Name that tune

[gonesh9]

Name the Artist and Song. After you guess it right, throw out another song for us to guess.


Trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro
you have no word
trip, trip to a dream dragon
hide your wings in a ghost tower
sails crackiling at ev'ry plate we break
cracked by scattered needles
little minute gong
coughs and clears his throat
madam you see before you stand
hey ho, never be still
the old original favourite gran
grasshoppers green herbarian band
and the tune they play in us confide...

So trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro'
you have no word

[KrisPistofferson]

It's not from "The Pirate Movie" with Christy McNichol is it? You have an excellent website, by the way gonesh. Oregon is heaven!

Nope- Here's a hint: The artist was in a well known band at one point, but became a laughing madcap.

Thanks for the compliment krispistoferson....and yes, Oregon IS heaven!

Syd Barret Octopus.

ok, here's mine:

but only a snippet of the song:

"In conversation it could be said,
Well after war your heart is dead.
Well it's not hard to understand,
There is no heart in Harold Land. "

Good show, lotek!

I've got it:
"Harold Land" by Yes.

Here's another snipet of a song:

Boy on the bike, what are you like
As you cycle round the town?
You're going up, you're going down
You're going nowhere
It's not as if they're paying you
It's not as if it's fun
At least not anymore
When your legs are black and blue
It's time to take a break
When your legs are black and blue
It's time to take a holiday

Belle & Sebastian : The Fox in The Snow.

Now an easy one.

"You say black I say white
You say bark I say bite
You say shark I say hey man
Jaws was never my scene
And I don't like Star Wars
You say Rolls I say Royce
You say God give me a choice
You say Lord I say Christ
I don't believe in Peter Pan
Frankenstein or Superman
All I wanna do is.."

Queen- Bicycle Race

Here's another:

How can we understand
Riots by the people for the people
Who are only destroying themselves
And when you see a frightened
Person who is frightened by the
People who are scorching this earth

Music is the traveller crossing our world
Meeting so many people, bridging the seas
We're just...

Moody Blues - I'm just a singer

I've got a bike
You can ride it if you like
It's got a basket,
A bell that rings
And things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could
But I borrowed it

Fink Ployd -Syd Barret again. Bike.

[bombusben]

Syd Barret again.

You say it like its a bad thing...

[jeff williams]

His solo albums were weird, my psyce fav are german -Amon Duul II.

"The rain comes down but I don’t care
The wind is blowing in my hair
Seagulls flying in the air

See that man, he’s all alone
Looks so happy but he’s far from home
Ring my bell, smile at him
Better kick over his garbage bin

Policeman shouts but I don’t see him
They’re one thing I don’t believe in
Find some judge, but it’s not leavin’

Lift both hands, his head in disgrace
Shines no light upon my face
Through the darkness, we still speed"

[bombusben]

Nazareth My White Bicycle

...Old busted chains,
With busted handle bars
Out in the rain.
Somebody must
Have an orphanage for
All these things that nobody
Wants any more
September's reminding July
It's time to be saying good-bye....

...Don't tell my folks;
There's all those playing cards
Pinned to the spokes,
Laid down like skeletons
out on the lawn.
The wheels won't turn
When the other has gone...

[gonesh9]

His solo albums were weird

I like his solo stuff, lots of emotion there. Bike wasn't a solo thing anyways, it was an early Floyd tune written by Syd.

I know. ;) Piper at the gates of dawn.
I can't really remember the songs on his 2? solo abums.
But I remember thinking they were strange.

Yup, Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Barret was Pink Floyd in my opinion. But that's another thread.

Tom Waits- Broken Bicycles lyrics


"The hell of the north: Paris - Roubaix
The Cote d'Azur and Saint Tropez
The Alps and the Pyrennees
Last stage Champs-Elysees
Galibier and Tourmalet (2 mountains)
Dancing even on the top
Bicycling at high gear
Final sprint at the finish
Flat tire on the paving stones
The bicycle is repaired quickly
The peloton is regrouped
Comrades and friendship"

[jeff williams]

Darn..seconds too late on the T.Waits.

Kraftwerk :Tour de France.

[gonesh9]

Comrades and friendship"

Kraftwerk - Tour de France


Here's one:

Stop the car,
lay on the grass,
the planets spin and we watch space pass.

Walk a direction,
see where we get
I never knew nothin' so there's nothin' to forget
Get real drunk and ride our bikes
There's so much beauty it could make you cry

[jeff williams]

"Stop the car,
lay on the grass,
the planets spin and we watch space pass."


-Is Modest Mouse :So much beauty in dirt.

Next:

Push me off to start the fun
On a bike ride to the moon
Lots of room for everyone


And we'll bring back cheese for my Auntie Jane
And some magic moon dust that'll stop the rain
On my poor Uncle Alfred's head, even though he stays in bed (silly Alfred)

Why not bring a pot of tea
On a bike ride to the moon
Angel cake for you and me


And we'll pack a tent 'case it's cold at night
And I'll share your sleeping bag if I might
And might be a positive boon
To protect you from the man in the moon
(Who happens to be me, look out!)

Racing forward can't look back
On a bike ride to the moon
What did I omit to pack


With the stars all glinting in the shiny Chrome
Then I suddenly remembered what I left at home
Now I shan't be peddling any higher
'Cos a sharp sputnik has given me a cosmic flat tyre

I've ommited the song title from the lyrics.

[gonesh9]

Push me off to start the fun
On a bike ride to the moon
Lots of room for everyone....



ALright, I searched the internet for this one. But came up with:

(Sir John Johns) The Dukes of Stratosphear: Bike Ride to the Moon

Next:

We would drive up the Avenue, but we haven't got the price
We would skate up the Avenue, but there isn't any ice
We would ride on a bicycle, but we haven't got a bike
So we'll walk up the Avenue
Yes, we'll walk up the Avenue
And to walk up the Avenue's what we like

[RegularGuy]

XTC: Bike Ride to the Moon

I like this game. Here's an easy one:

Coming home after school,
Flying my bike past the gates of the factory.
My mom doing the laundry,
Hanging our shirts in the dirty breeze.

Simon & Garfunkle- My Little Town Lyrics

You have picked a bad spot
To smoke your pot
Whatcha gonna do two against one?
Now da whole thing’s silly
But I’m starin’ at the billy
Quietly askin’ myself now will he …

Use that thing
To make my eardrums ring
It’s all a bad dream
And I’m in South Philly
Now tell ‘em, Mr. Hohner …

Now this one is dedicated to the people all over.
Remember the words of your crucial entertainer.
When I say: I do not sniff the coke I only smoke the sensimilla.

Without a doubt I am the boss, in my class I am the teacher.
If music is the fruit of life then I will be a reaper.
If M. C. business was a school then I would be head master
if a car I'd be the driver, if a bike I'd be the rider.

"Life is to be lived on the positive tip
Never lose the ground
You never gonna slip
If you never lose the ground
Always draw the line
Never wear the frown
Should?ve got myself some bicycle wheels
Should?ve got myself some bicycle wheels
Should?ve got myself some bicycle wheels
On the wings of steel
There?s dinosaur?s in countries
Everyone that I?ve seen
There?s dinosaur?s in countries
If you know what I mean
I always keep a watch on the ever changing future
Doing what I want
And you could do what suits you
I said throw your hands in the air
I like to see your armpit hair
Throw your hands in the air
I like to see your armpit hair
Life is to be lived on the positive tip
I?ll never lose the ground
You know I?m never gonna slip
Never gonna slip, cause I never lose the ground
Always draw the line
You know I never wear the frown"

All the lazy dykes
cross-armed at the Palms
then legs astride their bikes
indigo burns on their arms

One sweet day - an emotional whirl
you will be good to yourself
and you’ll come and join the girls

All the lazy dykes

Morrissey - "All The Lazy Dykes"


"There was a sun once
It lit the whole damn sky
It kept everything alive
And there was a man once
He looked it straight in the eye
He saw everything
He went blind
The truth burns bright
There's too much there sometimes
The sun it shows, the sun it blinds
Best to keep your eyes
Stare at the sidewalk lines
Let lies lie don't let them shine
The blind man staggers
And he grabs at his eyes
He can't do anything
Everything is a lie
Now he sits around
And he stares at the walls
He can't do anything at all
Shield your eyes from all this misery"

[el twe]

I don't know, but here's one:

Goin' where the wind don't blow so strange,
Maybe off on some high cold mountain chain.
Lost one round but the price wasn't anything,
A knife in the back and more of the same.

Same old, rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb,
You know better but I know him.
Like I told you, what I said,
Steal your face right off your head.

[gonesh9]

Here's one:

Upon construction
there is the mohawk
his way of walking
quite high above the ground
fearless of looking down
skywalk
some people say that
the navajo know
a way of walking
quite high above the ground
fearless of looking down
oh no.

Sigur Ros: Hjartað Hamast

Google is a wonderful thing. :D

My baby must have been incarcerated.
Otherwise she would’ve been here today to
Testify that every word I stated,
While it may be complicated
Is the truly way.
See this woman here today I hardly even know her
OK maybe once or twice I might’ve give her a lift
But she never lent me any money, your Honor,
Every penny that she give me she said was a gift.
She said that it was a gift.
She said it was a gift.

My baby must’ve been incarcerated.
She had some trouble with an interstate cop who said
He saw her driving while obliterated
And was further frustrated by the way she wouldn’t stop.
So, they called out all the other cops and had a high speed chase.
That’s when my baby hit the side of the tree
That’s when I think they might’ve planted marijuana in the suitcase
The court appointed lawyer told us “Cop a plea.”
So, we copped a plea.
We copped a plea.


My baby must’ve been incarcerated
I never had a lot of luck with the ladies your honor
I never had a lot of luck with much of anything.
My baby’s mother wants to drive a Mercedes, you know?
My baby’s mother wants to wear a bunch of diamond rings.
She knows damn well I can’t afford these things.

My baby must’ve been incarcerated.
I’m kind of glad if I could tell you the truth.
But that don’t have a whole lot here to do with this matter.
You see this woman here today she just don’t have any proof.
I don’t know whose voice that could be there on the telephone recorder
Maybe her brother or some other friend who’s in on it too--
Maybe the same old friend who came in here and forged this signature
‘Cuz that is not my signature, I’m telling you the truth.
I am a-telling you the truth.
I’m telling you the truth.

My baby must’ve been incarcerated.
I understand about the verdict and everything, your Honor.
You’re just doing your job and that’s all right with me.
Just one more thing before I leave for all my friends and for my family
Can you tell me when this particular episode is going to be on TV.
I’m going to be on TV.

Nobody suffers like the poor people suffer.
Nobody suffers like the poor people suffer.
Nobody suffers like the poor people suffer.
