Lyrics Game

[duane]

Sigh… I’m bored. I’ve never started a thread on any forum, but I feel like we all could use a challenge. So, anybody wanna guess what song this set of lyrics come from? My only request is that we don’t get too obscure- don’t make me break out Mr Cabbage Head and the Screamig Radishes!
Here it goes. What song is this from? Need song and artist please.

If you find yourself standing at the end of your line
looking for a piece of something maybe a piece of mind
fed up, lost, and run down nowhere to hold on
tired of, take your place at the end son we’ll get to you one by one

From one to ten on the difficulty scale, this one’s seems about a 6 to me (and a one for SG). Good luck!

Grindstone by Uncle Tupelo

We had an older thread on this game awhile ago:

"I got a driveaway car in Georgia
and baby boy there`s two lines in the road
one to leave you lonely and other one to leave you alone"

Any guesses?

Whew! Goin’ deep! It’s a Richard Buckner song I think but, I dunno which one. To be honest, I cheated a little bit and asked my all knowing buddy. Is this correct?

[duane]

I live cement, I hate this street
Give dirt to me, I bite lament
This human form, Where I was born
I now repent

This one should be a slam dunk.

Quote:

All the young people down the ages
They gladly marched off to die
Proud city fathers used to watch them
Tears in their eyes

[duane]

Oh yeah! Now we’re talkin’.
That’s The Call Up by The Clash. I got lucky too, as that’s the ONLY Clash album I own! Took me a while to get it though, I went through plenty of Sex Pistols and was about to give up. Good one.
Something about listening to The Clash that makes me want to drink and fight…. lol

Try this one.

No time frame for what I need to do today
Here at the yellow house, I think I’m gonna play
With some free livin’ lands down the street aways away

That’s a hard one, Duane. Here’s an easy one from a pop song, 2001:

You cannot quit me so quickly
Is no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But I got all the time for you, love

Awww, c’mon. I, for one, welcome the challenge!
I loved digging through my Allison Krauss and Buck Ownes records to look for the lyrics SG posted earlier in this thread (Good one, SG, by the way!) and wondering what Sex Pistols song Bufo Alvarius posted, even though I was way off track. Guess I’m just lookin for any excuse to talk about music….

Oh, and thats Dave Matthews to answer your post.

Nobody?….I figured the left coasters would jump on this one. Love the story behind this song…

thats blind melon isnt it?? paper scratcher??

[Bucky Ramone]

close…

t is Blind Melon, but the song is Sleepyhouse…

now this one:

Now his friend leans over and says
Looks like we got us a fag
I wonder if that guy’s read one word
That wasn’t in a porno mag

And I wonder if he ever has cried

Cause his kitten got run over and died

He’s got his arms around every man’s dream
And crumbs in his beard from the seafood special

[crazycloud]

that would be , Fountains of Wayne – Leave the Biker !!!!

how bout this one

Just like a willow tree
A breath of spring you see
And oh boy you don’t know what she do to me
