Garageland (by The Clash)

Lawyers, Guns, and Money (by Warren Zevon)

Yer So Bad (by Tom Petty)

Chorus:
How could you walk away from me?
Now I know our times were rough, trust me
But how could you walk away from me?
But I've gotta believe there is more to this story

You lived just down the hall
it was easy I recall
You picked me up when I was low
lit me up, made me glow

Chorus

You had suspicions all the time
Didn't help to keep you mine
That one night when I was late
A million times you made me wait

Chorus

Let's go back, when we were young
When this relationship was sprung
Let me hold you in my hands
You can make me a better man

Chorus 

How Could You Walk Away From Me?

Written and recorded by The Crickets in 1966, later re-recorded by a number of bands, my favorite being The Clash in 1978.

I Fought The Law (by The Crickets)

Just can't let go of this thought
You and me hand in hand a long time ago
We had our time, then fought
Never thought I'd see you after what was said
And now I see ...

You could be the sunshine, I'm the rain
Loneliness will never be again
In your heart

A golden sky, quiet trees
I rest you in my arms, take me away darling please
I saved you then, you'll save me now
Keep me off that darkened path, to you I take a bow
And that's why I say ...

You could be the sunshine, I'm the rain
Loneliness will never be again
In your heart

I feel so free, so alive
Every time I touch your face my heart beats twice
I reckon we're on this ride
Sun shines, wind blows, we'll never say goodbye
That's why I say ...

You could be the sunshine, I'm the rain
Loneliness will never be again
Our growing love will take away the pain
In your heart ...

In Your Heart

Hold Your Hands Out The Window

Free Fallin (by Tom Petty)

Small Crimes

I Was In The House When The House Burned Down (by Warren Zevon)

Chorus (2 times):
The comfort of the sun
is what I once was looking for
the shade of tree
where I lay, bye and bye 

We pushed up that jagged road a ways
left back that town that we'd set ablaze
all of the good times we've come to know
uncovering things that I wanted to show

Endless deliberations
that quiet my dreams
all of the good times
aren't as good as they seem

chorus

The mixed up feelings we sometimes have
can't be explained in the palm of your hand
an endless blue sky turning grey
the feeling of you that won't go away

Quietly centered
absorbed from within
scattered and focused
a place that I've been

chorus

The path that we choose, tortured and fraught
The ease of my mind as I gather my thoughts
forget the troubles, the worries you keep
life is not something you pay on the cheap

Come gather with me
don't play it alone
I promise we'll make it
I promise we'll make it

Chorus

The Comfort Of The Sun

Fourth and Green

Is it 900 days?
I've stopped counting
my eyes are turning dry
I've stopped crying
I've seen summer come
and winter go
and the night is shred by the artillery glow

Chorus:
it's frightening, it's so frightening
to live in these 900 days, yeah these 900 days

In these 900 days
old men freezing
and life has gone away
from even the white nights
but we've held them cold
at the city gates
and I've been told just to wait

Chorus: 
just to wait a little bit longer
oh baby just hang on 

I've had 900 days 
of cardboard meals
900 days
without laughter
and the birds don't sing
with the breaking dawn
and the animals from the zoo are gone

Chorus: 
but they didn't run away
but baby they're gone

On this 900th day
in the steel rain
caught on a street corner
I lost my little boy
and I fell to him
couldn't grab him back
but I felt him spin away

Chorus: 
yeah to another place
anywhere but this place

I hear any day
they'll break through the Riga
and he'll be coming home
his name is Gregory
can he ever imagine
what it's like here
will I ever be able to stop his tears

Chorus: 
once he knows his son is gone
yeah, he's gone away ... in these 900 days


900 Days (lyrics by Gary Keenan)

Did you ever hear a song
That made you feel all wrong
Or feel like there was something you should do
Like pick up your guitar
And write about who you are
And breathe the air of soul into something new

Now they don’t deliver the mail on Sundays
Mister John taught us something, he brought us new ways
He wrote the simple things
That captured everything
Now he’s calling from heaven in better days

At the age of 24
He managed to score
What a lifetime someone else might spend to do
Singing songs about the old
The ravaged and cold
And funny ones about people like me and you

Now they don’t deliver the mail on Sundays
Mister John taught us something, he brought us new ways
He wrote the simple things
That captured everything
Now he’s calling from heaven in better days

In the end he’d fallen ill
Like the thousands it would kill
It took from us a heavy hand in pen
A Maywood boy at heart
Delivering mail was his start
And it seems to me we have not seen the end
And it seems to me we have not seen the end
Oh trust me Lord, we have not seen the end
