Name the song the line is from Part II

Last hint: the film version of Cats was one of John Mills' last screen appearances as the title character of the song, whose name is the last three letters of the name of a popular spring vegetable.

Just a wild guess -- Gus?

I saw "Cats," but don't remember any of their names, lol.

"Gus, the Theatrical Cat" from a poem by T.S.Eliot. You are correct.

Hey everybody,

Have y'all decided to ditch this thread? I hope not because I really miss the posts. Even though I'm a very infrequent participant, I offer the following lyrics from one of Canada's great singer-songwriters in an attempt to revive the thread:

... because you're a rambler and a gambler and a sweet-talkin' ladies' man...

because you're a rambler and a gambler and a sweet-talkin' ladies' man...

Joni Mitchell
Court & Spark
Freedom is the name but the whole album blends into one song for me/ big Joni fan here.

If there's one thing I have learned from all this livin'...
is that it wouldn't mean a thing if I let go

Hint: Bard is a BIG fan/ ..has the outfit to prove it

Just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in


Some of you may have thought that was Michael Corleone, in Godfather III, talking about the mafia.
Nah, it's just clcjim, in the Kitchen Sink, talking about the lyrics thread.


'Cat, your lyrics are from Trip Around The Sun, by Jimmy Buffett.


OK, this is from the early 90s:

And I won't break, and I won't bend
But someday soon we'll sail away
To innocence, and the bitter end

Hi All,

It’s nice to see this thread going again. Excellent choice, Jim.
I love that Elton John music. That’s “The Simple Life”.

This is good too:

And you might as well try to stop the rain
Or stand on the tracks of a runaway train

Just like Noahcat to post a Jimmy Buffett song while I'm offline for 2 weeks.

No idea about the current lyric- seems like a song you'd remember if you had ever heard it. Reminded me of another song that compared love to riding on a train. Maybe I'll post it next time.

Cyndee's lyrics are from Love Sneakin' Up On You, by Bonnie Raitt.


Easy one from the 70s:

Me and you are subject to the blues now and then

Song Sung Blue by Neil Diamond.
