Name that Tune

[Human without the bean]

You guys may or may not know this one.

Never been this blue
Never knew the meaning of a heartache
But then again, I never lost at love before

Somewhere down the road
Maybe all those years will find some meaning
I just can't think about them now or live 'em out anymore

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Seems vaguely familiar, but that might just be because the theme is so common.

Never been this blue
Never knew the meaning of a heartache
But then again, I never lost at love before

Somewhere down the road
Maybe all those years will find some meaning
I just can't think about them now or live 'em out anymore

Never lasted so long, no
Through so much or through so many
I just can't believe I could throw it all away

Sometimes late at night
When there's nothing here except my piano
I'd almost give my hands to make you see my way

Song title, don't you fall
For God's sake don't go do something foolish
All you're feeling right now is silly human pride
You've got me down on my knees for ya, mama

Song title, don't you fall
Don't do something you'll regret later
A feelin' it like everyone, it's silly human pride
Get up and [Incomprehensible]

[GeorgeStGeorge]

This line is REALLY familiar, but I can' fill in the gap.

I had a few more clues but I think its not going to help.  Stand Tall  ~Burton Cummings~ of The Guess Who fame but a solo album.

 

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Well, I wouldn't have gotten the performer's name, anyway; but yes, I can "hear" Stand Tall.

George

[Human without the bean]

Well, I know that i love him so.
I'm afraid that he'll never know
because I(i-i) I get so timid and shy
each time that I look him in the eye.
They all tell me
sing to him, swing with him,
and just do anything for him,
and tell him - he's the one.
I got a love so true
but I'm sad and blue

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Darn it!  I'm SURE I know this one, but I'm blanking.  

George

[Human without the bean]

Yes, you should know it George.

[Human without the bean]

My friends all tell me
go to him, run to him,
say sweet lovely things to him,
and tell him - he's the one.
Deep in my heart i know it,
but it's so hard to show it

I'm going to give it up.  That was

Anybody remember this one?

Next tune:

I was lyin' in a burned out basement
With a full moon in my eyes
I was hopin' for a replacement
When the sun burst through the sky

There was a band playin' in my head
And I felt like getting high

[GeorgeStGeorge]

That one doesn't seem familiar at all.

I'll add something more that may strike a chord then:

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming
Sayin' something about a queen
There were peasants singin' and drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree

I was lyin' in a burned out basement
With a full moon in my eyes
I was hopin' for a replacement
When the sun burst through the sky

There was a band playin' in my head
And I felt like getting high
I was thinkin' about what a friend had said, I was hopin' it was a lie
Was thinkin' about what a friend had said, I was hopin' it was a lie

 

 

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Sorry.  Still nothing.

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children crying and colors flying
All around the chosen ones

All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun
Flyin' mother nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun
Flyin' mother nature's silver seed to a new home

Okay then, let's just move on.

"Listening to you, I get music
Gazing at you, I get the heat
Following you, I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet"

[WordWolf]

I know which band did this song, but I'm having trouble distinguishing which song this is, right now.

[Human without the bean]

I've been there.

[Human without the bean]

"Listening to you, I get music
Gazing at you, I get the heat
Following you, I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet"

Right behind you, I see the millions
On you, I see the glory
From you, I get opinions
From you, I get the story

These are the only two verses in the song with exception of the one other with the title in it.  They both are repeated several times.  You're right about the group.  It is The Who.  (You knew it, I knew you knew it)

[WordWolf]

I was trying much too hard to avoid posting the word "who" in that reply not to be doing it deliberately.

[WordWolf]

*thinks*

This thing is off "Tommy."  

By any chance, is this "TOMMY" from the album of the same name?

[Human without the bean]

No.  But you are on track with the right album.  The song was listed on the album "Tommy" as a single track instead it is a two-part overture.  Personally, I had no idea about this, I  just knew it was a song.

Sorry about that. That was meant to say the song was not listed on the album..
