Shawn Colvin
"Suicide Alley"
You know I wasn't born I was spat out at a wall
And nobody even knew my name
The sun hatched me out, cradle and all
On the corner of First and Insane
For the souls of the departed and the renegades of love
You and me we gotta be all we dreamed of
In the ruins of mischief through the ravages of time
You got a place in this world of mine
Paul Simon
"American Tune"
"Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping.
"I'm empty and aching and I don't know why."
Was(Not Was)
"I Feel Better Than James Brown"
When we were in love I pretended you didn't exist
That way I loved you more.
Tori Amos
"Rattlesnakes"
She says a girl needs a gun these days
hey on account of all the rattlesnakes.
