The Song Lyric Quiz

I've rehashed this game because chris showed some interest... you better guess it chris 

What song is this lyric from?

"The one that taught coolness in every school system"

Hint: it's by an Australian group featuring another Australian group.

i have no idea on that one what so ever. i've gone over it over and over, but i cannot think of what it could be from..

maybe ask another. i really like the idea of this thread, and don't want it to die....

yeah fuck knows!!!

you heard the girl. c'mon mazey!

I'm gonna guess John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes. Not sure what song though.

 

It was Knock Knock by 1200 Techniques featuring Koolism 


ok something a little more common for the peasants....

"Now everytime I ask you for a little cash, you say no and turn right around and ask me for some ass"

Erykah Badu - Call Tyrone

I believe the official title is just Tyrone, but I'll let you have it 

 

Don't be so quick to walk away
Dance with me
I wanna rock your body

 :roll:

Justin Timberlake.

No idea of the title though.

Is it Rock Your Body?

Yup!

I believe the official title is just Tyrone, but I'll let you have it  :nahnah:

Edit: I'll do the whole verse

Sometimes you have to try to get along girl
I know the truth and I know what you're thinking
Down down down down da down down down

 :lol:

Don't be so quick to walk away
Dance with me
I wanna rock your body

haha. the stone roses - fools gold.

just about the only stone roses song i know reasonably well thanks to gta!

yup.

Thought I'd keep it simple to begin with...

the lift is always full of piss
the fifth floor landing smells of fish (not just on friday, / every single other day.)
below the kids come out tonight
they kick a ball and have a fight
and maybe shoot somebody if they lose at pool.

Primal Scream - Movin' on Up

You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Savin’ all your food stamps and burnin’ down the trailer park

It's pretty easy...

No it's not.... they were good at the time but now no one remembers any of their songs 

No it's not.... they were good at the time but now no one remembers any of their songs

By Request by some band who was good at the time?

The band was Pop Will Eat Itself and the song was England's Finest.

This one is an older song by a very well known band...

If you _____ __ __
Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got, you got
I can't compete with the riders in the other heats
If you rough it up
If you like it you can slide it up, slide it up

Don't make a grown man cry
My eyes dilate, my lips go green
My hands are greasy
She's a mean, mean machine
_____ __ __

rolling stones - start me up!

*rocks out*

go Chris!

in the beginning, back in 1955
man didn't know about the rock and roll show, and all that jive.
the white man had the smoltz
the black man had the blues
no one knew what they was gonna do
but tchaikovsky had the news

Roll Over Beethoven by Chuck Berry?

nope.

Let There Be Rock by AC {lightning bolt} DC

Nice one Chris (again )

Woke up, got out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up i noticed i was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
Somebody spoke and i went into a dream

Is it Penny Lane?

Right band, wrong song DM - it's "A Day in the Life" by the Beatles.

I'm so sure of that I'm just going to go right ahead

Should of been, could of been
Would of been dead
If I didnt get the message
Goin to my head
I am what I am
Most motherfuckers
Dont give a damn
Aw baby think you can
Be my girl, Ill be your man

Yeah I knew it wasn't penny lane but couldn't remember the right name 

yep. well done julian.

It's spiderbait but not sure which song again... Outta My Head?

edit - not that one, it's one Kram sings!

Way off!

edit: unless they do a cover of this song... which I don't think they do...

suck my kiss - RHCP

I'm an idiot


Well Kram would sound good singing it anyway 

 

well i'm right, i know i am, so here goes:

If you want to you get your soul to heaven,
Trust in me now don't you judge or question,
You are broken now but faith can heal you,
Just do everything I tell you to do.

yup, you were right sez

   come on guys, i know there's fans of this band on here!

That has to be Opiate right.....I havent listened to that album in too fucking long but i swear that is one of the versus.....im officially walking myself out of the Tool fanclub if I'm wrong

ding ding ding!!

high five!!!

My position is safe in the club for one more day


"Cause down below the truth is lying

Beneath the riverbed

So quench yourself and drink the water

That flows below her head"

Sounded *so* familiar, but couldn't think what it was... then I Googled.

that sounds like chris cornel i'll say soundgarden but i can't remember which track

You're half way there Dave

i reckon it's down on the uspide

I thought Tony or someone like that might snap this one up pretty quickly

no one?

burden in my hand?

Come ride with me through the veils of history,
I'll show you a God falls asleep on the job,
How can we win when fools can be kings?
Don't waste your time or time will waste you

for some reason i am thinkin johnny cash...

 

waaaaay off!

no doubt.

i did say "for some reason..."

And yet you still haven't given one...

  or I'm guessing...

i keep forgetting about this quiz. probably because it isn't answered as often as the others.


it's muse - knights of cydonia

BINGO!!

GAH! I knew I heard these lyrics recently!

This song is on Guitar Hero 3

how did i not get that...i love muse......i knew id kick myself when i found out

aii, an easy one.


When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
 

you're just trying to make me feel better...tis of course comfortably numb by pink floyd...but someone else ask cos i have to run and i cant be bothered thinking of a song

wanna tell you a story
about a woman i know
when it comes to lovin
oh she steals the show
she aint exactly pretty
she aint exactly small
forty two, thirty nine, fifty six
you could say she's got it all.

Is that ACDC ?

i don't know. is it kirsty?

I'm not Kirsty but it is AC/DC I'm just not sure what the title is...

I heard it on the radio last night too

you're freaking kidding me aren't you julian?

thought of all people you'd be all over this.

Is it "Whole Lotta Rosie"?

is certainly is.

well done!

ok im throwing my hat in the ring....

From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, it's nothing but flowers

I had a senior moment


Walk the Dinosaur by Was Not Was?

Nope sorry try again

Anyone?

Nope... I googled, wouldn't have guessed it... I say give us another one 

I googled too.

i googled

And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking alone


easy yes.

Piano Man?

aiii, lets keep this moving shall we.

i know the song name. no idea who it's by though.

will leave it in case someone else does.

i mean because i don't know the whole answer. i can only give half. 

Stutter Rap by, um, some brits pretending to be the Beastie Boys?

that's as far as i got too.

They were a very minor act with a car in their name 

But I'm not sure we even need the artist name, I think the song name should be good enough!

go then julian!

You're very impatient today chris 

It was by Morris Minor and the Majors.... and the full title is Stutter Rap (No Sleep til Bedtime)!

You may proceed dear julian 

got to get him now otherwise he'll disappear for a few hours. 

Sorry guys i was away from AM for a week.
The tune is Nothin But by The Talking Heads. Its the opening tune on Clerks 2

But by crikey it should be

That would have been 1992... I have the album on cassette 

Fat and docile, big and dumb
They look so stupid, they aren't much fun
Cows aren't fun


They eat to grow, grow to die
Die to be et at the hamburger fry
Cows well done

Nobody thunk it, nobody knew
No one imagined the great cow guru
Cows are one

He hid in the forest, read books with great zeal
He loved Che Guevera, a revolutionary veal
Cow Tse Tongue

He spoke about justice, but nobody stirred
He felt like an outcast, alone in the herd
Cow doldrums

He mooed we must fight, escape or we'll die
Cows gathered around, cause the steaks were so high
Bad cow pun

Cows with Guns! Another great song 

you are up


i thought it might be a quick one, but i remembered the song out of nowhere and had to relive it

Madness - Baggy Trousers!

push the litle daisies is a awesome song!! BAN mutha fucker!!

i got in trouble in year five for singing the song in music class because it has the lyric "well you suck"

Of course it is

Well I used to know a girl and I could have sworn
that her name was ____________

VERONICA!

I loved that one too 


Elvis Costello is great 

You're up DM!

Im just trying to tell you what youll come up against
If you venture from my side, if you think youre so mature
You will end up in a field, you will be someones manure
Mushrooms growing from your back
Feeding some damn carrion bird
Do you want to contribute
To the corruption of the world?

I don't know any of these songs! 

the human league - Crow And A Baby

We’re there to slander
Truth to candour and it’s good for the goose as it is for the gander
Every gamut of the planet reaps what I sow
So forget about your hair and forget about your clothes
Same goes for your woes for the moment is priceless
Puberty blues becomes midlife crisis SURPRISE!
You get wiser, older, fatter
Lose your mind and control of your bladder
Mad as a hatter, pissin’ in your pants
But everybody’s ugly if you give them a chance

Have you seen any of the mughty boosh? Its funny they rip on electro and the human league quite a bit

No I haven't... thanks for the hot tip 

mighty boosh is possibly the funniest show around....noel fielding really does love electro though...and julian barrat really is a jazz fusion nut

Never shock a man out of a jazz trance

Massive Mighty Boosh fan here.

Can't get enough of the moon to be honest.

Science teachers and the mentally ill, thats all Jazz is for

The Moon is possibly the weirdest character in the history of tv, absolute classic though, especially in Old Gregg

new season starts soon

So, you must be a big fan of jazz then

wanna get your picture on the wall howard moon? I been inside all the greats. Gonna get inside you boy, gonna wear ya like a glove!

i am quite a big fan of jazz actually...but you know this

1st episode of season 3 is not one of the best but has some great bits...bits of the second episode i have seen look fantastic though

start a mighty boosh thread!

ummmm yeah duly noted. Any guesses on the lyrics i posted?

im pretty sure its a butterfingers song...but i dont own any of their albums and have no idea what the song is called

lyrics?

Partial Credit

is it get up off the dirt or something?

i know the chorus, but tend mumble my way through it.

Yep, get up outta the dirt

cool then. seeing as tobi isn't here....


No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin comes

guess away.

Easy one.
Paint It Black - Rolling Stones

sure was. you're up.

jeez. you get on here straight away and answer the question, then fuck off for a day or so to ask another.

Insidious killed this thread 

ah well, fuck him.

my turn!

We sat around the pile.
We sat and laughed.
We sat and laughed and
Waved it into the air!
And we did it just like that.
When we want something,
We don't want to pay for it.

Is it Janes Addiction - Been Caught Stealing ?

yeah, go j!!

Cause Calvin Klein's no friend of mine
Don't want nobody's name on my behind
Lee on my legs, sneakers on my feet
D by my side and Jay with the beat

oh that's familiar... D and Jay means it must be by Run DMC 

Yeah, I reckon you're gonna have to get the song title to win this one though

 

I have no idea 

Ok a week has passed, let's forget funkyj ever posted that questions! I've got a better one one:

Tooth to picks
Sides to kicks
Chops to sticks
Seas to sicks
Hard Mr. Bricks
Chest to Vicks
Corruption to politics
Sticks to stones
Stones to sticks
Not opposites flips
Cheese to cakes
Beefs to steaks
Bones to breaks
Decks to tapes
Good food to plates
Movies to dates
Cities to states
Odes to papes

Inxs - Mediate?

No 

Well this is lame.... I love this track and I thought you would have got it funkyj.... here are some more lines:

Brothers are getting busy grabbing Teks while I apex
Verbal backshots coming without the latex
Watch the caption spin as the wax begin
How I'm rapping in to hit the backspin
Now end first verse in the blend
Herbalise to Resource done done it again

Herbaliser - The Blend

Well duh

Music knows it is and always will
Be one of the things that life just won't quit
But here are some of music's pioneers
That time will not allow us to forget

that's stevie wonder i'm sure. no idea on what the song is called though.

sorry j.

HINT: It's named after a very famous jazz musician with a regal sounding name...

Sir Duke 

You're up!

I had this stuck in my head the other day:

Rollin' in my 5.0
With my rag-top down so my hair can blow
The girlies on standby waving just to say hi
Did you stop no I just drove by
Kept on pursuing to the next stop
I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block
The block was dead
Yo so I continued to A1A Beachfront Avenue

ice ice baby.

yes. 

nice.


She said 'I'll throw myself away,
They're just photos after all'
I can't make you hang around.
I can't wash you off my skin.

no one?

interesting. i would have thought that was a pretty memorable verse. was after 2000 this was released too, so it's not old at all.

its QOTSA yeah?...cant remember the name of the song, though...fuck

thankyou tobi. now just for the rest of it.

You are purposefully not capitalising now aren't you? Noddy has made sure it annoys me now as well, the cunt.

Thankyou for making me realise I don't listen to QOTSA anywhere near enough by the way.

i never used capitals before mate. no worries either, they are easily one of the best bands going around i believe. 

you got it yet though. pretty easy.

Go With The Flow? (Capitals allowed as it is a song title!)

nice work mate.

I had a little bit of a QOTSA listening festival last night.


There will be a brief intermission now as I think of a song.

Band name not essential as I don't expect anyone to know them, but this song was played often by Triple J some years ago, even though it was originally released in 1980.

"They can't play baseball
They don't wear sweaters
They're not good dancers
They don't play drums."

Fish heads fish heads
Roly poly fish heads

So... in conclusion, Fish heads.

Fine work. Homer was singing it when I was watching TV before, and it reminded me that I have been missing out on this tune for ages.

Band name is Barnes & Barnes by the way and one of the members played Will Robinson in the original Lost in Space.

NATALIE! SEZZY!

You guys should know this one easy 

This was annoying the shit out of me, until you posted in the 'What Are You Listening To?' thread. Stone Temple Pilots - Plush

You got it, mister!

damn, only just saw it!  too fucking slow ser!!!

*jigs*

Ohh, can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say

How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong

PORTISHEAD

ROADS

Yes indeed. One of my favourite songs.

One of mine too!!!

Im riding on a camel that has big eyes
The buildings are changing into coconut trees
Little by little
When a black cat crosses my path

A woman in the moon is singing to the earth
A woman in the moon is singing to the earth

anyone?

I will give you a big fat hint.

The name of the song is Sugar Water.

Guess the artist. Now plz.

Mrs Sweet Tooth and the Tooth Fairies?

 

NO.

Cibo Matto?

It's been about two years since I heard that song, so I'm not sure. But the lyrics are suitably odd for a Cibo Matto song.

YES!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!

I love Cibo Matto.

let's go tobi!

I'm tired and grumpy, you can go Chris.

sweet. i'll ask an easy one.


Caged
You hold so tight until your knuckles show
Escape
As far away as you could ever know
You sink them all down
And watch them float up
Until the wheel has spun around
You will be bound by what you are

Hmm. I'm out.

Haha, Powderfinger - Passenger.

you should have just asked one in the first place tobi.

made it easy so it could keep on moving.

He said a few weeks ago that the last one he got he would give it to me 

hmm maybe that was the other quiz where I got confused

The second I checked the thread I regretted it. I can't help but answer things if I know the answer; It's sad really.

"If only tonight we could slide
Into deep black water
And breathe
And breathe...

Then an angel would come
With burning eyes like stars
And bury us deep
In his velvet arms"

is that the cure?

no idea on a name though.

out on the weekend - neil young

Think I'll pack it in
and buy a pick-up
Take it down to L.A.
Find a place to call my own
and try to fix up.
Start a brand new day.

The woman I'm thinking of,
she loved me all up
But I'm so down today
She's so fine, she's in my mind.
I hear her callin'.

See the lonely boy,
out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay.
Can't relate to joy,
he tries to speak and
Can't begin to say.

She got pictures on the wall,
they make me look up
From her big brass bed.
Now I'm running down the road
trying to stay up
Somewhere in her head.

The woman I'm thinking of,
she loved me all up
But I'm so down today
She's so fine she's in my mind.
I hear her callin'.

See the lonely boy,
out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay.
Can't relate to joy,
he tries to speak and
Can't begin to say.

Wrong thread snappytom 

 

Nice interlude though   

 

although its a sad song, its upbeat and jumps into my head (which is not operational atm) whenever im feelin free and spirited.

one of these days i will get me a pick up and go!

It is indeed The Cure

Well since this thread is up da bum and taking to long I will ask a question

Where is this from:

"Fuck you, I wont do what you tell me!
Fuck you, I wont do what you tell me!"


 

ill take this one...

killing in the name of - rage against the machine

ok, here is mine...

Get your nose blowned off by the fifth, uh
You wanna be there, layin' all stiff, uh
Everytime you go uptown, you get jipped, uh
That's karma, boy, running your lip, uh
You be fronting like you got a bunch of chicks, uh
You be at home, nigga, beating your dick, uh
I'm in the club with the chipped up wrist, uh
You at the bar, whoadie, drinkin' my piss, uh
The yellow shit, and the bottle ain't Crys', son
You turned your muthafuckin' head, nigga, we switched 'em
You just mad cause I'm hittin' your sister
You in the other room, huh, you couldn't sleep, uh
Pop a lotta shit without that liquor, yup
We mind seat up, so take our picture
I'm like the boogeyman, nigga, I'll get ya
Whether now or later, afterlife, or switcher

anyone?

i haven't got a clue.

here is a hint.

it should be easy

i cannot make it any simpler than that

it was 'be easy' by ghostface killah

ok,how about this one...


Turn on the purple light
Begin flashin'
By removing' your fashion
And start tongue lashin'
Now girl kiss her boobs
And you kiss her boobs too
And let your finger dash in
Lights, camera, action

anyone?

it was 'tape you' by n.e.r.d

someone else have a shot

Damn, I should pay attention to this thread! I knew that shit!

Tears of a Clown?

Sure is! Love that song!

FunkyJ, you're up! 

the creature in the sky
got sucked in ahole
now there's a hole in the sky
and the ground's not cold
and if the ground's not cold
everything is gonna burn
we'll all take turns
i'll get mine, too

this monkey's goooone to heaven - the pixies

(can't belive i managed to get one!! and it's actually 'Monkey Gone to Heaven' btw)



Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been
Belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself
Stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time

Pantera - Walk.

Not a bad song, not a huge Pantera fan though.

Auschwitz, the meaning of pain
The way that I want you to die
Slow death, immense decay
Showers that cleanse you of your life
Forced in
Like cattle
You run
Stripped of
Your life's worth

not sure. im guessing it isnt a love song by celine dion tho.

it's Slayer.

i know that much.

You can have it Kurko. Slayer is close enough. It was actually Angel of Death.

ahh you mean 'hey johnny depp'

Haha love those interpretational videos.

at misheard lyrics, god those things are awesome.


Typical Slayer Fan (thanks Grif)




Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it
Tall enough to always feel it
Always older, I'll always feel this

No more promise no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me
I just want to be me

mayonaise - smashing pumpkins

you know it!

i LOVE it!!


I'd like to close my eyes and go numb
But there's a cold wind coming from
The top of the highest high rise today
Its not a breeze cuz it blows hard
Yes and it wants me to discard the
The humanity I know, watched the warmth blow away
So don't let the world bring you down
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold
Remember why you came and while you're alive
Experience the warmth before you grow old

Incubus definitely...I think it is just called The Warmth.

yo yo yo!

now you go!

Fuck...Not thinking of a question again. Brief hiatus (and i mean brief this time!).

And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever

no idea, next question

Fucking hell it is like the 2nd or 3rd most covered song of all time! I will ask one by the same artist, that is even easier because I know there are multiple fans of one of the cover versions on this site.

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the ______?

Fuck I don't know how to spell it!

Hallelujah?

Yes, correct spelling aswell.

The first one was Suzanne, both By Leonard Cohen of course. You're up.

Rode the bmx we walked through the bush
The boys fight to ride it, but I just let em push
Keith stole an egg from a lil kookoo
Kept it safe in his mouth, while he danced the jookoo jookoo

There's only one ocean that got fish left
One day we'll have to be a really good chef
And I don't mean us in the bush making meth
Boys if you catch meth you catch your death
When I said that Keith sneezed and had a chick
Broke the little egg in his mouth in little bits

These lyrics are actually from two songs, the original released in 2002 by some Aussies was basically rereleased (with an additional verse or two) by a British artist in 2007.

I will accept either version as the answer 

Right then.... the songs were Mango Pickle Down River by MIA and Down River by the Wilcannia Mob and Morganics.

Next....

I always hit the apple when I'm going to shoot
So you can call me William Tell or Agent Cooper to boot
Mr. Mojo Risin' on the case again
So tell your mother and your sister and your sister's friends
Like an exterminator running low on dust
I'm bug powder itchin' and I can't be trust
Interzone trippin' and I'm off to Annexia
I gotta get a typewriter that's sexier
My name is Justin and that's all that's it
And I'll be spittin' rhymes wicked like it ain't for this shit
Houses of the Holy like Jimmy Page
But the song remains the same so I'm stuck in a rage
Just like Jane when she's going to Spain
I think I'm going away tomorrow, just a fool in the rain
Light up the candles and bless the room
I'm paranoid, snow blind, just a black meat fool

 

'Bug Powder Dust' by Bomb the Bass?!?
Can't remember these lyrics, but seeing as it has the term Bug Powder and the name Justin in it...
"I got the mugwump jizzm up in every verse!"
Fucking love this song.

Yes!

And the cover version is great too 

Sweet, did ya know the song is based on William Burrough's Naked Lunch. Hence the mugwump jizzm. Not exactly the mental image that one wants.

Anywayz, an easy one. Artists name deleted from lyrics...

The buddha monk's in your trunk, turn the bass up
Not stories by Aesop, place your loot up, parties I shoot up
_____, I analyze, drop a jew-el, inhale from the L
School a fool well, you feel it like braille
It ain't hard to tell, I kick a skill like Shaquille holds a pill
Vocabulary spills I'm Ill
plus Matic, I freak beats slam it like Iron Shiek
Jam like a tech with correct techniques
So analyze me, surprise me, but can't magmatize me
Scannin while you're plannin ways to sabotage me
I leave em froze like her-on in your nose
_____'ll rock well, it ain't hard to tell

Wouldn't be Nas - It Ain't Hard To Tell would it?

Tick!

Quality I possess something I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the rest
Of the microphone that I am holdin'
Copywritten lyrics so they can't be stolen
If they are snap
Don't need the police to try to save them
Your voice will sink so please stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that

snap - ive got the power

?

Too easy eh?

I can never find the middle ground between an obscure question that stumps everyone or something blatantly obvious haha!

Good work...

the last line gave it away for me...




Rat-tailed Jimmy is a second hand hood
Deals out in Hollywood
Got a '65 Chevy, primered flames
Traded for some powdered goods
Jigsaw Jimmy he's runnin' a gang
But I hear he's doin' o.k.
Got a cozy little job selling the Mexican mob
Packages the candycaine

Motley Crue - Dr. Feelgood


And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the ????????

Something about silence?

Enjoy the Silence?

no idea

next question!

Close enough! Took someone long enough to have a go!

The Sounds Of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel...a classic of the 60's folk music scene!

Gooooo DM!

bump!

lyrics please DM???

 

Sometimes I feel like I don't know whats going on.
Sometimes I let to believe everything I know is wrong.
I keep on telling myself thats its real,
and always keeping the truth it's all in my mind.
Explanations for the way that I feel are so hard to find. Boh! Boh! Boh!
That's why, that's why ...

Barcelona.

damn you now it's in my head.

*****!

Who's the black private dick
That's a sex machine to all the chicks?
(*****!)
You're damn right

Who is the man
That would risk his neck for his brother man?
(*****!)
Can ya dig it?

Who's the cat that won't cop out
When there's danger all about
(*****!)
Right on

You see this cat ***** is a bad mother--
(Shut your mouth)
But I'm talkin' about *****
(Then we can dig it)

He's a complicated man
But no one understands him but his woman
(John *****)

I chose it because it's been in my head all day 


And not even Shaft can get rid of it 

damn, i thought it would.

I would tell you
That I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already
Gone away

Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more

Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just
Keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes

boys don't cry by the cure.

one of the only songs i know/like of theirs.

yup 


buzz calls it my emo music 

i really don't blame him!

aii then:

we didn't have nowhere to live
we didn't have nowhere to go
until someone said
i know this place off burditt road

it was on the fifteenth floor
it had a board across the door
it took an hour
to pry it off and get inside

it smelt as if someone had died
the living room was full of flies
the kitchen sink was blocked
the bathroom sink not there at all

anyone?

It's gonna be one of those whiney british bands you seem to like innit? I'm sure you've asked a question about the same lyrics before!

Is it by blur or pulp or oasis? 

yes.

and i think you're right. i've had it in my head all week.

By deduction it's gotta be Pulp, as it's not Blur or Oasis, but I don't know the song at all.

gee aren't you a bright one. pretty sure i already admitted that.


it's pulp - mile end


dm you're up.

BOOM!
I know you're loving the goods that i'm delivering
Up in your neck of the woods so you can live again
Who is the cock in the coupe which part the chicken in
And dem copy the books that I have written in
And when you hear from the shout
Dem no have no discipline
And dem a run up dem mouth
Them never listening
And when the Gong no deh bout
I know you're missing him
Cause lyrically no doubt i'm nitroglycerin
Mi touch down it's carousels of luggages
My flip phone, my car cell, my messages
My girl bring me parcels and packages
Marijuana cigar smells in palaces
A few coil must pop off for di charities
Cause politician a palave' pon dem promises
A new face will fulfill the prophecies
It's too late for two faced apologies

anyone anyone? 

It's by the son of a famous dead guy... maybe no one knows this.... I'll ask a new question soon....

Bob Marley's son? What's his name... Ziggy Marley?

I don't know the song though.

Nope.... the other one 



... ehh I have no patience you can have it.... it's The Master Has Come Back by Damien Marley 

I was gonna guess Welcome to Jam Rock cos it is the only Damian Marley tune I know...

Yeah it's on that album.... if only I had more patience you could have had it khem 

Ahh well I still wouldn't have guessed the song...

Fire up Lexy!

 

Hot diggity!

Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
And everywhere I look there's a dead end waiting
Temperature's dropping at the rotten oasis
Stealing kisses from the leperous faces
Heads are hanging from the garbage man trees
Mouthwash jukebox gasoline
Crystals are pointing at a poor man's pockets
Smiling eyes ripping out of his sockets

oh it's Beck... too drunk to guess the song though 

Correct! It's Devil's Haircut 

No that's not correct.... I didn't want to get it right 

Well it's one thing to fall in love
But another to make it last
I thought that we were just beginning
And now you say we're in the past
Look me in the eye
and tell me we are really through

You know it's one thing to say you love me
but another to mean it from the heart
And if you don't intend to see it through
why did we ever start?
I wanna hear you tell me
you don't want my love

JOse gonzales i think not sure of the track name though

i reckon you're right mate.

it's called hand on your heart.

answer could also be kylie minogue as well.

yes 

Ask a question please trizzy or chris   

dave's away for a few days, so i'll have another crack then shall i.

Is it by pulp? 

 

you're by pulp

anyone? absolute classic.

thought possibly spank might have been onto it...

think about how you are singing the song. add in a couple of mmmm mmmm's

I can hear the first line in my head but the rest of the song isn't following it 

It's a really old song and it's a guy singing....

sure is a guy singing.

it's not really old. it's just old.

This was annoying me, so I cheated.

And I just got to say:

Fuck you Chris.

I fucking hate this guy and every song he's written, and now I've got this song stuck in my head!!!

i really don't mind him to be honest. has had some absolute classics.

will give it until tomorrow though.

Tom Petty?

Just the way you are! Knew it as soon as I read it...


(I couldn't remember who sang it tho and had to google - Billy Joel!)

for hayley. well done my dear!

you are most certainly up for that one.

come on you crazy cat lady!

you're up.
xx

Same, wouldnt admit it until someone else did 1st tho.  Ive got the song in my head now, wait and see how i feel about Billy in 3 hours...

fair call.

just move from that to we didn't start the fire and you won't have a worry in the world.

there are others on here who i know rate him too.

*puts hand up*

Definitely some classics. Piano Man, Matter Of Trust, Honesty, River Of Dreams are all faves off the top of my head, amongst the few mentioned here. Plus he rooted Christie Brinkley for years, he gets props for that one...

Question?

Ok OK

You can't control an independent heart
Can't tear the one you love apart
Forever conditioned to believe that we can't live
We can't live here and be happy with less
So many riches, so many souls
Everything we see we want to possess

Bump!

Come on you 80s freaks!

Give us another clue!

it's by sting.

no idea on the song name itself though.

set me free maybe?

nah erica. you knew the song name. i could just hear his voice in my head.

your shot.

Yep yep. And yes it is Sting. Go guys!

awesome.

you're up erica.

Evanescence - My Immortal 

too easy hightower!


mr brightside - the killers

haha I should have known you would get it straight away.

You're up!

I'm sure you've asked that one before chris! Originality is not your strong point   


And long term memory is not my strong point so I have no idea what it is 

i'm almost positive i haven't asked this one before. :stoner:

i've certainly posted it up in the lyrics thread though.
