trying to make a mix of these type songs.

examples would be like:
'Nightswimming'- REM
'America'- Simon and Garfunkel

any suggestions along those lines would be great, thanks much.

    In my Tree for me.

    I rememeber when...Swore I knew everything
    They're gonna tell you where to walk
    When to smile and just what to say
    They say have your own fun...

    The Replacements "Sixteen Blue"

    Drive yourself right up the wall
    No one hears and no one calls
    It's a boring state
    It's a useless wait, I know

    Brag about things you don't understand
    A girl and a woman, a boy and a man
    Everything is sexually vague
    Now you're wondering to yourself
    If you might be gay

    Your age is the hardest age
    Everything drags and drags
    One day, baby, maybe help you through
    Sixteen blue
    Sixteen blue

    Drive your ma to the bank
    Tell your pa you got a date
    You're lying, now you're lying on your back

    Try to figure out, they wonder what next you'll pull
    You don't understand anything sexual
    I don't understand
    Tell my friends I'm doing fine

    Your age is the hardest age
    Everything drags and drags
    You're looking funny
    You ain't laughing, are you?
    Sixteen blue
    Sixteen blue

    Yes and the other one he did with Kate Bush.

    In this proud life we grew up strong. We were hunted all along.
    I was taught to fight, taught to win, I never thought I could lose.

    I agree regarding Peter Gabriel... you could add other songs by him as well, for ex.: Secret World, Digging in the Dirt, Sky Blue, More Than This...
