Haiku You

Tonight's show is probably the most esoteric and bohemian of the history of the show. What follows are haiku poems constructed of song titles with the artists listed respectively in parentheses.
Step Into the Light
We Call Them Pirates Out Here
I See a Darkness

(Archers of Loaf, Mark Mothersbaugh, Bonnie "Prince" Billy)

In This Home on Ice
You Don't Know (How Young You Are)
Till the Bitter End

(Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The 13th Floor Elevators, Magnetic Fields)

I'll Be Your Mirror
Stepping Into Tomorrow
In the Street, Today

(Lou Reed, Madlib, The Jam)

Houses in Motion
Beneath the Festering Moon
After the Ordeal

(Talking Heads, Guided by Voices, Genesis)

Before and Again
Pints of Guinness Makes You Strong
Drink To Me, Babe, Then

(Akron/Family, Against Me!, A.C. Newman)

Walking in the Rain
Overcome by Happiness
It's Been Worth the Wait

(The Ronettes, Pernice Brothers, Nate Ruth)

Lonesome Warrior
I Am the Light of This World
The Humans Are Dead

(Eric Bachman, Papa M, Flight of the Conchords)

O Valencia!
I Want the One I Can't Have
Six Different Ways

(The Decemberists, The Smiths, The Cure)

I Don't Wanna Die
In the Mouth of a Desert
Fuck This...I'm Leaving
