"Johnsburg, Illinois" lyrics
"Johnsburg, Illinois"
(originally by Tom Waits)
She's my only true love
She's all that I think of
Look here in my wallet, that's her
She grew up on a farm there
There's a place on my arm
Where I've written her name next to mine
You see I just can't live without her
And I'm her only boy
And she grew up outside McHenry, in Johnsburg, Illinois

Emiliana Torrini - "Waterhole" Oh take every breath from me
Act without questioning
Do what you came her to do
And in the end
It won't mean much to you mm
Meet me at the waterhole
There's a shadow in the water
And if you flinch...
Tindersticks - "Nancy" Nancy, Nancy answer me
Your silence is worse than what you might say
Nancy, just a line and speed
I was feeling slow and lonely
When I was afraid, on my own, you reached around me
When I was afraid...
