What song does this lyric come from -

I’m a professional cynic but my hearts not in it. 

[Uncle Fred 526]

And second song - 

I had a couple seeds, I made a forest

[FenwayFrank 2,456]

I’m going to go “ oh yeah” when you say. Give me a bit to think about it

[Flying Dutchman 744]

Blur - Country House

Cracking tune that. I won't post the answer up so as not to ruin it for others.

Ain't no tellin' when I'm down for a jack move.

first person to get all 3 wins a night of uncontrolled passion with LDC.

I'm off on a 300 mile round trip today (coming back in the morning after a night on the beer though) to see the band that created this lyric.

Out of place, like a gem on a coalface,

Lost on the right way, it's all the same

Not paying attention to lyrics has finally paid off.😀

Cheers buddy - weighed up the pros and cons and decided to chance it - they were incredible last year when I saw them - I've been to a lot of gigs and they were right up there. The set list for this one is insane and it's basically a hometown show for them as they're from the area they are playing tonight. It's pretty much the last risk I'm taking in terms of this kind of thing and Covid so hopefully it'' be ok.

An old school friend of my brothers was their tour manager back in the day. That's my Shaun Keaveny style small claim to fame.😀

 

Yes, sorry, I did have to google it.

For a football connection - that was MOTD’s goal of the month tune back in the day!

Ah, I think I know that one now

[PurpleCanary 5,554]

1) Just before our love got lost, you said

"I am as constant as a northern star, " and I said

"Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me, I'll be in the bar"

On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh, Canada
With your face sketched on it twice.

---

2) It's on America's tortured brow

That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns.

---

 

3) And no one's gone over to close his eyes

And there's a racing form in his pocket,
Circled Blue Boots in the third
And the cashier at the clothing store didn't say a word
As the siren tears the night in half, and someone lost his wallet
Well, a surveillance of assailance, it that's what you want to call it
And the whores hike up their skirts and fish for drug-store prophylactics
With their mouths cut just like razor blades and their eyes are like stilettos
And her radiator's steaming and her teeth are in a wreck, and nah,
She won't let you kiss her, but what the hell do you expect?
And the gypsies are tragic and if you want to buy perfume,
Well, they'll bark you down like carneys, sell you christmas cards in June,
But ........... ............... got rained on with his own thirty-eight.

Yes and yes. The third is by a different great (US) singer/storyteller/poet of the street.
