I stand corrected! Like a Hurricane, I'll be more precise. Nice game!

BTW, I haven't read all the pages before, so I hope I won't put a double down.

"I-I bet I know what she's like.

And I can feel how right she'd be for me."

Name that tune!

edit: Just got in the game and I am backreading the rules. This is again not really classic rock, so I will be quicker with hints to get it over with:

additional lyrics:

"It's weird, how she comes in so strong.

And I wonder what she's picking up from me?"

More hints follow shortly!

changing gears, but still classic IMHO

"Bella donnas on the high street

Her breasts upon the off beat

And the stalls are just the side shows

Victorianas old clothes

And yes her jeans are tight now

She gotta travel light now

Shes gotta tear up all her roots now

She got a turn up on the boots now

Yeah she thinks shes tough

She aint no english rose"

No, sorry, per the rules it expected that you do check your guesses by title via the internet to prevent any confusion. good luck

Hint :The lead british singer/guitar player/writer has a solo career (not very popular). His brother , David was actually part of the band on thier first album, which was self titled (1978). You have heard of this band.

The song in question is from thier secon album released in 1979.

Ok another hint, the song is from an album titled Communique

Here is some more

"He get his money in a tin dish

Just a corner serenader

Upon a time he could have made her, made her

Yeah, she thinks shes tough

She aint no english rose

Ah, but the blind singer

Hes seen enough and he knows

Yes and do a song

About a long gone irish girl"

Hopefully this will be easier. Been covered many times

"It ain't no use to sit and wonder why,babe

If you don't know by now

An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why,babe

It don't matter,anyhow

When your rooster crows at the break of dawn

Look out your window and I'll be gone

You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on"

Hint: Artist was born Robert Allen Zimmerman in Duluth Minn 1941.

Hint: Its Dylan

Clapton did a blazing cover on Dylan's 30th anniversary concert, also Susan Tedeschi covered recently. I am in a rut obviously, thought it would be easier, I guess I have to stop choosing favorites. You have got to hear Clapton's version though, he gets a lot of crap on this forum, but IMHO its top notch.

Here is the last verse minus the title

"I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe

Where I'm bound, I can't tell

But goodbye's too good a word, gal

So I'll just say fare thee well

I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind

You could have done better but I don't mind

You just kinda wasted my precious time"

It was first released as part of 'The Freewheelin' 1963

Cheat if you have to, I am going down stairs to make myself a stiff one and listen to some great music in the dark. Enjoy your evening. Sorry Jeff - You might have to rescue me BTW - Please listen to EC's cover, worth it.

Sitting down looking from my back door,

Wondering which way to go,

The woman Im so crazy about, she dont love me no more.

Think Ill catch me a freight train, cause Im feeling blue,

And ride all the way to the end of the line, thinking only of you.
