Spoiler for pure WAG

sax/sacks

I actually thought about that, but I couldn't make the last part fit. Thinking about it now, though, it really does--up to and including a play on the word "worn".

Spoiler for ?

Spoiler for Answers to the eight - still looking for the final answer?

Gives credit where credit is due you've got
So when they're in yours, take your best shot - cites/sights

One or the other, determined will tell
Clears out with a stick for this it can spell - which/witch

Afterwards ridden with an admission of me
Shines bright on its face so superficially - guilt/gilt

From the lands on high as a manner of speaking
Passing strong wind, an outburst of shrieking - gael/gale

A rock of ages you stand out in a crowd
All the more sure when you shout it out loud - boulder/bolder

Authorize to print maybe gets the point across
This passage one gains then forthwith a loss - write/rite

Push and shove, tuck and roll, a good turn bears repeating
Always obliged am I, this demand is want for completing - knead/need

Known often with the blues, one printed one dyed
An instruction of sorts, worn on the outside - gene/jean
