I will start it off, can you name this song and the band.

"And I've been working like a dog."

[spotweldersfriend]

Hi margo,misslinda and others.
Here's one for you first up margo.It's from a movie based on a Mark Twain novel.
"I have to watch the river
To see that it doesn't stop
And stick around the rosebuds
So they'll know when to pop
And keep the crickets cheerful
They're really a solemn bunch
Hustle, bustle
And only an hour for lunch"

2."If I go insane, please don't put your wires in my brain."

3.John might get this one:
"They wanna feed me cornbread and molasses
They wanna feed me cornbread and molasses
They wanna feed me cornbread and molasses
But I got my pride
Well, I got my pride"

4."They were doing two shows and she
Had a high fever and he took
Off a piece of her ear and
Tip Little told her she should
Leave the bum
But Poodle said, "He fetched me
Last time I run."
But I'd like to hammer this ring into a bullet
And I wish I had some whiskey and a gun
My dear

And I wish I had some whiskey and a gun
My dear"

Hey spot I can get my one, pretty typical of my day too.

Busy doing nothing.:-D

I saw that movie many moons ago margo.I can't remember who starred in in though.Might have been either Bing Crosby or Danny Kaye I think.

I don't know any of them Misslinda.:-(

How about this easy one.:-)

Rising moon and silver road behind me
And I do believe the sky's about to fall
Going where I know they'll never find me
All my sorrows gone, I'll try to lose them all???

[margomeoz]

Not sure either spot but I think Danny Kaye

No 2. Pink Floyd....thinking....

[spotweldersfriend]

Well done misslinda.No.2 was "If" by Pink Floyd from the Atom Heart Mother album.No.3 was Take This Hammer by Leadbelly.And the last one was called Circus by Tom Waits off of the album Real Gone.

I have a hard song for someone.

When I'm alone
I dream of the horizon
and words fail;
yes, I know there is no light
in a room where the sun is absent,
if you are not here with me.
At the windows
show everyone my heart
which you set alight;
enclose within me
the light you
encountered on the street.
