Name that song from a line or two of lyrics

[turk 182]

[scottjoplin]

lou reed... ? or should that be Velvet Underground?

Yes, the Velvets, Heroin

That's Larry Gowan; "Strange Animal." (Post 159)

Not Canadiana...

It's one hell of an understatement to say she can be mean
She's temperamental; more a bitch than a machine...

 

[Kay Pirinha]

I told your mama I'd get you home but I didn't say I have no car
I saw a lion he was standing alone with a tadpole in a jar

Dancing Days - LZ. Track B1 on their »Houses of the holy« album.


Best regards!

 

[scottjoplin]

Well done Kay, great track, it's your turn to choose another.....

 

[Kay Pirinha]

Well, as Houses of the Holy was their one and only with lyrics included on it's inner sleeve, wasn't that difficult 😉.


What about the following:


Colours I've none, dark or light, red, white or blue
Cold is my touch, freezing.
Summoned by name, I am the overseer over you.


Best regards!

The memories of a man in his old age
Are the deeds of a man in his prime.

I was just listening to that the other day - first time in many many years...


A Passion Play - Jethro Tull


-----------------------


Down on the mainspring, listen to the tick tock
Clock all the faces that move in on your block

 

[Kay Pirinha]

That's right, a fine album and vivid memories of my youth.


Btw, I don't see the point of this thread anymore, as we all know how to Google ...


Best regards!

I was just listening to that the other day - first time in many many years...A Passion Play - Jethro Tull...

I love this album, even more than Thick as a Brick, which I believe was more popular (here in the States at least). I even had it on 8-track for god's sake.

There was a box set of A Passion Play released a few years ago, featuring among other things a fabulous 5.1 surround mix by Steven Wilson, if you're into that sort of thing.

Hey can I try one? Just listened to this tonight (the live version, a favorite summertime album):

"Tomorrow the plow becomes the sword
Make us stronger in our danger..."

Honour system I guess, if you don't know don't post! If you are curious, google and keep it to yourself 😉

Wishbone Ash - Warrior (from their 3rd album, Argus)

 

[Jim the Oldbie]

*Ding!* Correct, Kay - although I seem to lean toward the Live Dates double-album for most of these classic Wishbone songs. Reminds me of going to see them with my schoolmates back in the day - great shows.

 

[wintermute]

Well, since I for whatever reason hadn't stumbled accross this thread before, and it's been resurected, and no one's posting another I'll have a go. BTW I went back and looked at the whole thread, and ironically I knew the very first one and then very few after that!

He was a scrawny calf who looked rather woozy
no one suspected he was packing an uzi

 

[Jim the Oldbie]

Looks like you stumped us, Wintermute. I'm gonna guess something from Be-Bop Deluxe?

Edit: Oops, not even close, heh. 🙁

 

[wintermute]

Hmm maybe it was too obscure. First word in the title is "Cows"

Tony.
