Name That Tune

[wabrams]

Try this one:

*You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want your story to remain untold.
But all the promises we made
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you.

You say you’ll give me a highway with no-one on it
A treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night.
*

Hi, sorry for delay in posting mmm1 is correct, it is the Smiths “there is a Light” from their album The Queen is Dead. It was a single here in GB but may not have been in the US.
Well done mmm1!

Thanks, ora_pro_nobis, & thanks for reminding me of a really neat friend! I couldn’t think of the title, but I’ll try a new song anyway…
The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways

I’m not sure if anyone is still playing this game… I don’t recognize wabrams’ song, but here is a bit more of the one I started…

The screen door slams, Mary’s dress sways.
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays.
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely,
Hey, that’s me & want you only.
Don’t send me home again,
I just can’t face myself alone again.

Hey that’s Bruce Springsteen! I had a colleague at work who was really into him. It’s Thunder Road .
My favourite has always been Born to Run - reminds me of being in the 6th form at school, when we had a portable record player in the common room.
Try this one:
“Here’s my chance to dance my way
out of my constrictions
Givin’ you more of what you’re funkin’ for
(Feet don’t fail me now)
(Feet don’t fail me now)
Do you promise to funk, the whole funk,
nothin’ but the funk”

Hi, ora_pro_nobis, I’m afraid people have lost interest in this game…Born To Run is one of my favorites, I was lucky enough to see Bruce in 1985. I was just lucky to guess The Smiths, I have NO IDEA about this latest song, but it is definitely cracking me up!

Funkadelic, “One Nation Under A Groove”

     Sun's up, uh huh, looks okay
    The world survives into another day
    And I'm thinking about eternity
    Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me

[ora_pro_nobis]

Jimmy Buffet, Wondering Where the Lions Are

Well she never asks for very much and I don’t refuse her
Always treat her with respect, I never would abuse her.
What she’s got is hard to find, and I don’t want to lose her.
Help me build a mansion from my little pile of clay. Hey, hey, hey

Sorry, right title, wrong songwriter.

“She’s A Lady” Performer Tom Jones, can’t find if he’s the writer or not.
