[cowz]

OK all you children of the 60's....

Save my life, I'm going down for the last time......

Any guesses?

 

[red]

Head East
did you see any action, did you make any friends
would you like some affection, before I leave again
I been walking behind you, since you been able to see
there's never been any reason for you to think about me

did you have any bad dreams, did you break any glass
would you be my companion, is there even a chance
you been talking in circles, since I been able to cry
there's never been any reason for never telling me why

save my life I'm going down for the last time
woman with the sweet loving better than a white lie
bring a good feeling ain't happened such a long time
save my life I'm going down for the last time

have you every been lonley, do you have any fun
do you ever think of me, I'm just another one yea
you never give me no answers, you never tell me the truth
there's never been any reason for me to think about you
there's never been any reason (drums)
there's never been any reason, yea
there's never been any reason

save my life I'm going down for the last time
save my life I'm going down for the last time
save my life I'm going down for the last time
save my life I'm going down for the last time

Red,

Somehow I knew you would figure that one out!!!! O0

I'm trying to throw out some interesting stuff from my younger days.....Any of you Texans remember Joe King Carrasco?

 

[stick]

How about the "speeding ticket" songs. The kind when you hear them you subconsciously press harder on the gas and the next thing you know there are flashing lights in your rear view?

Flirtin With Disaster
the last half of Free Bird
Born To Be Wild
Bad To The Bone

I want to play!!!  So i am going back to the year before I graduated.  (I am 37 just to give you a hint)

Sometimes you're better off dead
There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant


Any guesses?  No cheating!!!

 

[DL]

How about......

"Take me across the water ‘Cause I need some place to hide I done the rancher’s daughter And ... "

 

[red]

DL's is Uriah Heep's Stealin' Great song!

Mommacow, I'm still thinking!

I want to say Elton John but don't think that's the right song.

[mommacow]

Way off!!!  Think of dogs and cats..........

 

[DL]

Three dog night?

 

[mommacow]

No...... Think 1986.  Dogs, cats and even rats can be these........ 

It is a catchy tune!!  I know you have heard it before!!

 

[red]

Pet Shop Boys?

Ok here is one from the late 80's one of my favorite albums..... Name song and band.


I said "Mama, he's crazy and he scares me
But I want him by my side
Though he's wild and he's bad
And sometimes just plain mad
I need him to keep me satisfied"

I said "Papa, don't cry cause it's alright
And I see you in some of his ways
Though he might not give me the life that you wanted
I'll love him the rest of my days"

Misguided angel hangin' over me
Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory
Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead
Misguided angel, love you 'til I'm dead

I said "Brother, you speak to me of passion
You said never to settle for nothing less
Well, it's in the way he walks,
It's in the way he talks
His smile, his anger and his kisses"

I said "Sister, don't you understand?
He's all I ever wanted in a man
I'm tired of sittin' around the T.V. every night
Hoping I'm finding a Mr. Right"

Misguided angel hangin' over me
Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory
Soul like a Lucifer
Black and cold like a piece of lead
Misguided angel, love you 'til I'm dead

He says "Baby, don't listen to what they say
There comes a time when you have to break away"
He says "Baby there are things we all cling to all our life
It's time to let them go and become my wife"

Misguided angel hangin' over me
Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory
Soul like a Lucifer
Black and cold like a piece of lead
Misguided angel, love you 'til I'm dead

 

[steers4u]

Pet Shop Boys and "West End Girls"

 

[red]

There you go! I knew I'd heard it but just couldn't put the song in my mind!

for your- how about the Cowboy Junkies & Misgiuded Angel (or something like that)
Good tune!!

 

[steers4u]

Red: You got it!! Figured I was the only one who had herd of them. Here is another

Daddy never sleeps at night
Well the kids don't eat
And the dogs can't sleep
There's no escape from the music
In the whole damn street
Now she's playin' all night
And the music's all right

 

[mommacow]

Good job!!!


Ok here is another one, I was only 1 at the time this song came out, but the artist is one of my fav's!!!

This is probably so easy!!

Well, I'm a cement mixer, a churning urn of burning funk.

Elvis or James Taylor.
Steam Roller

Mama's Got a Squeeze Box , daddy never sleeps at night...




Bases are loaded and Casey's at bat
Playin' it play by play
Time to change the batter

 

[mommacow]

The Who.... Squeeze box.... 

I had to cheat on the Bases are loaded lyrics, so I will let someone else guess.
