Name the song and artist

[Runwildboys]

Saw a city in the fog and an old church town where the seagulls play.
Saw the sad shire horses walking home in the sodium light,
Two priests on the ferry.…

No clue.

 

[Runwildboys]

Is it you again outside,
Just banging on the front door?
You say you had enough,
Now you're coming' back for more,

ZZ Top - Fool for Your Stockings

 

[Runwildboys]

We came in spastic
Like tameless horses
We left in plastic
As numbered corpses
And we learned fast
To travel light
Our arms were tired
But our bellies were tight

 

[RodeoJake]

Well if you've been a married woman
And things didn't seem to work out
Divorce is the key to bein' loose and free
So you're gonna be talked about

Y'all need a hint?

 

[Runwildboys]

Y'all need a hint?

I didn't even see this one.....but now that I have, it doesn't help much. Lol

Sounds like a Reba song though...or Dolly.

 

[OmerV]

We came in spastic
Like tameless horses
We left in plastic
As numbered corpses
And we learned fast
To travel light
Our arms were tired
But our bellies were tight

Goodnight Saigon, Billy Joel

Did anyone answer these?

The first and last are very easy for anyone of a certain age ( American Pie and Gilligan's Island) - not that I'm that old....

I don't have an answer on the middle one though.

That middle one was a MARTY ROBBINS /BASS .44

Right gender and genre, but think older. She's a legend.

Oh man, the name of the song is in the lyrics, isn't it? I can't remember who it was though, not Loretta Lynn, was it?

 

[RodeoJake]

Loretta Lynn is right. One of her more controversial songs.

Another piece to the puzzle:

And when your best friend's husband says to you
You've sure started lookin' good
You should've known he would
And he would if he could and he will if you're...

 

[Melonfeud]

Duh! It's titled

" MR.Shorty",,,Ive always kinda labeled songs what I thought they should be called,,, character defect I guess

Answer to my last one: Rated X

Here's an easier one. It's been covered many times over the years.

Ten years ago, on a cold, dark night
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me

 

[LocimusPrime]

No clue.

All this time - Sting

 

[Runwildboys]

All this time - Sting

That explains why I had no idea. Lol

 

[Runwildboys]

Said goodbye to their families
Said goodbye to their friends
With pipe dreams in their heads
And very little money in their hands
