    I'd have to say "Every Picture Tells a Story", by Rod Stewart. It makes me overjoyess everytime I hear it, it's just a feel good song and alot of what he has to say reminds me of myself at times, that and a dream life I wish I had...

    Spent some time feelin' inferior
    standing in front of my mirror
    Combed my hair in a thousand ways
    but I came out looking just the same

    Daddy said, "Son, you better see the world
    I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave
    But remember one thing don't lose your head
    to a woman that'll spend your bread"
    So I got out

    Paris was a place you could hide away
    if you felt you didn't fit in
    French police wouldn't give me no peace
    They claimed I was a nasty person
    Down along the Left Bank minding my own
    Was knocked down by a human stampede
    Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot
    when all I wanted was a cup of tea
    I was accused
    I moved on

    Down in Rome I wasn't getting enough
    of the things that keeps a young man alive
    My body stunk but I kept my funk
    at a time when I was right out of luck
    Getting desperate indeed I was
    Looking like a tourist attraction
    Oh my dear I better get out of here
    'for the Vatican don't give no sanction
    I wasn't ready for that, no no

    I moved right out east yeah!
    On the Peking ferry I was feeling merry
    sailing on my way back here
    I fell in love with a slit eyed lady
    by the light of an eastern moon
    Shangai Lil never used the pill
    She claimed that it just ain't natural
    She took me up on deck and bit my neck
    Oh people I was glad I found her
    Oh yeah I was glad I found her

    I firmly believe that I didn't need anyone but me
    I sincerely thought I was so complete
    Look how wrong you can be

    The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe
    They wouldn't give you the time of day
    But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet
    God I was glad I found her
    And if they had the words I could tell to you
    to help you on the way down the road
    I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats
    'cause it's all been said before
    Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off
    You didn't have to come here anyway
    So remember, every picture tells a story don't it

    Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix

    Now she's walking through the clouds
    With a circus mind
    That's running wild
    Butterflies and zebras
    And moonbeams and fairytales
    All she ever thinks about is riding with the wind

    When I'm sad she comes to me
    With a thousand smiles
    She gives to me free
    "It's alright, it's alright," she says
    "Take anything from me -
    Anything."

    Fly little wing...

    I want whoever organizes my celebration of life (by that I mean funeral) to play this as I descend into the earth.

    you beat me too it :)

    ok i take this one instead

    "Doth I Protest Too Much"

    I'm not threatened, by every pair of legs you watch go by
    I don't cringe when you stare at women, it's just a thing called guy
    I don't notice your side ways glances or where your loyalty lies
    I'm secure and out of me, it's hard to get a rise

    I'm not jealous
    I don't get moved my much
    I'm not enraged
    Not insecure as such
    Not going insane
    Rational stays in touch
    Doth I protest too much?

    I'm not tortured by how oft your busy, Cause I've got things to do
    I'm not disappointed about how you don't miss you me, cause I don't need you to

    I'm not needy
    I don't get clingy much
    I'm not scared
    I'm not afraid as such
    I'm not dependent
    Rock solid, stays in touch
    And Doth I protest too much?

    So much energy to prove to you
    Who I can't possibly be
    So much energy to prove to you
    I'm not who you hate for me to be

    I'm not saddened
    And I don't miss you
    Cause I have moved on too
    I'm not concerned about your new lover
    Cause I have a new lover too

    I'm not depressed
    I don't get down that much
    I'm not despondent
    I am not dark as such
    I'm never sad
    Keep Chin Up, Stays in touch
    And Doth I protest too much?

    I'm not jealous
    I don't get moved my much
    I'm not enraged
    Not insecure as such
    Not going insane
    Rational stays in touch
    And Doth I protest too much?

    The Running Kind - Merle Haggard

    I was born the running kind,
    leaving always on my mind,
    home was never home for me at anytime,
    every front door found me hopin'
    I would find the back door open,
    there just has to be an exit,
    for the running kind.

    Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call,
    Wanted to sail upon your waters
    since I was three feet tall.
    You've seen it all, you've seen it all.



    Watch the men who rode you,
    Switch from sails to steam.
    And in your belly you hold the treasure
    that few have ever seen, most of them dreams,
    Most of them dreams.


    Yes, I am a pirate two hundred years too late.
    The cannons don't thunder there's nothin' to plunder
    I'm an over forty victim of fate
    Arriving too late, arriving too late.


    I've done a bit of smugglin'
    I've run my share of grass.
    I made enough money to buy Miami,
    But I pissed it away so fast,
    Never meant to last, never meant to last.


    I have been drunk now for over two weeks,
    I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks,
    But I've got to stop wishin',
    Got to go fishin', I'm down to rock bottom again.
    Just a few friends, just a few friends.





    I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
    And though I ran 'em away, they'll come back one day.
    And still could manage a smile
    It just takes awhile, just takes awhile.

    Mother, mother ocean, after all these years I've found
    My occupational hazard being my occupations
    just not around.
    I feel like I've drowned,
    Gonna head uptown.

    Counting Crows- Round Here (acoustic version)

    Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog
    Where no one notices the contrast of white on white
    And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view
    Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
    I walk in the air between the rain through myself and back again
    Where? I don’t know
    Maria says she’s dying through the door I hear her crying
    Why? I don’t know

    Round here we always stand up straight
    Round here something radiates

    Maria came from nashville with a suitcase in her hand
    She said she’d like to meet a boy who looks like elvis
    She walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
    Just like she’s walking on a wire in the circus
    She parks her car outside of my house
    Takes her clothes off
    Says she’s close to understanding jesus
    She knows she’s more than just a little misunderstood
    She has trouble acting normal when she’s nervous

    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 on 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
    I can’t see nothing, nothing round here
    Catch me if I’m falling
