2. EXCUSE ME BUT WHERE IS NEIL PEART IN THIS POLL?

3. The answer:

Peart, Corgan and Chuggo are all in a stratosphere above Canada.

By "stratosphere above Canada", I mean Greenland or Iceland or some cold ass desolate place like that.

"The Weight"

I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' about half past dead;
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said.

Take a load off Annie, take a load for free;
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.

I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide;
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side.
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown."
She said, "I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around."

Take a load off Annie, take a load for free;
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.

Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day.
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"

Take a load off Annie, take a load for free;
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, "I will fix your rags, if you'll take Jack, my dog."
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."

Take a load off Annie, take a load for free;
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.

Catch a Cannonball, now, t'take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time.
To get back to Miss Annie, you know she's the only one.
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.

Take a load off Annie, take a load for free;
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.

[Swede]

5. Not my favorite,but probably the most famous: Leonard Cohen.

[BillStein]

6. Joni Mitchell

Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as the Northern star." I said,
"Constantly in the darkness? Where's that at?"
****
I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours
She knew your life, she knew your devil and your deeds. She said
"Go ahead and stay with him if you can,
But be prepared to bleed."

Oh you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
I could drink a case of you
And still be on my feet.

9. Behold:

There is an insecurity in the forest,
There is trouble of the wood,
Who think that applies with for the sake of many sunlight wants,
And him et. al you ignore.

Applying with trouble,
(and they are convinced of the rather correct thing)
It means that they are high exactly,
excessively grasping on all lights.
But if the collective likes the method of being made,
it is not possible to help their feeling.
And they when apply with why it is happy with their shade,
whether it is not, think in doubt.

There is trouble in the forest,
and any creative things are escaped entirely,
Apply with " Way you shout; Pressure! "
And mapley one shakes their heads exactly.

(Appliance)

And therefore it was required
The equal right apply with to form combination.
"Oaked-ones exactly excessively is avaricious;
As for us in those in us light."
It makes give;
This time there is no pressure of leafy things above this,
because those approved noble law,
and as for the wood with the hatchet
which is the same
which is raised entirely, as for the ax, seeing.
