Answers & Points - Lyrically Speaking - 1/9/09

For this year's first installment of Free For All Friday, we're gonna play a little Bored Buddy hide and seek! There have been LS games before that used titles and artists with BB handles, but this one will operate just a little differently. Each of the following 15 songs has the Bored name of at least one BB hidden somewhere in its lyrics (Obviously, not the set that I have chosen to post!). For each song in which you find a hidden BB, you will get a bonus point, making the non-JJC max score for this game 45 points!
A few ground rules for this game:
You may only use a certain BB once. This will prevent any BB's with names that show up a lot from being used multiple times.
You may only use the BB's well-known Bored handle, or commonly used nickname (None of those pet names that only a few people use, not that I'm singling anyone out here like, oh, Fanny). Numbers in a handle obviously are to be ignored.
Only BB's who are currently in the expanded rankings edition (250+ posts) may be used. This will keep anyone from invoking names of BB's nobody remembers.
You may, and are in fact encouraged to use my most recent expanded rankings list while playing this game. You will find it here:

I will accept any nicknames I use in the rankings since I only use common ones....
Happy searching! This game closes sometime after 7 AM CST on Monday morning.....
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, and 1 point for each song in which you find the hidden BB....
1. Jocko says yes and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they're standin' in each other's way
2. The years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
3. They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you can't sleep with somebody else
4. Well, if it rains, I don't care, don't make no difference to me
Just take that street car that's goin' uptown
5. She'll take a tumble on you,
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue
6. Are you going to take me home tonight
Ah down beside that red firelight
Are you gonna let it all hang out
7. So please
Believe in me
When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain'd bright colors
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsud green like bubbles
8. The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the Cap'n's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
9. Working hard to get my fill, everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice, just one more time
10. Flyin' high we never took the time
To stop and feel the need
Funny how those years go by
Changing you, changing me
11. So I handed him my bottle, and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light
12. I went hiking with Joe Spivey
He developed poison ivy
You remember Leonard Skinner
He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner.
13. Heard about the old time sailor men
They eat the same thing again and again
Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead
Well it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn
14. Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
15. You never care for secrets I confide
For you I'm just an ornament, somethin' for your pride
Always runnin', never carin', that's the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time were all ya had to give
