[Della]

Here's a hard one:


You come home late
And you come home early
You come on big
When you're feelin' small
You come home straight
And you come home curly
Sometimes you don't come home at all

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Hello hello hello…. Is anybody in there
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home.

Pink Floyd- Comfortably Numb

[retiredtraveler]

There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me I got to beware

What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singin' songs and a-carryin' signs
Mostly say, "Hooray for our side"

"For What It's Worth" Buffalo Springfield

 

[Paladin1950]

The one that always makes me think of, and miss Buddy Holly.
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while

But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step

I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died

I Will Always Love You
--Dolly Parton

Correct, made famous by the movie: "The Bodyguard."
Try this:
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor falls, the major lifts

 

[TeePee]

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake, they called Gitche Gumie

 

[TeePee]

Once I stood in the night
With my head bowed low
In the darkness as black as could be

 

[Furryanimal]

Hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors and pus and grime ooze from the scab crusted sores

 

[timoc]

It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place except you and me
So, set 'em up, Joe, I got a little story I think you should know
We're drinkin', my friend, to the end of a brief episode...

(Hint: Think 'Golden Age' of Las Vegas...)

Bingo, I know this one.

Frank Sinatra - One For My Baby (and One More For The Road)​

 

[Furryanimal]

Ya rotten hound of the Burnie Brae"
Well, I snapped for a blade and a Claymore cut and thrust
And I fell down before him 'round his feet

 

[timoc]

But should our eager lips combine,
then let that fire start

Frank Sinatra - One For My Baby (and One More For The Road)​

He sang this in Young At Heart.

 

[horseless carriage]

Correct, listen to this version. Talk about spine tingling.

I'm like a one-eyed cat
Peepin' in a seafood store

That has got to be just about the most vulgar analogy that the song writer got away with.

 

[Jazzy1]

I'm like a one-eyed cat
Peepin' in a seafood store

Answer: Shake, Rattle and Roll

 

[Bretrick]

Sometimes it is nothing more than one line that gets me hooked

I just can't believe the loveliness of loving you

 

[Bretrick]

Hey Dad, what do you think about your son now?

 

[Bretrick]

Went walking one day on the lower East side
Met you with a girlfriend, you were so divine...

 

[Aunt Bea]

“As I walk this land with broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?”

 

[C50]

Somebody yelled "the mountains caving in", John Henry told the kind folks not to worry, it's just my hammer sucking wind, it keeps me breathing.

The Legend of John Henrys Hammer
Johnny Cash

 

[Della]

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake, they called Gitche Gumie

The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy.

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (wonderful lyrics in that song.)

 

[Della]

Bingo, I know this one.

Frank Sinatra - One For My Baby (and One More For The Road)​

Ah sure it is "One for My Baby." I was wrong with Stormy Weather. -1 for me.

Timoc, who started this fun game, said this: "What I'd like you all to do, is select a line or two from a song that you like, just post the line and let the rest of us guess the song."

So why are you guys posting the answer along with the song? As my brothers used to say as they punched me in the arm, "Play right!"

That's what I'd like to know as well.

Please folks, just post the line from the song and let us all try to guess the song.
If after 24 hours no-one has guessed your song, then that's the time to post the song.
