Songs About Escaping

A series of popular television commercials not so long ago included the tagline "Wanna Get Away?" And sometimes we do want to "escape," don't we? Far, far away from the troubles of everyday life. That's what these songs are about, for the most part. Four of them are actually songs about fire escapes, for whatever reason. Enjoy?  ~  JH
