Name that Tune

[waysider]

L.A. is a great big freeway. Put a hundred down and buy a car. In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star.

Do You Know the Way To San Jose  ~Dionne Warwick~   Burt Bacharach surely made her a star.

It's right.

Jocko said no when I came back last time
It's lookin' like I lost a friend
No use callin' 'cause the sky is fallin'
And I'm gettin' pretty near the end
A smoke-filled room in a corner basement
The situation must be right
A bag o' goodies and a bottle o' wine
We're gonna get it on right tonight

[WordWolf]

I've heard this song before, but I can't recall the beat, so I can't get the rest of the song.

[Human without the bean]

... Lonely feeling deep inside
Find a corner where I can hide
Silent footsteps crowding me
Sudden darkness but I can see

… In the silence of her mind
Quiet movements where I can find
Grabbing for me with her eyes
Now I'm falling from her skies

 

… You're tripping back now to places you've been to
You wonder what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong but it won't be long
Before you leave 'em all far behind

Here are some more lyrics WordWolf that should help you recall the beat.

... Lonely feeling deep inside
Find a corner where I can hide
Silent footsteps crowding me
Sudden darkness but I can see

… In the silence of her mind
Quiet movements where I can find
Grabbing for me with her eyes
Now I'm falling from her skies

 

… You're tripping back now to places you've been to
You wonder what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong but it won't be long
Before you leave 'em all far behind

No Sugar Tonight...Guess Who

No, really, guess who.

[waysider]

I was down in Savannah
Eatin' cream and bananas
When the heat just made me faint
I began to get cross-eyed
I thought I was lost, I'd
Begun to see things as they ain't

No, really, guess who.

For the record waysider, the name is actually "No Sugar Tonight / New Mother Nature" by The Guess Who, but not to confused with The Beatles' "Mother Nature's Son".  I'm just throwing that in there.  No particular reason. To have fun, I don't know.

Yeah that's right, you've already posted.  Not sure about the tune though.

[waysider]

So, if you ever get sickly
Get sis to run quickly
To the dusty closet shelf
And pull out a washboard
And play a guitar chord
And do a little do-it-yourself
Call on your neighbors
To put down their labors
And come and play the hardware in time
 

[waysider]

And the doctor said " Give him jug band music. It seems to make him feel just fine."

A little obscure, I may have never it before.  But I digged it.  (Digged, google doesn't like that word).

[Human without the bean]

Well, you've got your diamonds and you've got your pretty clothes
And the chauffeur drives your car
You let everybody know
But don't play with me,

 

Your mother she's an heiress, owns a block in Saint John's Wood
And your father'd be there with her
If he only could
But don't play with me,

[Human without the bean]

I'm calling it.  Not a particularly well-known song anyway.

New song, same group.

If I could stick my pen in my heart I'd spill it all over the stage.
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya?
Would you think "the boy is strange"?
Ain't he a strange?

The first one is Play With Fire by The Stones. I'm not sure on the second one.

That's right, Play With Fire.  For what it's worth I forgot I posted another song since the first post wasn't getting any bites.   The other song is It's Only Rock n' Roll.  But you got it correct waysider.  It's you're go.

No change, I can change, I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no no, no, no, no, no, no
(Have you ever been down?)

[Human without the bean]

Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
Where all the veins meet, yeah

No change, I can change, I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no no, no, no, no, no, no
(Have you ever been down?)

Well I've never prayed but tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

What a bittersweet song, Human!
