Name that tune

Not really. I took the first line of dools' song, put it in quotes, put lyrics after it and hit google. Had the answer in 1.2 seconds.

 

BYH is envious.

 

Charlie?

We don't say much, we don't talk much, we just ball and play
But then we move like tigers on Vaseline
The bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar
You're the blessed and we're the ...

Spiders From Mars -- David Jones <crossthread>

A seasonal selection:

People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love, she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her

 

Love Minus Zero/No Limit -- Bob.

They danced a jig until the dawn.
Sang a loyal sailor's song.
Drank a pot of steaming rum.
Did all those things that loyal sailors do.

 

Crazy Captain Gunboat Willie -- Little Feat (yeah, I had to google)

She threw away her babydoll
I held on to my pride
But I was young and foolish then
I feel old and foolish now

Confidentially --
She never called me baby-doll
Confidentially --
I never had much pride
But now I rock a bar stool
And I drink for two
Just pondering this time bomb in my mind

 

Lucky Ball and Chain???


The keeper of the city keys
Put shutters on the dreams.
I wait outside the pilgrims door
With insufficient schemes.
The black queen chants
The funeral march,
The cracked brass bells will ring;

 

King Crimson, "In the Court of the Crimson King"


"You think that you've been sweet to her, but everybody knows
That you're the marshmallow valentine that got stuck on her clothes"

 

"Our Little Angel" -- Elvis Costello

The sun shines and people forget
The spray flies and the speedboat glides
And people forget

 

"Eminence Front" - The Who

Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success

 

"Subterranean Homesick Blues" - Bob Dylan

"And now I know
Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City"

 

"Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters" - Elton John

I like you dirty
I like you clean
I like your corners and in between
Why don't you come over
And make me feel fine
I want you all the time"
