Eagles--Take It To The Limit

Last one for me tonight...(Known more as a folk song)

I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again
but that's not unusual
it's just that the moon is full
and you decided to come
And here I sit, hand on the telephone
hearing the voice I'd known
a couple of light years ago
headed straight for a fall
But we both know what memories can bring...
(Next lyric is song title)


This would be"Diamonds and Rust" by Joan Baez

great song!
 
Here's an easy one

What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key


(Would you believe in a love at first sight)
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
(What do you see when you turn out the light)
I can't tell you but I know it's mine
 
here's another...

"You're the kind of person
You meet at certain dismal dull affairs.
Center of a crowd, talking much too loud
Running up and down the stairs.
Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years.
And though you've tried you just can't hide
Your eyes are edged with tears. "
 
That one is 19th Nervous Breakdown by the Rolling Stones


Another...

My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad
You know I'm gonna be like you"

You'd be talkin: 19th Nervous Breakdown
Rolling Stones

Hey V.F. How's my cutie doin?
 
How about this one?


You are all the woman I need, and baby you know it,
You can make this beggar a king, a clown or a poet.
I'll give you all that I own.
You got me standing in line
Out in the cold,
pay me some mind.

Harry Chapin "Cats in the cradle" easily one of the saddest songs I've ever heard

here's one...

"It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
the regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin"

oh and fantasy girl I'm doing well, how's about yourself? staying out of trouble I hope :)

I think it's Harry Chapin - either W.O.L.D. or Cat In The Cradle?

Try this one:

I would love to tour the Southland
In a travelling minstrel show
Yes, I would love to tour the Southland
In a travelling minstrel show
Yes, I'm dying to be a star and make them laugh
Sound just like a record on the phonograph
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah

Bend Me; Shape Me? Can't think of the artist...think it is American 'something'...

Mrs Robinson--Simon and Garfunkle

Another...

See the curtains hanging in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a-shining through the window
Lets me know everything's alright

Summer Breeze Seals and Croft

A most excellent song!
 
How about this one?

I started my life in an old, cold run down tenement slum My father left, he never even married mom
I shared the guilt my mama knew
So afraid that others knew I had no name

The Supremes--Love Child (Faith Hill just did a remake of it)

another...

And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that. Huh! Me workin' for you!"
Whoa-oh-oh

Signs - The 5 Man Electrical Band (1971)

Easy one:

You say yes
I say no
You say why
And I say I don't know . . .

"Signs" Five Man Electical Band
Another excellent song!

Funny how songs can bring back so many memories. It's great. Even if sometimes its a memory you'd rather forget...Luckily that doesn't happen very often.

Here is the next one:
Tune-a by the cockeyed world in two.
Throw your pride to one side, It's the least you can do.
Beatniks and politics, nothing is new.
A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view.

Who cares what games we choose?

Wowwww...I still have a 45 of this one, too--Incense and Peppermints by the Strawberry Alarm Clock. Good tune!

Last one...(I shoulda been in bed an hour ago!)

Listen to the tide slowly turning,
wash all our heartaches away.
We are part of the fire that is burning,
and from the ashes we can build another day.
But I'm frightened for your children,
and the life that we are living is in vain.
And the sunshine we've been waiting for,
will turn to rain.

When the final line is over,
and it's certain that the curtain's gonna fall,
I can hide inside your sweet sweet love,
forever more.

Good one - "The Story In Your Eyes" / Moody Blues

Try this:

Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same
