New Speedway Boogie by Robert Hunter
Who can deny? Who can deny?
It's not just a change in style
One step done and another begun
And I wonder how many miles?
I spent a little time on the mountain
Spent a little time on the hill
Things went down, we don't understand
But I think in time we will
Now, I don't know but I was told
In the heat of the sun a man died of cold
Keep on coming or stand and wait
With the sun so dark and the hour so late
You can't overlook the lack, Jack
Of any other highway to ride
It's got no signs or dividing lines
And very few rules to guide
I spent a little time on the mountain
I spent a little time on the hill
I saw things getting out of hand
I guess they always will

Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want by The Smiths
Haven't had a dream in a long time
See, the life I've had
Can make a good man bad
So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows, it would be the first time
Lord knows, it would be the first time

You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go by Bob Dylan
I'll look for you in old Honolulu
San Francisco or Ashtabula
You're gonna have to leave me now, I know
But I'll see you in the sky above
In the tall grass, in the ones I love
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

Ketamine for Breakfast by Kate Tempest
I saw some things when I was young
That made me who I would become
I feel them with me everyday
'Cause if you try and run away
They run beside you place for place
Trip you up and drag your face
Freedom out of every waste
They chancing every bit of taste
Heart is sprayed up with the names
Of all my friends who lost their way
Doesn't change it all remains
It takes my strength and gives me shame
All I want is someone great
To make me everything I ain't
But the only ones for me
Are the ones that shouldn't be
Even though I'm doing good
I'm working hard, my work is strong
Might be fun just for a while
To go back to where my hurt is from
Rinse myself through emptiness
And push my body close to
Anybody who can recognize the presence of my ghost

Heroin by Lou Reed
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
On a sailor's suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man cannot be free
Of all of the evils of this town
And of himself, and those around
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know

Subterranean Homesick Alien by Radiohead
I wish they'd swoop down in a country lane
Late at night while I'm driving
Take me on board their beautiful ship
Show me the world as I'd love to see it
I'd tell all my friends
But they'd never believe me
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely
I'd show them the stars
And the meaning of life
They'd shut me away
But I'd be all right
All right
I'm just uptight

Scarlet Begonias by Robert Hunter
Well, I ain't always right, but I've never been wrong
Seldom turns out the way it does in a song
Once in a while, you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right

Scarlet Begonias by Robert Hunter
Well, there ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves
Scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues
And there's nothing wrong with the look that's in her eyes
Had to learn the hard way to let her pass by, let her pass by

Your typical city involved in a typical daydream

Big River by Johnny Cash
I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl that Southern drawl
Then I heard my dream went back downstream, cavorting in Davenport
And I followed you, Big River, when you called

Another in a long list of articles that was worth the annual subscription price to the magazine. Loved it.

Don’t Dream It’s Over by Crowded House
There's a battle ahead
Many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're travelling with me

Time Loves a Hero by Little Feat
The beauty of the sunrise and sunset
To his friends he wish he could tell
They're at home still running from bells
Better San Juan than that blue collar hell

A Simple Twist of Fate by Bob Dylan with alternate lyrics by Jeff Tweedy
He hears the ticking of the clocks
And walks along through the city blocks
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in
Maybe she'll see him once again
Oh, how long must he wait?
One more time for a simple twist of fate
People tell me that it's a crime
To feel too much at any one time
She should have caught me in my prime, she would have stayed with me
Instead of goin' off to sea and leavin' me, to meditate
Upon that simple twist of fate
