OK, I really should have gotten the Sex Police and EC lyrics. The Paul Simon was vaguely familiar, but I don't own that album (Hearts & Bones?), so I'm forgiving myself. And though I've had Stand Up on my To Buy list for ages--if only for "Look Into the Sun," one of my all-time favorite Tull songs--I'm not feeling too bad about missing the lyric there, either.
A lot of completely unfamiliar stuff, though, so I suppose I can feel somewhat better about my crappy showing.
A lot of the stuff that turned up is from various odd-ball comps that I've collected, including a multi-disk early punk thing that turned up a lot of songs here. I would not have gotten most of them myself.
J is embarrassed for you that you didn't get "He Stopped Loving Her Today".
