This photo was taken in 1949. My cousins and I remember the porch after our grandfather walled it in, added a door and big screen windows.

Return of the Lyrics Game - three songs

I've been meaning to get back to this for quite a while. Recently I heard one of these on the radio, just thought of another lyric out of the blue for no apparent reason, and was reminded of another when I looked over my music list project.

Hints: three different decades, two genres (in other words, two of these songs you might hear on a classic rock station, the other you won't). And as always, it's more fun to guess if you resist the urge to "Google".

So here they are, in no particular order:

#1:
"Every day when I get home from work,
I feel so frustrated, the boss is a jerk,
And I get my sticks and go out to the shed..."

#2:
"He didn't say much, he kinda quiet and shy,
And if you spoke at all, he just said "Hi"..."

#3:
"I have never met Napoleon,
But I plan to find the time,
'Cause he looks so fine upon that hill,
They tell me he was lonely, he's lonely still,
Those days are gone forever..."

Can you guess? Let the game begin!

I meant to do this earlier. I have no idea on the songs at all. But I will say that #2 sounds familiar and I have the feeling that when you reveal it - I will know the song.

But, for now, I got nothin'.
