You got it Ann ! Thank God somebody read my clues ! lol (and refreshed their screen)

This turned out to be a mind-bending trip through how Gord uses words you would associate with certain songs imediately, in other songs...know what I mean ? Like, when I hear 'chains' - I immediately think of IYCRMM
That sort of thing... KNOWN KNOCK KNOCK everbuddy - you a.. know wadeye mean uh ?

Like 'rain' in 'Beautiful' ? Not 'Looking at the Rain' ?
'deck' in 'Circle of Steel' - not 'High and Dry' ?
'dawn' in 'Softly' ? not 'Minstrel of the Dawn' ?
'chains' in 'All the Lovely Ladies' ? not IYCRMM ?

and etcetera ..... of course we know all the above, but I just think its interesting how he has prevalent , if not 'favoured' atmospheric words in many more songs than you would expect... chains, rain, softly, I could go on and on - appear all over....I guess thats part of the 'Lightfoot' feeling ..think ? oh -and above I mean 'instead of' vs 'not' in... of course they are in the song you'f expect them in...but I imbedded another 'secret' in this list - words you'd associate with other songs than the first one you'd expect. Hope you enjoyed it.
