JollySipper Posted March 20, 2020 Author Posted March 20, 2020 Here's an obscure one by a pretty well known group.... Well, who you think you're foolin'? You say you're having fun, but You're really going nowhere, Just lying in the Sun....

Though you feel that your life's become a catastrophe, oh it has to be, for you to grow. Boy..... and when you look through the years and see what you could have been, oh what you might have been, if you had had more time.... Edited March 24, 2020 by JollySipper
iamsuperdan Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 I know that's an early 80s rock band. Not metal. Like Boston or Journey or something. Hmm...

JollySipper Posted April 11, 2020 Author Posted April 11, 2020 You guys will never guess this one....... You awaken with a start, with just the beating of your heart, Just one man beneath the sky, just to live is just too wise.......

Expand I had to look it up for certain, but it sounded vaguely familiar. "Childhood's End" by Pink Floyd. It was from the "Obscured by Clouds" album in '72 and was the last song to be entirely composed by David Gilmour until after the band's break up. Steve
StevenGuthmiller Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Here's one from one of my favorite bands from the late '70s. They completely lost me in the '80s. "You're feeling cross and wavy, on the edge of the cuff. You're pushing and popping, you can't get enough. You wish that it was over, you never slow down. You're looking for kicks, there's nothing around." Steve
DonW Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 You Can't Hold On Too Long, The Cars. Back to the bone: 'Cos that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live forever....'

Gumball Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 I have a few but ill start with something easy (if you live in Canada that is) That night in Toronto With its checkerboard floors Riding on horseback And keeping order restored 'Til The Men They Couldn't Hang Stepped to the mic and sang And their voices… to me, it seems like to me that there is a lot of people outside of Canada who don't know this band, there a pretty good band although they are played to death over here.
Gumball Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Here's another one, Her face is cracked from smiling All the fears that she's been hiding And it seems that pretty soon, everybody's gonna know
Gumball Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 and finally, Lightning crash on the hill tonight (yeah) I got a feeling everything's gonna be all right Then a horse came running to me Said we're gonna go to the sanctuary Then a storm began to blow Duh nuh nuh na nuh nuh

Dimension from their self-titled album.
Hotrod 97 Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Here’s an interesting alternative rock song... Call you up in the middle of the night Like a firefly without a light You were there like a blowtorch burning I was a key that could use a little turning

Expand You are correct! The song is called Runaway Train by Soul Asylum. It was pretty high up on the charts when it was released. It even topped the Canada Top Singles chart for a bit in 1993-94.
Hotrod 97 Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Here’s another one: And we leave it all behind Can’t you see we need some time? And we all sit around the fire We feel a little warmer now And we all sit around the fire We feel so much better now

I'm curious to see if anyone gets the other two I put up. As for that last song you posted above I'd say you stumped me. Edited May 12, 2020 by Gumball
