Name the song game

ok Nigel - but I bet you win 'cause I'm not that good just lucky :lol:

try this one

When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up
Would you be the savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned?
 
I'll admit you've got me on that one lovinglife!

In the mean time and until someone answers, here's another:

if you've been, where they wanna go
seen all they got to show
just....................................
that's what they say
 
I'm into traditional folk - that's the closing lines of the Irish song "The Minstrel Boy."

Try - "On his ass in his four-wheel drive."
 
Lovinglife - Black Parade by My Chemical Romance

Try this:

It's been a long, long time
Since I got you on my mind
and now you are here
I say, it's okay...
 
When love congeals
It soon reveals
The faint aroma of performing seals,
The double-crossing of a pair of heels.....
 
Frank Sinatra/Ella Fitzgerald. I wish I were in love again.

So don't knock on my door
Don't try to call
I'm holed up in this room
Talking to the wall
 
Catherine, you're absolutely correct. Music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Lorenz Hart, one of the greatest lyricists of all time.
Or how about -
Though the words sound queer
And funny to your ear;
A little bit jumbled and jivey.....
 
Hi Bill,
I think that was a wartime song and the title is something like,
Mairzy doats and doatsy doats ? Excuse spelling haven't got a clue. :lol:

You didn't guess my song title.

I always thought that it was:
Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy,
de diddle de divey do, wouldn't you.

I obviously never saw it written down. Silly me,

Elton John's 'And The House Fell Down.'
 
What about:-

Hey did I do something wrong?
I just cant belive I could be so badly mistaken.
Was it me or was it you
Tell me, are we really through? .. ..
 
Sorry, Catherine, I wouldn't know one Elton John song from another, so I didn't get your lyrics at all. And Moogie, you were partly right, so here are the lyrics:
Mairzy doats and doazy doats and liddle lamzy divey,
A kiddly divey too, wouldn't you?
If the words sound queer, and funny to your ear,
A little bit jumbled and jivey,
Sing mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy.
A kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn' you?

It was popular during the latter years of WW2, and why I remember such nonsensical lyrics, I'll never understand.
