Name the song the line is from Part II

Tony, that one's been up for 3+ days now. Seems that no one knows it.

That's not unusual. We've all posted lyrics that we thought would be easily guessed, but weren't.

Might be time to give it up, and try a different song.


Welcome to the thread, by the way.

Thanks - I guess that was a hard one

Answer - The Kinks - The Village Green Preservation Society.


Here is an easier one -

I went to heaven and I stood at the cross roads,
I'll love you tomorrow as sure as the wind blows.
Silver rain on the mountain clover
Washes away until the music is over.

Too difficult? Here's a clue
The band was made up of 2 Brits, one American, and for some of their career, one Canadian.
This track was with the Canadian.

OK, so I know it's CSN&Y, but I still have no idea about the song.

Was this thing ever released as a single? If not, and if I didn't own the album, might I have ever heard it anywhere like, say, on the radio?

It wasn't a hit single but it has had a lot of play.
It was unique because it was on the original full Woodstock recording even though it wasn't performed at the original Woodstock. Neil Young recorded it a month later and it was added to the album.

It was played by CSNY at the big Sur Festival and is featured on the album and in the documentary of the festival.

It was again featured at Woodstock 2 and appears on that collection.

The song is Sea of Madness.

Apologies if I'm picking stuff that is difficult. I'm a Brit, so I grew up on some American stuff but also lots that was popular in Britain but not so much in North America.

I have picked two, so would anyone else like to pick the next one?

"You took the part that
once was my heart"

Thanks for the explanation, Tony. We’re pretty much stuck on what was and is played here in the States.

Like the old standard Sue has presented. “All of me” has been done by countless popular artists since the 1930s.

This one is from 1981:

You play with words
you play with love
you can twist it around
Baby, that ain't enough

Edit: For grammar

Oops, didn't notice that there was activity on this thread, too.

That's Private Eyes, by Hall & Oates.


You know, 1981 was a pretty good year:

But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good

Good Morning All,

I sure do like REO Speedwagon, Jim. That one is “Take it on the run”. BTW, have you ever seen an REO Speedwagon car? Our county fair has one on display every year. It’s a beauty.

This may not be the biggest hit. But it’s kind of fun and I’m sure someone knows it:

Look at you, looking like you just begun
Aren't you just the envy of everyone
Holding on breaths until you give a sign
Go on, you know you got it,
let 'em wait in line

I know that's a Barry Manilow song- but the name escapes me ..
Some Kind of Friend you turned out to be?
From the first if not one of the very early albums

I took an Alieve and am semi loopy...

Ya gotta GIVE a little


Take a little


and let your poor heart break a little
