🤪 Stir Crazy Antidote #11 - Guess where the lyric is from

[Map-Of-Tasmania]

You have good taste!

[saintbletch]

Can anyone else play?

Also, if @Fowllyd had been online he’d have got that.

[Fowllyd]

I most assuredly would have done.

Here’s one from 1973 (I think):

Your swimming-pool eyes, in sea breezes they flutter,
Swaying palms at your feet, you’re the pride of your street.
While you worship the sun, summer lover of fun,
Gold number with neighbours.
Who say that you’ll go far, maybe some day be a star,
A fast mover like you, and your dreams will all come true…

[Map-Of-Tasmania]

Haha, I know that one… I think… fuck what is the song though… it’s Ferry’s mob, but arsebollocks, cant remember the name of the song… again

[Map-Of-Tasmania]

OK 69/70

Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes and waits between shows

[Nottarf-Krap]

Roxy Music. In every dream home a heartache?

[Fowllyd]

Right band. Right LP. Wrong song.

[Nottarf-Krap]

Do the Strand?

[Fowllyd]

Have you got the track list in front of you? There aren’t too many songs on that LP.

[Nottarf-Krap]

They are the only two i can remember.

[Polski_Filip]

Wherever somebody’s fighting for a place to stand
Or a decent job or a helping hand
Wherever somebody’s struggling to be free

1995

[Fowllyd]

I’m guessing that’s from The Ghost of Tom Joad by the Boss. Though more because it sounds like a quote from The Grapes on Wrath than from any knowledge of the song.

[Fowllyd]

OK, so here’s the song…

[Map-Of-Tasmania]

So. I one having a guess at ‘Ten silver saxes…’ above?

Come in follyworld this is right up thou back passage

[Map-Of-Tasmania]

Whilst you ponder that one… this song is one of my all time favourites - a dessert island disc

From 1969,

So forget this cruel world
Where I belong
I’ll just sit and wait
And sing my song
And if one day you should see me in the crowd
Lend a hand and lift me
To your place in the cloud

2003…I find tears are very close every time I listen to this:

Her Chevrolet broke down
We prayed it’d never be fixed or be found
We touched her hair, we touched her hair
We touched her hair, we touched her hair

OK M-o-T got the artist… the track is “Romulus” from…

Sufjan Stevens-Romulus

Good shout. Only ever bought 2 Bruce albums, that and Born in the USA, simply preferred to see him sing them. Tom Joad cassette made it to Dubai & back with a few of the local Thomsun bootleg. Still in my possession, just still in the bottom of a crate waiting for us to finally have storage space (2022 at this rate)

Cinnamon girl - Neil Young

“I have seen where the wolf has slept by the silver stream.
I can tell by the mark he left you were in his dream.
Ah, child of countless trees.
Ah, child of boundless seas.
What you are, what you’re meant to be
Speaks his name, though you were born to me,”

[Polski_Filip]

Don’t ask my opinion
Don’t ask me to lie
Then beg for forgiveness
For making you cry
Making you cry

1986
