Name That Song

[beer good]

Midnight Special - traditional (CCR, Leadbelly and lots of others have recorded it)

So don't play this crazy game with me no longer
Cause I won't be able to resist my rage
And the gun that's hangin on the kitchen wall, dear
Is like the road sign pointing straight to satan's cage

[papayahed]

Kiss the Children - Gram Parsons

It's all so confusing, this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes, and then apologize
You're daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell off the swing

[Pendragon]

Hell is for Children-- Pat Benatar

I've said your name in vain before
I've let the Devil drive my Ford
Read "Jesus saves" on a bathroom door
Just before I passed out

[Chinaski]

Bobby Pinson - never heard him before, but I really, really want to take a razor to that little bit of beard of his.

I don't know how to do the quote thing.


I think I spent the dog-food money
But he'll love me just the same
And if you really love me baby
Help me scrape the mucus off my brain

[Basil]

Help Me Scrape The Mucus Off My Brain - Ween (I've seen these guys like five times!)

Time takes its crazy toll
And how does your mirror grow
You better watch yourself when you jump into it
'Cause the mirror's gonna steal your soul

[beer good]

The Diamond Sea - Sonic Youth. One of my all-time favourites.

Leave me now, return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

[Chinaski]

I've only seen em once - they don't tour here that much. Certainly in my top 5 bands.

[TBtheG]

Those last lyrics are from Bjork - Bachloret

"History recalls how great the fall can be
While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea
Borne on the wings of time
It seemed the answers were so easy to find
";Too late,"; the prophets cry
The island's sinking, let's take to the sky"

[Pendragon]

Fool's Overture--Supertramp Somebody guessed Bobby Pinson for my last lyrics but failed to name the song, which was "One More Believer".

Living in the city where the walls have ears
People judge you by the words they hear
Shake their heads while they chew your name
And then they write it on a wall

OK. Maybe another verse will help.

No one gives them the love they need
Or helps them through their time of grief
After all, it could be you or me
We're just human after all

Hint: They broke up once after a terrible onstage fight. This was on their reunion album.

[papayahed]

Born Yesterday - Everly Brothers

Well the kids are all hopped up and ready to go
They're ready to go now
They've got their surfboards
And they're going to the discotheque a go go
But she just couldn't stay
She had to break away
Well New York City really has it all

[beer good]

Sheena Is A Punk Rocker - Ramones

NOT googled in any way whatsoever.

These old love letters
Well, I just can't keep
'Cause like the gambler says
Read 'em and weep
And the dawn don't rescue me no more

[Xamonas Chegwe]

It makes no difference - The Band

I drove my polypropolene
Car on wheels of sponge
Then pulled into a wimpy bar
To have a rubber bun

[papayahed]

X-Ray Spex - The Day The World Turned Day-Glo (yes I googled)

Oh, I know that she's disgusted (oh why's that)
Cause she's feeling so abused. (oh that's too bad)
She gets tired of the lust, (oh I'm so sad)
but it's so hard to refuse.

[TBtheG]

Red Shoes - Elvis Csotello

Give that boy some freedom let him move around
Don't get in his way you'll only bring him down
Mama won't you let him, let him play some rock & roll , yeah
Let him play some rock & roll

[Scheherazade]

Give that boy some freedom let him move around
Don't get in his way you'll only bring him down
Mama won't you let him, let him play some rock & roll , yeah
Let him play some rock & roll

Mama Let Him Play - Jerry Doucette (of course googled!)

It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
