Subject: new Unusual lyrics #2
Again, nobody got this one before...
Name a 70s hit (I think it was 70s) that mentions the word "scabbard."
Subject: Re: new Unusual lyrics #2
Well Zella, U2 mention it in "When Love Comes To Town" :
"I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword"
but by one of your earlier admissions you stopped listening to music in the early 80's, so I KNOW you wouldn't think this was the 70's

That is absolutly true. The one I am thinking of was definately 70-72, as I'm certain I have it in one of my lyrics quizes. (not the line with the scabbard, tho'.)

Zella !
Panic Alert !
You're making us all hang out for further clues..... :'(
Subject: Re: new Unusual lyrics #2
That's okay, I don't mind providing clues. Once you've begged for them, that is. ;) (ooops, am I being influenced by the ribaldry on the Playful Penguin Place ??? )
Clue: A 60s/70s "art band" that had only two hits in the US.
(My definition of "art band" is a band whose name you need a dictionary to figure out, and who whose music showed classical influence.)
The song we are trying to identify is the lesser of the two hits. A semi-hit actually.

Here's one for unusal lyrics!
And the patches make the goodbye harder still!
Any guesses to where this comes from!
Subject: Re: new Unusual lyrics #2
Although not a Cat Stevens fan, I am able to answer this one. It is... "Oh, Very Young"... or something.

Yes Bobo,
You are correct!
Peace,Cat Lover
Subject: Re: new Unusual lyrics #2
"Oh Very Young" is my all-time favorite song and that line is my favorite one.
Here is another unusual lyrical display of Cat's talent...
"I built my house from barely rice, green pepper walls and water ice... tables of paperwood, windows of light and everything emptying ...." I can't go further because it would reveal the name....but all Cat fans can get the answer to this LSD induced classic.
Peace,
A
