The Random 10

1. Shower the People - James Taylor, Greatest Hits
You can run but you cannot hide. This is widely known. And what you plan to do with your foolish pride when you're all by yourself alone? Once you tell somebody the way that you feel you can feel it beginning to ease. I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel always getting the grease.

2. Lady Marmalade - LaBelle, Pure Funk
He met Marmalade down in Old New Orleans struttin' her stuff on the street. She said, "Hello. Hey Joe, you wanna give it a go?" Mmm hmmm.

3. Can't Let Go - Lucinda Williams, Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
He won't take me back when I come around. Says he's sorry then he puts me out. I got a big chain around my neck and I'm broken down like a train wreck. Well, it's over I know it, but I can't let go.

4. Still Fighting It - Ben Folds, Rockin' the Suburbs
It was pain, sunny days and rain. I knew you'd feel the same things. Everybody knows it hurts to grow up and everybody does. It's so weird to be back here. Let me tell you what. The years go on and we're still fighting it, we're still fighting it. And you're so much like me. I'm sorry.

5. Miller's Angels - Counting Crows, Recovering the Satellites
Miller's angels are hovering in between the earth and the sun in the shadow of God's unwavering love. I am a fortunate son. They come out of the blue sky. They come out of the blue. They come out of the blue sky. But you never know where they're gonna go.

6. Army - Ben Folds, Ben Folds Five
Well I thought about the army. Dad said, "Son, you're fuckin' high."

7. We Will Become Silhouettes - The Shins, Such Great Heights EP
I wanted to walk through the empty streets with something constant under my feet, but all the news reports recommended I stay indoors. Because the air outside will make our cells divide at an alarming rate 'til our shells simply cannot hold all our insides in. And that's when, (that's when), that's when we'll explode (and it won't be a pretty sight). And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go.

8. If I Were the Man You Wanted - Lyle Lovett, Lyle Lovett
And I have seen my share of long nights and I have told my share of lies. And I have run into the darkness when I saw the look in your eyes. But if the night it didn't lie in the darkness, then the daylight would be hard to find. And if the truth didn't turn to a weakness, I would have never have spoken my mind. And if the stars didn't shine on the water, then the sun it wouldn't burn on the sand. And if I were the man you wanted, I would not be the man that I am.

9. You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch - Aimee Mann, Another Drifter in the Snow
Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable mangled up in tangled-up knots. You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch. With a nauseous super-naus.You're a crooked jerky jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch.

10. Sea of Heartbreak - Johnny Cash, Unchained
The lights in the harbor don't shine for me. I'm like a lost ship adrift on the sea. Sea of heartbreak, lost love and loneliness, memories of your caress so divine how I wish you were mine again my dear. I'm on this sea of tears, sea of heartbreak.
