Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles
one of my favourite Beatles' tracks - bleal view of elderly loveliness. Think of the line 'the face that she keeps in a jar by the door'
Johnny B Goode - Chuck Berry
backwoods boy lives the American Dream (country boy - not coloured boy as originally intended)
Levi Stubbs' Tears - Billy Bragg
Oh how good is this! Homage to the 4 Tops singer. A woman left abandoned by her husband after an accident - conga and flugelhorn used!
Blind Willie McTell - Bob Dylan
Me and Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin
That rascal Kris Kristofferson!
Zen chorus 'Nothing ain't worth nothing if it's free'
Common People - Pulp
'You will never understand, how it feels to live your life, with no meaning or control'
