4SwansT: Hate to archive Tangredi caches but this park has really gone downhill and the cache is missing yet again. Better to archive and find a new spot to relist this puzzle there as a new cache. Sorry, everyone!

If you solved this puzzle and never got a chance to log it as a find, please send me a message.

Geocache Description:


Due to popular request, the fifth edition in the Tangredi puzzle series has arrived. For this one, identify the 20 songs from the lyrics below divided into Side A (1-10) and Side B (11-20). Then, match them into 10 pairs (one from Side A, the other from Side B) according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself.

 

1. Those schoolgirl days of telling tales and biting nails are gone
But in my mind I know they will still live on and on
But how do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try.

 

2. Sharp like you pulled me out the pencil sharpener
Bad like that student in the principal’s office
Put rappers in coffins, they dive like dolphins
I'm the damnedest lyrical marvel you come across often!

 

3. Like a tramp in the night
I was begging for you
To treat my body
Like you wanted to.

 

4. Stylin', wilin', livin' it up in the city
Got Chucks on with Saint Laurent
Got kiss myself, I'm so pretty.

 

5. There was a time when
Broken hearts and broken dreams were over.
There was a place where
All you could do was wish on a four leaf clover.

 

6. The one I adore
Love you forever and ever more
I'm just a fool
A fool in love with you

 

7. Times was on my side when I runnin'in the street it was the
By by by.
A suitcase and an old guitar and something new to occupy my
Mind mind mind.

 

8. I found an island in your arms
Country in your eyes
Arms that chain
Eyes that lie.

 

9. Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway.

 

10. Keep off the path, beware of the gate
Watch out for signs that say "hidden driveways"
Don't let the chlorine in your eyes
Blind you to the awful surprise.

 

11. Take back that sad word good-bye
Bring back the joy to my life
Don't leave me here with these tears
Come and kiss this pain away
I can't forget the day you left
Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me.

 

12. There's a song bird on my pillow
I can see the funny weeping willow
I can see the sun
You're on your way and you'll be coming home.

 

13. I've got so much honey the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees.

 

14. Your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last.

 

15. If you gotta crush
(Don't beat about the bush)
When I gotta crush….

 

16. My beacon's been moved under moon and star.
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far?

 

17. Piano man
He makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on
She sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums.

 

18. And-a you, you are my girl
And no one can hurt you, oh no
Yes-a, I, oh I'm gonna love you, oh oh
Come on let me hold you darlin'.

 

19. I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world.

 

20. Someday, I don't know how
I hope she'll hear my plea.
Some way, I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me.

 

Once you identify the pairs, determine what they all have in common to reveal the final cache coordinates.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
