[pes_laul]

[.overdrive_rewind]

Close enough - F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X. by Fall of Troy.

[ted s]

Bump, ok it's been a few days.. try this..

The icy sky at night
Paddles cut the water
In a long and hurried flight
From the white man to the fields of green
And the homeland we've never seen.

They killed us in our tepee
And they cut our women down
They might have left some babies
Cryin' on the ground
But the firesticks and the wagons come
And the night falls on the setting sun.

They massacred the buffalo
Kitty corner from the bank
The taxis run across my feet
And my eyes have turned to blanks
In my little box at the top of the stairs
With my Indian rug and a pipe to share.

[Tone2TheBone]

I should know this song.......

[R_of_G]

Yes Tone, you prob should know it...

It's "Pocohontas" by Neil Young, is it not Ted?

[ted s]

ding ding ding.. you are correct R_G. I was going for Free Bird but it was already taken.

You're up.

[R_of_G]

The broken glass
And the rusty nails
Where the violets grow
Say goodbye to the railroad
And the mad dogs of summer
And everything that I know

What some men will do here for diamonds
What some men will do here for gold
They're wounded but they just keep on climbin'
And they sleep by the side of the road

There's a hole in the ladder
A fence we can climb
Mad as a hatter
You're thin as a dime
Go out to the meadow
The hills are agreen
Sing me a rainbow
Steal me a dream

Small time Napoleon
Shatters his knees
But he stays in the saddle for Rose
And all his disciples
They shave in the gutter
And gather what's left of his clothes

What some men will do here for diamonds
What some men will do here for gold
They're wounded but they just keep on climbin'
And they sleep by the side of the road

There's a hole in the ladder
A fence we can climb
Mad as a hatter
You're thin as a dime
Go out to the meadow
The hills are agreen
Sing me a rainbow
Steal me a dream

[Tone2TheBone]

Dang I was this close! :

ok, so nobody knows "Diamonds & Gold" by Tom Waits from the classic "Rain Dogs" album. That's a shame. The track features some great guest guitar work from Keith Richards.

so, here is my last "guess the song" entry of 2007. another one i think is a bit of a slow pitch right over the plate but what the hell do i know? anyway, here goes... btw, this is one of my all-time fav songs and a HELL of a lot of fun to try to play...
------------------------
Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest
From the all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that?
What's that?

When I am King you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that?
What's that?

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking-squealing Gucci little piggy
You don't remember,
You don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head man,
Off with his head,
Why don't he remember my name?
I guess he does

Rain down, rain down
C'mon rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height

That's it sir
You're leaving
The crackle of pigskin
The dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking
The panic, the vomit
The panic, the vomit
God loves his children, God loves his children, yeah!

[sunvalleylaw]

Well, no takers on that one so I am jumping back in. Here is one I hope is not too hard.

When success is equated with excess
The ambition for excess wrecks us
As top of the mind becomes the bottom line
When success is equated with excess

If your time ain't been nothing for money
I start to feel really bad for you, honey
Maybe honey, put your money where your mouth's been running
If your time ain't been nothing but money

I want out of this machine
It doesn't feel like freedom

This ain't my American dream
I want to live and die for bigger things
I'm tired of fighting for just me
This ain't my American dream

[Algonquin]

Ummm.... Freebird?

[sunvalleylaw]

Clue, check my latest post. ;-0

[R_of_G]

in the event anybody cares, the song in my previous post was radiohead's "paranoid android." some of the ones nobody gets make me feel sad for some of the guitar playing you aren't hearing.

[ted s]

Hmm, I've never really paid much attention to Radiohead, maybe I should ?

[sunvalleylaw]

I'll pay attention and listen. Radiohead is one of those I had not got to yet. If you don't mind, would you please post a summary list of your favorite '07 releases in my '07 thread so I can look back in the "have you heard" posts and choose some new things to listen to.


BTW, mine was "American Dream" by Switchfoot as linked in my favorite music of '07 thread.

Bump..... its been a couple days so try this

When we were young our future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big and not be beat

Now our neighborhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives

Chances blown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
(Whoa!)

Jamie had a chance, well she really did
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot

Jay committed suicide
Brandon OD'd and died
What the hell is going on
The cruelest dream, reality

Chances blown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Chances blown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

[Algonquin]

My answer in video form...



Great song Kris... That one got a lot of play around here!

[ted s]

Hmmm... strange.

Well my answer in writing would be 'The kids aren't allright' by The Offspring.

Correct Pes?...
