Just got my merchandise package today including the greeting cards. Just wondering, I don't recognise some of the quotes inside the cards as being from Janis' songs, though they possibly are. Anyone help me out here? Here are the ones I don't recognise:

Somewhere out there
are millions just like me,
Homesick for Eden
Heartsick at the memory.

And if I was a potato
could I see you in the dark
underground where I'll be
if they light the final spark
I'm really nervous. (I know there's a song called nervous but I just don't recognise this imagery!)

They tell me people
sometimes forget
what it's like to be alone
but I know
that I'll remember
when you're gone.

Don't know about the potato one but the first one is from the longest Janis Ian song ever written, even longer than "Stars" it's "Searching for America"

And the last one is from Everything was beautiful (Unreleased 2).
