Help in the creation of the greatest leaving CD..... ever!

flogen

I'm trying to put together a CD of songs to do with leaving (like a place or something) and I need some input on it. All types of music are welcome but the less offensive or crude the better... so far all I can think of is Leaving on a Jetplane and New York, New York (just the opening lines really!)

anyone got any ideas?

thanks,
flogen

REM - Leaving New York

Les Miserables - Bring him home - I know that this is not strictly about leaving but it evokes the same strong sentiments

Will Young - Leave right now

The Pogues - Sally Maclennane - a lot of the songs from of Rum, $odemy and the Lash are in a simlar tone/vein

The Beatles - Shes leaving home

Doh - saw latest post - these are not cheesy...

Sarky

Lynyrd Skynyrd- Tuesday's Gone.

I've only listened to the Metallica version on Garage Inc., but it was very appropriate.

And perhaps Pink Flloyd- Wish You Were Here?

Ah I don't think Jimi Hendrix did that. A certain Lenny Kravitz did.

You're right, the only defence I can claim is the fact I'm burning up with a fever and couldn't ring in sick again for fear of getting fired (I was out for 4 days last month with tonsilitus and it's the same feckin' dose back to haunt me)...
