    The "music of the 70s and 80s" thread lasted quite a while, since folks seem to love identifying songs from obscure lyrics.

    Thus, we begin again, but with no restrictions on when the song came out...


    01)
    A bullet had found him, his blood ran as he cried
    No money could save him, so he laid down and he died
    Oooh, what a...

    02)
    T'was many years ago when I left home and came this way
    I was a young man full of hopes and dreams
    But now it seems to me that all is lost and nothing gained
    Sometimes things ain't what they seem
    No brave new world, no brave new world

    03)
    I've been for a walk on a winter's day

    04)
    The blacksmith and the artist reflect it in their art
    They forge their creativity...(title)
    Philosophers and ploughmen each must know his part
    To sew a new mentality...(title)

    05)
    (When this began)
    I had nothing to say
    And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
    (I was confused)
    And I let it all out to find
    That I'm not the only person with these things in mind

    1) Really don't mind if you sit this one out
    your word's but a whisper, your deafness a shout

    2) "Can you tell me where my country lies?"
    Said the Unifaun to his true love's eyes
    "It lies with me!" cried the Queen Of Maybe
    -for her merchandise, he traded in his prize

    3) Cat's foot, Iron Claw, Neurosurgeons scream for more

    4) Lines form on my face and hands
    Lines form from the ups and downs
    I'm in the middle without any plans
    I'm a boy and I'm a man

    "I'd Really Like to See You Tonight", by England Dan & John Ford Coley

    Dang it, Glenwood. I thought that was going to stump some people. Did you immediately recognize the lyrics as coming from that song? BTW, thats one of my favorite love songs (makes me want to bawl).

    a. When she walked in the room/ you could faint from her strong purfume

    b.When you walked into the room/ There was voodoo in the vibes

    c.The radio is blastin', someone's knockin' at the door / I'm lookin' at my girlfriend - she's passed out on the floor

    d. See the paper layin' in the sidewalk/ a little music from the house next door

    Another couple..tried to make them vague

    1)"You're walking meadows in my mind,
    Making waves across my time, oh no, oh no, I get a.."

    2)"My love is the evening breeze, touchin' your skin
    The gentle, sweet singin' of leaves in the wind"

    3)"Trying to keep up the smile that hides a tear
    But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again"

    Up to the challenge?

    Rush has already been named, but I knew that. 5 is Linking Park's new single. I hate it. They play it ever 30 minutes on our local radio station.

    Ok, here's some...

    1) Choices always were a problem for you
    You just need someone strong to guide you
    Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
    What you need is someone strong to guide you

    2) Chewing to the rhythm on my bubblegum
    The sun is out and I want some

    3)Can you see the flag rising up beyond the smoke?
    Dying authors burning books, there was a problem with what they wrote
    The flag is hard to read, because all flags start to look the same
    When covered with the blood of the faithless and insane

    4)The news it out, all over town
    That you've been seen, a'running 'round
    I know that I should leave but then
    I just can't go....(song title)

    heres a few favorites

    1- emptiness is loneliness and loneliness is cleanliness and cleanliness is godliness and god is empty just like me

    2- pretty woman out walkin with gorillas down my street / from my window im starin while my coffee goes cold

    3- dont get cute / dont get funny now / its later than you think

    Yes.

    I was born in 1967, so I'm old enough to remember when WLS played that song every hour on the hour.
