Awesome :-)

What were the other songs' originals? Small music knowledge limits me
with those.

These things are horrible... (at least this one is :-P)

No taint

All I can say is that my life is far from plain
When I have any free time I just train
That's all I will do, I'll just fight, and channel too
And convince the others too
That I'm still sane. I'm still sane.

I just need some one to link with me
To cleanse the taint right off of saidin
You know I'd like to take Nynaeve away today
She'll come with me and Lan can do his trade.

And they don't understand why I Travelled all this way,
And I start to complain when I see Cadsuane
All I can do is kill some men who mean me harm
And rip their lives away so that I can escape

Escape... Escape... Escape...

Now that we're done, I guess saidin is pretty plain
Aridhol's a smoking wreck
But I'm still sane
No taint... No taint

(Blind Melon, No Rain... roughly)
