The Song Lyric Quiz

wooohoo!! i'll take that

I told the niggaz please let us pass, friend
I said please cause I don't like killing Africans
but he wouldn't stop and I ain't Ice Cube
but I had to take the brother out for being rude
and like I said before I was mad by then
It took three or four cops to pull me off of him
But that's the story y'all of a black man
acting like a nigga and get stomped by an African

everyday people-arrested development

i'll let you have it.

it's actually 'people everyday'.

thought you'd get that one.

Love is like a bomb baby c'mon get it on
Livin' like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin' like a tramp like a video vamp
Demolition woman can I be your man?

as if your not getting this chris!!:P

fuck. i thought it was still the last one! i had no idea on it so i've left the thread alone.

def leppard - pour some sugar on me.


ooooh yeah.

lol yup

The Beatles - Penny Lane?


... or a day in the life or something!

lucky you had a second guess there!


a day in the life it is. easily my favourite beatles recording.

I knew it because I guessed penny lane the first time you asked that question   

Elvis was a hero to most
But he never meant shit to me you see
Straight up racist that sucker was
Simple and plain
Mother fuck him and John Wayne
Cause I'm Black and I'm proud
I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped
Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps
Sample a look back you look and find
Nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check
Don't worry be happy
Was a number one jam
Damn if I say it you can slap me right here
(Get it) lets get this party started right

god my short term memory is up to shit lately...

Dont believe the Hype-Public Enemy



*edit* no wait-fight the power, public enemy

lol first thing that came to mind......


I go ooh ooh, you go ah ah
lalalalalalalala

lalalalalalalala
I wanna wanna wanna get get get what I want
Don't stop
Give me give me give me what you got got
Cause I can't wait wait wait any more more more more

oh dear me....

veronicas - untouched

I drink good coffee every morning
Comes from a place that's far away
And when I'm done I feel like talking
Without you here there is less to say
I don't want you thinking I'm unhappy
What is closer to the truth
That if I lived till I was 102

love this song:)

okay it was a tad obscure....  i just dont think i'll ever get over you - colin hay.

this one should be a little easier



Oh, we're sinking like stones,
All that we fought for,
All those places we've gone,
All of us are done for.

Coldplay - Don't Panic

aww i actually knew that one

go on then brainburglar...

Alrighty then....

"You want me, well fucking well come and find me
I'll be waiting with a gun and a pack of sandwiches"

 

had a mental blank on the name of the song. by radiohead though.

It is by Radiohead, but i'm gonna need the name of the track...

Its in Romeo + Juliet...

doesn't help

qua qua will know i'm sure.

Anyone? If No one knows it i'll think of a new question...

great soundtrack

think its Talk Show Host?

well done. you're up mate 

love this song


Today I sleep in the chair by the window,
It felt as if you'd returned.
I thought that you were standing over me,
When I woke there was no-one there.
I still love you.........

ASH - GIRL FROM MARS!!! (Though she never told me her name)

its in my head now... wicked! thanks


Well I know I'm not always right
And girl it breaks my heart
When I have to see you cry
So many things I wanna say
Now I know that you're the reason
That I'm here today


(now this one's in my head )

i would have thought this tune would have gone quickly.

first verse:

Well it seemed like yesterday
When the world was looking dark
It felt so cold and grey
And why the hell am I even here?
What's the purpose, all I feel is guilt and hate and fear

cailin - unwritten law.

best song they did just about.

again, need to look here more often.

knew i recognised it!

good work chris.

awesome group back in the day, great live (back in the day), just recently rediscovered them in my cd collection.

yeah they had some good tunes. were on the wrong side of a good time for their genre in music though i reckon. too close to sum41 and blink 182 to really have a strong sense of credibility.

still though, cailen was a beautiful song.

back soon with another question

my brother bill
he work for the market
life is an arrow and now he's the target
dreamin for somethin
reachin for somethin
just waitin for the sun to carry me in

hope someone can get this. one of my favourite songs in the last ten years.

sounds like Highly Evolved by the Vines?

boom!

both you and the song.

awwwww  : no homo heart :


one of my faves here


Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl

Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence

a classic


all yours mate

Yeah love that tune man   

Ummm...

The world was on fire
No one could save me but you.
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

A super-cheesy favourite of mine...

lol Chris Isaak nice. Wicked Game

sing a long chorus time

I touched you once, I touched you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd meet again

OMD - If you leave

Edit: I know I'm right so:

Lovely legs they are
What a big black mess
What a hunk of love
Walk her every day into a shady place
He's like the dark, but I'd want him

Anyone?

hint please? that second to last line is ringing bells

The band broke up 11 years ago, reformed 4 years ago, and toured Australia last year - their first visit to Australia ever...

pixies - gigantic (a big big love)

okay then....

Sometimes I know, and sometimes Im on the go
But Im comin back, so dont give me no flack, yeah
Its all you, and its me too
And its your world, yous the girl, yous the girl
Happier than shit, things that might go click with me
Click with you, is that love? is that love

"is that love, is that love?"

Ween, Push the Little Daisies?

i seem to have lost my cd single of it

Rocking steady in her daddy`s car
She got the stereo with the big guitars
And that`s all right, yeah (all right)

I got the itch and a restless soul
She gone with the wind
Gonna go for broke tonight
Yeah, and that`s all night

  typical.

david lee roth - living in paradise

lol thats the one. Awesome film clip. The rock climbing in it makes absolutely no sense

he made heaps of sense though.


ok.

one of my all time favourites.

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for.

Sam Cooke - Wonderful World?

sensational work.

Classic tune, love it.

OK...


Love this one!

Damn you guys, both Chris' and Glock's lyrics started singing themselves in my head but I got no idea who sings either of em.

*bump*

Anyone know? (I have no clue)

no idea

Sorry guys, I forgot I had this one!

Think 80's hair metal ballad...the lyrics there are in the soft intro bit with piano then it rocks out later on. If that's not good enough I'll post up some more lyrics in a bit...which should seal the deal...

Is it Roddum Stwewart in some capacity?!?

Not even close! I don't know how you got Rod Stewart from '80's hair metal' but oh well...

Cos he had the hair part down pat. Plus somehiong to do with sailing.

is it "i'm sailing"???

haird band? hmmm Styx? Sail Away?

yep. i googled.

a fave of mine


I never meant 2 cause u any sorrow
I never meant 2 cause u any pain

I thought you'd probably get it. Love that track!

bump for someone to get it before Lauren does

purple rain people, PURPLE RAIN - Prince

Your soul can't hate anything.
Everything about you is so easy to love,
They're watching you from above.

muse - bliss!   

nice!

here i am expecting just a little bit too much from the wounded
but i see through it all and see you
so i threw you the obvious
to see what occurs behind the eyes of a fallen angel
eyes of a tragedy

awww you chose one of my favourites 

well it was on behalf of u babe:)

 

anyone?

Ooooooooh one of my all time favourites 

A perfect circle - 3 libras

My body bruised, shes got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

Everytime I close my eyes,

Can't get you out of my mind,
sexing you is all I need

i know that its craig david lol

You can have it though babe-you're up:)

well they are still the lyrics to freakin you by craig david lol

my turn? 

lol yes yes, your turn

Since I was born.

riddim's up on the...
Everybody have a long....
rude boy massive become follow me
Got this time in, oh you got energy, ah your time to get lively here

anyone know this?

it certainly doesn't read like a classic

i have no idea.

It IS a classic 

Fuk yaz all... it's Ruffneck by Freestylers!

Try this classic:

Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough

Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love

living on a prayer - bon jovi


now that's a classic.

agreed

Bon Jovi-Classic

Freestylers-Plastic

Now yes, but not the We Rock Hard album 

Um...that one that goes "I knoooww this muuuch is truuue"

Spandau ballet? haha

that's the one. it's lauren and my song.

you're up hayley. definitely close enough.

spandau ballet - true.

awwww chris

We'll just pass him there
Why should we even care?

Ohhh clue! Come on, it is on the tip of my tongue.

Iron Man

*rocks out*

0o0o yeah! classic

Ok, this will test yas...


And the devil in black dress watches over
My guardian angel walks away
Life is short and love is always over in the morning
Black wind come carry me far away

Sisters of Mercy - Temple of Love   


First you look so strong,
Then you fade away.
The sun will blind your smile,
I watch you for a while.

 

Goth

 

They use that song all the time on sports shows so nerr 


Now shuddup and guess my song... it's an oldy so you should know it!

Doh! I give up... it was Ride - Vapour Trail 

I guess not many people would know the lyrics.... but lots of people will know this one:


Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They will turn away no more

And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But Im quite sure that youll tell me
Just how I should feel today

I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasnt for your misfortunes
Id be a heavenly person today

blue monday-new order

Yes 

Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquisition

The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone

clue time then


 

You didn't give me enough time!!!

I heard it on my ipod this morning


I was going to say "what clue, dumbarse" and then I realised : slayer :

So the band is Slayer, no idea what song though. Probably something about death or blood or some shit.

slayer yes and lol it does contain the word Blood

Ok, so I'm gonna just go then... 

no you're not.

Ha ha. Reign In Blood for the previous question? I didn't want to answer because the only lyrics I know off by heart are hip hop ones, and using that shit would probably kill the thread!
Don't know what J's one is, but it looks like it could be a good track!

what track?

you're up keyser!

Reign in Blood it was


hip hop lyrics are lyrics too

CUNT!

Mine were hiphop lyrics too

song lyrics.

hip hop rhymes.

dnb riddims.

Goddam! I was meaning for you to have your question, J! 

"I did your partner cos she's hot as a baker, not cos I hate ya."

Get that into ya then!

 lol, hip hop hooorrraayyyyyy hooooooooo


NBN

So so def. 

jermaine dupri!;)

ummmmm

Oh I wake up feeling the same way every day
Aching numb with the pain that I can't chase away
So I'm wondering who's taking up your sacred precious time
Living from day to day without a single sign
Would I lie? Oh no



oved this album, had it on tape:)

one word one letter one line.

and i'd feel a whole lot better!!!

baby animals for sure. don't know any song names of theirs though. guess at 'one word', or 'one letter'???

you have to actually get the right answer mate. not just say i think blood will be in the title. he'd already given you slayer.

One Word, Baby Animals it is

cool. aii then.

it's Chris so it's gotta be Block Party - She's Hearing Voices

big up.

gees... now I wonder what lyrics I'm going to post...

Listen more then once you'll need several inspections
I'm sicker than a beef recall
Reiterate the fact with flows that free fall
Reintroduction the classic material
That last with imperial
Props and Pop Will Eat Itself

ha, Or else you'll be funkyyyy!!


If you must by Del

Right person, wrong song.

(technically not even right artist, though)

Deltron 3030 can't remember the name but it was on Tony Hawk's 3.

wow i really read it as If You must. Now I'm intrigued!

Nope

give you a clue...

Ph______ Ph____________

The second word is normally spelled with an "F"

ohhh ummm Phony Phrancise

yup!

And technically it's by Hieroglyphics, but Del is the powerhouse in them anyway, so I'll give it to you

lol cool

Hot sun is a killer
She'll be waitin' at the end of my line
Taking the shade with a cool lemonade sayin
Boy I wanna talka to you
Bossmans' only daughter
She ain't his and she'll never be mine
Never be down on a dollar or two
Or told what she's gonna do

tucker's daughter - mossy!!!

haha i fkn knew you'd get it at "hot sun is a killer" alone

lol. in my head now. thanks mate.

cool. here we go then.

Fatboy Slim - don't let the man get you down



The original song is called Signs, but no idea on the band name. Maybe Manfred Mann's Earth Band.

Some hippy shit anyway

that'll do.

it was called signs and it was by the five man electric band.

give us a song j!!

Sorry...

I only get to look at AM about 3-4 times a day now, rather than being constantly on it like the old days


EDIT:

I don't wanna blow up, throughout every era I've been here
So far the underground circuit has been fair
The home of hip hop, can you say you've been there?
Home's where the heart is so hip hop lives right here

It's Skinnyman! The song title... FUCK! 'Home Is Where Hip Hop Is'?   

got the artist... wrong title though.

____ the ____

anyone?

Fuck it, I just looked at the CD cover. 

Fuck The Hook!

Vibrations good like Sunkist
Many wanna know who done this
_____ ____ and I'm here to move you
Rhymes will groove you
And I'm here to prove to you
That we can party on the positiive side
And pump positive vibes
So come along for the ride
Making you feel the rhythm is my occupation
So feel the vibration

just cos it's chris I'm gonna say Led Zeppelin

No idea on song

oh yeah it does sound like it could be led zeppelin, but it also sounds like it could be the rolling stones???

dare say Chris would be in a drunken stupor by now so we may have a bit of a wait

buzz says it's misty mountain hop by led zeppelin 

buzz is up!

just quietly. haven't met him for more than ten seconds, but think we'd make some pretty decent babies.

Then as it was, then again it will be
An' though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea
Blind stars of fortune, each have several rays
On the wings of maybe, down in birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to grow
But as the eagle leaves the nest, it's got so far to go

Changes fill my time, baby, that's alright with me
In the midst I think of you, and how it used to be

Did you ever really need somebody, And really need 'em bad
Did you ever really want somebody, The best love you ever had
Do you ever remember me, baby, did it feel so good
'Cause it was just the first time, And you knew you would

Through the eyes an' I sparkle, Senses growing keen
Taste your love along the way, See your feathers preen
Kind of makes makes me feel sometimes, Didn't have to grow
We are eagles of one nest, The nest is in our soul

ten years gone - led zeppelin

physical graffiti is such an under-rated album!

I knew you'd get it I just wanted to post those lyrics.

physical graffiti is one of my favs, been jamming "sick again" lately and also play custard pie and the rover from that album   

You want to make babies with all the guys you meet though...

nice one.

reckon my favourites would be houses of the holy and bron-yr-aur. actually, trampled underfoot is up there too. 


and julian. not all men. you're more friend material.

  I'll give it to you

Leonard Cohen is the depressing cunt who sings it. Although I heard a soul version this morning... really good and not as wrist slashing

haha, i knew it was definitely someone you'd gas yourself too.

ai then.


song is easy, artist is a bit harder to get i reckon.

she don't use jelly - the flaming lips   

easy peezy!

hahaha. i wasn't sure if you were about to get it.

damn. would have been hard for most.

 

I feel the question
Of your loneliness
Confide... `cause Ill be on your side
You know I will, you know I will

RHCP - My Friends.

Nice one!

PS. I thought that 'she don't use jelly' song is called Vaseline? 'She don't use jelly - she uses Vaseline' right? Anyhoo...


I saw her today, I saw her face
It was the face I loved and I knew
I had to run away and get down on my knees and pray
That they'd go away

deceiving isn't it!

I hate it when bands do that!

That was an old classic from the 60s called 'Needles & Pins' I'm not too surprised there weren't any takers...

New one:


One man on a lonely platform
One case sitting by his side
Two eyes staring cold and silent
Show fear as he turns to hide

80s classic people!

The title is similar to an expression for what you may experience when you go under anaesthetic for an operation...

Going under?

Under?

Sorry it'd been too long.

Visage - Fade To Grey (for some reason I could only find French lyrics online for some other verses but the copy I have is in English - they must have done 2 versions)

Aaaanyway...

Let's try something a little less obscure.

pumpkins - zero


Would you believe me when I tell you
You are the queen of my heart
Please don't deceive me when I hurt you
Just ain't the way it seems

They did both French & English in the same song. So avantgarde!

nirvana - love buzz

YES!

love your work Tim 

sweet, had that on the tip of my brain! see how this one goes...


A touch of spring, and autumn sweet
Well the trees vibrate when our eyes meet
And I think of all the love that we have been making
You touch my hand and I walk off shaking

australian artist

john farnham?

it is you know.

another touch of paradise

good song too.

haha you're up chris!

no one? steve?

i had to google, and boy do i feel retarded!!!   

as you should be!

monster's in the parasol - queens of the stone age

someone else can go now.

easy as pie.

seriously, i can't believe this hasn't been answered yet.

will give it till lunch or thereabouts.

Jesus. And that song was in my short list for the hottest 100 LOL. *hangs head in shame*

my god. someone can pick a new song if they want.


this was sympathy for the devil - the rolling stones.

I'm more of a Beatles fan LOL.

May I proceed?

edit:

Speak to me of heroin and speed
Of genocide and suicide, of syphilis and greed
Speak to me the language of love
The language of violence, the language of the heart
This isn't the first time I've asked for money or love
Heaven and earth don't ever mean enough
Speak to me of heroin and speed
Just give me something I can believe

Ok, hint time: it's a P.J Harvey song.

Ok, here's an easy-peasy one:

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive.

is that 'the whores hustle and the hustlers whore'?

Yep 

wicked.


Looking down kitchen at the top of stairs
can I mix in with your affairs?
Share a smoke, make a joke,
grasp and reach for a leg of hope.

Words to memorize, words hypnotize,
words make my mother exercise.
Words all fail the magic prize,
nothing I can say when I am in your thighs.

Come on maomamamamomy mother..

Add it Up - Violent Femmes

Bitchin!!!!

You nose it.

I have a secret to tell
From my electrical well
Its a simple message and Im leaving out the whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me
Filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary one note* spelled l-i-t-e
My storys infinite
Like the longines symphonette it doesnt rest

anyone?

maybe ask another yak?

Well that was They might be Giants - Birdhouse in your Soul

How about this then:

Oh I lie here in the wet patch
in the middle of the bed
I'm feeling pretty damn hard done by
I spent ages giving head

Then I remember all the nice things
that you've ever said to me
maybe I'm just overreacting
maybe you're the one for me

lily allen - it's not fair.

 

Lucky Man - The Verve!

indeed it is.

love your work cait.

Eh?? 

how the fuck did i misread that?

i've done that twice to sera too i reckon. 

  you're a dick!

Who'd you rather be?
The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?
Oh, seriously
You're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on, baby, play me a song
Like, "Here Comes the Sun"

here's a clue - they're playing at Parklife!

Ummm... Empire of the sun?

i reckon it's metric but haven't got any idea on any of their song names. hrmm.

you're right chris! it's metric - gimme sympathy

don't mind a few of their tracks i have to admit.

aii then. early nineties chart topper here.

is it Richard Marx?

ring a ding ding.

richard marx - hazard 

nice juan mate.

maka?

knowing quaz, i daresay that is good charlotte. i have no freaking idea what the song might be though.

Helloooo? Buuuump!

you ask one cait. has been a good 6 or more weeks now.

Aiii! This is one of my favourite tunes when I am down.

But I know
You can get far away
And do whatever you want to
But you'll never get ready
Cos there's no time today. Yeeeeaaaah.

positive it's spiderbait but have no bloody idea on the song name.

 

fk off

Feel the Pain - Dinosaur Jr

xx

On the right track, Chris. Right band...

yeah, i've got nothing else to add to it though. would have thought quaz might have been able to fill the gaps..

Plastic.

Here's another one then, a bit easier and much cheesier.

Everybody
Rock your body
Everybody
Rock your body right

Yes, I was in love with this act as a tween.

Backstreet Boys innit? Rock Your Body?

Tis! For some reason they were the first lyrics that popped into my head. Take it!

I feel dirty having known that one.

An oldie here:

haha, earth wind and fire. september.

nice

Such a great, happy song.

no one? come on this is easy

No idea, but I keep on singing "parklife" whenever I read your sig.

don't blame you, it's a great song.

everyone should know the song clue!

I googled. Fuck it was the band I thought it was too. Totally their style.

quaz or julian should know this after the first line.

lol I was reading at Vasoline at first. its ACDC, Whole Lotta ummmmm, shit. Whole Lotta Mental Blank

lol. i'll pay it.

whole lotta rosie - acdc

lol I really should have know that

Esther used to be
The kind of girl that you would never leave
She'd do anything
to give me what I neeed for my disease
she'd do anything



(and no, its not fkn Good Charlotte:P)

heroin girl - everclear

THE DRUMMER FROM DEF LEPPARD'S ONLY GOT ONE ARM!


*inspired by Millionaire Hot Seat

lol BHG - Why's Everyone Always Picking on Me

A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then it's smiles cover your heart

fade into you - mazzy star.

fuck i love that song!

ditto

The cold is biting
Through each and every nerve and fibre,
My broken spirit is frozen to the core.
Don't wanna be here no more.

Clue?

awesome 80's song!

completely forgot about this.  not on much so ask another question if need be!

Ok something more recent then....

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though

gotye - somebody that i used to know

anyone else want to add one? i just like answering them.

Okey Doke.

Oh mother,
Tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery...

Okey Doke.

Oh mother,
Tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery...

John Lennon - Happy Xmas (War Is Over)?

Edit: Nope, that's wrong...I just remembered the lyrics. I'm pretty sure I know this though...

Keep trying!

OK, it was House of the Rising Sun by The Animals.

Someone else go!
