The 70's lyrics game

[KansasSooner]

Bump before yoga buries it. It's a cool thread, but I had to look this one up. Somebody should know it. I should have known it.

Guess you don't remember things that well...

Less every day. It's a great tune (just listened to it again), by a top 3 all-time band I think most would agree (there's a hint), but more for the tune than the lyrics and those 2 lines don't exactly jump out at you. Anyway here they are again -

Do you still do the twist
Do you find you remember things that well

 

[KansasSooner]

those 2 lines don't exactly jump out at you

Strange, I have them in my head most days. I thought they were the lead in to the best part of the song...

I got a freaky ole lady name a cocaine Katy
Who embroiders on my jeans
I got my poor ole grey haired daddy
Drivin' my limousine

Dr. John --- Right Place, Wrong Time





"His old guitar slung across his back
His dusty boots is his cadillac
Flamin' hair just a blowin' in the wind
Ain't seen a bed in so long it's a sin"

Highway Chile - Jimi Hendrix (but it's not a 70s song...came out in 1967)

Took my family away from my Carolina home
Had dreams about the West and started to roam
Six long months on a dust covered trail
They say heaven's at the end but so far it's been hell

Fire on the Mountain - Marshall Tucker Band

Oh, Baby what you gonna do?
I what to know what you gonna do sweet thing?
Oh, Have another hit of sweet love in the morning
Oh, Have another hit...

Fresh Air - Quicksilver Messenger Service



You know all the tales we tell, you know the band so well
Still I feel, somehow, we let you down
We went off somewhere on the way and now I see we have to pay
The rock n' roll circus is in town

Mott the Hoople ....the Ballad of Mott ^


"Though I try to find the answer
To all the questions they ask
Though I know it's impossible
To go living through the past"

Natural Mystic - Bob Marley

An easy one...

And we'll fill in the missing colors
In each other's paint-by-number dreams
And then we'll put out dark glasses on
And we'll make love until our strength is gone

The Pretender - Jackson Browne


Moonrise, thoughtful eyes
Staring back at me from the window besides
No fright, or hindsight
Leaving behind that empty feeling inside

"The Lights Go Down - They're Back In Town O.K.
Behind The Stacks You Glimpse An Axe
The Tension Mounts You Score An Ounce Ole!
Temperatures Rise As You See The White Of Their Eyes"

Rock Show - Paul McCartney and Wings


"Well, I read some books, and I read some magazines
About those high-class ladies down in New Orleans
And all the folks back home, well, said I was a fool
They said, oh, believe in the Lord is the golden rule"

Honky Cat - Elton John ^


"Oh my hands were tied as I struggled inside
The empty waste of another day
Memories were blank to my eyes
The fire and the glory of that night
Seemed safely locked away
Too hungry to rise......ohhh too hungry to"

18th Avenue Cat Stevens


The old Nashville cowboy was burdened with time
He was bent by his years and the fight with the wine
With a head full of music and an old nursery rhyme
And a heart full of sadness and dark sunken nights

He told me they cheated, he told me they stole
The strength from his youth and the songs from his soul
He said he was family til he got too old
And he called them miners, mother load finders
Diggin so deep in search of more gold
