I’ve been thinking about bringing it back for ages.
Started a couple, didn’t finish them.
You need a theme, I reckon (as this one certainly has…I think mostly?).

Just a bit of a bump for the remaining songs

Clue 1. He was the wizard of a thousand kings / And I chanced to meet him one night wandering /He told me tales, and he drank my wine /Me and my magic man kinda feelin’ fine

Clue 7. My girl Friday, she no square / She like lotus blossom in her hair / Be-bop records and something new / Sometimes borrowed, but she’s never blue

Clue 10. can i touch you are you out of touch / i guess i never noticed that much / geranium lover i’m live on your wire / come and take me who ever you are

Clue 11. Well, he sits up there on his leatherette / Looks through pictures of the ones that he hasn’t had yet / When he thinks he wants a closer look / he gets out his little black telephone book

Clue 12. was talking with a friend of mine / said a woman had hurt his pride / Told him that she loved him so / and turned around and let him go

Clue 14. And so she woke up / Woke up from where she was / Lying still / Said I gotta do something / About where we’re going

Clue 18. Mindless drifter on the road / (why do I) / Carry such an easy load / (why do i)
