Song Lyrics

Inspired by (ok, you got me...I'm just stealing the idea) a few similar notes on facebook recently here are a few lyrics from some of my favourite songs and bands for you to try and guess. How many can you get...I've tried not to be too obscure but be prepared, this may get eclectic...

1) You quiver like a candle on fire, I'm putting you out

2) Take your shoes off and I'll throw them in the lake

3) No excuse to be so callous, dress yourself in bleeding madras, charm your way across the Khyber Pass

4) Here's an evening dark with shame, throw it on the fire, and here's the time I took the blame, throw it on the fire

5) Every time just like the last, on her ship tied to the mast

6) But ask me why and I'll spit in your eye. Oh ask me why and I'll spit in your eye

7) Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical, a criminal. Oh won't you sign up your name we'd like to see you're acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable.

8) I'm coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine

9) She's a little pilot in my mind, singing songs I love to pass the time, gonna write a song so she can see, give her all the love she gives to me

10) He was shot six times by a man on the run and she couldn't find how to push through

11) Don't waste your time on me, you're already a voice inside my head

12) Windmill, windmill for the land is everybody in?

13) Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning

14) We'll see the stars that shine bright, stars made for us tonight

15) Just trying to see in the dark, just try to make it work, feel the fear before you're here

16) Music's my language and all I can say, is that you are the one who takes me away

17) Um what you say? Um that you only meant well? Well of course you did

18) Speed so fast felt like I was drunk, city lights lay out before us

19) Sunny days where have you gone? I get the strangest feeling you belong

20) Because out of all the people I've known, the places I've been, the songs I have sung, the wonders I've seen. Now that the dreams are all coming true, who is the one that leads me on through? It's you!

Flat sorted...what's next?

Okie Kokie, I've found (and more importantly put money down on) a nice little one bed flat within easy walking distance of work...so panic over, or at least that panic is over...now I can panic about all sorts of different things. Not least my probable difficulties in actually affording anything, don't think I'll be going out ever again...not that that would be the end of the world cos it's a pretty decent space.

For your interest (though I doubt you are interested) I've got one of six flats in a refurbished pub. Reasonably sized kitchen/living room decent double bedroom and a small shower room, all up on the first floor. Rather pleasingly the whole shebang is in an L shape round one side of the building so I've got an absolute load of windows...whether I can actually fit the sofa up the stairs is another matter entirely...and one I'm trying not to think about too much

As I suggested last time out I'm not a 100% sure on whether I'm actually going to have internet in the place so blogging is liable to go somewhat out the window for at least a month or two whilst I move in and sort stuff out. I'll still be checking e-mail and so forth from work so i won't be completely out of the loop.

So if you need somewhere to crash in the west country, you know who to call (not the ghostbusters)
