Time it was
and what a time it was
A time of innocence
a time of confidences
Long ago it must be
I have a photograph
Preserve your memories
They're all that's left you

Oh Lord, yes. *sniffles* Thanks, jrossi4r. I remember as a kid behind completely fascinated by the double meaning of the last line. And matthewr-- Fitter Happier! Many people don't even count that as a song, and seem to consider it more of a problem within the flow of OK Computer, but I love it and always think of it as the heart of the album.

Yeah, I cheated slightly, especially with Another Brick in the Wall Pt.3, which is hardly a song in its own right.

And gotta give a nod to SOD, "Ballad of Jimi Hendrix." Try and spot the lyrics amidst all the junk on the page.

"The Letter" by The Box Tops might be short enough.

For quite a while I've been wanting to put together a list of songs to throw on a short songs mix disc (tentatively titled SHORT ATTENTION SPAN JUKEBOX).

White Stripes - Fell In Love With a Girl
Randy Newman - Political Science
Big Black - Power of Independent Trucking
Roger Miller - England Swings
the Bees - Voices Green and Purple
the High Numbers (pre Who) - Zoot Suit
Stiff Little Fingers - No Change
999 - Inside Out
Naked Raygun - Tojo
Dead Kennedys - Short Songs
Spoon - Wanted to Be Your
Foutains of Wayne - Survival Car
? and the Mysterians - Can't Get Enough of You Baby
Les Paul & Mary Ford - Johnny Is the Boy for Me
100 Flowers - Without Limbs
Small Faces - Become Like You
