you want it.

    Another HINT: They also made a song for a Muppet Movie...
