"Mister Rock of Ages" you've got time on your "hands"

but I can't think of one for "and hands"... that was the clue, no?

btw, hope yer feeling back in the high life again, boss

[jj]

ok, based on your "hammer" and "big song" clues, you may rather be seeking CRT:

"through the seaports and into their HANDS." ?

Although I have no authority to speak on behalf of the CPU (Corfid Players Union), I request that you provide the answer to :

Q146 ...and hands

no authoity here as well, but i'll add an extra clue, cause i know the song but cant think of the name!

"face and hands turned up to the sky" rings a bell somewhere

[charlene]

Q 146 - .. and hands

This one is making me crazy!! Some came to mind but weren't exactly like the clue so I had to research it! (bad moderator!)

Gord uses "HANDS" in a lot of his songs!! But none of these songs listed below are correct!

AAARRGGGHHH!!!! HELP!!!
Somebody please find the song with AND HANDS in it!
lol

THE HANDS
Black day in July:
And the soul of Motor City is bared across the land
As the book of law and order is taken in the hands
Of the sons of the fathers who were carried to this land
Black day in July

HER HAND
Rosanna
Rosanna moves across the floor
Her perfume fills the air as she walks beside my easy chair
I touch her hand once more
And I may never sleep again
I like the bag she put me in

YOUR HAND
Stone Cold Sober
I was stone cold sober, it was daylight in October
When you reached across the table, put your hand upon my shoulder

MY HAND
Steel Rail Blues
Now here I am with my hat in my hand
Standing on the broad highway will you give a ride
To a lonesome boy who missed the train last night

THE HAND
Rich Man's Spiritual
And when he takes me by the hand
I know the Lord will understand
I'm gonna get me a smiling angel to lead me home

MY HANDS
Ecstacy Made Easy
Have a little laughter if you please
I won't even mind if it takes awhile
I've got time on my hands
I feel another chapter in the breeze

SECOND HAND
Endless Wire
Down in the black of a bottomless hole
There's a few good second hand scenes
Deep in the dark of a heavenly blue
Where the sea runs green

MY HAND
Heaven Don't Deserve Me
I'm not afraid that when I'm dying
There'll be no one to hold my hand
If there's a God up there he loves me
As much as my old woman can
I don't intend to be a martyr
I don't give a damn what people say
And if I never get to heaven
Heaven don't deserve me anyway

HER HANDS
Don Quixote
Reaching for his saddlebag
He takes a battered book into his hands

SO HAND
Triangle
So hand me my grip on this old sailing ship

MY HAND
Early Morning Rain
In the early morning rain
With a dollar in my hand
With an achin' in my heart
And my pockets full of sand

MY HAND
Biscuit City:
I'd rather be in Biscuit City, with my banjo in my hand
Than take a big vacation in some foreign land

MY HAND
Salute
I held out my hand and he shook it twice
It seemed to me like I'd been here before

RIGHT HAND
Boathouse
I'd rather be in mosquito alley, out of my right hand lane
You should see my mosquito tally, all that moves is fair game

HER HAND
Sit Down Young Stranger
My mother's eyes grow misty, there's a trembling in her hand

IN GLOVE
Lesson In Love
Hang on Mr. Barnum, hang on Jenny Lind
We will meet you in streets of gold where eternity begins
We will let it all hang out, go hand in glove
Life was meant to live and learn, a lesson in love, a lesson in love

HIS HAND
Miguel
A lawman came to capture him, the gun jumped in his hand
Oh Miguel the mother cried, you must run now or you'll die

ONE HAND
Never Say Trust Me
The sky above is filled with stars
The road is long and no cars are in sight
With one hand on the wheel I've been
Driving all day, I can drive all night

TREMBLING HAND
Second Cup of Coffee
And if I don't stop this trembling hand from reaching for the phone
I'll be reaching for the bottle Lord, before this day is done

HER HAND
The Last Time I saw Her
The last time I held her hand
Her touch was autumn, spring and summer and winter too

MY HAND
A Message To The Wind
Hold my hand, so I can hold you in my heart
Hold my hand, so I can guide you through the forest of the night

and

Hold my hand, now it's time for me to go
Take my love and let it rest for we must meet again somehow

MY HAND
Forgive Me Lord
Take my hand and lead me as you choose
It seems we ain't got much to lose

HER HAND
Go Go Round
Alone upon the sidewalks of despair
'Twas there she wandered
With her suitcase in her hand, her fate she pondered

YOUR HAND
Approaching Lavendar
If you'd like to try your hand at understanding Lavender
Then you must be very sure that life is not a game

COLD HAND
Cold Hands from New York
It was too unreal for me
I found no one who trusted me
There was no man could offer me
A cold hand from New York

and

COLD HANDS
Cold hands from New York
A voice within you cries won't someone please help me
I'll do the same for you one day
If you should ever pass my way and need me

A HAND
On Yonge Street
Everywhere you go in a city by a lake
Back there in the flow you might give a hand a shake

A HAND and YOUR HANDS
Boss Man
Boss Man Boss Man what do you say
If you can't lend a hand then get outta my way
It'll be murder in the first degree
If you ever lay your hands on me

THE HAND
Rainbow Trout
So I took her by the hand, she took me by the will
She was all dolled up like a blue eyed pup
Looking for something to spill

[jj]

char,
I'm standing right now and giving you a hand for your efforts!

[Oh, Linda]

Char, that's amazing! I've really been digging for this one...even posted a reply earlier this evening and realized I'd gotten so lost from the original clue I had to go back and delete it! I think there may be a typo in the clue?

[jj]

char, did you purposefully omit my responses from your exhaustive list?

Linda, i think you're right about the typo...i presume steve is just nervous about confessing this as he knows collectively we corfiddlers have lost 100+ hours of sleep...plus it's all i've been thinking about during rush hour commute this past week, lol

[charlene]

I hated to 'cheat' but lordy I was going nuts. I tried to keep the ones I found separate from the others that had been mentioned.. it's quite astounding how many times Gord uses HANDS in his lyrics..

now if Steve will let us know what song the AND HANDS is in I can get some bloody rest..

[jj]

REPORT :

geo steve has been sighted in the test forum. He's definitely on the lam.

I'd be willing to offer amnesty if he would just put to rest Q146......and hands

[charlene]

I thought it might be CRT but the clue given didn't fit.. the subsequent teaser clues took me to CRT but 'their hands' wasn't the clue we started with so off I went to suss it out.... and figured it was possibly a typo anyway..(regardless of any medical issues)

I found it an interesting bit of trivia to note how often Lightfoot uses HANDS in his songs..I enjoyed the break from the work I'm doing here at home.

I'd say James is DA WINNER!!

[geodeticman.5]

Note: I deleted my semi-duplicate thread of this one above, this one has all the first did plus the new set of 6 ! And some basic typos corrected, and some muddy thinking this ealry am corrected. A re-read might be to your advantage. Thanks guys - and Oh! BTW - I hereby dub this thread the "Sundown Saloon".

Light-Heads and all welcome. Fights are only intterupted if my stuff is getting broken... so sit down, or pull-up a bar-stool, hook a heel on the brass rail, do any Western Cliche you want -and relax to the mellow sounds..played exclusively in here, of Gordon Lightfoot.

Have a drink, a smoke, cigars allowed, talk to "Shut-up-and deal-Im Loosin" over in the corner about house rules on gamblin.... and our mascot, for now, is a lightbulb on a 70's post-kitsch lamp with no shade, but a green, Gord-style Hawaiin Shirt, and the Lightbulb poppin-out of the shirt of course, THE ORIGINAL LIGHTHEAD. acoutrements open to discussion. The "Parrot" mascot down at the other end, though we may repect it and like it here and there..we actually use for target practice for fun when the boys would otherwise be tree'in the town ....- they shoot the parrot..this ain't no Margarita bar, this is...a DIVE...! And Proud of it !

back to thread as it was, with a few corrections, and dupe of it from above deleted, nothing is missing, its all here.

Hi guys. Old friends. Compadres ...lol..

I am so sorry for both the delay, and all your hard work in earnest belief that i would not make more than 2 mistakes in 150 questions. I have scrutinized things all night long, had a few incidents that will be illustrative in a sec., and
decided what to do, largely upon the total weight of your collective input. This still is a democracy.

I've been having very , very long 7 - 9 hour seizures, and as many 3 -6 hour ones. I have not been functional in here for you during that time. Again I'm sorry. I have made it, without seizure, long enough to the astute eye not only "spotted" in other threads, but in this one, almost very day, for between 30 and 60 minutes, trying to figure out where Q146 went wrong. I did. I typo'd as you guys thought, and it crashed my program , too...aaaaghhh ! lol


I certainly havn't been too embarrassed to poke my head in my own thread, to be embarrassed over a third error in 150 clues would be a bit'o hubris eh?

Naw, I've poked around wherever about 15 - 20 minuts perusal would take me, and then back to our lyrics thread as long as I could stay conscious. I'm better today.. The thread: Its ours, you guys have worked so hard in here and been patient with me, hats off to ya & because it is so much fun to watch you guys amazingly think though 1 -2 word clues...and get 'em !. Thats hard. Writing them is hard, but in a different way.

Char your exhaustive effort was noble if not deflating to you, seing you bust yourself up trying to work from what I figured out tonight was an invalid clue. I'm so sorry - I check myself so carefully for that...I triple check these new set of forthcoming later this thread clue's after I hear them in my head, as we do in this game. When I enterd Q146 before, the typo'd clue that previously I enterd right and CRT came out, , well, go figure, when I re-enterd my clue as typo'd, while investigating, Entered it and the song into the database program. Then it crashed. But I extracted the song - CRT - confirming that, which led me succinctly to what the clue should have been. ....hands would have been correct for that, too. Sure sorry. But you set a tone for, among other things....perseverance. Thank you.

jj - and others who lost sleep, and were distracted while driving , stummped on this one, please forgive me.

I respect very much you guys honouring me as "boss" the way you do, but its no trip for me....remember its a democracy, I am just the the traffic director, and of course only I know the answer pair, as I came up with them.
But we can rotate that, if you'd like, too !

Would you guys like to come up with a rotating deal of who is "the dealer", the 'boss" for a set of 6 or 12 ? In any event, lets go to 6 songs this time to go to an even 160, then maybe, what/ 10 - 18 songs each time, give more up time while I process answers or whomever ? Would you like me to continue 'dealing" the Q's, or pass the deal routinely to you all. It is more work than you think, I GUARANTEE IT. But I don't get nervous.....just frustrated over extremely painful seizures and subsequent neck deterioration. Its actually very good for me. I do enjoy it. I've no qualms with keepin on keepin on, but would be immediately open to passin the deal on a regular basis..

I really am thank ful for your guys turn-out this time, and you remaining productivvvvvvvvvvveD/an (its starting right now I bwtter post a new list of 6)

Unless you would like to discuss my error when I am back in tell you right now that jj takes the most obvious cake, upon imperfect premise, but as the error was mine, he should not be penalized. He read intuitively into my extra clues on this one to lead him correctly to CRT. Congrats, jj.

The error to be found was in fact that while indeed I had selected CRT for the song, the clue, as a few of you estimated, might have been typo'd, in either the original ....and hands, and the apparently mistaken .....hands. The original was a typo of what should have read
Q146 Clue: ....their hands. And then most of you would have got it. My apologies. If anyone has amore equitable view of the way to declare relative winner of this one; I'm listening. One good take is its a 13th floor option, was, as several of you said. Personally, I admire the intuition jj showed by knowing what song I was thinkng by virtue of my clues.

OK its gettin worse so I'm postong the next 6 right now..talk to u all later ! And jj definately winds the cake, now especially that I hear concurrence from Char - my error should not penalize your oppurtunities.
CONGRATULATIONS ! jj

imo, 3 out of 150 is acceptable ...that's the same as my good shot to total shot ratio in a typical golf round (which, in anyone's opinion, is unacceptable, lol)

hey, hope things turn around for the better on the health front

these are tough...i think i know the #151 song title but can't come up with the lyric phrase much more than what was provided in the clue so i will let it be til the brain uncramps

#156 could be a trick, you actually looking for 'AND the river', no?
if so it could be the Pony Man...'and the river tells a story by the window of my bed'...or something along those lines

but it violates the dot dot rule, doesn't it...so it's a goose egg for jj
