Okay, I only have a couple… “Here I Am” - Lyle Lovett. “Hello…I’m the guy who sits next to you and reads the paper over your shoulder in the morning. Wait - don’t turn the page - I’m not finished. Life is so uncertain…” \ “The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys” - Traffic. Long slow build-up. VERY nice. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Coldfire \* > \*\*dpr just made me think of another one: > > Men at Work - The Land Down Under 😃 \*\* Just when I was about to go compliment you on your taste for mentioning Queen, you go and have a dig Coldie… _sigh_😉 The song Heartache all over the world always reminds me of Amsterdam (chorus: Girls, girls, girls…) 😃 But being serious for a second (why not?) Down Under IS indeed another song with a cool intro. Particularly when you’re an Aussie wandering the world (yes I KNOW there aren’t many of us doing that). Invokes such memories. But back home it’s just another song… Another song for the list: Run To Paradise by the Choirboys though I’m not sure how much exposure it recieved overseas. ---
