Name that Tune - No Cheating Using Computer Word Searches

Hi thereyugobuddy,

here is another challenge:

If I keep self-control,
I'll be safe in my soul.
And the childhood belief
Brings a moment's relief,
But my cynic soon returns
And the lifeboat burns.
My spirit just never learns.

Jack

No idear--

A little clue:

The song is from a well known band - from the 70s up to now.

In the 70s they had a famous double-album including the song.

4 of the five members of this band have a reunion and they are going to perfom some stadium-venues in summer 2007 in germany.

Jack

Sorry for my delayed reaction

[theryugobuddy]

Geez --

In the Cage by Genesis -- there a fave--

You heard of a bans called the Watch? great Genesis/Gabriel sound alike from Italy--

How about this:

A cloud appears above your head;
A beam of light comes shining down on you,
Shining down on you.
The cloud is moving nearer still.
Aurora borealis comes in view;
Aurora comes in view.

[theryugobuddy]

This was a huge 80's alt-hit --great MTV video, too--

a little more:

I walked along the avenue.
I never thought Id meet a girl like you;
Meet a girl like you.
With auburn hair and tawny eyes;
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through;
Hypnotize me through.

[Amy]

And I ran....I ran so far away...

Is that Flock of Seagulls?

Gotta love the 80s.

[theryugobuddy]

Bingo Amy -- you gotta challenge?

[rplace]

Jeff, I cannot die. Get the crash cart stat! We need a softball to revive this thing. No post form Amy and I knew the "Flock" tune so here goes.

I told your mamma I'd get you home but I didn't tell her I had no car
I saw a lion he was standing alone with a tadpole in a jar.

Come on Michael get on this one!

[Jeff Matthews]

Looks like nobody knows Motown.

Yours is "Dancing Days" by Zep.

Next:

"Your dog keeps licking my nose
And chewing up all those letters"

Name that Tune!

[Ray Garrison]

We're starting to repeat here... I think Who's You Better You Bet has already been done, so've Flock of Seagulls...

I see we started a Motown thread. Haven't checked it out yet, will. how about a Contemporary thread? Anybody here recognize "My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb, and all I remember is thinking "I want to be like them..." (*GREAT* song...)

[Joe Shmoe]

No idea Ray, but here's my contribution...

"This thorn in my side, it's from the tree i planted"

[Olorin]

Heh, that'll be Metallica, "Bleeding Me." This one should be

easy, hope it's not a repeat --

Sweet the sin

Bitter the taste in my mouth

I see seven towers

But I only see one way out

You got to cry without weeping

Talk without speaking

Scream without raising your voice

[rplace]

Hey O how you been? Long time no see!

I am 99% sure that is a U2 song....guessing J.Tree album. It is really bugging me because I can hear it in my head but can't come up with the name. I'll be racking my brain for a few minutes then return with the title.

EDIT got it "Running to Stand Still" My first thought was "One Tree Hill"

Nice challenge. Very familiar, but not too obvious.

When I walked in through the door
Thought it was me I was looking for
She was the first song I ever sang
But it stopped as soon as it began

[twheats1]

Off of "Who's Next" Song Is Over

Let's see if anyone remembers this,

"I pulled into Nazareth, I was feeling about half past dead."

"I just need some place where I can lay my head."

[oldtimer]

Take a load off granny, etc

The Weight--The Band.

When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go

[oldtimer]

If this one is not solved, it proves that no one is playing.

[theryugobuddy]

One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small...

Cool tune -- White Rabbit

I'm glad this thing got revived, Oldtimer --

how about this:

She keeps moet et chandon
In her pretty cabinet
let them eat cake she says
Just like marie antoinette
A built-in remedy
For kruschev and kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You cant decline

Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

[twheats1]

Queen's "Killer Queen"

How about,

"I was just 34 years old and I was still wandering in a haze.

Wondering why everyone I met seemed likethey were lost in a maze."

[rplace]

Peat T. with out the Who. "Slit Skirt"

Great tune.

It's a God awful small affair
To the girl with the
mousey hair

[Ray Garrison]

Cool song...
