Finally one from my era

I Am the Walrus,by The Beatles

Assuming I am correct here is my lyric


"You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in."

Ahhh this is a freakin classic Pink Floyd song. "Dogs". About businessmen and their lives.

It's Green River by John Fogarty and his backing band - sorry - Creedence Clearwater Revival.

1/2 each DW I reckon!

This and that, they must be the same
what is legal is just what's real
what I'm given to understand
is exactly what I steal
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
I was shocked to find what was allowed
I didn't lose myself in the crowd


One for the oldies :P One of the greatest songs of the punk era.

Yes! And it's called..........???? Hint Rolling Stone Magazine named it the song of 1978 and The Buzzcocks recorded a song "Lipstick" which has an almost identical tune. (to be far Shelley was credited with co-writng this)

I am not so serious
This passion is a plagiarism
I might join your century
But only on a rare occasion
I was taken out
Before the labor pains set in and now
Behold the world's worst accident
I am the [insert song title here]

"you can tell
from the scars on my arms
and cracks in my hips
and the dents in my car
and the blisters on my lips
that i'm not the carefullest of girls

you can tell
from the glass on the floor
and the strings that're breaking
and i keep on breaking more
and it looks like i am shaking
but it's just the temperature
and then again
if it were any colder i could disengage
if i were any older i could act my age
but i dont think that youd believe me
it's not the way i'm meant to be
it's just the way the operation made me"

That you're sorry that you asked
