Tin Man

Oz never did give nothing to the tin man
That he didn't, didn't already have

"Tin Man"
Dewey Bunnell
Performed by America

Good to remember  :)

Chasing Cars

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life

"Chasing Cars"
Jonathan Quinn, Gary Lightbody, Nathan Connolly, Paul Wilson, Tom Simpson

Blue as You

Interstellar Rainbows
On a cosmic wheel
Rollin' where the wind blows
Never standin' still

"Blue as You"
Shawn Mullins

This one is just sitting in my mind these days.  I like Shawn Mullins more all the time.

Useless Desires

Every day I take a bitter pill
     that gets me on my way
For the little aches and pains
     the ones I have from day to day
To help me think a little less
     about the things I miss
To help me not to wonder
     how I ended up like this

"Useless Desires"
Patty Griffin

'nuff said
(and i love the bass line)

Runaway Feeling

Tell me I'm the one you wanna play with
Tell me I'm the one you really need
Tell me I'm the one you're bound to stay with
When you're free to do what you please

"Runaway Feeling"
The Thorns

Everyone should be loved on Valentine's Day, - at least once in their life.

Mr. Tambourine Man

To dance beneath the diamond sky
With one hand waving free.

"Mr. Tambourine Man"
Bob Dylan

Here Comes The Sun

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right

"Here Comes The Sun"
George Harrison
 
Two back-to-back snow storms have had us all snowed in for over week.  As much as I love the snow, when I was sitting here this afternoon - feeling the warmth of the sun coming in the window beside me, all I could think of was this song.
 
Here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

If I Had a Boat

If I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

If I were Roy Rogers
I'd sure enough be single
I couldn't bring myself to marrying old Dale
It'd just be me and trigger
We'd go riding through them movies
Then we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

The mystery masked man was smart
He got himself a Tonto
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto he was smarter
And one day said kemo sabe
Kiss my ass I bought a boat
I'm going out to sea

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

And if I were like lightning
I wouldn't need no sneakers
I'd come and go wherever I would please
And I'd scare 'em by the shade tree
And I'd scare 'em by the light pole
But I would not scare my pony
On my boat out on the sea

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

"If I Had a Boat"
Lyle Lovett

No special meaning here.  This is just a song that makes me smile every time I hear it. 

Except for the verse about Tonto, I think it would make a GREAT children's book!! BUT having said that... I do love that verse!
