Welcome to Musical Monday #87. Musical Monday is a feature that Elie and I run, alternating hosting weeks. We provide the lyrics and you provide - without using Google - the songs and the theme that connects the songs.
I thought I had written them down. As always if someone wishes to add feel free.
1) Come on down Miranda
2) He blew in town at midnight and he didn't mean to stay
3) we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout.
4) I took the city bout one a.m, loaded, loaded
5) I'm gonna wait 'til the stars come out
6) And I've got one more silver dollar,
7) Wrapped up in a black cat cloak
8) Even the simple things become rough
9) Their lives is just one great big smile
10) I was on my way to Mobile for a big New Year's Eve show
11) Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
12) He kept dreamin', that someday he'd be a star.
13) I'll be knocking on your door, I'll be calling out your name
14) Staggering through the daytime
15) Send you camel to bed
16) And they march you to the table to see the same old thing.
17) We both live in seperate homes where there's no love at all
18) She sees a daytime stroller
19) Communications were all down
20) See it flashin' all around the trees
21) Only a fool would stay, stay and pretend, until the very end
22) And old town picnic tables
23) On the freeway with the throttle down
24) Silver bullets in the jukebox, spin another round
Good luck and thanks for playing

Posted by: Yitzchak Goodman at April 3, 2009 1:33 PMThere's a song with the lyrics "I go out walking/ after midnight."
Posted by: trn at April 4, 2009 8:57 PMAnyone know the lyrics to Midnight Cruiser by Steely Dan? I can only remember the chorus and one other line.
Posted by: Yitzchak Goodman at April 4, 2009 11:29 PMYitzchak: I thought about that one too, but it's not there.
Posted by: Clayton at April 5, 2009 12:58 AMMidnight Cruiser is not there. Clayton is correct.
On another note, I had asked a question about Jackson Browne writing about John Lennon. Jackson Browne and John Lennon share the same Birthday, Oct. 9. Which, BTW, is my birthday too. (The late John Entwistle from the who also was born Oct. 9.)
