Route 66 by Depeche Mode

 Well, if you ever plan to motor west

Travel my way, take the highway, that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66

Well it winds from Chicago to L. A.
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66

Well it goes to St. Louis, down to Missouri
Oklahoma City looks oh, so pretty
You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Wynonna
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino

You get hip to this kind of trip
I'm gonna take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66

Well it goes to St. Louis, down to Missouri
Oklahoma City looks oh, so pretty
You

You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Wynonna
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino

You get hip to this kind of trip
I'm gonna take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66


IS ROUTE 66 STILL A CONTINUOUS ROAD? AND WHAT WOULD A BUCH OF DUDES FROM ENGLAND KNOW AOBUT IT?

Calling Out To Carol by Stan Ridgeway

 Calling out to carol

She could really twist the screws
What'cha doin' monday
And are you back on the booze?
Now, I've been dooin' some thinkin'
About colorado springs
A dirty denim jacket
And a seven-dollar ring
Well, I've been keepin' busy
I've got lots of pots boiling on the stove
Who's that in the background
I'm sorry that I asked guess I should have known
Callin' out to carol on the telephone call
Message on a wire comin' through a wall
Talk about old times but not too long ago
Carol was the girl that everybody got to know
When'd you change your number? hey, carol!
It's different than you had
Have you got protection?
I know some police are bad
But that's not why I called you up, now
You know I quit that scene
I told ya 'bout your pictures
I guess I'll buy that magazine
And I still remember
All those days we spent alone
You went one way while I went the other
Sometimes, I guess, that's the way things go
When they called me in the morning
And told me that she'd gone
I didn't want to hear it
So I just hung up the phone
Callin' out callin' out to carol
Callin' out callin' out to carol
Callin' out callin' out to carol
Callin' out to carol
Callin' out to carol on a telephone call
Message on a wire comin' through a wall
Is this line in service operator says no
But carol was a girl that everybody got to know
