Great Leaving Songs

Television- "Marquee Moon"
To get from the choir room where I work to my front porch takes all of "Marquee Moon" and about three and a half minutes of "Elevation." The guitars go well with "thank god I'm going home, but oh shit I've got so much else to do today." It's all tension, except maybe on the solos.

Orange Juice- "Three Cheers For Our Side"
The faster, swingy parts soundtrack the manic ride to an appointment you're late to, and the slower sections are like your friends drinking tea, and checking their watches.

Steely Dan- "Bodhisattva"
Duh.
