Name That Classic Rock Song (Fun Music Thread)

[Ky Fried Redleg]

It's not as easy as one might think when all you have is words. I'll try to post one every day or two. Can you name the song off the top of your head? We'll start with a favorite from my teenage years:

Times are hard
You're afraid to pay the fee
So you find yourself somebody
Who can do the job for free
When you need a bit of lovin'
'Cause your man is out of town
That's the time you get me runnin'
And you know I'll be around ...



Light the candle
Put the lock upon the door
You have sent the maid home early
Like a thousand times before
Like the castle in its corner
In a medieval game
I foresee terrible trouble
And I stay here just the same ...

He's your oldest and your best friend
If you need him, he'll be there again
He's always willing to be second best
A perfect lodger, a perfect guest

... , read it on the wall
And realize, you just can't have it all
You can't have it all

He'll never make any enemies
He won't complain if he's caught in a freeze
He'll always ask
He'll always say please

... never take it all
'Cause it's easier, faster when you fall
You just don't need it all

Doing alright
A little jiving on a Saturday night
And come what may
Gonna dance the day away

Jenny was sweet
She always smiled for the people she'd meet
On trouble and strife
She had another way of looking at life

The news is blue
Has its own way to get to you
What can I do
I'll not remember my time with you

Pick up your feet
You've got to move to the trick of the beat
There is no elite
Just take your place in the ...

Does any one know where the love of God goes

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, well
It surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say ...
