Too Many Names To Know

There are two songs that keep playing in my head, the first is a simple song, been around longer than i have, i think made famous by the Stattlers or Eric Heatherly. It goes something like this:

I've been hearin' you're concerned about my happiness
But all that thought you're giving me is conscience I guess
If I were walking in your shoes I wouldn't worry none
While you and your friends're worryin' bout me I'm having lots of fun.

Countin' flowers on the wall that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitare till dawn with a deck of fifty one
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now, don't tell me I've nothing to do, don't tell me I've nothing to do.

Last night I dressed in tails pretended I was on the town
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
So please don't give a thought to me I'm really doing fine
You can always find me here and having quite a time.

Countin' flowers on the wall that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitare till dawn with a deck of fifty one
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now, don't tell me I've nothing to do, don't tell me I've nothing to do.


the second isnt quite so sedentary, and its chorus goes something close to this:

Blood Stains in the Snow, too many names for us to know, all of us, in Bloody Ridge, Idaho.

I hope i dont forget it.

Its gonna be a long summer.
