1. I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled
Yeah, yeah

2. One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home, and I hope he finds it

3. Watching in a trance,
The crew is certain.
Nothing left to chance,
All is working.

4. I really couldn't help but fall in love with her
Her being there has made my life worth living
I knew it from the start
That I would lose my heart

5. I know you've heard it all before
So I don't say it anymore
I just stand by and let you
Fight your secret war

6. I must have blacked out just around then
'Cause the very next thing that I could see
Was the light of the day again
My stomach was full as it could be

7. Walk but you'll never ge`t away
No, you'll never get away from the burnin' a-heartache
I walked to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go

8. Everybody's misused him
Ripped him up and abused him
Another junkie plan
Pushin' dope for the man
A terrible blow but that's how it goes

9. And if he can't drive
With a broken back
At least he can polish the fenders

10. Clearly I remember
Pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck

11. There he stood in the night
Knowing what's wrong from what's right
He took her home to meet his mama and papa
Now he had a terrible fright

12. And with her head upon his shoulder
His young and lovely fiancee
From where I stood I saw she was crying
And through her tears I heard her say

3. Watching in a trance,

Major Tom - Schilling

I think it's Peter but I'm not sure. Is this like Jeopardy where just the last name is acceptable unless it's Roosevelt or Johnson?

[littlebeast13]

With regards to Song #9....

DON'T LOOK IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED YET!

I removed that song once I found out Anthony was in the parenthetical and not the main title, but had unfortunately already pasted the lyrics into the game. So when I added Jeremy as its replacement, I pasted it into #10 without even thinking. So that cost this game a Jim Croce song (You get two guesses which one) and left that damn parenthetical in the game!!!!
