Ray Garrison Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 My LP's are boxed up after a recent move, so can't look at it right now, but I think that was by Genesis on the album with the fox hunt cover - title Willow Farm? From, uh '71? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olorin Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 That's Peter Gabriel by himself from his "So" album, the song title is "We do What We're Told (Milgram's 37)." Gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Supper's Ready - I heard on the radio yesterday that they might reunite w/ Gabriel, apparently Collins is fine with playing the drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olorin Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 That's Pink Floyd "Have a Cigar," but you haven't answered mine. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 That's Pink Floyd "Have a Cigar," but you haven't answered mine. :-) Sorry, thought Ray had guessed wrong based on Jeff's lyrics, gotta think on yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olorin Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Next bit, written to look more like the song's meter . . . ought to make it easier to get. Deaf dumb and blind you just keep on pretendin' that everyone's expendable and no-one is a real friend And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner Everything's done under the sun and you believe at heart everyone's a killer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olorin Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Okay, first verse, and if nobody has it by midmorning I'll come up with something new. OYABTW, it's the same band that did "Have a Cigar." Young folks will get it when pigs fly. You've got to be crazy You gotta have a real need You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street You've got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed Then moving in silently downwind and out of sight you've got to strike when the moment is right without thinking Then after a while you can work on points for style like a club tie, and a firm handshake, a subtle look in the eye and an easy smile You've got to be trusted by the people that you lie to so that when they turn their backs on you you'll get the chance to put the knife in Colter will know this one. Get his Klipsch-collecting butt in here to pick it off. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksonbart Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 This should be quick "I'm a lot like you I need someone to love me the whole day through Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true. Lullabies, look in your eyes, Run around the same old town. Doesn't mean that much to me To mean that much to you. I've been first and last Look at how the time goes past. But I'm all alone at last. Rolling home to you." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olorin Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Good catch, JB. Was is the "pigs fly" bit that gave it away? ;-) That's Neil Young, "Old Man." Thanks for posting that, it reminded me of one I've been meaning to put up. Old man lyin' by the side of the road with the lorries rolling by Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load and the buildings scrape the sky Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn and the morning paper flies Dead man lyin' by the side of the road with the daylight in his eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Sorry Ray, Olorin got the title correct. Olorin, good tune, Don't Let it Bring You Down- Neil Young again along the same theme, should be quick "Come a little bit closer Hear what I have to say Just like children sleepin' We could dream this night away. But there's a full moon risin' Let's go dancin' in the light We know where the music's playin' Let's go out and feel the night. Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olorin Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 . . . on this harvest moon . . . Great album -- played it last weekend while I worked on my truck. The fortunes of fables are able to song the song Now witness the quickness with which we get along Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice . . .

jacksonbart Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Nice transition to CSNY, one of my favorites I have this on a DTS 96/24 CD, Another Stoney Evening "I thought I had everything and now Im left without a hand to hold But its all right Im O.K. How are you? For what its worth I must say I loved you And in my bed late at night, I miss you Someone is going to take my heart But no one is going to break my heart again" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I should be more specific its just CN, written by N originally from the album Songs for the Beginners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I guess the last one was too obscure, it was Graham Nash's I used to be a King form the album Songs for Beginners. Here is a much easier one: "She would never say where she came from Yesterday don't matter if it's gone While the sun is bright Or in the darkest night No one knows She comes and goes" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
