Guess that song

[Taffy]

Ok, heres a little game I learnt the other day. Very simple, so all you noobs shouldn't struggle with it

Basically, someone puts down some song lyrics (min 2 lines) and whoever guesses the song and artist first gets to have a go! Simple as that!

I'll start off with a good song:

Here's a thought for every man
Who tries to understand what is in his hands
He walks along the open road of Love & Life
surviving if he can

NO GOOGLING OTHERWISE FURY WILL SMACK YOUR BOTTOM VERY HARD!!!

 

[SgtFury]

See are you going to stipulate no googling otherwises it's very easy

 

[elDiablo]

Fury - who needs google, that's Oasis with Cast no shadow

Here's mine:

The clown with the frown driving down to the sidewalk fair
Finger on the trigger let me tell you it was quite a scare

 

[Gopha]

Mr e's beautiful blues- the eeels

Work for my daddyo, work for my dadyo theres whiskey in the jar-bo

 

[Nanor]

Metallica (Thin Lizzy w/e) - Whiskey in the Jar

Son can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger mans clothes

 

[Loki]

Piano Man - Billy Joel

And though they were sad,
They rescued everyone,
They lifted up the sun,
A spoonful weighs a ton.

 

[Shadow]

Flaming Lips - A Spoonful Weighs A Ton (but good of you to leave the title in the quote!).

I was never cool in school.
I'm sure you don't remember me.
And now it's been ten years,
I'm still wondering who to be.

 

[elDiablo]

Ben Folds - Underground

I'm breaking through, I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom

 

[Birdy]

rem great beyond ?? i think?? REM deffo knowing u!!

ok...

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love.......

 

[Twisto]

Its the wonderful Keane with 'Somewhere only we know'

Try this old-ish one

And I’m telling this story
In a faraway scene
Sipping down raki
And reading maynard keynes

 

[DeZmond]

And I’m telling this story
In a faraway scene
Sipping down raki
And reading maynard keynes

And I'm thinking about home
and all that that means
and the places I went to
with Di-i-i-gnity

<insert piano/guitar thing here>

Dignity by Deacon blue? (I actually can't remember their name, but I think it was them)

Okay, if - and only if - I got that one right then here's one for you that is easy, and a bonus that's a little bit of a challenge!

[easy]

I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said "You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up an walk away"

[difficult]

...
If I had myself a flying giraffe
I'd have one in a box with a window

But you can have it all if you like
You can have it all if you like
And you can pay for it the rest of your life

 

[Birdy]

pah pathetic the difficult one is stereophonics and i wouldnt believe ur radio!!!

top tune!

ummmm hows about this then....

Tonight Im tangled in my blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud
Things just wont do without you, matter of fact
Im on your back, Im on your back, Im on your back
....

 

[Tetsuo_Shima]

Foo Shiters - Walking After You

That's it sir, you're leaving
The crackle of pig skin
the dust and the screaming
the yuppies networking
the panic
the vomit
the panic
the vomit
god loves his children
god loves his children, yeah!

With Lennon and Cobain and

A guitar and a stereo

Having just has a misappropriate conversation with thatbird on the shoutbox I remembered a line from an old favourite.

Here's my challenge. A single liner to make it uber difficult:

"masturbation saved my life"

Shadow may well remember this as I've subjected her to the tape a lot during my youth

 

[Tetsuo_Shima]

Hmmmmmm, I cant remember that line specifically, but I do remember the 'I'm A Wanker' song by Gerorge Formby that we used to try and play as loud as we could in computing class

'Im a wanker, I'm a wanker,
It does me good (like it bloody well should!)
I'm a wanker, I'm a wanker
Im something something something rhymes with -ood'

 

[BiG D]

aha! Good catch
*takes note to go way more obscure next time*

 

[Fuzzy Bunny]

Therapy? - Femtex

I'm so sorry
But the cupboards have never been so bare
in my heart
She's so Hungry
Always wanting another slice
of love

It's a good thing she likes love more than food
Because otherwise, she'd be so fat
Sandwiches are like cocaine
Or maybe more like casserole
