  Name these songs

This has been done before, and I thought it might be fun to do it again.

Name the Daniel Amos songs that the lines below are in. (For example: "Now if I said it real pretty in a pretty rhyme" is from I Love You #19).

1 "While you deny the fact you are steadily loosing your hair"


2 "dirty grey ghosts wearing fitted soiled sheets on a wet mirage street"


3 "Can I show you a laughing statue and a magic mirror?"


4 "Down at the stadium they're waiting for the end of the age"


5 "I'm longing for a land not assigned to me by birth"


6 "So put your head on my shoulder and I'll dry your tears"


7 "Don't leave me standing in the shadows"


8 "The last word on the very last page"


9 "And mix my blood into our chemistry"


10 "Mock aliens breed silent blond zeros of fresh young flesh"


If you got all 10: You are Terry Taylor. We now know what user ID you use when you want to spy on us.
If you got 9: You are the greatest DA fan ever! You know which one's Daniel and which one's Amos.
If you got 8: You own all of DA's records, and even watch Catscratch just to support Terry.
If you got 6 or 7: You're an average fan. You wouldn't know a three-legged dog if it bit you in the butt.
If you got 5 or less: You're ignoramous. You think Husker Du is the most influential rock n’ roll group.


Good Luck!

husker who?
you mean my cousin's band in Nebraska?

with outcomes like those i'm afraid to even try to guess, last time an unrecognized three log dog bit me in the butt it hurt!
they're so sneaky, see you can tell if a four legged dog is sneaking up on you but not a three legged dog, they sound different, very tricky...

I thought Pere Ubu was the most influential band.

DA is the most criminally overlooked.

Nobody wants to take a shot?

I promise the three legged dog won't bite...but his breath is kinda stale when he gives you a lick.

as it stands-with reading ONLY your post and responding..
(I mean- anyone could research this)

I knew one for certain

9 Chemistry-

and without looking anywhere - I believe the song is pretty little lies. MBD

others rang a bell-but a dim one.
I am like a pc thats been running since the 50s.
what do you expect.?

a few more stabs say:
No 3 is from SOTH? - song title I dont know- but the song about the curio shop?
No 4 - from Banquet at the Worlds end?-MOTORCYCLE
NO 7 - Out in the Cold? from Bibleland?

least I played - and showed that with all my intense study in Scientology I still have not reached the level of TOTAL RECALL!!!!!

ok - even if I did real good- I still have to change my favorite band from DA to HD?

how bout if I jump on the Livgren wagon?

then its only a switch from DA to AD.....
