Contest

OK here's the contest.

I post a line from a song, and you identify the song title and original artist.

The winner is whomever I decide, and they get a free beer at the next futbol game.

First one "Here I am, the only living boy in New York"

Please, I know you can google this shit, but please don't.  

I got the artist...but I thought that was the title. Trying not to give anything away.

The only living boy in New York. Simon and Garfunkle.


Here is a harder one. 
Hint. He is dead his father killed him

Wake up.. Wake up..Wake up ..Wake up..

Here is one for the Canadians


"Through the woodland, through the valley"
Nope not going to give you the next line it would make it to easy.

Mr Lightfoot. Don Quixote.

Don't remember when I last heard that.  

OK. The first one was too easy.

How about:

Businessman picks up the news.
Headlines say young girl slain, so far no clues.
Last night he rushed on, as her screams tore the sky.
But don't get involved, It's not your fault she died.

Hint: Canadian band.

I'll do darn near anything for a free beer.... but the winner of this contest is gonna be a sneaky shit with Google by his side

This is a good game.

She was a fast machine,
She kept her motor clean,
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen
She had saintly eyes, telling me no lies
And knocking me out with those American thighs

AC-DC, You shook me all night long.

Clue: the title of the song is the next few words,

OOPS

Almost right... "Them" was the name of the group.  George Ivan Morrison was the songwriter and the lead in the band.
One of the best live R&B bands ever.  

Your request for a beer is under consideration.
There is a game on Saturday if you wish to collect. 

Another one...

Harry Truman was our president.
A coke and burger cost you thirty cents.
I was still in love with Mavis Brown.

Again, the next line is the title.
