I see we are w/o a challenge. Try this:

"Lock all your doors from the outside

The key will dangle by the inside

You may begin to understand

That this is the night we ride

This ain't the garden of eden

There ain't no angels above

And things ain't like what they used to be

And this ain't <name of song>"

Name that Tune!

From the thier first album

"Canadian mounted baby, a police force that works

Red and black, that's their color scheme

get their man, in the end

It's all right, it's all right.

Frontenac chateau baby

I'll cross the frontier at ten

Got a whip in my hand baby

And a girl or a husky at leather's end

It's all right, it's all right

My lovely bel punice, you'd kill and you'd maim"

Album was Tyrrany and Mutation

Song was Red & Black? Not sure of title...

If that's close enough, then here...

If all you got to live for

is what you left behind

get yourself a powder charge

and seal that silver mine

I lost my boots in transit babe

A pile of smoking leather

Nailed a retread to my feet

and prayed for better weather

"Long distance runner, what you standin there for?

Get up, get out, get out of the door

Your playin cold music on the barroom floor

Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core.

Theres a dragon with matches thats loose on the town

Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down."

Hint - Its a Greatful Dead tune as the one before it.

some more

"Almost ablaze still you dont feel the heat

It takes all you got just to stay on the beat.

You say its a livin, we all gotta eat

But youre here alone, theres no one to compete.

If mercys a busness, I wish it for you

More than just ashes when your dreams come true."

Ok, clearly that did not go over big, it was Fire on the Mountain.

Here is another try:

"Leaves are falling all around,

Its time I was on my way.

Thanks to you, Im much obliged

For such a pleasant stay.

But now its time for me to go,

The autumn moon lights my way.

For now I smell the rain,

And with it pain,

And its headed my way.

Ah, sometimes I grow so tired,

But I know Ive got one thing I got to do,"

Probably this band's most radio played song...though they have a lot of other great ones. Check back to one of my earlier posts if you need help on the band...good chance it is a previous band I have picked as I have little imagination at 4:00pm on a Friday

You said you love me and thats a fact

Then you left me, said you felt trapped

Well some things you can explain away

But my heartaches in me till this day

Enjoy!

This might be a stretch...

Back in the late 80's I used to hang out in a place called the Grotto

in New Haven. Underground bar / club, dark, back room painted

black, converted old factory, used to have local bands many

nights. Great sound system when the DJ was spinning CD's.

Really cool, too bad it closed up and left years ago. I was there

one night having a Bombay martini and I heard this, this, uh, this

whatever it was coming out of the darkness...

One of the eeriest guitar sounds I've ever heard... went running up to

the booth to find out what / who it was, went out and bought the CD

that night.


and they stared at the sand

that man knows the sea like the back of his hand

he'll be back some time

laughing at you

and I've been waiting all this time

for my man to come, take his hand in mine

and lead me away

to unseen shores

I've been washing the sand with my salty tears

searching the shore these long years

and I'll walk the sea forever more

Sorry about the delay, wasn't online much this weekend...

That was Sinead OConnor's first album, The Lion and the Cobra, song was Jackie... complete lyrics:

Jackie left on a cold, dark night

Telling me he'd be home

Sailed the seas for a hundred years

Leaving me all alone

And I've been dead for twenty years

I've been washing the sand with my ghostly tears

Searching the shores for my Jackie-oh

I remember the day the young man came

Said, "your Jackie's gone, he got lost in the rain"

And I ran to the beach

And laid me down

"You're all wrong", I said

And they stared at the sand

"That man knows that sea like the back of his hand

He'll be back some time

laughing at you"

And I've been waiting all this time

For my man to come, take his hand in mine

And lead me away

To unseen shores

I've been washing the sand with my salted tears

Searching the shore these long years

And I'll walk the sea forever more

Till I find my Jackie oh

Till I find my Jackie oh

Till I find my Jackie oh

Jackie oh

Jackie oh

Jackie oh

not sure this will work as a link of not...

We'll try a much easier one...

Smile an everlasting smile, a smile can bring you near to me.

Don't ever let me find you down, cause that would bring a tear to me.
