Due to peer pressure, I will now be posting songs that I think relate to Nick.

Others should feel free to post too.

Knockin' on Heaven's Door - Bob Dylan

Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see

Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, eh yeah

Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, wow oh yeah

Crossroads - Robert Johnson

I went to the crossroad

fell down on my knees

I went to the crossroad

fell down on my knees

Asked the Lord above "Have mercy, now

save poor Bob, if you please

Mmmmm, standin' at the crossroad

I tried to flag a ride

Standin' at the crossroad

I tried to flag a ride

Didn't nobody seem to know me

everybody pass me by

Mmm, the sun goin' down, boy

dark gon' catch me here

oooo ooee eeee

boy, dark gon' catch me here

I haven't got no lovin' sweet woman that

love and feel my care

You can run, you can run

tell my friend-boy Willie Brown

You can run, you can run

tell my friend-boy Willie Brown

Lord, that I'm standin' at the crossroad, babe

I believe I'm sinkin' down

Every Time We Touch -
Cascada - Cole Rolland feat. Lauren Babic

'Cause every time we touch
I get this feeling,
And every time we kiss

I swear I can fly,
Can't you feel my heart beat fast
I want this to last
Need you by my side

'Cause every time we touch

I still hear your voice
When you sleep next to me
I still feel your touch
In my dreams
Forgive me my weakness
But I don't know why
Without you it's hard to survive

'Cause every time we touch
I get this feeling,
And every time we kiss
I swear I can fly,

Can't you feel my heart beat fast
I want this to last
Need you by my side
'Cause every time we touch
I feel the static,
And every time we kiss

I reach for the sky,
Can't you hear my heart beat slow
I can't let you go
Want you in my life
'Cause every time we touch
I get this feeling,
And every time we kiss
I swear I can fly,
Can't you feel my heart beat fast
I want this to last
Need you by my side
'Cause every time we touch
I get this feeling,

And every time we kiss
I swear I can fly,
Can't you feel my heart beat fast
I want this to last
Need you by my side
'Cause every time we touch
I feel the static,
And every time we kiss
I reach for the sky,
Can't you hear my heart beat slow
I can't let you go
Want you in my life

What are They Doing in Heaven Today - Washington Phillips

I'm thinking of friends whom I used to know,
Who lived and suffered in this world below
But they've gone off to heaven, but I want to know
What are they doing there now?

Oh, what are they doing in heaven today,
Where sin and sorrow are all done away?
Peace abounds like a river, they say.
But what are they doing there now?

There's some whose hearts
Were burdened with care
They paid for their moment with fighting and tears
But they clung to the cross trembling in fear
But what are they doing there now?

What are they doing in heaven today,
Where sin and sorrow are all done away?
Peace abounds like a river, they say.
What are they doing there now?

And there's some whose bodies were full of disease
Physicians and doctors couldn't give them much ease
But they suffered 'til death brought a final release
But what are they doing there now?

What are they doing in heaven today,
Where sin and sorrow are all done away?
Peace abounds like a river, they say.
What are they doing there now?

There's some who were poor and often despised
They looked up to heaven with tear-blinded eyes
While people were heedless and deaf to their cries
But what are they doing there now?

What are they doing in heaven today,
Where sin and sorrow are all done away?
Peace abounds like a river, they say.
What are they doing there now?

What are they doing in heaven today,
Where sin and sorrow are all done away?
Peace abounds like a river, they say.
What are they doing there now?

When I get Low, I get High - The Speakeasy Three

My fur got sold
oh lord ain't it cold
But I'm not gonna holler

'cause I still got a dollar
And when I get low
Oooo I get high

My man walked out
Now you know that ain't right
but he better watch out
If I meet him tonight
I said when I get low
Oooo I get high

All the bad luck in this town has found me
Nobody knows how trouble goes round and round me...

I'm all alone
With no-one to pet me
But the old rocking chair
Ain't never gonna get me
?Cause when I get low
Oooo I get high

My man's full up,
got his belly in a tangle
'cause I'm a slice of pie
he just can't handle
and when I get low
Oooo I get high

My pockets are empty
and my chips are down
but I ain't gonna holler,
No, I ain't gonna frown
?Cause when I get low
Oooo I get high

All the bad luck in this town has found me
Nobody knows how trouble goes round and round me...

Woah there was a ruckus last night
I ended up in jail
but I ain't got to worry -
my girls got my bail
?Cause when I get low
Oooo I get high

I'm all alone
With no-one to pet me
But the old rocking chair
Ain't never gonna get me
?Cause when I get low
Oooo I get high

Private Investigations - Dire Straits

It's a mystery to me
The game commences
For the usual fee
Plus expenses

Confidential information
It's in a diary
This is my investigation
It's not a public inquiry

I go checking out the reports
Digging up the dirt
You get to meet all sorts
In this line of work

Treachery and treason
There's always an excuse for it
And when I find the reason
I still can't get used to it

And what have you got at the end of the day?
What have you got to take away?
A bottle of whiskey and a new set of lies
Blinds on the window and a pain behind the eyes

Scarred for life
No compensation
Private investigations
