Name that Song

Chales · Guest

You know the drill...

I've long since retired, my son's moved away.
I called him up just the other day.
'I'd like to see you, if you don't mind.'
He said, 'I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time.
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu,
But it's sure nice talkin' to you, Dad.
It's been sure nice talkin' to you.'
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
He'd grown up just like me.
My boy was just like me.

cats in the cradle...jim croce or ugly kid joe

never been here
never coming back
never want to think about the things that happened today
wanna lay down
on the warm ground
think im gonna need
a little time to myself
dont fall down now
you will never get up

Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin ... I didn't know who the artist was, but I knew the song title and looked it up on google...

And now's the time the time is now
To sing my song.
I'm goin' 'round the world,
I got to find my girl, on my way.
I've been this way ten years to the day, Ramble On,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

since dees got my everclear one so fast

time to challenge you guys....

The first time I met the devil was at a motel 6
She left hell to spend her weekends on earth just for kicks
Sexy little bi@#$, shorter then expected
About 5 foot 5, didn't fit in the breast and thighs
Beautiful dark eyes, a strong stare
Large lips, soft hands and long hair
I said I'd make you smile for the simple fact I'm good at it
I said I'd make you smile just so I can sit and look at it

I will show you all you need to know
You must hold on to anyone that wants you
And I will love you through the simple and the struggle
But girl, you got to understand the modern man must hustle

as a little hint...this song comes from my home state of minnesota

Thanks...i know how to look stuff up on the web! who hoo! I havent ever heard of that band. how do you know about them?? is it a local band? or am i just lost?

Now, roll them cases out and lift them amps
Haul them trusses down and get 'em up them ramps
'Cause when it comes to moving me
You know you guys are the champs
But when that last guitar's been packed away
You know that I still want to play
So just make sure you've got it all set to go
Before you come for my piano

But the band's on the bus
And they're waiting to go
We've got to drive all night and do a show in Chicago
Or Detroit, I don't know
We do so many shows in a row
And these towns all look the same
We just pass the time in our hotel rooms
And wander 'round backstage
Till those lights come up and we hear that crowd
And we remember why we came

Now we got country and western on the bus, R & B
We got disco on eight tracks and cassettes in stereo
We've got rural scenes and magazines
We got truckers on CB
We got Richard Pryor on the video
And we got time to think of the ones we love
While the miles roll away
But the only time that seems too short
Is the time that we get to play

People you've got the power over what we do
You can sit there and wait or you can pull us through
Come along, sing the song
You know you can't go wrong
'Cause when that morning sun comes beating down
You're going to wake up in your town
But we'll be scheduled to appear
A thousand miles away from here

Here's a good one i dont think anyone will get....

i like my room a mess
i confess
it's the stress
of you sitting over there
sitting in my rocking chair
back and forth and back and forth and back
come on now cut some slack
i'm going stark raving mad
and you're so very bad
to do what you do
your old tricks are new to me
i'm so easy
i'm an airhead when it's breezy
i don't like it if it's cheezy
but your scent makes me dizzy
it's time to get busy
'cause we have all day
come outside and we'll play

ooo... I didn't understand that this wasn't an actual question that it was like the game, "name that tune" ...SORRY... forgive me? lol... next time I think I'll just keep my mouth shut...BTW I just like the bold and red and things like that, I like being different, not tryin to be "almighty" or "smacking you around" ... SHEEZ people are harsh! lol

ryan better know this one!!!

i kno she said its alright
u can make it up next time
i kno she knos its not right
there ain't no use in lying
maybe she thinksi know something
maybe maybe she thinks its fine
maybe she knows something i don't
im so, im so tired, im so tired of trying

it seems to me that maybe
it pretty much always means no
so dont tell me u might just let it go
and often times we're lazy
it seems to stand in my way
cause no one no not no one
likes to be let down

here's another one

Every now and then I think about you
And it makes me, it breaks me
Out of you and into me, I'll make it
So take a look at what you do to my head
When you're leaving, I'm breathing
Out of me and into you, I feel sick
I feel sick

Now that you're leaving
It complicates our lives
But I am the reason
That I will stay alive

Every now and then I dream about you
I've lost the feeling, it's dead skin
I will never be dependent again
And every now and then I think about you
It's bringing me closer to closure
Every now and then I know it's over
It's over

audiovent - the energy.. just heard that song on the radio a couple mintues ago

Seth Martin · Moderator Joined: 12 Jan 2003 Posts: 891 City: Orlando

yall make it too easy posting the whole song.

guess this one - just a sample lyric

"I won't and I don't hang up until I please her
Makin' her feel like an over achiever
I take it away for a minute just to tease her
Then I give it back a little bit deeper"

"She said I don't believe you're tryin' to find no job
Said I seen you today you was standin' on a corner
Leaning up against a post
I said but I'm tired, I've been walkin all day"

okay, okay...i was gonna edit my last post and put this in it but i have no idea how

so here goes...try this one...one of my favorite songs of all time

Say hello
Remain
Close to me
No good-bye suicide mystery

The rat
In your brain
Turns a wheel
Connected to your guts and
All your faults are in me
And all your faults in me

What would you say
If we lived on TV
Besides all the things they told you to
And all the things they told you to

We're stuck
Inside our own machine
Apparitions
