I Can Name That Tune in ... ???

[Science Friction]

I'll give you some lyrics of a classic tune from yesteryear(you know, back when music was good) and you tell me the name of the tune. If you know it , feel free to NAME THAT TUNE. Only answer if you know it off the top of your head.

No googling the answer, please.

 

On a morning from a Bogart movie

In a country where they turn back time

You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre

Contemplating a crime

 

She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running

Like a watercolor in the rain

Don't bother asking for explanations

She'll just tell you that she came...

... What a tale my thoughts could tell

Just like an old time movie

About a ghost from a wishing well

In a castle dark or a fortress strong

With chains upon my feet

You know that ghost is me

And I will never be set free

As long as I'm a ghost you can

[Mack The Knife]

Got out of town on a boat goin' to Southern Islands

Sailing a reach before a followin' sea

She was makin' for the trades on the outside

And the downhill run to Papeete

 

Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas

We got eighty feet of the waterline nicely making way

In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you

But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away

Very nice, Mack. This is right up your alley.

Well, I went home with the waitress

The way I always do

How was I to know

She was with the Russians, too

 

I was gambling in Havana

I took a little risk

Send .....................

Dad, get me out of this

I doubt there's a song from the 50's through the '90's I could stump you with. You're the best when it comes to old movies/songs. Simply the best!!!

She said she's married her an architect

Who kept her warm and safe and dry

She would have liked to say she loved the man

But she didn't like to lie

 

I said the years had been a friend to her

And that her eyes were still as blue

But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw

Doubt or gratitude

...

The beer was empty and our tongues were tired

And running out of things to say

She gave a kiss to me as I got out

And I watched her drive away

 

Just for a moment I was back at school

And felt that old familiar pain

And, as I turned to make my way back home

The snow turned into rain

One pill makes you larger

And one pill makes you small

And the ones that mother gives you

Don't do anything at all

Go ask Alice when she's ten feet tall

...

 

When men on the chessboard

Get up and tell you where to go

And you've just had some kind of mushroom

And your mind is moving slow

Go ask Alice, I think she'll know

7. One of SF's all-time fave's...

Love of two is one

Here but now they're gone

Came the last night of sadness

And it was clear she couldn't go on

 

Then the door was open and the wind appeared

The candles blew then disappeared

The curtains flew then he appeared, saying don't be afraid
