Now that I am up to the letter “T”, I’ve decided to bifurcate this letter into two distinct groups, the first being only songs that begin with the word “The”. The remaining “T” songs will appear in a separate thread. Here once again are the rules:
all songs will be in alphabetical order, this time organized by the first word following the word “The”. (e.g., The Long and Winding Road would follow The Last Waltz)
the songs are generally tunes by popular artists of the 60s through 90s, but not necessarily #1 hits
the name of the song will not appear in the lyrics given
please identify both the name of the song and the original artist
please refer to the number of the lyric when answering
Good luck!
“A boy lies in the grass with one blade stuck between his teeth”
“In cold blood, in the lobby of a downtown motel”
“Before you slip into unconsciousness, I’d like to have another kiss”
“White man came, took everything”
“Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock”
“We got 15 dollars and a can of STP”
“Came and broke my pretty balloon”
“Picking off cheerleaders one by one”
“Bells chime; I know I gotta get away”
“I like this curious feeling”
“Well, let’s raise our glasses, let the hammer fly”
“Sonny has a baby and bills to pay”
“Well the dogs on main street howl, 'cause they understand”
“Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir”
“If I don’t pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more”
“narrow streets of cobblestone”
“An exit to eternal summer slacking”
“In a Bourbon Street bar, I received my first scar”
