- Phil Collins “In the air tonight.”
New page, time for an update. I don’t know how long I can keep this up.
- It’s not a question of your personality or style
- Yet there’s still this appeal that
- stay away from that window boy… it’s not
- fair skinned and precious as a child
- Face down in the gutter, won’t admit defeat, though his…
- Eyes sealed shut in a slumber, 'till we hear someone…
- I’m gonna slip into the field like Han Solo
- Then the shiny serving clones run in with my telephones
- “Nothing can erase this night…”
- Your mother and your children they are not your biggest
- She drives a lavender Lexus
- Flimsy as it is, it’s business-like
- she take me money and run Jamaica.
- Grab your things, we’ve come to take you home
- I can see another face, I can see another face
116 “Your general subject, love, is minimal. It’s sex for profit.”
118 Sun comes up, another day begins, and I don’t even - Sunsets come and sunsets go, the clouds float by…
- My darling left me this morning and I didn’t know…
- …Beijing flu, and you choose then not to come home
- Every day my mind is all around you
- You won’t rely on open eyes to see
- The desert’s quiet and Cleveland’s cold
- No local yokel gonna shut me down
- What if there were two, side by side in orbit?
- I’m a professional cynic, but my heart’s not in it.
- And five hundred more were thrashing madly, as parasites might…
- His eyes go funny, you can’t place why
- To be in England in the summertime with my love
- Ring the bells of Rhymney 'til they ring inside my head
- Now he’s combing through every ounce of trash
- Hasn’t stopped raining for days
- And normally I’d be upstaging the host
154 asked, 36 outstanding. Not bad.
I can’t answer a single one. I think the younguns have gotten control.
But I knew Suykiaki and Brickhouse. I’m old and slow.
some of those have been answered, you need to go back and weed them out ;j
Sure. Just as soon as we’re down to about 10.
Okay, I think 77, 83, 103, 104, 106, 107, 138, 140, 145, and 150, and 152 were identified. That leaves:

I’m sure there are a few more on here that shouldn’t be, but someone else can do it next time. Great thread, Biggirl!
Left off the one that’s driving me nuts…
- Let’s take a walk with no point or no purpose
For the two songs of mine which have not been guessed, the next line for each song is:
132a. Looking out from my lonely room

and 141 I answered already, so take that one of the list, too
(I feel like I’m starting to sound snippy. If I do, I don’t mean it, I swear!)
- Every day my mind is all around you
132a. Looking out from my lonely room

163. "So you’re Brad Pitt?"

A hint for 112, which was:
112. I can see another face, I can see another face
112a. Can I touch you for a while?
- Every day my mind is all around you
132a. Looking out from my lonely room
Day after Day by Badfinger. Thanks for the hint.
- “And somewhere 'round Salinas” is “Me and Bobby McGee” by Kris Kristofferson
Here are some more lines from No. 147:
Don’t need directions and we don’t need a map
After we take a walk let’s go take a nap
**141. What if there were two, side by side in orbit? [b/]Nightswimming; REM.
In the running for most beautiful song of all time.

In this case they were a George-produced group. (Paul produced their first album, the one with “Come and Get It.”)
