Name that Tune

[Human without the bean]

This doesn't ring any bells for me WW.  I still can't pick up on anything.

[WordWolf]

Ok, changing songs.  Same artist, different song.

 

"Hey little sister, who is it you're with?
Hey little sister, what's your vice and wish?
Hey little sister shot gun (oh yeah)
Hey little sister, who's your Superman?
Hey little sister, shot gun!"

~Billy Idol~  White Wedding

Correct!   His preceding hit- and last round's song- was "Eyes Without A Face."

[Human without the bean]

There's still no face
Here in her place
So cool, she was like
Jazz on a Summer's day
Music, high and sweet
Then she just blew away

[WordWolf]

This seems vaguely familiar, but nothing is springing to mind yet.

[Human without the bean]

So wild, standing there
With her hands in her hair
I can't help remember
Just where she touched me

There's still no face
Here in her place
So cool, she was like
Jazz on a Summer's day
Music, high and sweet
Then she just blew away

Now she can't be that warm
With the wind in her arms

Love songs fill the night
But they don't tell it all
Not how lovers cry out
Just like they're dying

Her cries hang there
In time, somewhere

Someday, some good wind
May blow her back to me
Some night I may hear
Her like she used to be

No it can't be that warm
With the wind in her arms

 

 

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Sorry.  Not on my playlist.  

George

[Human without the bean]

Sorry I didn't get back sooner.  The song is Valerie by ~Steve Winwood~.

Go ahead if anyone wants to or I'll post one soon.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

She wants to return those things I bought her
Tell her she can keep them just the same
Things have changed, she doesn't love me now
She's made it clear enough, it ain't no good to pine

George

[GeorgeStGeorge]

She wants to return those things I bought her
Tell her she can keep them just the same
Things have changed, she doesn't love me now
She's made it clear enough, it ain't no good to pine

Walkin' about, even in a crowd, well
You'll pick her out, makes a bloke feel so proud

If she finds that I've been 'round to see you
Tell her that I'm well and feelin' fine
Don't let on, don't say, "She broke my heart"
I'd go down on my knees but it's no good to pine

Walkin' about, even in a crowd, well
You'll pick her out, makes a bloke feel so proud

George

[Human without the bean]

Just the bloke line would have been enough for me George.

Mrs. Brown, You've got a Lovely Daughter  ~Herman's Hermits~

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Correct.

I'm a big Herman's Hermits fan, so ANY of the lines would have given it to me.

George

Next song

When I was young, my heart was young, then too
And anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win

[Human without the bean]

When I was young, my heart was young, then too
And anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win

Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could, you know that I would fly away with you

Snowbird by Anne Murray?

George

[Human without the bean]

Yes, there you go.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Oh, if you don't mind, could I talk you out of a light?
Well, thank you, could I drink you a buy?
Oh, listen to me. What I mean is can I buy you a drink?
Anything you please

Is this the right thread you're in George because it doesn't sound like a tune?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

It's a song all right.  Maybe a different genre than most of them in this thread.

George

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Oh, listen to me. What I mean is can I buy you a drink?

Oh, you're welcome. Well, I don't think I caught your name
Are you waiting for someone to meet you here?
Well, that makes two of us, glad you came

George

[WordWolf]

Is this something by "Herman's Hermits"? 

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Not even close.

Again, different genre.

Oh, you're welcome. Well, I don't think I caught your name
Are you waiting for someone to meet you here?
Well, that makes two of us, glad you came
No, I don't know the name of the band
But they're good, aren't they?
Would you like to dance?

Yeah, I like this song too, it reminds me of you and me, baby
Do you think there's a chance that later on I could drive you home?
No, I don't mind at all.

This song seems a little obscure, however, I did listen to a lot of music in the 60' and 70's (and I still do) which this song seems to me to be from that time.  A Mac Davis song perhaps, someone like that, or some other balladeer.  Bobby Goldsboro maybe.  If it was on the air I probably have heard it. Freddy Fender maybe?  It's not a group is it?  It's a single artist, right George?
