On That Note: Sew it Goes

[cyclones500]

Welcome back!

This week, we feature a sort of textile-arts theme.

Looking for songs with title or lyrics containing forms of the words sew, weave, stitch, yarn, thread, needle (the sewing kind, preferably NOT the vinyl-record or syringe versions) and any other related terms. A bit of homonym-extension, we’ll accept “sow” (but not “so.”).

NOT ACCEPTED: articles of clothing (unless one of the keywords is interwoven)

“On That Note” is presented weekly by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

• Last week’s OTN: One Bad Apple

I'll enter the fray with a follow-up post.

“Hold this thread as I walk away.”

 

[MeanDean]

I got a freaky ol' lady name a cocaine Katy who embroideries on my jeans

 

[MeanDean]

You've got to pick up every stitch.

 

[cyclones500]

In addition to song title, opens with the lyric “Thread the needle, with one eye closed.” I love the wordplay in that.

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans

Gary Wright, Dream Weaver

Dolly Parton, Coat of Many Colors

Momma sewed the rags together
Sewin' every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of

 

[pourcyne]

Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
There moves a thread that has no end [...]

Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time

 

[MeanDean]

Classic Motown

Paquet d'épingles = packet of pins

If you'd like to marry me, I would give you a packet of pins

 

[pourcyne]

Just a little pin prick

 

[pourcyne]

I hear you callin' and it's needles and pins (needles and pins)

 

[Cupped]

Aerosmith, Walkin' the Dog

Baby back, dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
High hose, tipsy toes
She broke the needle and she can sew
Walking the dog

 

[pourcyne]

Without no seams or needle work

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

a time of sow

 

[pourcyne]

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

 

[pourcyne]

Hey, they say a stitch in time saves nine
