3. Name three songs that turn you on.

Watch Her Disappear, Tom Waits

Last night I dreamed that I was dreaming of you
And from a window across the lawn I watched you undress
Wearing your sunset of purple tightly woven around your hair
That rose in strangled ebony curls
Moving in a yellow bedroom light
The air is wet with sound
The faraway yelping of a wounded dog
And the ground is drinking a slow faucet leak
Your house is so soft and fading as it soaks the black summer heat
A light goes on and the door opens
And a yellow cat runs out on the stream of hall light and into the yard

A wooden cherry scent is faintly breathing the air
I hear your champagne laugh
You wear two lavender orchids
One in your hair and one on your hip
A string of yellow carnival lights comes on with the dusk
Circling the lake with a slowly dipping halo
And I hear a banjo tango

And you dance into the shadow of a black poplar tree
And I watched you as you disappeared
I watched you as you disappeared
I watched you as you disappeared
I watched you as you disappeared


4. Name four songs that always make you feel good.

Storms in Africa, Enya
Singapore, Tom Waits
Big Time, Peter Gabriel
The Happy Phantom, Tori Amos

5. Name five songs you couldn't ever do without.

Where the Streets have no Name, U2
Signal to Noise, Peter Gabriel
A Day in the Life, Beatles
Time, Tom Waits
Ghost Story, Sting
