As always, play along at home:
1. "Faith has been broken, tears must be cried / Let's do some living after we die"
2. "I didn't know nobody / And then I saw you coming my way"
3. "That suit you're stuck in fits you to a tee / But you're waltzin' 'round a landmine if you think you're bluffin' me "
4. "Pack and get dressed / Before your father hears us"
5. "It's one of those days / When those great ideas they just seem to fall out on you"
6. "I would buy you a green dress / (But not a real green dress, that's cruel)"
7. "Candy asked me if she died / If I could go on"
8. "Leave the road and memorize / This life that passed before my eyes"
10. "Ain't it a shame / How a thought can catch the breeze and blow away"
OK, yes, the version of song No. 1 that I have on the iPod is by the Sundays. And, yes, that's partly because of the whole Angel/Buffy thing. And so, yes, I'm kind of a geek for all things Whedon. But just look at that lyric and tell me it wasn't written in the hopes that some day our heroine would dance to it at her prom with her undead boyfriend.
Anyway, since I couldn't find a video link for No. 3, here's Maria joining John Mellencamp at Farm Aid for "Pink Houses":
