Time's up on this one: The Smithereens -- "Only a Memory" How about: "if I could, baby I'ld give you my world, how can I when you won't take it from me"
Here are a few new ones, maybe a little bit obscure: W1: September, seventy-seven, Port Elizabeth's where you'd find / It was business as usual in police room six one nine W2: We are vain and we are blind / I hate people when they're not polite W3: Well I hope Neil Young will remember / A southern man don't need him around, anyhow W4: And I can see those fighter planes, I can see those fighter planes
W2 -- Talking Heads, "Psycho Killer" W3 -- Lynryd Skynyrd, "Sweet Home Alabama" W4 -- U2, "Bullet the Blue Sky"
But who was the "artist"? ABC. Another Saturday another date/she would be ready but she'd always make him wait. DEF. Put the doorknob/on my side/its self locking/ give me your key. GHI. When you walked in the room/you could faint from her strong perfume JKL. But I'll never get arrested/because my dad's the mayor
(They call me) Deacon Blue- Steely Dan 1. I close my eyes/only for a moment and the moments gone 2. Keep on whispering in my ear/tell me all the things that I want to hear 3. I might like you better if we slept together 4. Circus lights/under the big top world/we all need the clowns/to make us smile
1. Dust in the wind- Kansas 3- I know the title, but not the artist. I'll let someone who knows both answer. 4- Faithfully- Journey (I'm ashamed to admit I know this one. Pop radio did have its bad moments...)
Here's two: A. "I'm stranded in Honduras, I'm a desperate man." B. "He's playing bongos like a chimpanzee."
A big shout out to everybody, especially bungadiri!! z. Memories of love above the city lights/I tried so hard to take it/but I know my heart won't make it y. What you say about his company/is what you say about society x. Everyone's wondering/will you come out tonight/everyone's trying/to get it right w. Then there was this boy whose/parents made him come directly home right after school v. Music does the talking/says the thing you want to hear/I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free
B is from Money for Nothing by Dire Straits, don't know the other one Sorry, can't even catch a glimmer with these. Here's one I was thinking about this morning: "The squirrels they do not bother them, They know what rhinestone seeds portend"
z. Gino Vanelli, "I Just Wanna Stop" y. Rush, "Tom Sawyer" x. Loverboy, "Working For The Weekend" w. Crash Test Dummies, "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" v. Triumph, "Magic Power"
Here are a few new ones: xa. Saw him dancin' there by the record machine / Knew he musta been about seventeen / Beat was goin' strong, playin' my favorite song / And I could tell it wouldn't be long... xb. The lights are on, but you're not home / your mind is not your own / your heart sweats, your body shakes / another kiss is what it takes xc. The phone rings in the middle of the night / My father yells what you gonna do with your life? / Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one, but... xd. I have run, I have crawled, I have scaled these city walls
...till he was with me, yeah, me Joan Jett, "I Love Rock and Roll" ... only to be with you U2, "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"
Might as well face it, you're Addicted To Love - Robert Palmer ...Girls Just Want to Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper
Here's a hint: A. "I'm stranded in Honduras, I'm a desperate man. ********************, the ************ has hit the fan." (the title is deleted). And, from the same song, "I'm an innocent bystander, but somehow I got stuck, between a rock and hard place, and I'm down on my luck."
How was I to know she was with the Russians too? "Lawyers, Guns and Money" Warren Zevon Your lyrics, unless you've got some different version, are wrong. Here they are: I went home with a waitress The way I always do How was I to know She was with the Russians too I was gambling in Havana I took a little risk Send lawyers, guns and money Dad get me out of this I'm the innocent bystander But somehow I got stuck Between a rock and a hard place And I'm down on my luck yes I'm down on my luck Well I'm down on my luck send lawyers guns and money send lawyers guns and money send lawyers guns and money send lawyers guns and money
You pummelled my Canadian leit-motif. But can you name these az. 5 golden toques, 4 pounds of back bacon, 3 french toast, 2 turtlenecks, and a beer in a tree. bz. Ever since she left me/ I sure feel all alone/ A little misunderstanding/ I cant get her on the telephone cz. See the girls with their dresses so tight/ give you love if the price is right. dz. Oh how could I have known/ That all my life I needed only you.
az. Bob & Doug MacKenzie, "Twelve Days of Christmas, Eh?" bz. no idea cz. Aldo Nova, "Fantasy" dz. Mike Reno & Ann Wilson, "Almost Paradise" (a little help from Mrs. Whirlwind on that one.)
A few more, also with a common theme: xe. Like a lover's voice across the mountainside xf. Company, always on the run / Destiny is the rising sun / I was born a six gun in my hand / Behind a gun, I make my final stand xg. Adrenaline starts to flow / You're thrashing all around / Acting like a maniac... xh. What is this that stands before me? / A figure in black which points at me / I turn around quick, I try to run xi. Your mother's shouting out WHAT'S THAT NOISE? / Aw, Mom you're just jealous, it's the... Extra point for providing the common theme to these songs!
