The New 1970s Lyrics Game

O.K., I'll give ya a hint.

The Band was formed by former members of the Jeff Beck Group, including Bobby Tench, Max Middleton and Clive Chaman.

I'm guessing Island of Dreams by the Hummingbirds.  I doubt that that is correct but wondering why you overlooked my clue??





The morning is dead and the day is too
There's nothing left here to lead me, but the velvet moon
All my loneliness I have felt today
It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away

I don't think you'll be able to find the lyrics to this song, but there is a video of it. I use to have this 8 track.

It was a cold night in New York City
It don't get much colder than that
But, you oughta felt the heat
Down on 42nd street

Fire and Brimstone  --  Hummingbird   Good one Poke, I got it by listening to the song. 

The morning is dead and the day is too
There's nothing left here to lead me, but the velvet moon
All my loneliness I have felt today
It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away

Burning of the Midnight Lamp  --  Jimi Hendrix


      
   

Here's an easy one that everybody should know, that also connects the gun theme and this fire theme:

Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground


  

Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple

Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall

Hurricane  --  Bob Dylan



My body is burning it starts to shout
Desire's coming it breaks out loud
Lust is in cages, till storm breaks loose
Just have to make it with someone I choose

My body is burning it starts to shout
Desire's coming it breaks out loud
Lust is in cages, till storm breaks loose
Just have to make it with someone I choose

"Rock You Like A Hurricane"  by  The Scorpions   

She held me spellbound in the night
dancing shadows and firelight
crazy laughter in another
room and she drove herself to madness
with a silver spoon

She held me spellbound in the night
dancing shadows and firelight
crazy laughter in another
room and she drove herself to madness
with a silver spoon

Witchy Woman - The Eagles


Every day's a holiday when your lips meet mine
The music's keepin' time with our love
You are here, and so am i
The weather's quite divine
So pass me round your wine, lovely one

Every day's a holiday when your lips meet mine
The music's keepin' time with our love
You are here, and so am i
The weather's quite divine
So pass me round your wine, lovely one

Light Up - Styx 


I'm getting flashbacks from high school 


I got a nickel now, you got a dime
Let's get together and have a good time
Goin' to buy a fifth, going to buy a joint
when you gettin' down now, you doin' things right"

 

I got a nickel now, you got a dime
Let's get together and have a good time
Goin' to buy a fifth, going to buy a joint

Fire On The Bayou  --  The Meters and The Neville Brothers

There's a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove

Back Home Again  --  John Denver 



       
 

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, oh what a thrill

Great Balls of Fire - Goose.... er, make that Jerry Lee Lewis

Here's another one that fits this theme and the last...


They needed a man who was brave and true
With justice for all was his aim
Then out of the sun rode a man with a gun
And Bart was his name, yes, Bart was his name

---

Sorry 'bout the gun post this morning, the coffee hadn't kicked in yet...

Blazing Saddles Theme  --  Frankie Laine   And another double themer, connecting guns and fire!

---

Sorry 'bout the gun post this morning, the coffee hadn't kicked in yet...

mj, You were connecting to a 'gun and fire' song, so no problem......

.....I almost followed with this 'gun' song this morning....and I'll use it now anyway:

<span style="color: #ff0033;"> Nothin' haunts a man like knowin' that he's free to choose.
So he lets up off the gas when he thinks of all he's got to lose.
Well, you work all day, live just like a slave.
Hustlin' for a seat on the slow shuttle to the grave.

   

Shotgun in a Chevy - Nine Pound Hammer

The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet 
I fell for you like a child
Oh but the fire went wild   

The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet 
I fell for you like a child
Oh but the fire went wild  

Ring Of Fire - Johnny Cash

But they're not much compared to your house
Fifty feet high, with barbed wire
Guards on the top, aiming rifles at your lovers

But they're not much compared to your house
Fifty feet high, with barbed wire
Guards on the top, aiming rifles at your lovers

Blue Flame - Joe Jackson


The way you swerve and curve, really wrecks my nerves
And I'm so excited, child [Yeah], woo, woo
The way you push, push let's me know that you're good
You're gonna get your wish] Oh, yeah

The way you swerve and curve, really wrecks my nerves
And I'm so excited, child [Yeah], woo, woo
The way you push, push let's me know that you're good
You're gonna get your wish] Oh, yeah

"Fire"  by  Ohio Players 
 

All you guitar players
Scalding hot
And Zeke's going at it
Givin' it everything he's got

All you guitar players

Stand in the Fire - Warren Zevon

It's crazy how these things work out, I used to think I had no chance
And I somehow thought you'd slip away
You pulled me through the fear and doubt, gave me all I'm looking for
Everything I needed to stay

They burned the churches up in Harlem
Like in that Spanish Civil War
The flames were everywhere 

"Miami 2017"  by  Billy Joel 

Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky

Nothin' haunts a man like knowin' that he's free to choose.
So he lets up off the gas when he thinks of all he's got to lose.
Well, you work all day, live just like a slave.
Hustlin' for a seat on the slow shuttle to the grave.

Sorry about skipping over your post. I got distracted and didn't see it. But, it was Uneasy Rider.

Drinking Wine Spo-de-Odie - Jerry Lee Lewis.
