Name the Song

[Thorsen]

Rolling stones - Joker


Awe. crap.... Steve Miller Band...

I get those mixed up all the time

 

[Kirsch]

Thorsen you didn't include lyrics!

Curl your upper lip up and let me look around
Ride your tongue along your bottom lip and bite down
And bend your back and ask your hips if I can touch

 

[johnwillyums]

Yup. What about the one before. 70s I think. Canadian but worldwide.




Steve Miller epitomises that West Coast sound for me over here in UK.

 

[johnwillyums]

British 70s


When the wind blows and the rain feels cold
With a head full of snow
With a head full of snow
In the window there's a face you know
Don't the night pass slow
Don't the nights pass slow

 

[DirtRider]

I had to post this one, I love it

Towering waves
Will crash across your southern capes
Massive storms
Will reach your eastern shores
Fields of green

​

No one got this one so here it is

 

[DirtRider]

British 70s


When the wind blows and the rain feels cold
With a head full of snow
With a head full of snow
In the window there's a face you know
Don't the night pass slow
Don't the nights pass slow

 

[DirtRider]

Try this one

Cause I shook hands with a digger
On the wrong side of the world...
With a wife at home that holds her breath...
With a brand new baby girl

 

[johnwillyums]

Enjoyed the Bob Segar DR, thanks. Stuck on your last one though.
I'm surprised no one got this but here it is. All time fave

 

[johnwillyums]

Ok. Here's one I think you'll get. British 60s but a bigger hit in the late 70s for a different band.

I am a dull and simple lad
Can not tell water from champagne
And I have never met the queen
And I wish I could have all that he has got

 

[DirtRider]

Enjoyed the Bob Segar DR, thanks. Stuck on your last one though.

Wow I don't know how I did not get this one either. My last one is a bit obscure I must admit, do you give up then

 

[boohbah]

Ok this one should keep you guessing , john willyums no cheating...
Around the world, around the world
Around the world, around the world
Around the world, around the world
Around the world, around the world

 

[Thorsen]

Ok this one should keep you guessing , john willyums no cheating...
Around the world, around the world
Around the world, around the world
Around the world, around the world
Around the world, around the world

Daft Punk - Around the World






Ok so spoiler since no one guessed my last one:
Aesop Rock - Citronella








So new lyrics:

I got my head, but my head is unraveling
Can't keep control, can't keep track of where it's traveling
I got my heart but my heart is no good
And you're the only one that's understood
I come along but I don't know where you're taking me
I shouldn't go, but you're wrenching, dragging, shaking me
Turn off the sun, pull the stars from the sky
The more I give to you, the more I die

 

[DirtRider]

Try this one

Cause I shook hands with a digger
On the wrong side of the world...
With a wife at home that holds her breath...
With a brand new baby girl

No one got it so here we go

 

[DirtRider]

And here is a new one

When the stars no longer shine
when the sun falls from the sky
I will be forever yours
you will be forever mine

 

[johnwillyums]

Another tough one DR. I'm trying to sing it to find a tune...

Here's probably a hard one so a few clues- current indie rock band, US, song off their latest album.


Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city to all the silver girls
Everything means everything

I was afraid, I'd eat your brains
I was afraid, I'd eat your brains
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil

 

[johnwillyums]

Ah. Thorsen! Great band. Great song. Have you heard How To Destroy Angels?
Trent and his wife. Good stuff

 

[Thorsen]

yes John, I have.... want CD.....

You forgot to post new lyrics

 

[Thorsen]

Well you guessed mine so here is another:

So glad to see you well
Overcome and completely silent now
With heaven's help
You cast your demons out
And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you off your cloud
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead

 

[johnwillyums]

That's tough Thorsen.

I did post some new lyrics in post 215. From my current favourite album ( besides Arcade Fire and Interpol's new ones)

 

[DirtRider]

And here is a new one

When the stars no longer shine
when the sun falls from the sky
I will be forever yours
you will be forever mine

This one was a bit hard so here we go
