(Good) Friday Random Ten
(subsistin’ on that same old bread)
1. Gas Hed Goes West – Live (Secret Samadhi)
“He’s a bonified man, a star amongst his clan,
and the only one that let me ride…”
2. Amnesia – Toad the Wet Sprocket (Coil)
“The final solution’s back in style—we are the ones letting it ride.
I never dreamed we were so blind—amnesia in comfort, so unkind.”
3. Top Falls Down – Tonic (Sugar)
“When you’re sleeping under water
breathing has no purpose”
4. Endgame – R.E.M. (Lost in Time)
“Fa la la la la la la la, la la la…” (or something like that?)
5. Rebecca Go Home – Lost Dogs (Gift Horse)
“Rebecca, go home,
though you may be scared.
Just close your eyes and let go…”
6. Everything is Good for You – Crowded House (Recurring Dream)
“…but if you come undone
it might just set you free.”
7. New Slang – The Shins (Garden State soundtrack)
“Turn me back into the pet that I was when we met.
I was happier then, with no mind-set.”
8. One – U2 (Achtung Baby)
“Love is a temple, Love the higher law;
You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl…”
9. I Will Never Be Normal (after this) – Bill Mallonee (Dear Life)
“…it could’ve been your eyes, but I suspect it was your kiss.
No, I will never be normal after this.”
10. Parachutes – Coldplay (Parachutes)
“Here I am and I’ll take my time.
Here I am and I’ll wait in line, always, always…”
