Bingo, got it in one.\* I could be completely wrong about Julian Lennon covering _Guitar_. I think I’m turning that into the “Sitting on a pebble by the river” song in my hindbrain. \*[sub]That first line goes “hold her ‘till the screamin’ is done,” I think. At least, that’s the line I worked with. ---

Still to be guessed: AN1: \*The sun is arising, much earlier than what is considered normal for that celestial body. It appears to move in the normal fashion of that of the morning star in it’s beauty. I could not go to some sort of store or other selling venue to purchase myself some nocturnal rest. At the time in which the moon is out, apparently having the feeling of a painful muscle or other such things that would throb, I observe mechanical devices used to observe the earth and it’s surronding areas. I was not understood to the fullest, apparently with the above mentioned mechanical devices. I was a being born of pilfered parts. \* Hint, released in the last year, is currently charting, and starts with A. I’ve decided to limit a line to only one if it repeats itself next line cos it’ll only be too easy. New AN2: \* Myself, a being that is of humanity and man, will never intend to do something that will cause bothering. I, as I can only be me and no other person, will make no words that indicate something will be done for certain in the future. I, a person who is of the arts, will never be one to doggedly track and find you or act like a mindless worker, to be asked of something at your whim. \ \* Hint, the sentences that follow I and myself are then ended by the comma aren’t indicated in the lyrics, it’s used to make it moe interesting. [A3]\* If every person in the states found in the United States of America had a large body of water that surronds the general area in which they are located in, They would play joyfully and or have enjoyment in a watersport\*[No, not _those_ watersports]\* that is commonly played in places that are near oceans or large bodies of water, especially in a certain state that is near the ocean. If you were to engage in said watersport, you would be likely to commonly observe with your own two eyes a wearing of a certain brand of loose shorts and a certain pair of shoes or sandals, all whilst engaging in this certain watersport in the united states of america. \* Hint: An older tune. A4: \* In the hours between when the sun rises and the sun goes down, I experinced self-inflicted injury. I did said activity to see if I would still react to painful sensory input, to see if said sensory input would affect me at all. I spent the most of my time during said activity focusing on the reaction that was created with the negative sensory input. It seems that the negative sensory input is the only thing that currently exists in my view of my seen and unseen reality. The apparatus commonly used to inject drugs(of any sort), insert blood, or other helpful and unhelpful things, creates a circular opening in my flesh. The negative sensory input that I experince causes a reaction that is now quite familar to me, having experinced it many times before. I try to get rid of said reaction that I have commonly experinced, I will try to kill it like it was some sort of beast with a mortality that is all too real. Even after trying to get rid of said reaction, I still recall the pain that I’ve felt before. \* Whew. ---

Oh indeed. See **MrBoy** ’s corruption of _I Will Always Love You_ a few pages back (for those who are just joining the thread) for a perfect example. It’s like reading a tax code’s small print, or something. ---

Yeah, I figured my “Total Eclipse” one would be guessed pretty quickly. I wish I were as sharp on some of the ones going around this thread. Anyway, here’s another easy one: I implore you to fabricate a mental image of your person occupying a vessel upon a narrow flowing body of liquid hydrogen dioxide, where the surroundings comprise large perennial plants bearing a widely cultivated variety of mandarin red-orange fruit, and the expanse of air overhead resembles a spongy confection made of corn syrup, gelatin, sugar, and starch. An unknown individual engages verbal communication, however, the speed of your own verbal response is greatly reduced. Said individual is possesed of the XX chromosome, and occular organs that resemble optical instruments that are rotated to produce a succession of symmetrical designs. [I would love to see someone intellectualize the whole song – anybody up to the challenge?] ---

**OS5** is Pink Floyd, One of My Turns I can’t believe I missed Total Eclipse. And I still think mine are easy! Anyway, Mr. TeaRoses asked me to post this, I did guess it but I thought it was clever: MrTR1: I invite the young women at the opposite end of the unnatural channel from the Empire State’s capital to arrive at a location apart from the interior during the time period commencing with the coming sunset and culminating at the following sunrise, to perform a regulated and rythmical series of movements whilst the rays of the secondary planet illuminate the proceedings. ---
