Fun Quiz - Sheets, sheets, sheets
Hi everyone,
Thanks to Jela for that fun quiz we had to work on last week. I've had this quiz on the back burner for a while and thought I'd toss it out today. It occurred to me one day that EP does like his sheets.......the ten lyric samples below confirm that.
Your mission, should you agree to accept it, is to name the songs that include the lines of lyric below. Let's take one guess at a time.
1. As the world swept by with its violence
I thought of the shelter we'd find in the sheets
(Changing Your Name)
2. And whatever excuse she makes up for what happened in the sheets
Lord knows, some things have got to change
(Mrs. Jones)
3. .....is dreaming in my sheets
(Home)
4. you were sleeping warm as coal
in a pocket of comfort and white sheets
(Love's Too Familiar a Word - [poem])
5. the sheets are on the line
the flannel ones are mine
(Welcome Home to Maine)
6. when she comes to you wrapped in her sheets
is she beautiful?
(Art of Distance)
7. she is laying in flannel sheets
brass bed speaks "come on lie in me"
(Just the Jester Fool)
8. she ain't worth the hotel sheets
twisted on the bed
(She Was)
9. she comes to my bed like a whisper
slips in the sheet like a ghost.
(Seize the Day)
10. working like a wool blanket on a cotton sheet.
(Harmony [poem])
Have I missed any?
Have fun!

Re: Fun Quiz - Sheets, sheets, sheets
I was listening to some old Van Morrison over the weekend and was again surprised by T.B. Sheets!
Did I miss any???
I only got 1 of 9....so I'll guess quickly before someone else beats me to it!!!

# 7 From Just The Jester Fool
So I say, "I, uh, like your wooden floor boards"
She is laying in flannel sheets
The brass bed speaks
Come on lie in me
And there I'm standing naked and meek, stalling She says lovingly...

Paddy, I'm sure you know most of these songs. Perhaps you're tired.

#6 - The Art of Distance
When she comes to you wrapped in her sheets
Ain't she beautiful?
Are you going to tell her?
When the touch begins
One step closer
Two steps back again
If you knew...
Awesome Karen!
Dean [and Elaine]
Another one on the list I put on the iPod and hit constant repeat hasn't been answered yet...

Re: Fun Quiz - Sheets, sheets, sheets
Based on clues from Patti and Dean......I'll give another one of these a shot. Pure guess.
9. she comes to my bed like a whisper
slips in the sheet like a ghost.
How about the hidden track on one of the early records......the song about Margaret Putnam?
The title...or untitled track is referred to as "Ghost" -- I think?

Dean, you got it.
Paddy, you came up with another one too! I knew you could do it!
Patti, are you going to actually give us the title of the song?

Re: Fun Quiz - Sheets, sheets, sheets
Folks,
Patti reminded me of another (way to go, Patti!) so I've added one more to the list. HINT: lyrics can be from songs or poems.

#9 Seize the Day.... love that song, and not one that ever got played live very often, at least at the shows I've been to.
she comes to my bed like a whisper
slips in the sheet like a ghost.
I wonder if the Rollaway Bed had sheets on it.!!

Re: Fun Quiz - Sheets, sheets, sheets
I know the last one!
It's from the intro to one of the "Conversation with a Ghost"s on LIVE . The reference is comparing Patti Griffin's voice to Ellis's.... and if I remember correctly, was a writing exercise?

Re: Fun Quiz - Sheets, sheets, sheets
Wendy, you're correct that #10 is the track preceding "conversation with a ghost" on disk 2 of Live.....I don't remember it being a writing exercise.....although it could have been the way my memory is.
Do you have a title?

Okay, question #2 has to be Mrs. Jones. Thinking about this song makes me really want to pull the Live CD out. I haven't heard this song in such a long time.

Re: Fun Quiz - Sheets, sheets, sheets
Becky and all,
Oddly enough (another BIG hint) it was listening to back-to-back songs on Disk 2 of the live CD that sparked the quiz. (That disk actually contains three of the sheets songs.)

Since no one has answered #4 yet, I thought I might...it's from the poem "Love's too familiar a word."
Gosh, now that I wrote that, I hope it's right.

From the 1972 self titled release Willis Alan Ramsey comes this song.....Shawn Colvin recorded it, too!
Satin Sheets
by Willis Alan Ramsey (who played in my best friend's back yard in Houston in the early 70's)
I wish I was a millionaire
Play rock music and grow long hair
Tell your boys
‘Bout a new Rolls-Royce
Pretty women callin' me
Give ‘em all the third degree
Give ‘em satin sheets
To keep ‘em off the streets
Hallelujah let me sock it to ya
Praise the Lord, and pass the mescaline
Trade your whole world
You'll come over
As soon as you see me boogie-woogie ‘cross the silver screen
Hang ‘em high, hang ‘em low
Put ‘em in the ceilings wherever I go
And they'd swing all night
In the rafter light
Hallelujah, what's it to ya?
Got your coffee, me, I got my Spanish tea
Trade your whole world
You'll come over
As soon as you hear me playing my calliope
I wish I was a millionaire
Play rock music and grow long hair
Tell your boys
‘Bout a new Rolls-Royce
Thanks Karen......once again, BIG FUN!!!
