the last 2 songs on Running on Empty (The Load Out & Stay) from Jackson Browne close it out pretty well.

Have mentioned some of these before I guess but here's a more complete list of my fave closers - every album these songs are from is a five star album, imo...

'Summer In The City' - The Lovin' Spoonful (1966)

'Deliverance' - Space (1977)
I've come to deliver you

'Ever Fallen In Love' - Fine Young Cannibals (198x) - arguably the greatest cover version of all time... FYC take a Buzzcocks song and completely flip it on its head to create one of the best ever synthpop / electropop tracks

'Cast Stone' - Straitjacket Fits (1990)

'Amelia Earhart' - The Inbreds (1994)
She sailed away to a place where clouds can't get her
I know she's safe because she's an excellent navigator

Faith No More - 'Just A Man' (1995)

LiR - 'Room Blessing' (1995)
I say fly
Even if your wings
Can't carry much weight

Strangelove - 'The Sea of Black' (1996)

Puressence - 'India' (1996)
Hey everybody, here I am, I'm the only man who's ever had a problem in the whole world

Junkster - 'Waen' (1997)
I should have spent the night beside you
I should have kept you warm
I should have sheltered you
From all harm

Manic Street Moneylenders - 'Cardiff Afterlife' (2004)
I must give up on this
It makes no sense at all

The Immediate - 'Can't Stop Moving' (2006)
You will never find me
If I never stay still

Amon Amarth - 'Prediction of Warfare' (2006)
That night, I was haunted by dreams
An omen of what was to come

Cherry Ghost - 'Strays At The Ice Pond' (2010)

Morcheeba - 'Beat of the Drum' (2010)

Dying Embers - 'The Hollowness' (2013)
You walk the crowded streets
Your eyes following your feet
And those bright red shoes

Yeah, it's great but I've never seen it on the same level as the other two, they're just otherwordly.

However, I can completely understand your reasoning for "Where The Streets Have No Name", replace the previous quote with that track and that's my feelings.
