Re: Name that Tune
 

Okay kids -- boredom brings you these lyrics from way before your time.


One of these mornings,
You're gonna rise up singing,
Spread your wings and you'll take the sky
Until that morning there's nothing that can harm you,
with mommy and daddy standing by.


A big yay for people who know this song without looking up its lyrics.

Aliens Exist by Blink 182

Try this one on for size!

"revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night

Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer
with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps
his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older, I tripped
the merry-go-round
With the stereo pleasin' and sneezin' and wheezin, the calliope crashed
to the ground"

:D

"Blinded By The Light" by Manfred Mann's Earth Band

How about this (I think it's relatively easy, but it's on the radio right now so it just came to mind).


Circus life under the big top world,
we all need the clowns to make us laugh,
Through space and time
always another shore
Wondering where I am
lost without you

Dirty numb angel boy
In the doorway boy
She was a-lipstick boy
She was a-beautiful boy
And tears boy
And all in your inner space boy"

Born Slippy
by
Underworld???

Re: Name that Tune
 

Holy jeez, Heidi, could that be Underworld? I just had junior high brought back to me in a huge flash. I think the song was... uh... 'Born Slippy' or slippery or something to that effect. Wow...

Here's one from around the same time period:

"You're such a charming, handsome man,
Now I think I finally understand,
Is it in your genes?, I don't know,
But I'll soon find out, that's for sure,
Why did you play me this way?
Well I guess what you say is true -
I could never be the right kind of girl for you..."

I never wanna say my best days are behind me..."

Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell

"...
In my rectory of doubt, I kneel to pray like one devout,
As time the great gray dreamless sleep of a useless modern god
erodes away each storied day as wretched Adams with hell to pay
Content upon a rail of pain for just a little rain.

"He use to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track

Playing to the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by would stop and say
Oh my that little country boy could play"

"And they knew all the lyrics by heart, now,
And they play in the perfect key,
And their tombstones are silhouetted,
And the band I can barely see,
Well our spirit fades, hard and cheated,
When the funeral's over, I can't leave it,
Everyone's going home, I'm defeated."

Re: Name that Tune
 

Ghost Band, by Rancid? (hehe thanks jake lol)

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Chorus:
Every long lost dream led me to where you are

Re: Name that Tune
 

Rascal Flatts - Bless The Broken Road..... good choice

Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's til the end
Now we're spinning empty bottles
It's the five of us
With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust
I can't resist the day
No, I can't resist the day

Jenny screams out and it's no pose
'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
Beer through the nose on an inside joke
I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
And she's so pretty, and she's so sure
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
The summer's all in bloom
The summer is ending soon

I'd sail on hoe to my TV set,
