Damn, you're right Jack - those are good... 'cept Refugee, which is track 9. Maybe if enough songs rack up, this will rank a double album?

Then there's Sting's Lagoon Over Bourbon Street.

Oh dear.

you have omitted the most obvious cut, "Louisiana, 1927" by Randy Newman"

What has happened down here is the winds have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
Rained real hard and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

The river rose all day
The river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood
Some people got away alright
The river have busted through clear down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangelne

10:56 / 16.09.05

what's that Modest Mouse song with the lyric:
All the people that you know, all the people that you know, all the people that you know, floatin' in the the river like logs....

"learn to swim" repeated multiple times.
"I'm praying for rain and I'm praying for tidal waves, I want to see the ground give way, I want to watch it all go down, mom please flush it all away, I want to see it go riding down, I want to watch it go right in, watch you flush it all away"
