GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #242 (GOLQ242)
Welcome to GOLQ #242. There is no theme, but all of the songs,
including the tie-breakers, have something in common with each other.
If we have our usual flood of 500++ entrants, we will discriminate among
the perfect scores by giving additional credit to those who have been able
to identify what's in common.
Have fun! And Happy New Year!
Tom and Rick <golq242@golq.org>

Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #242
Recordings #01-25 were from 1956 through 1969
Due 5:00 p.m. EDT (GMT-4), Saturday, March 31, 2007
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A honeymoon hotel
Two weeks of love in bloom
A few uncertain months
And then a bleak and lonely room
#01)
Down in F-L-A
#02)
I fuss with my woman
And I toil with my kids
I sweat 'til I'm
Wrinkled and gray
#03)
Those days of pretzels and soda and beer
#04)
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true
#05)
But here on the sand I can dream away
Or look at the girls if they're pretty
#06)
The caterpillar sheds his skin
To find a butterfly within
#07)
She said that she'd meet me at a quarter to nine
Believe it or not, but she was right on time
#08)
With the sky so full of stars and the river so full of song
Every heart should be so thankful
#09)
I'm just a fella with a one, one track mind
#10)
You took the vow with me, yeah,
And you spoke it, and you spoke it
#11)
I'm not too proud to shout it
Tell the world about it
That I love you
#12)
You know you done me wrong, baby
And you'll be sorry some day
#13)
I know five hun'rd don't sound like much (cheap)
But just try to find somebody to touch
#14)
They always will haunt me although we're apart
#15)
I need you, oh my darling
Like roses need rain
#16)
If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small
Say it's me that you'll adore
Now and forevermore
#17)
Just you know why,
Why you and I
Will by and by know
#18)
Sunset I laugh, sunrise I cry
Midnight I'm in-between, and wondering why
#19)
You know I'll be your slave
If you ask me to
But if you don't behave
I'll walk right out on you
#20)
I want you back again
I want your love again
I know you find it hard to reason with me
#21)
I know that I know my own heart
But you say I'm trying to rush
#22)
I just want some reaction
Someone to give me satisfaction
All I want to do is stick with you
'Cause I love you
#23)
Blown by wind, kissed by the snow
All that's left is the dark below
#24)
You know he treats me bad, makes me sad
Makes me cry but I can't deny
That I still love him
#25)
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
There's one for you
Nineteen for me
#T1)
And still on a winter's night, they say, when the wind is in the trees
When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas
When the road is a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor
#T2)
