So guys…finals are approaching for the writers of this blog. I know I’m burnt out already. Therefore, I find it necessary to post this lyric. Good Luck with the lyric and to everyone that has to deal with this academic warfare.

"These wheels keep turning but they're running out of steam"
hint: This guy has a very exotic pet/friend in London. The song implies a cardiac storage facility.
Answer: Keep Me in Your Heart, by Warren Zevon

Lyric #22

Ok guys…this one may be more difficult than others, but I think you’ll get it. I know Matt will. But if he doesn’t, I will be immensely disappointed.

“On soft gray mornings widows cry
The wise men share a joke;
I run to grasp divining signs
To satisfy the hoax.”

hint: the album reached #3  on the British Charts, and is gold in the US.

Answer: The Court of the Crimson King, by King Crimson

“Kids flash guitars just like switchblades”

Let’s see how you guys do with this one.

“If there’s a God, he is laughing at us and our football team”

Hint: you might want to use the eff word a lot if this were true, and name your home after it
