Name That Tune - Part 1

Post by rmissbrook »

These are some of my favorite lines from Jimmy's songs, most but not all, of which were writing only by him. Can you name the song? Hint: titles are between A-La.


1. But I don't make it easy, I'm no day at the beach. Just an old road dog gettin' harder to teach

2. But you have to purge that urge to merge

3. Like the song says ‘teach your children’to go fishing with their minds.

4. Let’s glide across the water like a steel guitar

5. Feel my way through a bevy of solutions there I realize the answer lies in me

6. Yea, he’s a hot roman candle from the Texas panhandle

7. I’m just the next man that you’re gonna blame”

8. He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare

9. That's the difference between lightening and a harmless lightening bug

10. I'd rather die while I'm living then live while I'm dead

11. She was old, but she still was cool

12. But we have to keep a look out for those mean old backed-up farts

13. Seems that blind ambition erased their intuition

14. It’s a flashback kind of crowd it’s a cabaret sound. There’s still some magic left in this tourist town

15. The Sahara showed her heart to us And then she took it back

16. The North Pole is ocean's remote frozen balcony

17. Fiction over fact always has my vote and wrinkles only go where the smiles have been

18. The sound of the weather is heaven’s rag time band

19. You lust for the future but treasure the past

20. Take it from me 'cause I found If you leave it then somebody else is bound
21. To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure When yours it could have been

22. Her bare feet are a work of art

23. And there are so many quiet places and smilin' eyes match the smilin' faces.

24. Changes have come like the storms of the season

25. Take care of your needs and watch out for your greeds or that wolf will be at your door

26. It’s a little like religion and a lot like sex. You should never know when you’re gonna get it next.

27. We’ll begin with a kiss, such a warm place to start. Let me into your life, let me into your heart

28. If I could tell half of the stories the funny way most things begin; figure ways to disguise all the half truths and lies; find the heart of my song with the point of a pen

29. I can charm a crowd I can make them shout. I can juggle verbs adverbs and nouns

30. I've had good days and bad days and going half mad days

31. But I'm a man with no means to reach your distant shore

32. Just escapes using mirrors and capes and the words do the trick; there is no bigger kick than just rhyming again and again

33. It's three o'clock in the mornin', runnin' on adrenalin. What I'm tryin to say is that tomorrow's today and we've got to do it over again.

34. It’s not close quarters that would make me snap. It’s just dealing with the daily unadulterated crap
