And as always, name the song from the lyrics, these were all UK number ones in the 70's
No more than 5 answers every couple of hours. Good Luck :)
1 Mud can make you prisoner and the plains can bake you dry.
Snow can burn your eyes but only people make you cry.
Home is made for comin' from, for dreams of goin' to.
Which with any luck will never come true.
2 No Sir
I don't feel very much like talking
No, neither walking
You wanna know if I can dance
Yes Sir
Already told you in the first verse
3 And if that road gets weary, oh I love you
Waiting here if you need me
'Cause I love the things that you do
4 Was so happy when I found you but how was I to know
That you would leave me walkin' down the road
Been another hurt love story
Been another man
Who thought that he was oh so strong
Been thinkin' about you girl
5 When there's no one around, oh yeah, baby baby
Now if there's a smile on my face
Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Don't let this smile I wear
Make you think that I don't care
6 All lovers make the same mistake
Yes, they do
Yes, all lovers make
Make the same mistake
Cause me and you
7 In the wilds of Borneo
And the vineyards of Bordeaux
Eskimo, Arapaho
Move their body to and fro
8 I hurried back to the swimming pool
Sinkin' pina coladas
I heard a dark voice beside me say
Would you like something harder
She said I've got it you want it
9 See me in me heels and ting
Dem check sey we hip and ting
True them no know and ting
We have them going and ting
Nah pop no style, a strictly roots
Nah pop no style, a strictly roots
10 Well your sister's got the feline touch, she touches up your mind
And your eagle lover likes his little bit of evil loving all the time
Don't let the cat get into the eagle's nest at night
Because the eagle could say "yes" without a fight
11 I cry each night my tears for you
My tears are all in vain
I'll hope and I'll pray that maybe someday
You'll be back in my arms once again
Someone, help me, help me, help me please
12 Same old dream ten years away thinking
Now my days are gone, memories linger on
Thoughts of when I was a boy
Penny farthings on the street riding
Motorcars were funny things, frightening
13 That's what we've got to prove
Once more we will meet with the best
Like before we'll be put to the test
Oh we will give all we've got to give
14 Well the band were playing
and the booze began to flow
But the sound came over on the police car radio
Down at precinct 49
Having a tear-gas of a time
15 I’ll be your clown or your puppet or your April Fool
If you´ll be my sunshine daisy from L.A
I’ll be your leprechaun and sit upon an old toadstool
I’ll serenade you till I’m old and gray
16 Smiles in the sunshine and tears in the rain
Still take me back where my memories remain
Flickering embers grow higher and high
17 But I've really gotta say
You look so fine
and you're so hard to resist
But I know I've got to stay away
For I might fall for you
and I don't want to be added to your list
18 If I had money I’d go wild
Buy you furs, dress you like a queen
and in a chauffeured limousine
We’d look so fine
But I’m an ordinary guy
19 You're the one girl in town I'd marry
Girl I'd marry you now if I were free
I wish it could be
I could love you but why begin it
'Cause there ain't any future in it
20 And that sweet city woman
She moves through the light
Controlling my mind and my soul
When you reach out for me
Yeah, and the feelin' is bright
21 Billy don't like it living here in this town
He says the traps have been sprung long before he was born
He says hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors
And pus and grime ooze from its scab crusted sores
22 Was so happy when I found you
But how was I to know
That you would leave me walking down that road
Been another hard luck story
Been another man who thought that he was oh so strong
23 My my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
and how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose
24 The soldier blues were trapped on a hillside
The battle raging all around
The sergeant cried, We've got to hang on, boys
We've gotta hold this piece of ground
25 The night is young and full of possibilities
Well come on and let yourself be free
My love for you, so long I've been savin'
Tonight was made for me and you
26 In between what I find is pleasing
And I’m feeling fine, love is so confusing
There’s no peace of mind if I fear I’m losin’ you
It’s just no good, you teasin’ like you do
27 I'll stick by you, I'll give you all that you need
We'll 'ave twins and triplets
I'm a man built for speed
and you know I'll love you darlin'
So give me your hand
28 So don't misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
Oh you put the spark to the flame
I've got your heart in my sights
29 A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
30 Do you still recall the fateful night
We crossed the Rio Grande
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight
For freedom in this land
