    Hmmmm.....I don't know any of them, however, here is a new one:

    Mama just killed a man,
    Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead
    Mama, life had just begun,
    But now I've gone and thrown it all away
    Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry,
    If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
    Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

    Go away from my window, go away at your own chosen speed. I am not the one you want babe, I am not the one you need. sung by Joan Biaz and Johnny Cash. Who wrote it and first sang it? Simon should know this one.

    Larc: Bob Dylan, It Ain't Me Babe.

    ... by his bob-ness of course.

    I will give a clue on mine. This was from the first, fantastic album of a solo male performer. Been going 25+ years

    Simon, are you really Celia posting under multiple aliases? *L* Both of you got it..

    How about this one..

    My dinner's on fire while she watches TV
    And if you've ever wondered what it's like to be me
    She takes all my money and leaves me no smokes
    Yells at my buddies and insults my folks
    I'm breakin' my back doin' the best that I can
    She's got time for the dog and none for her man
    And I'm no dope, but I can't cope
    So hit the *&^%$ing road and piss up a rope

    hillary: Is that David Bowie? Ashes to Ashes? Not sure what the album is called (may be the same name).

    I used to have all his early stuff ... Ziggy Stardust & Hunkey Dorey and fantastic.

    Edited to add: Just sang it in my head and it's not that!

    Aw, fer cryin' out loud, I thought mine was going to be a dead giveaway. No takers?

    Well here's a few more that may slip by unacknowledged...

    1. That little faggot with the earring and the makeup
      Yeah, buddy, that's his own hair
      That little faggot got his own jet airplane
      That little faggot, he's a millionaire
    2. He make the voices speak in riddles
      He got the eyes as black as coal
      He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide
      And he stands right in the road
    3. Once I rose above the noise and confusion
      Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
      I was soaring ever higher
      But I flew too high
    4. Who will go down to those shady groves
      And summon the shadows there
      And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
      In the springtime of the year?
    5. Women seem wicked
      When you're unwanted
      Streets are uneven
      When you're down

    (I'm editing, trying to get them to separate. Let's see if this does it)
