Well I’ll throw a few out there: Who had a “busted flat down in New Orleans”? Who “don’t have no mercy in this land”? “Late last night, I heard a screen door slam…” then what happened? “I had a taste of the real world…” when what happened? Who is “livin’ on Reds, vitamin C & cocaine”? ---

Pretty quick there, **Biffy**. 🙂 Here’s a couple more: Today is tomorrow, tomorrow today, and yesterday is weaving in and out. And the fuzzy white lines that the airplane leaves behind are…doing what? If my mother was of the sky, who’s my father? The first time I saw you, you were sitting backstage, wearing…what? Sweetheart, sweetheart, are you fast asleep? Good. That’s the only time that I can really…what? Some people say that there’s a woman to blame, but I know—it’s who’s damned fault? You must try some of my purple berries. I’ve been eating them for six or seven weeks now. They’ll probably what? ---

It’s your own damn fault. Mine: 1)Hey girl with the new clothes on, what can you do to me? 2)Girls ask and I define decision; boys ask and I do what? And to bump a previous post by adding a clue: A boy was tangled in his bike forever;a girl was missing two fingers. Who was confused? And who had a gun in his head? ---

Not Ray Charles, **Bill H.** More recent than that. Actually, the full lyric is “Boy and girl with the new clothes on,” but I didn’t want to give too much away. 🙂 ---
