Come on, what's your song?
You know, when it comes on you may not make a big deal outta it, but you'll dance like a tool anyway. And it may have some sentimental signifigance too.

For me, "Get off my cloud" by the rolling stones.

Why? Besides having a sound, simple message about life... I once was on the west coast of Vancouver Island on a 110 schooner. This song came on the Stereo and the cook was dancing around to it. And the way he let his coffee cup guide his dance still amused me. That was it for me, the stones, the sea, and the wind.

Whenever I hear that tuen I think of it.

1. "Postcard"- Uncle Tupelo
Edited on Thu Nov-03-05 01:50 AM by enigmatic
The perfect mix of screaming hard-rock and weeping-in-your-beer country, all in the same song....

lost sight of ground
never been so down
nothing here to stand on

it's a war-weary road
another faceless tombstone
nothing here to stand on

I turn to face the wind
may never get out
forever caught in a spin
no better place to begin

can't find the phone, can't hear to listen
can't take along what we're missing
just as well to write this postcard from hell
and the bar clock says three a.m.
fallout shelter sign above the door
in other words, don't come here anymore

too many miles between
I heard a dead man scream
nothing here to stand on

each and every step
reeling out more or less
nothing here to stand on

I turn to face the wind
may never get out
forever caught in a spin
no better place to begin

I turn to face the wind
may never get out
forever caught in a spin
no better place to begin

tried to stay, tried to run
there's never been enough reason
to believe in anyone
this trickle-down theoryhas left all these pockets empty
and the bar clock says three a.m.
fallout shelter sign above the door
in other words, don't come here anymore....
