colterphoto1 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 It's definitely the Who again, but I won't guess, having just spent the afternoon with my collection to get the Pure and Easy answer. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rplace Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Dr. Jimmy - The Who. I like the line ...he only comes out when I drink my gin It is from Quadrophenia an album every lad should own. Let's see if we can't stick with that album for a bit...this has to be the easiest one, we will get harder as we go along. Get out your scooters and Mod clothes. Where is Sting when you need him? Only loveCan make it rainThe way the beach is kissed by the sea.Only loveCan make it rainLike the sweat of lovers'Laying in the fields.

rplace Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Pinball Wizard - I guess we are done with Quadrophenia then [] Acording to Pete this song was their biggest commercial success...that saddens me, because there are so many better Who songs I want those feeble minded axes overthrownI'm not into your passport picture I just like your noseYou welcome me with open arms and open legsI know only fools have needs but this one never begs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 "You Better You Bet" by The Who. Next: "Some outlaws lived by the side of a lakeThe ministers daughters in love with the snakeWho lives in a well by the side of the roadWake up, girl, were almost home." Name that Tune!

rplace Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hmmmm Jeff, for some reason that just does not sound like a Who song. I guess that has run its course. Outlwas and snakes sounds like more Skynyrd/Hatchet/.38special/etc. I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Nope. None of those. Hint: This is a real rocker, with a twinge of "new wave" sound, by a Californian band on their album released in 1968. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 The give-away is the line about the snake. I am the lizard king, I can do anything, I can make the blue cars go away..

rplace Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Wow, now I am both confused and amazed. As soon as I saw Coulter's lyrics of: Dead president's corpse in the driver's car The engine runs on glue and tar I knew it was a doors song and thought I knew the title...looked it up and BAM Jeff's lyrics that I did not know at all were in there. Whats-up-with-that? Crazy how part of a song is instantly recognizable and other parts are not. EDIT: So who is up? I say CP1 goes again. Not to touch the earthNot to see the sunNothing left to do, butRun, run, runLet's runLet's runHouse upon the hillMoon is lying stillShadows of the treesWitnessing the wild breezeC'mon baby run with meLet's runRun with meRun with meRun with meLet's runThe mansion is warm, at the top of the hill **Coulter's lyricsRich are the rooms and the comforts thereRed are the arms of luxuriant chairsAnd you won't know a thing till you get insideDead president's corpse in the driver's carThe engine runs on glue and tarCome on along, not goin' very farTo the East to meet the CzarRun with meRun with meRun with meLet's runWhoa!Some outlaws lived by the side of a lake **Jeff's lyricsThe minister's daughter's in love with the snakeWho lives in a well by the side of the roadWake up, girl, we're almost homeYa, c'mon!We should see the gates by mornin'We should be inside the evenin'Sun, sun, sunBurn, burn, burnSoon, soon, soonMoon, moon, moonI will get youSoon!Soon!Soon!I am the Lizard KingI can do anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Matthews Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Okay, Rich, we've had our double dose of The Doors - and accomplished it in only one song. [] You're up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 I guess Rich is out of pocket. Try this: "Across the sea there came a multitude, sailing ships upon the waveFilled with visions of Utopia, and the freedom that they craveRavage, plunder, see no wonder, rape and kill and tear asunderChop the forest, plow it under....."

Jeff Matthews Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 I kind of knew my challenge would be more difficult, but it really is a cool song by a prominent-enough band. Here's a hint. The song is on the band's "Best of." If you follow the yellow brick road, it should take you there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
