Inash Posted June 9, 2023 Clone Share Posted June 9, 2023 For the next few years dad was sick as a dog, but he made a recovery just to spite the odds Settlement came and we moved out of town, where the sky isn't heavy with refinery clouds Yeah he's still alive he's doing good he's in his fifties But the moneys running out, and he's pinching for pennies So I'm goin' for broke with every song I play, 'cause now it's my turn to keep the wolves away Keep the Wolves Away by Uncle Lucius Let's try a different one: Woke up and I bumped my head Stumped my toe on the edge of the bed Opened the fridge and the food all gone Neighbor's damn dog done crapped on my lawn Hopped in the car and the car won't start It's too damn hot but I still gotta walk Behind an old lady in the grocery line Praying that my card won't get declined Ah damn, ah damn, ah damn, ah damn Oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man Ah damn, oh man, ah damn, oh man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inash Posted June 13, 2023 Clone Share Posted June 13, 2023 Bills by Lunchmoney Lewis There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps Running before times took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground To a life consumed by slow decay The grass was greener The light was brighter When friends surrounded The nights of wonder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughtrade Posted June 14, 2023 Clone Share Posted June 14, 2023 Sounds like something from The Division Bell but I can't quite place it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharmingSatyr Posted June 15, 2023 Clone Share Posted June 15, 2023 While not quite cheating, I am going to confess that I'm looking over the CD jacket to see what jogs my memory. 11 songs. Cluster One, What Do You Want From Me, Poles Apart, Marooned, A Great Day for Freedom, Wearing the Inside Out, Take it Back, Coming Back to Life, Keep Talking, Lost for Words, and High Hopes. Cluster One is an instrumental. So is Marooned, and also I think Coming Back to Life. So that's three I can eliminate, bringing us down to eight. I know all the words (or, at least, the choruses) to Take it Back, Keep Talking, and I'm familiar with A Great Day for Freedom and What Do You Want from Me, so I'm going to eliminate those four, bringing me down to four. Now it gets hard. That leaves me with Poles Apart, Wearing the Inside Out, Lost for Words, and High Hopes. Wearing the Inside Out feels wrong. Lost for Words also feels wrong. My memory is of a dark song about vulnerability and rejection. So that leaves two. I have a 50/50 chance of guessing right, so if I get this wrong, I encourage the next person to guess Poles Apart. But my guess is High Hopes which, funnily enough, I am in possession of those, high hopes that I've guessed correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharmingSatyr Posted June 16, 2023 Clone Share Posted June 16, 2023 A spectacle monopolized The camera's eyes on choice disguised Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil? Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil? Yes a spectacle monopolized They hold the reins and stole your eyes Or the fistagons The bullets and bombs Who stuff the banks Who staff the party ranks More for Gore or the son of a drug lord None of the above f**k it cut the cord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
