Re: L.C. Song Hunt
Thanks Herbsttag, I have more time now.
Welcome to the forum and this game!
I took a guess because of Tom Waits first album Closing Time.
I don’t know off-hand about a book by that name.
Hopefully this song won’t be too hard to guess.
Some lines include a declaration of guilt and righting a wrong.

Thanks for the welcome. The novel is Joseph Heller's sequel to Catch-22.B4real wrote:Thanks Herbsttag, I have more time now.

To answer your question, is it Bird On A Wire?
Like a baby, stillborn,
like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.

Re: L.C. Song Hunt
Well done Herbsttag, that’s correct
and thanks for the info about that book.
I have to say I felt inexplicably compelled to ask for that song title. Possibly because I’ve just listened to or watched precisely 512 versions of Bird On The Wire!!! I think I’ve hypnotised myself
I feel in a slightly catatonic state at the moment! I’m compiling a book of LC’s songs & versions & improvisations with artwork and knew it would be a marathon task but OMG!
Here are some (not all) BOTW variations that I’ve come across:
I have tried my very best to be free ...
Like a fish on a hook ...
I have broken (saved) all my sorrows (upon/to/for) on thee ...
If I, if I have been unkind
And I have sometimes ...
If I have been untrue, if I have been untrue
I know, baby, I know, I never fooled you ...
Now I hope you know by now
It was never, it was never like you ...
Back to you now if you want to post the next question.

Re: L.C. Song Hunt
Your book project sounds like a lot of fun! I know what you mean about hypnotising onesself. I've been listening to If It Be Your Will on repeat for the past day or two and I can almost hear it in my sleep.B4real wrote:Well done Herbsttag, that’s correctand thanks for the info about that book.

Re: L.C. Song Hunt
Is it Field Commander Cohen, parachuting acid into diplomatic cocktail parties?
Re: L.C. Song Hunt
On second thought, you're probably looking for the "Master Song" ("And he took you up in his aeroplane / which he flew without any hands").
Re: L.C. Song Hunt
Thanks.Herbsttag wrote:It's the Master Song, though Field Commander Cohen kinda fits too.
Re: L.C. Song Hunt
Two songs in which the narrator states that he has been very patient.
The first song mentions a colourful animal.
The second song mentions a famous composer.

Miracle is correct.
Jazz Police however ... Where is the colourful animal? - Oh, you mean the turtle. I'm looking for a song that mentions an animal that is much more colourful than a turtle - and also much faster.
Re: L.C. Song Hunt
Hey, I've been sitting here since Wednesday morning, waiting patiently for this question!
Also, I guess, turtle meat is even more colourful than a turtle itself.
Heh...
