Hey what happened to that Donovan album cover which you had there?
You are SO busted amigo!
No worries, it was a tough one which I happened to know because of a freak thing (and I am a freak thing), and as I mentioned, Donovan made it a lot more famous.
NEXT SET
I compiled this last Tuesday, July 1 -- aka Canada Day.
Yes, there actually is something called Canada Day. Celebrates their, uhhh, independence or something.
Anyway I saw it as an excuse to schlep together another set with a theme. Actually I think I've done "Canada" before, and while there may be some repeat artists, hopefully there will be no repeat songs.
All artists/bands are Canadian. Please limit initial responses to no more than aboot 2 or 3 answers, okay? Some are very famous and easy, and some are ... not. Celebrate Canada! Some of our best members are Canadian ... older members like the Venerable Elmo, and Ubisuck (his latest name escapes me) ... and rumor has it that one of our Admins is actually Canadian too!
In actuality, however, he's from Acadia and hunts seals in his spare time.
And here's a special WSITF first -- the "Extra Credit" quote below is worth TWO points if you're Canadian, or THREE points if you're not! Wow! Imagine! Extra points! Woohoo!
1.
Oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
Cause nothing stands between us here
And I won't be denied
2.
I can see her looking fast in her faded jeans
She's a hard loving woman, got me feeling mean
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain
3.
All the pain I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said
Back and forth inside my head
4.
I deal in dreamers
And telephone screamers
Lately I wonder what I do it for
If I had my way
I'd just walk through those doors
5.
Drove downtown in the rain, nine-thirty on a Tuesday night
Just to check out the late-night record shop
Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane
But when I'm surrounded I just can't stop
6.
And I don't know how I survived those days
Before I held your hand
Well I never thought that I would be the one
To admit that the moon and the sun
Shine so much more brighter when
Seen through two pairs of eyes than
When seen through just one
7.
Suddenly, ahead of me, across the mountainside
A gleaming alloy air-car, shoots towards me, two lanes wide
I spin around with shrieking tires, to run the deadly race
Go screaming through the valley as another joins the chase
8.
I met a devil woman
She took my heart away
She said I had it coming to me
But I wanted it that way
9.
Sometimes the best map will not guide you
You can't see what's round the bend
Sometimes the road leads through dark places
Sometimes the darkness is your friend
10.
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
Knock me down, I'm back up again
You're in my blood I'm not a lonely man
11. Extra Credit:
Went back to bed this morning
And as I'm pulling down the blind
Yeah, the sky was dull and hypothetical
And falling one cloud at a time
