Name those lyrics

[big_bubba]

Here's an idea. Try to stump people with lyrics from classic rock songs from the 60s to the 80s. I'll start:


Annihilation
Kill 'em all
Capitulation
Watch the mighty fall
The road to glory
Is lined in red
And though the reason now is gone
The battle rages on

[MVmfinP]

Deep Purple - The Battle Rages On


Well she's walking through the clouds,
with a circus mind
that's running wild.
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
and fairly tales,
that's all she ever thinks about...

[gibingus]

jimi hendrix - little wing


Look out of any window
any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
birds are winging or
rain is falling from a heavy sky -
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
this is all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago...

[Jim Kata]

Box of Rain - The Grateful Dead

edit: I didn't see the CLASSIC ROCK part so I took out Phil Collins and had to substitute with this easy one.

Now, when I was just a little boy/
Standin’ to my daddy’s knee/
My poppa said, "son, don’t let the man get you/
Do what he done to me."
’cause he’ll get ya/
’cause he’ll get ya now, now

And I can remember the fourth of july/
Runnin’ through the backwood, bare/
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin’/
Chasin’ down a hoodoo there/
Chasin’ down a hoodoo there.

Born on the Bayou - CCR


'Cause it's time, it's time in time with your time and its news is captured
For the queen to use.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit
Didda.
Don't surround yourself with yourself,
Move on back two squares,
Send an Instant Karma to me,
Initial it with loving care

[lumpenprole]

Yes.
I've seen all good people

80's classic rock eh?

Not about to see a light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
'Till you're bleeding

[Scratch]

Danzig - Mother

We sailed away
We walked two thousand miles and then we slipped away
We looked so hard
But couldn't seem to find just what the world was for
Now we know
Just what the journey's for

[monkeydriven]

Zebra - Who's Behind the Door



Then we race together. We can ride forever
Wrapped in horsepower, driving into fury
Changing gear I pull you tighter to me

[Sleepyjack]

Judas Preist Turbo Lover

"A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast 'n bulbous, got me"

[denton]

Captain Beefheart - Pachuco Cadaver

"Learn to work, the saxophone...
and I play just what I feel...
Drink scotch whiskey, all night long...
and die behind the wheel"

[Donkeypuncher]

Steely Dan - Deacon Blues

"Greetings from Sodom, how we wish you were here
The weather's getting warmer now that the trees are all cleared
No time for a conscience and we recognize no crime
Yeah, we've got dogs and Valvoline, it's a pretty damned good time"

[marken]

"Last Plane Out" - Patrick Leonard/Kevin Gilbert

While you were out...
the message says
You left a number
and I tried to call
But they wrote it down
in a perfect Spanish scrawl
in a perfect Spanish scrawl

[Scratch]

"Sometimes I feel like screaming" Deep Purple

God knows, I've tried
To hold you with all my might
But time has won
And I can never be that strong

[warrrreagl]

Bittersweet, by either Hole or Hoodoo Gurus.


Come down on your own and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years.
Somebody holds the key.

[Kaos]

Wasn't the point of this to not reveal the band, only post lyrics to stump people?

[warrrreagl]

I don't see where the point of this was to ignore the band either. What difference does that make?

Since the thread is titled "name those lyrics," I'm guessing pretty much everyone decided the point was to... name those lyrics. So, no... the point wasn't to not reveal the band.
