** I see your "Fast Car" and raise you by "Behind the Wall."
** "Cold Feet": A poor boy grows up wishing for luck and praying that his life will turn around. He eventually falls in love and gets married, but his wife wants an expensive lifestyle, so he works himself to the bone trying to provide for her. In the end, he can't afford it on honest wages, so he joins some old high school friends in robbing a bank. [[spoiler: He gets shot and killed by police at the end of the song.]]

** Worse even than her big hits are some of her more obscure tracks, like the cheerful little ditty "Save Us All".
