Name the song

Journey From Eden ~ The Steve Miller Band.

Lighthouse beacon straight ahead
Straight ahead across black seas to bring, seeking electricity

High voltage man kisses night
To bring the light to those who need to hide their shadow deed
Hide their shadow deed
High voltage man kisses night
To bring the light to those who need to hide their shadow deed
Hide their shadow deed...

Cheers, og
 
'Electricity' Captain Beefheart

You might have heard my footsteps
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
As I ran searching after something to believe in
You might have seen me running
Through the long-abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathing
 
Elusive Butterfly -- Bob Lind.

Clouds so swift
Rain won't lift
Gate won't close
Railing's froze
Get your mind off wintertime
You ain't goin' nowhere.

Whoo-wee, ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair.
 
You Ain't Goin' Nowhere - Bob Dylan.

[DNU... You prob. won't need to look this one up; but the above reminded me of three of the coolest lines, ever...]

Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen...

Cheers, og
 
Lay, Lady, Lay - Bob Dylan

You'll find self control if find salvation, blood and fire purge your mind, ultimate satisfaction
 
Impulsation ~ Mortification.

When I'm ridin' round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
And I'm tryin' to make some girl
Who tells me baby better come back, maybe next week;
'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak...

Cheers, og
 
Satisfaction - Rolling Stones
(or, is it wrong that I heard the Devo cover in my head first?)

Well I know karate, Voodoo too
I'm gonna make myself available to you
I don't need no make up
I got real scars
I got hair on my chest
I look good without a shirt
 
Goin' Out West - Tom Waits

Standing at the crossroads, trying to read the signs
To tell me which way I should go to find the answer,
And all the time I know,
 
Let It Grow ~ Eric Clapton.

And it really doesn't matter if
I'm wrong I'm right
Where I belong I'm right
Where I belong
See the people standing there
Who disagree and never win
And wonder why they don't get in my door...

Cheers, og
 
Fixing a Hole - The Beatles

At my bedside empty pocket
A foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock
Alarmed by the seduction
I wish that it would stop
 
Tempted -- The Squeeze.

Oooh, when you smile it's like a holiday
Oooh, pack your bags and we can get away
We'll float on a Queen down to Rio
There's no need to shave
We'll be stinking like rum in a punch.
 
Feel The Benefit ~ 10cc (listening to it right now - for the very first time!).

Sometime you had to fall
Don't you know sometime you want to cry
Don't it make you feel so bad sometime
You wanna lay down and die...

Cheers, og
 
Sometimes When We Touch - Dan Hill


Out among free-range sheep
While the big birds sharpen their claws.
For a time we stuck with the Shepherd
But You wouldn't play Santa Claus
 
Lost The Plot ~ Peter Furler.

Businessmen, they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody of it is worth
Hey!"

"No reason to get excited"
The thief, he kindly spoke
"There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke

But you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour's getting late...

Cheers, og
 
All Along the Watchtower - Bob Dylan

I don’t believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you.”
 
Into My Arms - Nick Cave

There came to the gay tenderloin
A Jay who money to 'boyn'.
The poor simple soul
Showed a girlie his roll,
And she said, "For some wine dear, I 'yoyn'."

A bottle and bird right away;
She touched him and said, "I can't stay."
He sighed "Tell me sweet,
Where can you and I meet?"
And the orchestra started to play...

[Hint: it's older than you or I are]
 
Meet Me In St. Louis, Louis ~ Billy Murray (1904).

I never was a one to go and stint myself
If I like a thing, I like it - that's enough
But there's lots of people say that if you like a thing a lot
It'll grow on you, and all that sort of stuff!I always hold in having it if you fancy it
If you fancy it, that's understood
And suppose it makes you fat - I don't worry over that
'Cos a little of what you fancy does you good!

Cheers, og
 
A LITTLE OF WHAT YOU FANCY DOES YOU GOOD - Marie Lloyd


Who is to blame in what country? Never can get to the one, dealing in multiplication and they still can't feed everyone
 
Electric Avenue -- Eddy Grant.

Her daddy was a lazy no-'count
Claimed he had a bad back
And all her brothers was fit for
Was stealin' watermelons
Outta my truck patch.
