Friday 10: Everything is Temporary, Anyway
When the streets are wet. the colors slip into the sky.
Welcome! Last week five people guessed eight lyrics, which is pretty good! One of the two that escaped was "P's and Q's" by English grime artist Kano. He's not obscure by any means, but perhaps he is for this audience. You never can tell, though!
The second was "Tulsa Time," country artist Don Williams's eighth number one hit (out of seventeen), and very different from Kano's both musically and thematically.
If you're returning here, you'll notice that things have changed quite a bit, and I explained why earlier this week. The biggest change from your end is that comments currently require registration, which is a bit of a bummer. If I can find a way to turn on commenting without an account signup I will, but so far all the options I have found are third-parties I trust far less than I trust Ghost.
On the other hand, the commenting system is far more robust and I can send out update notices to returning players instead of spamming social media.
Enough talk! Rules recap:
- No searchin'
- Answer with both the title and artist
- I'll accept answers that are covers of the original, assuming I can find them.
Me, I think it all depends on you:
- By day I make the cars, by night I make the bars
- He's not vicious our malicious, just de-lovely and delicious

- The sun's coming up, riding with Lady Luck
- Hey boy, you better bring the chick around to the sad, sad truth
- But there's no love, man, there's no love when the kids are uptight
- Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box, religion is the smile on a dog
What I Am, Edie Brickell & New Bohemians (Guessed by Lazlo Hollyfeld) - Now there is no sound, 'cause we all live underground
- Never mind me 'cause I've been dead, out of my body, been out of my head
