“Why don’t you comb your hair in different light,
and change the chair and scene to pink thats alright,
I understand,
You need a change,
But when you make that change don’t look to see I’m alright”


“A single lifetime, even though entirely devoted to the sky, would not be enough for the investigation of so vast a subject.” - Seneca

Too easy humpf, rolls up sleeves,
Maybe I should put a bucket over my head,
and a marshmallow in each ear,
and stumble around through another
dumbnumb week,
for another humdrum hit song to appear

Bump… because I’m bored and noones answered this yet

Attemptedmurder? pah, you dont get the Nobel Prize for Attempted Chemisty”
Homer Simpson

Fuel, by Ani DeFranco.
Let’s try this;

We’re just knocked out,
we heard about the sellout,
you’ve gotta get an album,
you owe it to the people,
we’re so happy we can hardly count

Have a a Cigar - Floyd
Thinking of new lyrics so as not to simulpost

Bye bye,my friend,
goodbye
With a lie
you forget and break it.

You make it
you make it
you make it
you make it

Cry in my empty room,
and we try
to forget and break it.

Fly
high
and then
you make it

I’m stumped, but I can’t resist throwing in some of my all-time favorite lyrics:
(hint: all 3 songs by John Prine)

And the sky is black and still now
On the hill where the angels sing
Ain’t it funny how an old broken bottle
Looks just like a diamond ring

I gotta shake myself and wonder
Why she even bothers me
For if heartaches were commercials
We’d all be on T.V.
Her heart is as big
As this whole goddamn jail
And she’s sweeter than saccharine
At a drugstore sale

one more…

Well I sat there at the table
And I acted real naive
For I knew that topless lady
Had something up her sleeve

Tangled up in blue ??

Give up yet ??

Here is a tangential hint:

Chariots of Fire

10 extra points for the stump.

Break (from 666), Aphrodites Child c. 1970

Spanish Pipedream, also by J.Prine

I can hear the tune of tennhippies’ #1, but can’t pull in the title, #2&3 leave me stumped, oh well,
Larry

No one knows who my lyrics are by??? I’ll give you a hint. She actually is a redhead. Very famous female artist. (atleast underground popular even if you don’t want to consider her general audience popular).


“I celebrate myself, and sing myself, and what I assume you shall assume, for every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.” --Whitman

Bonnie Raitt?
P.S. Spanish Pipedream is correct.
The others:
1.Far From Me
2.Come Back To Us Barbara Lewis Hare Krishna Beauregard(also a top contender for best song title!)
3.Christmas In Prison

No sorry. I guess if no one can guess it, then I will give it to you.

The song was Take to the Sky by Tori Amos. . . ughola, I am so disappointed that no one knew that.
