Name That Song

[Mathor]

Brown Sugar by The Rolling Stones

"we meet for our dress rehearsal to say, 'i wanted it this way'
wait for the year to drown."

[rozreads]

Brick by Ben Folds Five, but I think the words "the Sharlen" are supposed to be "to Charlotte."

Oh..so you're supposed to get the words right? Huh...
Well, I'm embarrassed..that's what you get for cutting and pasting. No wonder no one could guess.

I think this one is "Left and Leaving" by the Weakerthans (Isn't that name great?"

Hopefully these words are right this time:

"I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder

Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive"

[Scheherazade]

"I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder

Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive"

Dead Man's Party - Oingo Boingo (googled)


Next:

I like boys with strong convictions
and convicts with perfect diction
underdogs with good intentions
amputees with stamp collections
plywood skinboards ride the ocean
salty noses suntan lotion
always seriously joking
and rambunctiously soft-spoken

[Basil]

So Nice, So Smart - Kimya Dawson (Wow, Scher, you listen to Kimya Dawson?)

No one on the corner has swagger like us
Hit me on my banner, prepaid wireless
We pack and deliver like UPS trucks
Already going to hell, just pumping that gas

[Scheherazade]

So Nice, So Smart - Kimya Dawson (Wow, Scher, you listen to Kimya Dawson?)

Gee, you copy some lyrics and people start spreading rumours about you... Listening to Kimya Dawson, indeed!

What next? Listening to MIA???

[Basil]

Jeez, Scher--I mean, I guess it was a dumb question, but there's no need to be nasty about it.

Here's a new one, since the last one got spoiled:

And now they say:
We'll never forget what he learned us
We were mean to him
But he never burned us
And love is forever
Thanks to you....

[papayahed]

Casper the Friendly Ghost - Daniel Johnson (Nice !!!)

So don't misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
You put the sparks to the flame
I've got your heart in my sights

[Nightshade]

Don't go breaking my heart?

If ever you got rain in your heart,
someone has hurt you, and torn you apart,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

[papayahed]

Run to Me - Bee Gees

You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who would have believed that you were part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away

[Basil]

Can't Smile Without You - Barry Manilow

I know the rent is in arrears
The dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears
but it's all right.

Cows giving kerosene
Kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene
but it's all right

[Basil]

Oh, I know this one-it's Touch of Grey by the Grateful Dead, right?

The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh WAY oh)
You drop your drink, then they bring you more

All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh WAY oh)...

[MarkBastable]

Walk Like an Egyptian - The Bangles

I'm the guilty party and I want my slice,
But I know you've got me and I'm in a grip-like vice.

[Basil]

Party Girl - Elvis Costello

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

[BlueSkyGB]

Otis Redding-Sitting on the dock of the bay....


Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

[Scheherazade]

Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

Girl from the North Country - Bob Dylan


Young man, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy.
