    broken arrow is in the moment..
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    aside from the first three this list is flexible dependant on my mood.


    1. the needle and the damage done
    2. old man
    3. lotta love
    ohio
    stupid girl
    comes a time
    helpless
    danger bird
    already one
    only love can break your heart
    mr soul
    pardon my heart
    rockin in the free world
    downtown
    alabama
    don't let it bring you down
    scenery
    sleeps with angels
    motorcycle mama
    the loner
    nowadays clancy can't even sing
    i am a child
    scattered
    this town.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

  • mookie blaylock 10,

    It's funny, when you first posted this thread I stated to type my top 100 I made it to 70 something then I was retarded and accidentally closed the Internet Explorer (a lot of things going on at once). Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could send me a mp3 or wma of "Cocaine Eyes"

    Favorite Neil Young song of the moment...."Revolution Blues"
    "Fuckin' hippies!"

  • # 9, silly goose. :p

    thanks...didn't scroll down far enough to see your post eddie's grrl...:)
  • I got to bet
    that your old man
    Became fascinated
    with his own plan
    Turned you loose,
    your mama too
    There wasn't a thing
    that you could do.

    But I got faith in you,
    It's a razor love
    that cuts clean through.
    I got faith in you,
    It's a razor love
    that cuts clean through.

    You really make my day
    With the little things you say

    Looking through
    the window at a silhouette
    Trying to find something
    I can't find yet
    Imagination is my best friend
    Got to look out for
    the greedy hand, greedy hand
    Make a living like a rolling stone
    On the road
    there's no place like home
    Silhouettes on the window.

    Who was it made
    your eyes flicker like that
    Tell me baby,
    how'd you get the knack
    You came to me with open arms
    And I really
    took you down the track

    Now all I've got for you,
    Is the kind of love
    that cuts clean through.
    All I got for you is razor love
    It cuts clean through.

    You really make my day

    it's just that i was listening to it this morning... not trying to scold you... :p


    i like without rings, too:

    i'm waiting for a sign
    i'm standing on the road, my mind outstretched to you

    i'm letting something go
    like a dog I'm fetching this for you

    I have narrowed my songs down to 105 selections. I obviously need to trim off five more ...... then i need to put them in order. Quite a task ahead of me.

    I feel bad leaving off some good songs.

    There were four albums with 6 selections from them and one album (tonights the night) with 7. Oddly thought the album i consider to be my favorite was not one of those 5 albums. On the beach will have 4 or 5 representitives on the list. I think i just love the overall feel of that album.

    It's coming... it is just taking a while to get it together
