6. Old (live version)
7. Hurricane Eye
8. How Can You LITNE?

10. Once Upon A Time...
11. Sure Don´t Feel Like Love
12. Everything About It Is A Love Song
13. Father Daughter
14. Waiting For Christmas Day

Pretty rockin´ record

Great album! Agree with almost everything except that Wartime Prayers is my favourite song on Surprise{imo Paul´s best album}. I Love the live version of it too.

Thelma is from ROTS though. To keep up with the album continuity, replace it with Wartime Prayers.

I never knew if Thelma was actually finished during the ROTS sessions, since the lyrics seem to refer to Edie Brickell.

One of the songs Paul wrote for Harper´s record might fit.

Seniorita With A Necklace is a good song.

I agree with you Brenda, Wartime Prayers is a great song and I enjoy the CD version for the appearance of the The Jessy Dixon Singers (I always wished Paul would tour again with them - great years 73-80), and I also like the stripped down live version as on the live radio concert broadcast from Tower Theatre Philadelphia Nov 2006.

However, my favourite from Surprise is Another Galaxy.

I also want to make a list. I am not sure about the order at the moment, will just type the track names.

Hurrican Eye
The Vampires
Sunday afternoon
Seniorita with a necklace of tears ( most underrated song IMO)
Old
The Teacher (live)
How can you live in the NE
Everything about it is a lovesong
Sure don´t feel like Love
Thats me
Another Galaxy
Wartime prayers
Ten years
Trailways Bus
My Bonus (Fast car)




Not sure about Question for the angles and how it will sound like now, but I guess it could be on this CD then - at the moment it sounds to much like a ´early take´..unsurpassed master or whatever.

Fast Car - yes, very nice track, Love that one. That´s Me was, I thought, the filler on Suprise (and then it was a single???)
