The only thing you need to be sorry about is misspelling "oops."

RM, I have no idea about 1.

1. The Salvation Army band played.
And the children drunk lemonade.
And the morning lasted all day, all day.
And through an open window came,
Like Sinatra in a younger day.
Pushing the town away

2. Well I was born in a ...
And I live in a ...
Prob'ly die in a ...
Oh, those small communities
All my friends are so ...
My parents live in the same ...
My job is so ...
Provides little opportunity

3. Walking down the sidewalk on a purple afternoon
I was accosted by a barker playing a simple tune
Upon his flute - toot toot toot toot
Silver rain was falling down
Upon the dirty ground of ...

Cool... try these on for size...

1. He said "Smell the rose, sweet sweet rose, catch the sun find where it grows. Smell the rose, the sweet sweet rose that grows on castle walls in heaven. In heaven yeah."

2. Billy rapped all night 'bout his suicide
How he'd kick it in the head when he was 25
Don't wanna stay alive when you're 25

3. I never seen you looking so bad my funky one
You tell me that your superfine mind has come undone

Yes, you've got the first 1.

Sweeny's theme is DUDE. And I recognize the band name for song 3, but none of those songs were familiar.

This game got too hard

Small Town by John Cougar (not sure if he carried the name Mellencamp at the time)

The theme is obviously "town."

Written by an ex-bug and what you need to fly:

3. People pass me by on my imaginary street
Ordinary people it's impossible to meet
Holding conversations that are always incomplete
Well, I don't know
Oh, where are there places to go
Someone somewhere has to know
I don't know

RM is correct when she says the theme is DUDE

Well, you're obviously talking about Wings. Admittedly, I don't know any Wings songs with "town" in them. This makes my official guess "Something Town" by Wings.

Yes!!! You got the final song of my set.

Now we need another clue for your songs.

You are correct... the theme is DUDE.

Shall I give you the band names?
Or should I just give you the answers...

Just to remind you:

1. He said "Smell the rose, sweet sweet rose, catch the sun find where it grows. Smell the rose, the sweet sweet rose that grows on castle walls in heaven. In heaven yeah."

2. Billy rapped all night 'bout his suicide
How he'd kick it in the head when he was 25

3. I never seen you looking so bad my funky one

Sweeney, can you please either give more clues or the answer? It's been a few days and nobody seems to have any idea.

Yeah, I've been really busy these last few days...

the answers are:

1: Hey Dude by Kula Shaker
2: All the young Dudes by David Bowie
3: Any major dude will tell you by Steely Dan

 

[redmarvel]

Here's the new set of songs:

1. I never dreamed I could cry so hard
That ain't like a man
I could fly like a bird some days
Had a place where I could land

2. Yeah, here I am sitting on this bar stool,
talking like a darn fool
Got the twelve o'clock news blues
And I've given up hope for the
afternoon soaps
And a bottle of cold brew
Is it any wonder I'm not crazy
Is it any wonder I'm sane at all

3. I got a little change in my pocket goin' jing-a-ling-a-ling
Wants to call you on the telephone baby, a-give you a ring
But each time we talk, I get the same old thing
Always no hugg-ee no kiss-ee until I get a weddin' ring
My honey my baby, don't put my love upon no shelf
She said don't hand me no lines and ...
