Adam Duritz (Counting Crows) Round Here "Round here we're carving out our names Round here we all look the same Round here we talk just like lions But we sacrifice like lambs Round here she's slipping through my hands Sleeping children better run like the wind out of the lightning dream Mama's little baby better get herself in out of the lightning She says It's only in my head She says Shhh I know it's only in my head But the girl in car in the parking lot says "Man you should try to take a shot can't you see my walls are crumbling?" Then she looks up at the building and says she's thinking of jumping She says she's tired of life she must be tired of something Round here she's always on my mind Round here hey man got lots of time Round here we're never sent to bed early And nobody makes us wait Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late" Mr Jones "I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this yellow-haired girl Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with this black-haired flamenco dancer She dances while his father plays guitar She's suddenly beautiful We all want something beautiful I wish I was beautiful So come dance this silence down through the morning Cut Maria! Show me some of them Spanish dances Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones Believe in me Help me believe in anything Because I want to be someone who believes"

Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) Black "Hard and twisted thoughts are spinning, round my head...I'm spinning... How quick the sun can drop away... And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass Of what was everything? The pictures have all been washed in black Tattooed everything. All the love gone bad turned my world to black Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be... I know some day you'll have a beautiful life I know you'll be a star In somebody else's sky Why, why, WHY, can't it be, can't it be mine...? Do do do-do do do do..." Off He Goes "I wonder 'bout his insides It's like his thoughts are too big for his size"

Eric Clapton (Derek and The Dominos, etc) Layla "Let's make the best of this situation Before I finally go insane." The piano part at the end was by the drummer and was originally recorded as a separate project. However, they decided to put it at the end of Layla. Another little known fact- the drummer who wrote the piano part later went crazy, claiming he heard voices in his head, especially the voice of his mother... later, he actually killed her with a tack hammer. He later died in jail. Tears in Heaven "Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees. Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please"

Brandon Boyd (Incubus) Pardon Me "So pardon me while I burst into flames. I've had enough of the world and it's people's mindless games. So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame. Pardon me, pardon me....I'll never be the same." Talk Shows On Mute You're so much more Endearing with the sound turned off.

Chris Cornell (Audioslave) Show Me How To Live "Nail in my hand, from my creator, you gave me life now show me how to live"

Neil Young My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue) "It's better to burn out than to fade away. When you're out of the blue and into the black."

Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) Wish You Were Here "So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cold breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears, wish you were here." Shine On You Crazy Diamond "Well you wore out your welcome with random precision, rode on the steel breeze. Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!" Nobody Home "I've got a strong urge to fly"
