Can't Be The Answer

Much better showing this week by you regular participants. My faith in rock and roll is somewhat restored. As you guessed, the theme was- no, no I can't reveal it! I just can't!

Umm... never mind. Here are the answers (I can reveal those, apparently).

1. Do you remember anyone here? No, you don't remember anything at all. Memories Can't Wait; Talking Heads

2. You've been told, so maybe it's time that you learned. You've been sold, maybe it's time that you earned. I Can't Stand It; Eric Clapton

3. The way things go you get so low, struggle to find your skin. Can't Stand It; Wilco

4. It's hard bein' a man, livin' in a garbage pail. My landlady called me up, she tried to hit me with a mop. I Can't Stand It; Velvet Underground

5. Come down off your throne and leave your body alone; somebody must change. Can't Find My Way Home; Blind Faith

6. I can turn the grayest sky blue; I can make it rain, whenever I want it to. Can't Get Next To You; Temptations (also very ably covered by Al Green and a few others, including the *ahem* Rolling Stones)

7. Yeah, you got satin shoes, yeah, you got plastic boots, y'all got cocaine eyes, yeah, you got speed-freak jive. Can't You Hear Me Knockin'; Rolling Stones (who?)

8. Gonna take a freight train down at the station, lord, I don' t care where it goes. Can't You See; Marshall Tucker Band (a very good song in its own right, though I prefer the version by the late, great Waylon Jennings)

9. I've called you so many times today and I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say. Can't Stand Losing You; The Police

10. Give me a story and give me a bed, give me possessions, oh, love, luck and money they go to my head like wildfire... Can't Be Sure; The Sundays

**Bonus** Well, I don't mind workin', 'cause I used to be jerkin' off most of my time in the bars. I Can't Wait To Get Off Work; Tom Waits

Another attempt to stump you smart fellers will show up in this space Tuesday, as dog is my witness.
