Human without the bean

I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag I was schooled with a strap right across my back I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread Yeah, yeah, yeah I was crowned with a spike right thru my head

George I may need a second line.

It is.

Well then, here's another group of lines' Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night Streetlights people, living just to find emotion Hiding, somewhere in the night Some will win, some will lose Some were born to sing the blues Oh, the movie never ends It goes on and on and on and on

I didn't think that this was going to the grey area. For some reason I seem to have picked up the British spelling for grey. Anyway, here's something else' Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night Streetlights people, living just to find emotion Hiding, somewhere in the night

Obviously.

"Yeah, there was a funky singer playin in a rock n' toll band"

Next song OK, give me a few.

Your 0 for 6 now and I don't think that gives you the right to say anything does it? Songs on the album were songs on the radio. Where did you grow up that you didn't hear the songs from "Bridge Over Troubled Water'? Stop whining about it. I told you all I was doing was writing words down and don't get offended. Now you're telling me how to play? Ridiculous chatter.

Or, the players are just unfamiliar with the song. All I know was "The Ballad of John and Yoko" was an extremely popular song in the 1970's and its been played for decades. If you didn't know it the only reason was that you were a country bumpkin.

You may have not hear This is because it wasn't released on a ~Beatles~ album. A single written by John and credited to both Lennon and McCartney only by John and Paul. George was abroad and Ringo was filming a movie. John was so anxious to record it, he took the song to Paul and they recorded it, Paul doing drums, base guitar, piano, you know, the usual thing a genius like Paul McCartney does, and back up vocals. "The Ballad of John and Yoko", John had hoped, would be released after it was recorded but it held up for the release of the Abbey Road song "Get Back" in April of 1969. "The Ballad of John and Yoko" was released as a singles collection of songs titled "Hey Jude". The songs were never on any albums, just singles and B-sides, "Can't Buy Me Love", "I Should Have Known Better", to name a few of them. It's also on another compilation or ~The Blue Album 1967-1970. Anyway, I'll post the song for you guys. A little note this is the last song that Lennon and McCartney composed together. Some music history I suppose. ~The Beatles~ "The Ballad of John and Yoko"

Fair enough. Let's move on then. That's O for 6 now. ~Simon & Garfunkel~ Keep The Customer Satisfied

Going back a few pages I've noticed that you guys are O for 5 in the last tunes that I've posted. These are not obscure songs, played regularly where ever music was heard, Neil Young, The Who, The Guess Who. This song was released in 1969. One might argue the height of the rock n roll music period, The Beatles were still together (at least on paper), Led Zeppelin taking off, Woodstock concert, the cream was rising to the top. The really good bands CCR, Santana, CSN were becoming great bands. The really good bands released their best stuff, The Beatles, 'Abbey Road' , Creedence released 'Willie and Poor Boys', Crosby Still, Nash released "their debut CSN'. Now to my point, {I'm not getting on anyone's case, OK, I'm just writing}. This song is from an iconic American band that for me, personally, started my journey into music, enjoying it, listening and playing it, celebrating everything that music is and had become in our great country. Oops I'm sorry. I just looked it up. This SONG was released in Jan, 1970. But it still applies here I think, especially since the album is 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'. Anyway it kind of blows my mind that you, George, or WordWolf (so far) don't have a clue. Same goes for the other song thread right now. I mean that is a 'Beatles' song. It was very popular as is this song in this thread. Hope this doesn't go to O for 6.

This is a Beatles song. You must have some idea WW.

Gee but it's great to be back home Home is where I want to be. I've been on the road so long my friend, And if you came along I know you couldn't disagree. It's the same old story, yeah Everywhere I go, I get slandered, libeled, I hear words I never heard in the Bible And I'm one step ahead of the shoe shine Two steps away from the county line Just trying to [Song Title} Deputy Sheriff said to me Tell me what you come here for, boy. You better get your bags and flee. You're in trouble boy, And you're heading into more. It's the same old story, yeah Everywhere I go, I get slandered, libeled, I hear words I never heard in the Bible And I'm one step ahead of the shoe shine Two steps away from the county line Just trying to [Song Title]

No real hits then, I'll just reveal this. This was Ben Stiller's 2004 comedy "Along Came Polly" which was after Zoolander but before Starsky and Hutch. It has some funny scenes but it was no Meet the Parents. It did have a decent cast as well. If someone else would like to take this they're welcome to it. I'll go if no one picks it up.

Okay. Same song different line. " "Saving up your money for a rainy day, giving all your clothes to charity"

"Standing in the dock of Southampton, tryin' to get to Holland or France" Is it possible that what you thought that you heard [like myself] instead of Southampton was Japan? I'll wait for one day or for a response from someone before I add the next line. It's sort of like "Hello Darkness my old friend" at least to me, it has a start to the song that you just automatically know what it is. Again, at least to me it does.

More or less, yes. And that would be.... Michelle Lee Kevin Hart Hank Azaria Alec Baldwin Philip Seymour Hoffman Debra Messing Ben Stiller Bryan Brown Jennifer Aniston

Shouldn't get this confused with the musicians solo career because it's from his original group who just happened to be the greatest rock group of all time.
