Put up a line or two from a song for people to guess.

For example:

Is there anybody out there trying to get through?
My eyes are so cloudy I cant see you

So much for your promises
They died the day you let me go
Caught up in a web of lies
But it was just too late to know

NeedToKnow101 · 25/06/2020 16:58

"Hey boy" they shout, "Have you got any money?"
And I said, "I've a little money and a takeaway curry
I'm on my way home to my wife

Even when you're home
You won't pick up your phone
And take my call

You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
