Name that Oldie But Goodie! (2)

[Handmaid for Jesus]

Haaaaaaaang on Sloopy

next tune

Talking to myself and feeling old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hanging around
Nothing to do but frown

 

[joyshirley]

Rainy Days and Mondays.....Carpenters

I had to google in the end

 

[joyshirley]

Here's a new one.....


Lost
On a painted sky
Where the clouds are hung
For the poet's eye

 

[If Not For Grace]

Skip a Rope
Henson Cargill

 

[~ Gig ~]

Googled it. Reason no response is most likely because it is not an oldie, but a country song.

I Want You To Want Me--Dwight Yoakam

Right song wrong artist....Cheap Trick 1977

YouTube - Cheap Trick - I Want You To Want Me - from Budokan DVD

 

[Handmaid for Jesus]

So who gets to post the next tune.

 

[gratefulgrace]

It should be IF NOT FOR GRACE I think

 

[gratefulgrace]

I will have a turn then
Even though a cloud’s white curtain in a far off corner flashed
And the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting

 

[gratefulgrace]

Wow either this thread got buried big time or I posted a toughie. The song is:
Chimes of Freedom-Bob Dylan
But my favourite version is by the Byrds who did a ton of BD stuff especially on their debut album.

Anyone, please feel free to post lyrics I will pass th torch.

 

[Handmaid for Jesus]

When the sun beats down
And there's a tar up on the roof
And your feet get so hot
You wish your tired feet were fireproof

Up On the Roof by the Drifters
New Lyrics
Oh, I'm beginning to think that man has never found
The words that could make you want me
That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound
That could make you hear, make you see
That you are driving me out of my mind

One of my favs! Cherish, by the Associaton

As soon as I have some money,
A home and everything;
We won't have to keep it a secret
That you've got my wedding ring.

As soon as I have some money,
A home and everything;
We won't have to keep it a secret
That you've got my wedding ring.

Well I got a hammer,
And I got a bell,
And I got a song to sing, all over this land.

Answer--Dream Lover--Bobby Darin

This song was covered by Dion and the Del Satins; but Bobby's version is the best known.

Let's try this one, just for fun!

What's with this comb caper, baby? Why do you wanna latch up
with my comb?
I just want you to stop combing your hair...& kiss me. You're
the maximum utmost.
Well, I beans & I dreams goin', I'm movin' right now
'Cause that's the kind of scene that I dig...baby, you're the
ginchiest!

Kookie Kookie Lend Me Your Comb-Edward Byrnes

After a storm there must be a calm.
They catch me in the farm. You sound the alarm.
