Travel Tips

Here are some of my favorite songs that have great travel related wisdom to impart. If you know of some good lyrics from a song that I don't have here, e-mail me!

From cradles and sleepless nights,
you breathe in life forever,
and stare at the World from deep under eiderdown.
Although this World is a crazy ride,
you just take your seat and hold on tight.
So here's your life, we'll find our way, we're sailing blind,
but it's certain nothing's certain.
-from "The Life of Riley" by The Lightning Seeds

We could be kings, this planet is ours
With love on our side, and the keys to my car
Storm though the city - oh let's drive - hold tight
-from "We could be kings" by Gene

If travel is searching and home what's been found, I'm not stopping, I'm going hunting
- from "Hunter" by Bjork

on my way up north up on the ventura
i pulled back the hood and i was talking to you
and i knew then it would be a life long thing
but i didn't know that we
we could break a silver lining

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale with you
-from "A sorta fairytale" by Tori Amos

I want adventure in the in the great wide somewhere
I want it more than I can tell
and for once it might be grand to have someone understand,
I want so much more than they have planned.
-from "Beauty and the Beast" (Disney version)

Maybe I should drop you at your door
Leave tonight and vanish up the shore
anywhere but here
I've finally found that everyone loves to love you when you're far away
-from "At the Stars" by Better than Ezra

So I must leave, I have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
and win a fortune in a game,
my life will never be the same
-from "Money, Money, Money" by ABBA

And if you have five seconds to spare
Then I'll tell you the story of my life :
Sixteen, clumsy and shy I went to London and I
I booked myself in at the Y ... W.C.A.
I said : "I like it here - can I stay ? I like it here - can I stay?
And do you have a vacancy for a Back-scrubber ?"
-from "Half a Person" by The Smiths

My girl is just a retread, I lost her when hit the brake
Our love hit science fiction levels, now I'm bending cause I made a mistake
-from "Retread" by Embrace
Put your hands on the wheel
Let the golden age begin
Let the window down
Feel the moonlight on your skin
Let the desert wind
Cool your aching head
Let the weight of the world
Drift away instead
-from "Golden Age" by Beck
