Correct!

Clue #1: Something old, something new - The song describes the conflict between people from the old world and people from the new world.

Clue #2: Something borrowed, something blue - “Something borrowed” is a reference to the lyric “He took our game for his own need”. “Something blue” is a reference to the lyric “Soldier blue in the barren wastes”.

Clue #3: The song covers a topic that the singer returned to repeatedly in his future work - Bruce sang a number of songs about cowboys and indians later on, including “Son Of A Gun”, “Fire Child”, and “Sacred Cowboys”.

Clue #4: Go to where the magic happens - Continuing from clue #3, a lyric from “Fire Child” is “the magic is still in the hills”. If you went there quickly, you would be running to the hills.

Clue #5: The lyrics reference four different colors - “White man”, “chasing the redskins”, “Soldier blue”, “taking their gold”.

Your turn!
 
Clue 1: Still Life '88.
Clue 2: In the chorus of the song there is a prominent example of a grammatical mode that is rarely used in present-day English (especially in spoken English).


Incorrect guesses: Still Life, Prowler, Black Bart Blues
