(2) I come from the land of the ice and snow
Where the midnight breeze and the hot winds blow....
Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin

Don't touch my bags if you please
Mr. customs man - And the sons of Pullman porters
And the sons of engineers
Ride their father's magic carpet made of steel - Mother rapers...
Father stabbers...
Father rapers!
(Edited to add...) Pop quiz for the youngsters: what does "key" mean in the context of #1?

All three are by Arlo Guthrie. The third is from Alice's Restaurant. "Keys", because I'm young and can answer this, refers to "Kilo's" of weed.

It's just amazing that someone barely out of their teens would know that underground terminology from way back when, Wuzzie! You must have been reading your history books!
Got author and 3d song right. Two to go, folks, and Wuzzie has done half of it for you.

OK, I can't resist Woody's kid:
#1: Comin' Into Los Angeles
#2: City of New Orleans
How about: Santa Claus wears a red suit, he's a Communist- and a beard and a big (?) hat, must be a pacifist....

Boy oh boy, is no one gonna try even one of the five I listed yesterday? I didn't think they were that hard!
So here they are again. Surely somebody knows at least one of these?
1. While the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it seems,
It would be easier sometimes to change the past.2. I am the midnight watchman down at Miller's Tool and Die; I watch the metal rusting, I watch the time go by.
3. Standing beside you, midwinter's day, hearts beating close together; Wishing that we'd find some way to make this moment last forever.
4. Known him all my life, and his wife, 'neath the swaying pine, and the clinging vine.
5. The bricks lay on Grand Street, where the neon madmen climb...

Yup, you got it! It was John Lennons song.
Neon, on your #3, it sounds familar. Could you give me one more line? Please?

OK Lilacs, here you go...
3. Standing beside you, midwinter's day, hearts beating close together; Wishing that we'd find some way to make this moment last forever.
Standing silent, laughing, breathing steam, looking down into a freezing stream, I saw the face of a child...
