Hey Eire!  This is a good question.  Thanks for posting it.

If you can post or PM me a list of 10 or so Suzanne Vega songs, we can set up a poll where people can vote, or choose Other and specify a different selection.  I know I like Suzanne Vega, but I'm not familiar enough with her work to do it myself.

Thanks!
Lynne

Mine are The Queen & The Soldier and Penitent.

You can suggest other songs as well.

Luka Lyrics
by Suzanne Vega

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble. some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud
They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore

Yes I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
Well, if you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway
I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am


Beautiful Haunting Song.

Actually this is the only one of her songs that I am familiar with.
Time to check out the lady.

I had to vote for "other" Michela, because I have never heard of Suzanne Vega before! <blush>

But now I feel compelled to look up some of her music!  :D

Luka, because my nephew's name is Luca, so I have to think of him, even if the lyrics do not remind me of him!

Wow, I missed this poll til now.  Of the choices, I picked Tom's Diner and Small Blue Thing.  But there are others.
