I think the 20 red lights are in there too, aren't they? Though I don't know how that bit works.

Well done, BreakingBlues - I was trying to work out what happened on 2nd August 1970 (which I guess was a Sunday?) after trying February 8th (because I'm in England and we do dates differently here...) and that's as far as I got.

Meanwhile, I was still waiting - for that protest on the bus. No idea about that one.

Yeah, that's an American thing, my apologies (but it's fair after Olly's Britishisms). Try googling "Rosa Parks" for a help...

And here's one more hint: I mentioned there's two critical synonyms of nouns. One of them is geographically inaccurate.

For that protest on the bus: Sitting in the front of the bus? not moving to the back of the bus?
Sitting, thinking, sinking, drinking? What's the clue again, please?

A prostitute is taking a stand on a bus on a savanna (which is named after a fragment of a Led Zeppelin album title) while attempting to perform an action in the title of a 1970s Stones song, with two identical organic products mixed with corn, resembles an anthropomorphic version of an object from a Squeeze single released between 1979 and 1983.

And remember:

1. Released b/w 1967 and 1976 1974, inclusive
2. The 70s Stones song was released in the 70s but recorded in the 60s
3. There are two critical noun synonyms, one of which is geographically inaccurate
4. And what the heck - the Squeeze song is "Tempted"
EDIT: And sssoul, you have the "sitting" nailed. smiling smiley

Good luck! drinking smiley

Thanks BreakingBlues - what is the subject of the verb "resembles" in that, please?
And are both the Stones songs involved in this Stones originals?
Meanwhile, for anyone else who had never heard of it, here are the lyrics to the Squeeze single: [www.lyricsfreak.com]
Sure are a lot of objects in it ...

You got that right, sssoul. But ironically, the one you need to find isn't even directly mentioned. And it is a material object.

Good luck again! drinking smiley

I protest - that's not fair! Come on, give us a glimmer - is there no lyric in the world this object does appear in??

As for Stones originals recorded in the 60s but released in the 70s ...
the two on Sticky Fingers don't have actions in the titles, so I suspect it's from Metamorphosis.

All right, it's got to be:

There's a tramp sitting on my doorstep trying to waste his time
With his mentholated/methylated sandwich, he's a walking clothes line


The tramp sitting, the steppe and wasting time are the bits that got me there,
so BreakingBrains needs to explain the labyrinthine workings of his/her clue in full, please and thank you

You did it, with sssoul! [throws confetti over with sssoul] Now I guess I have to explain...

There's a tramp (tramp = prostitute)
Sitting (taking a stand on a bus = Rosa Parks sitting)
on my doorstep ("In through the Out Door" + savanna = steppe = doorstep)
Trying to waste his time ( "We're wastin' time" )
with his methylated sandwich (Two identical organic products (bread) = sandwich + corn (ethanol) = methylation (sorry, that was a bit much))
he's a walking clothesline (anthropomorphic + "laundry on the hill" = clothesline (sorry about that one, I should've tried a little harder))

Congrats to with sssoul!

Now I have to work on making mine a bit easier in the future...

Many congratulations to with sssoul.

It's been a long wait for this to end.

Although I don't have much interest in this type of clue I couldn't resist looking at BreakingBlues' explanation but the "sitting" bit still baffles me. And who or what is Rosa Parks?

Re: 'Which Lyric Am I?'

Rosa Parks was a major figure in the Civil Rights movement -
she defied the segregated seating on a bus, so she took a stand by sitting where she sat.
