If I Needed You
The Hole

Schwer, sich bei ihm auf 10 Songs zu beschränken, aber momentan sind das meine Favoriten:

1. Waitin‘ Round to Die
„Now I’m out of prison, I got me a friend at last
He don’t drink or steal or cheat or lie
His name’s Codeine, he’s the nicest thing I’ve seen
Together we’re gonna wait around and die“

2. The Hole
„I’ve come too far and I can’t get back
I besieged all the gods of man
But all I heard were them laugh at me
And then silence once again“

3. Tecumseh Valley
„The name she gave was Caroline
The daughter of a miner
Her ways were free and it seemed to me
Sunshine walked beside her“

4. Marie
„She’s got some pain and she thinks it’s a baby
Says we gotta wait and see
In my heart I know it’s a little boy
Hope he don’t end up like me“

5. To Live’s to Fly
„Livin’s mostly wastin‘ time
And I waste my share of mine
But it never feels too good
So let’s don’t take too long“

6. Rake
„Well, I used to wake and run with the moon
I lived like a rakin‘ young man
I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds
My laughter the devil would frighten“

7. Flyin‘ Shoes
„The mountain moon
Forever sets too soon
Being alone
Is all the hills can do“

8. Mr. Mudd & Mr. Gold
„Here is what this story’s told
You feel like Mudd, you’ll end up Gold
You feel like lost, you’ll end up found
So amigos lay those raises down“

9. Kathleen
„Plain to see the sun won’t shine today
But I ain’t in the mood for sunshine anyway
Maybe I’ll go insane
I got to stop the pain
Maybe I’ll go down and see Kathleen“

10. Nothin‘
„Sorrow and solitude
These are the precious things
And the only words
That are worth rememberin'“
