Yes he did. I was looking for “Pontiac,” but I should have asked WHO daddy worked for!

I’ll give some more on the previous question:

Friends of mine say I ought to move to New York  
New York’s fine, but it ain’t what?

I would melt with you, and a broken heart would be mended (because the rockin’ world was no longer going round). Also, bicycle safety would be increased.

Cabaret like les boys?

I found God. Where? Doing what? What did I ask him?

Not so far as I am aware. (This may be one that only Brits would know. It may not be well known across the pond.)

I thought I was being very clever when I called you an old Queen, since this is the Queen song Mad The Swine. Sigh, my brilliance is doomed to be unappreciated.

And I spent the evening wondering if I was going to get a Mod warning for insulting a poster.

Easy one.

Who lives over the mountain down in the valley, and who knows his name?

The former talk show host lives there - everybody knows his name.  
It rings like silver and shines like gold, but how much does it weigh?

Who was found in a bar room drinking gin?

Tommy doesn’t know what day it is…do you?

There’s a kid that had a big hallucination.What was it?

They are closing all the factories down,where do we live?

Let’s talk about the Devil. He loaned me twenty bills right before I headed out to Utah. Where did he find me to collect?

You can take it home right away, but you’d better make good. How long do you have before Satan gets his turn?

Who claimed that a pistol is the Devil’s right hand?  
And in an unrelated question, where are James Dean, Burt Reynolds and Junior Johnson going to meet up?

Couple more  
This world was never meant for one  
As beautiful as you. Who are you?

In a little while from now, what am I gonna do, if my mood doesn’t improve?

What can we do,if we want to?

Who was 6’4 and full of muscles?

Something in the way she moves.

Where is our house?

Who watches over you?

What makes me know that there is nothing we can do?

How many men tried to end that spree?

Where is the answer?
