Its time for round 4 of the ever-popular song-identity game. Last time, you left four songs unidentified, so let’s see if you can identify every song this time. Here are the rules:
All songs this time begin with either F or G
the songs are listed in alpabetical order
the first 13 songs begin with the letter F
please identify both the title of the song and the artist
in general, the songs cover the time frame from the 50s through the 90s
most are by well-known artists, although not necessarily #1 hits
the name of the song will NOT appear in the lyrics
Good luck!
“I see you from my window, in the shadows of the night”
“When she goes, she’s gone”
“Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air”
“His body’s too old for working; his body’s too young to look like his”
“So now the time has come, for both of us to live on the run”
“Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio Grande?”
“There is nothing left to throw, of ginger, lemon, indigo”
8)“Well I don’t wanna be president, Superman, or Clark Kent”
“They cut off my legs, now I’m an amputee God damn you!”
(banjo instrumental from the movie Bonnie and Clyde)
“Your day breaks, your mind aches”
“Remember when I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reach?”
“Got on my dead man’s suit, and my smilin’ skull ring”
“I was cutting a rug down at a place called The Jug”
“How many times I have to tell you darling, darling, I’m still in love with you now?”
“Hey now…, Where you going with that load of nothing in your hand?”
“Trying to find a woman who’s never, never been born”
“There’s demons in my head and its more than I can take”
“Better cut off all identifying labels, before they put you on the torture table”
