Is Big Jim the Jim you don’t mess around with, just as you don’t go tugging on Superman’s cape?
- Humpty!
- You’v been a Moonshiner
- Career
- Johannesburg
(According to “Oliver’s Army” by Elvis Costello)
- Little Boy Lost
(“Visions of Johanna,” Bob Dylan)
Everybody’s right so far - these are the only two left:
- What does a patient boy do?
- Where would you find a desperate man (although you might have to really look)?
The very one!
- He waits, he waits, he waits.
One more - it’s actually the one I thought would go first.
- Where would you find a desperate man (although you might have to really look)?
- The Keystone Bridge?
It wasn’t intended to be John Hardy (although “desperate little man” would have been good question material). The artist I had in mind is much loved on the SDMB.
Is the answer “hiding in Honduras” from Warren Zevon’s “Lawyers, Guns and Money”?
Yes it is - that does it for this set.
- What did I bring you that waited around by your door?
- What would you do if I said what was on my mind?
- Why did I shoot a guy in Reno?
- Why would I want a doctor to take your picture?
- Why did I take what I could get?
- Where do they expect it least?
- What words will make me out and out?
- What is gonna drive my Pappy to drinkin’?
- Where do I have to lose my mind?
- What did they find in a garbage can?
- If I don’t quit drivin’ that hot rod Lincoln.
What a great song!
- Just to watch him die.
- If I don’t stop drivin’ that hot rod Lincoln.
- So I can look at you from inside as well.
Funny, but I have no idea what song this is from. I’m singing these lines to myself (I want a doctor… to take your picture… so I can look at you from inside as well) over and over, but it’s not helping. It’s making me hate the song (whatever it is) a little, though.
Never mind - got it.
- Cause I think that any love is good loving.
- The funnybone
Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that’s where they expect it least–Blinded by the Light
It is from *Turning Japanese *by the Vapors. One of the greatest songs ever!
