a condensed version of In The Morning? an acoustic Boomtown would be even more poignant, too. or how about just a bunch of new ones...that might be best.
for a cover, how about Patty Griffin's Mad Mission? it's already acoustic but you would slaughter it to new heights. great, great song. lyrics below -
We were drinking like the Irish
we were drinking scotch
Bartender turned on a movie
Everybody turned to watch
And every single eye was gleaming
As he reached the final scene
Well, at least mine did
Here's lookin' at you, kid
It's a mad mission
Under difficult conditions
not everybody makes it
To the loving cup
It's a mad mission
But I got the ambition
Mad, mad mission
sign me up
I think I've seen the look before, yeah
it's kind of non-commital
It says come hither, baby, but then he's hard wood to whittle
he says it don't mean a thing, but still, somehow it does
He'd like you to join the club that likes to say
there's no such thing as love
It's a mad mission
Under difficult conditions
not everybody makes it
To the loving cup
It's a mad mission
But I got the ambition
Mad, mad mission
sign me up
Sometimes you find yourself
flying low at night
Flying blind and looking for
Any sign of light
You're cold and scared, and all alone
You'd do anything just to make it home
It's a mad mission
Under difficult conditions
not everybody makes it
To the loving cup
It's a mad mission
But I got the ambition
Mad, mad mission
sign me up
Sign me up
