n - Abba, Chiquitita p - Suzanne Vega, Gypsy Here's a couple of related ones: slightly incorrect predictions of communist revolution 1) "In 19 hundred and seventy five, all my people rose from the countryside; locked together, hand in hand, all through this unsteady land"" 2) "Look to the summer of seventy-five, the whole world is gonna come alive" Jimmy Carter was elected in 76 though, almost as big a disaster and here's one that typified a group with totally meaningless lyrics (I liked that) 3) "Everybody, listen to me, and return me, my ship"
"I'm Your Captain/(Closer To Home)" - Grand Funk Railroad. Here's one from me: 1)"Beat me up with your letters/your walk out notes/funny how you still find me/right here at home."
Here are a couple more: 2.)"I bought you mail order/my plain wrapper baby Your skin is like vinyl/the perfect companion You float in my new pool/deluxe and delightful" 3.)"Television man is crazy saying we're juvenile deliquent wrecks/Oh man I need TV when I got T Rex" 4.)"Hong Kong is up for grabs/London is full of Arabs. We could be in Palestine/overrun by a Chinese line" 5.)"'Cause they're waiting for me/they're looking for me. Every single night they're driving me insane/those men inside my brain" 6.)"Take this message to my brother/You will find him everywhere Wherever people live together/Tied in poverty's despair You, telling me the things you're gonna do for me/I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see." 7.)"While they're standing in the welfare lines/crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation/wasting time in the unemployment lines/sitting around waiting for a promotion"
4 - Oliver's Army - Elvis Costello Damn but 7 is buggin me. from NotAbbot h) "If depth of feeling were a currency, then I'm the man who grew the money tree." Mayor of Simpleton XTC OK, I'll add a few: 101) "Jesus rides beside me He never buys any smokes" 102) "Poor old Johnny Ray Sounded sad upon the radio He moved a million hearts in mono" 103) "Words like conviction can turn into a sentence"
101) The Mats (ok, Replacements)--Can't Hardly Wait 102) Come on Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners 103) You can hang me up bu my toes and kick me in the head, but I still won't know it! Kickeroo's Picks: 104) When I was young I was so full of fear/I hid behind anger and held back the tears/It was me against the world I was sure that I'd win/But the world fought back, punished me for my sins.... 105) Are you ready Steve, uh-huh, Andy? yeah. Mick? Ok. Alright fellas, lets go!
Roxy Music - In everydream home a heartache How about: 106)As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent You asked for the latest party 107)I get sales talk from sales assistants When all I want to do girl, is lower your resistance Everything is temporary, written in the sand Looking for the girl that meets supply with demand
Kudos to Auriaprottu and Cosmos RIP for The Doobie Brothers and Roxy Music, respectively! Shades: you know my #7 just the same as I know your #103. It sure sucks being able to almost mouth the words to the next line, doesn't it? I'm stumped and I'm sure I'll kick myself once I find out the answer to your question. This one of mine is still open (along with #7): 1)"Beat me up with your letters/your walk out notes/funny how you still find me/right here at home." Here's an extra clue: "legs up with a book and a drink"
Okay, some more: "Looking out a dirty old window, down below the cars in the city go rushing by." "Oh it's in color. Your hair is brown. Your eyes are hazel, and soft as clouds." "It's funny but I'm frightened by the sound of the telephone, oh yeah. I'm afraid the caller might have awful news." Incidentally, I've been known to do the first two at open mike nights, and I'm working on the third. And a bonus: "Did a vehicle come from somewhere out there? Just to land in the Andes? Was it round and did it have a motor or was it something different?" Later, COZ
This one was killing me all night. It came to me (at least the band) this morning on my way to work. It's Squeeze -- I'll guess "Another Nail in my Heart".
I'll offer a few: A "to buy you a gold ring and a pretty dress of blue, baby just one kiss will get these things for you" B "you get so dizzy even walking in a straight line" C "she said, I can't believe it you can't possibly mean it don't we both want the same thing"
Think I have the one's that bugging you. Is it Tracy Chapman's "Talkin' 'Bout a Revolution"? At long last an act that made the Irish charts!
Time's up on this one: T) Quickly, check the hands on the clock, it's eight oh five, it's time to rock... Answer: Sammy Hagar, "There's Only One Way To Rock" Some late-80s-early-90s tunes for you: I. Woke up to the sound of pouring rain / washed away a dream of you / but nothing else could ever take you away... II. I'm the dog who gets beat / Rub my nose in sh** / Won't you come and save me? III. I know you want what's on my mind / I know you like what's on my mind / I know it eats you up inside / I know you know, you know, you know IV. The dead lay in pools of maroon below
