I wish that for just one time,
you could stand inside my shoes

Yes I wish that for just one time
you could stand inside my shoes,
you'd know what a drag it is to see you.

Don't confront me with my failures, I had not forgotten them

These Days - Jackson Browne

HE'S A LIAR! And I'm not sure about you...

i think this is john lennon's best effort.
and what an effort , he may even be having a little liverpool joke with the last two words.
who could be anything but moved by the painfully poignant clip of him and his wife strolling in central park....redemption at its very best........

'i love you, yeah, yeah'

'woman'................................john lennon

Bit of a negative vibe there, apologies. So ending with something more upbeat

1 & 3 correct, 5 is not 'Get Back'. Open to the panel.

5 sounds like Have I The Right. Am I right?

I asked the captain what his name was
And how come he didn't drive a truck
He said his name was Columbus
I just said, "Good luck."

Once I was so sure
Now the doubt inside my mind
Comes and goes, but leads nowhere

Japan - Ghosts

And another left, meet me on the corner

Is this worth another request? Probably not but here goes nothing...

'Love reign o'er me' - The Bettye LaVette version from the Kennedy Center Honors.

Stunning stuff!

Can we have the Beatles' two closing lines:

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make.
(assuming you quietly ignore Her Majesty)

or

I'd like to thank you on behalf of myself and the group and I hope we passed the audition.

She takes off the Four Tops tape and puts it back in its case
When the world falls apart some things stay in place

#62

My ears need cleaning out - that's not what I heard Terence Trent D'Arby sing at all.

Easy guess:

I search the place for your lost face, guess I'll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you.

Slightly tougher (although I know JFE will get it)

Bang, bang, shoot, shoot
White gloves thumb, Lord thy will be done
He was always a good boy his mother said
He'll do this duty when he's grown, yeah
Everybody got someone they call home

"I can't think of anything to say except...
I think it's marvellous! HaHaHa!"
