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!
