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

  Girl:

  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 ?
