Miracle in the Hills, Chuck Brodsky

The Bug, performed by Mary Chapin Carpenter, you may know the Dire Straits original better.
8) Well there is no law and order at Honiara now, Maelunga up at Rove says the ship is going down/But the Walkers in the corner ain't here for playing cards, They say "Boy you'll be all right" ...
Blue Guitar, Iain Campbell Smith

Over Yonder (Jonathan's Song) - Steve Earle

Beautiful, Belle & Sebastian
17) I took a stroll on the old long walk of a day- i-ay-i-ay, I met a little girl and we stopped to talk /Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay/ And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do/' Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue ...

It's Hard to Be A Saint in the City, Bruce Springsteen
26) Born to the idols of circumstance you watch events unfold, pure as the broken dreams inside your bones (lyric CORRECTION) / Gentle as the kiss of Judas, child of beaten gold, But the laws of sundown say you've got to leave your father's home ...
Pilgrim, Pete and Maura Kennedy
28) I dreamed myself from the sultry plains to the old green square back in old Maybole, Rode the wind up to Stornoway, paused at the peak, pacified my soul / Caught the bus at the faery fort, made it to the mansion on the Boyne, See I come around to the ancient ways, I took a tip from the buddha boy ...
Glastonbury Song, Mike Scott and the Waterboys
33) Why do the days go by so fast, if only time was built to last / If only it could learn to take it slow, then maybe time at last would know ...
This Time, Los Lobos
35) Woke up this morning, put on my slippers, walked in the kitchen and died / And oh! what a feeling/when my soul went through the ceiling/ And on up into heaven I did ride ...
Please Don't Bury Me, cover by John Allan Cameron, you're likelier to know the original by John Prine
37) Dirty old street all slushed up in the rain and snow, Little boy and his ma shivering outside a rundown music store window /
That night on top of a Christmas tree shines one beautiful star, And lying underneath a brand-new Japanese guitar ...
The Gift, Bruce Springsteen
41) Summer came late this year, Seems sometimes it didn't wanna come at all / Another grey day can sure bring a tear, Morning hours can start to crawl ...
Summer Came, Jeb Loy Nichols

Memory of You, Richard Shindell
