“Roll Away The Stone” by Mott The Hoople
Baby if you just say you still care
Follow you most anywhere
Roll away the stone, roll away the stone.
“Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)” by The Arcade Fire
And if the snow buries my,
my neighborhood.
And if my parents are crying

and forget all we used to know,
then our skin gets thicker
from living out in the snow.

You can fake it for a while,
bite your tongue and smile,
like every mother does an ugly child.
But it starts to leaking out,
like spittle from a cloud,
amassed resentment
pelting ounce and pound.

“Such Great Heights” Performed by Indie Supergroup Postal Service (and, of course, Iron and Wine, and Ben Folds)
