Friday Random Ten XLIII
(hope you’re lightyears away)
1. Any Side of Anywhere – Vigilantes of Love (Audible Sigh)
“Think I recognize the place but the furniture’s rearranged;
yeah we always stumble in here under a different name…”
2. Waiting for You to Come Around – Lost Dogs (Green Room Serenade, Part 1)
“Here’s my bright idea,
to write this note.
So count this as the first move;
forgive the lump that’s in my throat.”
3. On the Lie – Goo Goo Dolls (Ego, Art, Opinion and Commerce)
“He said that Jesus Christ was just like a cop,
you know, you never know when they’ll come.”
4. High and Dry – Radiohead (The Bends)
“You’d kill yourself for recognition; kill yourself to never ever stop.
You broke another mirror; you’re turning into something you are not.”
5. It’s a Hard Life – Nancy Griffith (World Cafe 10th Anniversary)
“At the dairyline in Chicago, a fat man in front of me:
He’s calling black people trash to his children,
but he’s the only trash here I see.”
6. Who You’d Be Today – Kenny Chesney (The Road and the Radio)
“It ain’t fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away”
7. Streets of Philadelphia – Marah (Point Breeze single)
“I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone;
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone.”
8. 5 Minutes – Garrison Starr (Somethin’ to Hold You Over)
“…but it feels like love, not some rigged-up holiday;
I believe in someone who can bring me down again.”
9. Imperia – Fountains of Wayne (Out-of-State Plates)
“The day you drew your final breath
and parted from the Earth
is carved into the stone that
bears your name and date of birth.”

“Pack your bags full of guns and ammunition;
Bills fall due for the industrial revolution.”
