Name That Song

[Xamonas Chegwe]

You're older than you look Scher!

Nat King Cole - Only a Paper Moon.

I was thinking of posting these lyrics in the "Song lyrics as poetry" thread, but I'll wait till someone gets it first.

Iron-clad feather-feet pounding the dust,
An October's day, towards evening,
Sweat embossed veins standing proud to the plough,
Salt on a deep chest seasoning.
Last of the line at an honest day's toil,
Turning the deep sod under,
Flint at the fetlock, chasing the bone,
Flies at the nostrils plunder.
The Suffolk, the Clydesdale, the Percheron vie
with the Shire on his feathers floating.
Hauling soft timber into the dusk
to bed on a warm straw coating.

[Scheherazade]

You're older than you look Scher!

No, I look younger than I am!

Nat King Cole - Only a Paper Moon.

I had Ella in mind! I don't think anyone else can sing that song as good as she does.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

I only knew it 'cause my dad is a huge NKC fan - I'm real young personally!

[papayahed]

Heavy Horse - Jethro Tull

It started back in high school
So cool, king of the scene
You found that making people laugh
Was more than just a dream
The public took right to you
Like flies to a pile of ****
So funny and smart, so talented
But success just couldn’t fit

Wasting your life no future bright
Dancing on your grave

[Scheherazade]

Efilnikufesin - Anthrax (googled needless to say)

and if some dim bulb should say
we were in love in some way
kick all his teeth in for me
and if you feel like keeping on kicking,
feel free

[papayahed]

Needless to say??????? That's musical gold!!!!

[Jay]

Meaningless - The Magnetic Fields (no googling! )

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say

[AimusSage]

Noooooo! Kansas, what horror

Carry on my way.

[papayahed]

Carry on Wayward Son - KANSAS!!!!!!! (Thanks Jay)

To keepin' silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut

So I went from day to day
Tho' my life was in a rut

[papayahed]

Damn I'm slow!

[AimusSage]

Well if it's any consolation, I did manage to get the song title wrong.

[papayahed]

I thought this would be an easy one...

[Basil]

Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel (g-g-googled)

"Daddy?"
"Yes, son?"
"What does regret mean?"
"Well, son, a funny thing about regret is, it's better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't done. And by the way: if you see your mom this weekend, would you be sure and tell her: SATAN, SATAN, SATAN!!!"

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Basil,

- Post 5!

When he looked through the window
For the thousandth time
He saw a black horse fighting for its life

In a barbed wire fence
Fatally tangled
The more it struggled
The more it was strangled

Time sped up

[Émilie]

The Other Window - Wire ... (googled!)

Easy one:

Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body

I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection
