Title in the Lyric

[TheRedHead]

Linda was killed last Saturday 'bout fifteen blocks from where she lives
in a car crash, people gathered around the gravesite, friends and relatives,
dressed in black.
Preacher mumblin' how she's bound to go to Heaven,
the service started at half-past ten, it was all over by eleven.

Al Stewart, "Accident on 3'rd Street"

How about:

"I jumped out the window to get to the parking lot,
I'm writing this little song on my way down..."

Living Colour "Flying"


They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot.
Late last night
I heard the
Screen door slam

Counting Crows, "Big Yellow Taxi"

"Kneel down ye sinners,
to Streetwise religion
Greed's been crowned the King,
Hollywood dream teams,
Yesterday's trash queens"

I haven't a clue. I heard it on the radio and the DJ said it was one of those one hit wonders. If I can find the name, I can to to Apple's Music Store and buy it.

Now, I'm off to Mexico for 8 days.

 

[TheRedHead]

Since we're at a standstill, I'll toss this one out:

Now poor old Bess got so darn mad
She ran away one day
To meet that travellin' salesman
With city-slickin' ways
We ran and stood beside them though
With shotguns by our sides
Me and Deke and pa and ma
Who yelled as they came by

 

[H2Andy]

it would help, you know, if you used lyrics those of us born during the second half
of the 20th century would recognize??

 

[Tamas]

Must be a country song of some type based on the choice of words.

.....let me put on my cowboy boots, run out to my pickup, dig out the 8-tracks from under the gun rack and I'll let ya'all know what it is.

 

[Tamas]

Found it ya'all.....it must be "Slap Her Down Again Pa" by Arthur Godfrey




*gotta love google sometime, since I cheated I'll pass this time
