169: Illegal Alien by Genesis. And to be nitpicky the line is “a pink one a red one the colors they choose” I’ll post my contribution in another post. ---

I’m unsure how obscure to get. I’ll make them semi easy, and if its too easy the gloves come off ;-): 170: You want a piece of my heart You better start from start You wanna be in the show Come on baby lets go 171: Old dusty roads, led to the river Runnin’ slow She pulled me down, and in clover We’d go 'round and harder bonus ones, from my favorite bands: 172: I’m finally out in the clear and I’m free I’ve got dreams I’m livin’ for I’m movin’ on where they’ll never find me Rollin’ on to anywhere I’ll break away, yes I’m on my way Leavin’ today, yes I’m on my way 173: Don’t need no fast buck lame duck profits for fun Quick trick plans, take the money and run We need long term, slow burn, getting it done And some straight talking, hard working son of a gun. ---

170 = “Working for the Weekend” by Loverboy…and I’m stumped on the rest. ---

1. Loverboy, Workin’ for the Weekend 2. Journey, Stone in Love 3. Journey, Escape. (I think it’s Escape…I know it’s from that album.) 4. Styx, Rockin’ the Paradise. Escape and Paradise Theater were two of the first albums I ever owned. Flashbacks to 8th grade… 🙂 ---

167: Bow Wow Wow, “Hold Me” 170: Loverboy, “Living for the Weekend” 1. “She will never let your spirits down/Once you get her off the street.” 2. “I don’t think there are any Russians/And there ain’t no Yanks/Just corporate criminals/Playing with tanks.” 3. “Even in a perfect world where everyone is equal/I’d still own the film rights and be working on a sequel.” ---

Yes, 172 is “Escape”. I figured since everyone here seems to be posting songs that are not mainstream rock that these might be harder. Okay fine…next time I get obscure. 🙂 ---

1. I could see it was a rough-cut Tuesday Slow-motion weekdays stare me down Her lipstick reflex got me wound There were no defects to be found 2. You got problems in your life of love, You’ve got a broken heart. He’s double dealing with your best friend That’s when the teardrops start ---

Here’s another: 1. So long, I’ve been looking too hard I’ve been waiting too long. Sometimes I don’t know what I will find. I only know it’s a matter of time. ---

Last chance! Last chance to solve an unsolved one! My #92 from way back on page 3 is still up for grabs… 1. She moves among men They would seek to have her as a prize But she is in the shadows The ocean and the sand She is everywhere and no place It’s a great song. Hint: it’s a group, and they’re not from the U.S. btw: 35, 1984. I grew up on this stuff 🙂 But damn if I recognize the words to some of these, but can’t produce the tune in my head. Just a vague sense of recognition. Probably killed too many brain cells that decade. ---

177: The J Geils Band, “Freeze Frame” 1. “The last idea to cross her mind/Had something to do with where to find/A pair of jeans to fit her butt/And where to get her toenails cut.” 2. “Rhonda had a house in Venice/Lived on brown rice and cocaine/Patty had a house in Houston/Shot cough syrup in her veins/Linda thought her life was empty/Filled it up with alcohol/Katherine, who was much too pretty/She didn’t do that shit at all.” ---
