Here are some lyrics for 10 of the songs I listened to on the way to work today. Can you identify them? No Googling!
1: But you all know I tried
So forget about it, girl
My head’s like a kite
When such a creature I sight.
2: I seem to recognize your face – Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town by Pearl Jam
Haunting, familiar, yet I cant seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me
3: You know I didn’t even know her name – December 1963 by The Four Seasons
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night!
4: shes crazy about her daddy
Oh she believes in him
She loves her daddy.
5: Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see. (cover version, bonus points for the artist I listened to) – Strawberry Fields, but by whom??
It’s getting hard to be someone but it all works out.
It doesn’t matter much to me.
6: I’d bring her gold and frankincense and myrrh – Jane by The Barenaked Ladies
She thought that I was making fun of her
She made me feel I was fourteen again
7: Life is so boring it’s really got me snoring I’m wearing out the flooring in a cheap motel
But I don’t have to work and I might be sinning but I never have to listen to the rings of school bells
8: I dream of a place that’s hedged with roses
With a man in the middle don’t talk in riddles
You get hung on every single word
Some call it high, some call it low
9: tongue tied and a visceral third degree
feel warm center of gravity
wash us all away
body never lies
10: Xylla was an archetype,. – 88 Lines about 44 Women – but by whom?
the voodoo queen the queen of rap.
Joan thought men were second best
to masturbating in the bath
# 3 is December ’63 by the Four Seasons
#5 is Strawberry Fields by The Beatles, dunno who sang your version
#6 is Jane by the Barenaked Ladies
Oooo # 10 is um…88 lines about 44 women by….dunno who it’s by.
#2 is Elderly Woman behind the Counter in a Small Town, by Pearl jam
Damn. I should have remembered #2.
7 is the White Stripes but I’m buggered if I can remember the title of the song.
