“YOU WENT AWAY”originally by Christopher Walla

About the time the sky turns frompink to black, I calculate the length

of my day and ask for hours back.But the superheroes are bored with

all the things that I’ve made themsee and there’s nothing I can do to

keep them from stripping the timeaway from me (I filed it all wrong

on the form, you see).

The sky above your car is thedarkest thing. And I’m gonna goinside and wait for the phone to

ring, cause you went away.

“I WOU LD AWAKEN AT FOU RIN THE M ORNI NG, FOR THE

PEACE AND SU RREA LSI LENCE THAT IS PRESENT AT

THAT HOUR, AND FI LL THEDA RK WITH THE SOU NDS OF

CHRI S WALLA PLAYI NGGU ITAR AN D SI NGING,

SOMET IMES EVENWHI SPERI NG. ”

“THESE FEW PRESIDENTS”originally by WHY?

At your house the smell of our stillliving human bodies and oven gas,

you pray to nothing out loud, twofirst names and an ampersand

embroidered proudly on a kitchentowel. You're a beautiful and

violent word with the skinny neck ofa Chinese bird in a fading ancient

painting, and if you're in heavenwaiting, you made it there fighting

the tightest kite string in a badstorm with lightning.

And now these few presidentsfrowning in my pocket can

persuade no god to let me let youtalk. Oh, these few presidents

frowning in my pocket canpersuade no god to let me

let you off.

Even though I haven't seen you inyears, yours is a funeral I'd fly to

from anywhere.

I thought I had a pebble in mysock; I pulled it off and shook out awasp. It stumbled out lost, andwithout a pause, unstung as I was,still I stomped it. I thought, there isno paved street worthy of yourperfect Scandinavian feet, whilemy crooked Chinese fingersgroped the machineryof your throat.

And now these few presidentsfrowning in my pocket canpersuade no god to let me let youtalk. Oh, these few presidentsdrowning in my pocket canpersuade no god to let melet you off.

Even though I haven't seen you inyears, yours is a funeral I'd fly tofrom anywhere.

“IT WAS ON THE PLAN E RIDETO THE EAST COAST THAT ICAM E TO THE REAL I ZAT ION

“THE BOOK OF LOVE”originally by The Magnetic Fieldscovered by Peter Gabriel

The book of love is long and boring.No one can lift the damn thing.

It's full of charts and facts andfigures, and instructions for

dancing.But I, I love it when you read to me.

And you, you can read meanything.

The book of love has music in it.In fact, that's where music comes

from. Some of it’s justtranscendental, some of it’s just

really dumb.But I, I love it when you sing to me,

and you, you can sing meanything.

The book of love is long and boringand written very long ago.It's full of flowers and heart-shapedboxes.And things we're all too young toknow.But I, I love it when you give methings.And you, you ought to give mewedding rings.

And I, I love it when you give methings. And you, you ought to giveme wedding rings.

“THIS COVER HAS SEEN MELEAVE HOME FOR THE FIRST TIME

FOR COLLEGE, HAS SEEN MELOSE MY DOG TO CANCER, HAS

SEEN ME HAVE SOME OF THEBEST TIMES OF MY LIFE AND

SOME OF THE MOST DIFFICULT.”
