Rock 'n' Roll Trivia (Tapestry edition)

Thought I would put this up earlier than usual. I started composing questions last week while on the bike ride, so I'm a week ahead of the game!

I was thinking of doing a Carole King edition but, given what a fine album this is, I decided to focus on it exclusively. It's really a great album. Also, it's the only one I have on CD and it's a lot easier to listen to CDs on a bike than listen to LPs on a bike.

That's it, no more yapping. I want to get these questions up early so here is the Lovely and Sainted Carole King:

1) I can't stand it when you look at me that way. What do I feel? [Laura: I fell the earth move under my feet]

2) It's one more song about moving along the highway, because I can't do what? [Mr. Bingley: Can't say much of anything that's new]

3) Something inside has died. Why? [Lisa: Because it's too late]

4) Snow and rain chill my soul to the marrow. When will I be happy? [Julie: I won't be happy til I see you alone again, 'til I'm home again and feelin' right]

5) If you get up every morning with a smile on your face, what will you find? [Julie: That you're beautiful as you feel]

6) There's a place I know where I can find shelter from hunger and cold. Where am I bound? [Julie: Way over yonder, that's where I'm bound]

7) Close your eyes and think of me. What will happen? [Lisa: Soon I will be there to brighten up even your darkest night]

8) I would go to the ends of the earth. Why? [Julie: Because to me that's what you're worth]

9) Tonight, the light of love is in you eyes. But what is my question? [Lisa: Will you still love me tomorrow?]

10) He let it all hang loose because he couldn't take no more abuse. So what did he do? [Julie: He bought a shotgun and shot down the congregation]

11) Amidst the soft, silver sadness in the sky, who came and what did he wear? [Julie: There came a man of fortune, a drifter passing by; he wore a torn and tattered cloth and a coat of many colors]

12) Your love was the key to my piece of mind. Why? [Maggie May: Because you make me feel like a natural woman]

Too late to participate, but I'm glad that you finally posted a trivia on one of my favorite albums of all time. I own it on both vinyl and CD.
