Don’t be deceived, no land in sight
We’re all adrift in this dark night
We float on seas of disbelief
While singing songs of pain relief
Shake my body, release my soul
Punish my senses, lose control
(James)
(Did I do this one already? too bad.)

Can’t be helped. There will always be songs that deserve a replay.
When I was a young boy
I wanted to sail around the world
That’s the life for me
Living on the sea
Spirit of a sailor
Circumnavigates the globe
The lust of a pioneer
Will acknowledge no frontier
- Split Enz
We come on the Sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau Town we did roam
Drinkin’ all night
Got into a fight
Well I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone’s hard-earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving on our way back home
We’re on our way home

Sunday morning
Praise the dawning
I’ve got a restless feeling
By my side
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It’s just the wasted years
So close behind
Watch Out! The world’s behind you
There’s always someone behind you
Who will call
It’s nothing at all…
- Michael Stipe
It’s a Velvet Underground cover.
Just go back to the places where we used to go
And I’ll be there
Oh, how can I forget you
When there is always something there to remind me
- Burt Bacharach/Hal David
And everywhere I go
There’s always something to remind me
Of another place in time
Where love that traveled far had found me
(Röyksopp)
I looked for you and everywhere
There is a calm I haven’t come to yet
I spend half my life figuring what comes next
I telescoped in
I’ll finally win
I’ll finally win the prize
- R.E.M.
I want her everywhere
And if she’s beside me I know
I need never care
But to love her is to meet her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching their eyes and hoping I’m always there
Will be there
Here, there and everywhere
-The Beatles
Can you hear me calling out your name
You know that I’m falling and I don’t know what to say
Come along baby, you’d better make a start
You’d better make it soon before you break my heart
Oh, I want to be with you everywhere
(Christine McVie/Fleetwood Mac)
I hear your heart beating everywhere
When we’re apart I can hear you there
I hear your heart beating everywhere
Everywhere I go
- Jackson Browne
Heartbeat
Why do you miss
When my baby kisses me?
- Buddy Holly
There are scratches all around the coin slot
Like a heartbeat baby trying to wake up
But this machine can only swallow money
You can’t lay a patch by computer design
- R.E.M.
I get high on my attitude
Latitude 1973
Oh I’m in deep
My head’s on fire
With high esteem
Carry my dead bored “been there done that”
Anything
Oh, wake-up bomb
Oh wake-up bomb
Oh wake-up bomb
Oh wake up bomb
-R.E.M
I wake up and wait up
When anger’s in fashion
I wake up and wait up
It echoes through the mansions
I wake up and wait up
When April’s in May
I wake up and wait up
The answers are fatal
- Pearl Jam
Why do we never get an answer
When we’re knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war
Cause when we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution
That is burning in its greed
-Moody Blues

Someone’s knocking at the door
Someone’s ringing the bell
Someone’s knocking at the door
Someone’s ringing the bell
Do me a favor, open the door
And let 'em in

Who broke the window?
Who broke down the door?
Who tore the curtain?
And who was it for?
Who heals the wounds?
Who heals the scars?
Open the door, open the door
