I would like to do a Halloween theme/quiz night.
Is anyone up for it actually on Halloween? Or do you want weekend?

I'd love to but I'm busy on Halloween. But you guys go ahead..No I'm not trick or treating.

Extra line for no 9

Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright

But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time
Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time
I got a list of names, and yours is in red, underlined
I check it once, then I check it twice, oh!
2017

2,
You look like an angel (look like an angel)
Walk like an angel (walk like an angel)
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
1968

You're all I've ever wanted, but I'm terrified of you See my castle may be haunted, but I'm terrified of you I've cast my spell on millions, but I'm terrified of you Baby, I do this from the ceiling, but I'm terrified of you 2003
I was working in the lab, late one night When my eyes beheld an eerie sight For my monster from his slab, began to rise And suddenly to my surprise 1960s
I left alone, my mind was blank I needed time to think To get the memories from my mind What did I see? Can I believe? That what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy? 1980s

I left alone, my mind was blank
I needed time to think
To get the memories from my mind
What did I see? Can I believe?
That what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy?
1980s

If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart
Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart
2017

You better stop the things you do
I ain't lyin'
No, I ain't lyin'
You know I can't stand it
You're runnin' around

1960s

13-month-old baby
Broke the looking glass
Seven years of bad luck
The good things in your past
1970s

If there's somethin' strange
In your neighborhood
Who ya gonna call?
1980s

From my heart and from my hand
Why don't people understand my intention?
xxxxx
xxxxx
Plastic tubes and pots and pans
Bits and pieces and the magic from the hand
We're makin' xxxxxxxx
Things I've never seen before
Behind bolted doors, talent and imagination
1980s

So don't blink be what was there is now gone
Black suits with the black Ray Bans on
Walk in shadow, move in silence
Guard against extra-terrestrial violence
1990s

I'm just an average man with an average life
I work from nine to five, hey, hell, I pay the price
All I want is to be left alone in my average home
But why do I always feel like I'm in the twilight zone
1980s

It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely
Not for very much longer
I've got to keep control
1970s

I can tell the way they act and their attitudes
(As the tears roll from my eyes)
As the tears roll from my eyes
I feel the hurt inside
(As I reach, reach out to you)
As I reach out to you saying I'm so confused
1991

What do you know?
Why aren't you scared of me?
Why do you care for me?
When we all fall asleep, where do we go?
2019

Do you think I'm frightening? Organ chords and lightning
If I show my fangs, will you tell me that they're cool?
Mirrors shatter when I'm passing, broken glass and crashing
Little blurry stars scattered all across my room
2021

Baby, can't you see I'm callin'?
A guy like you should wear a warnin'
It's dangerous, I'm fallin' There's no escape,
I can't wait I need a hit, baby, give me it
You're dangerous,
1990s

I set my sights on you
(And no one else will do)
And I, I've got to have my way now, baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're havin' fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come
1980s

OP posts:
CoffeeBeansGalore · 31/10/2023 19:45

Saw all of the saints
Lock up the gates
I could not enter
Walked into the flames
Called out your name
But there was no answer
2015

Livin' easy
Lovin' free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Askin' nothin'
Leave me be
Takin' everything in my stride
1970s

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzlin' you
Is the nature of my game
1960s

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs, and their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head they are crying
1990s

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
I can't sleep, 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me, I'm a real live wire
1970s

Got your spell on me, baby
You got your spell on me, baby
Yes, you got your spell on me, baby
Turning my heart into stone
1960s Covered 70s

I've had nothing, but bad luck
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came into you sweet lady
Answering your mystical call
1970s

Well, she could've been a killer
If she didn't walk the way she do and she do
She opened strange doors
That we'd never close again
She began to wail jealousies scream
Waiting at the light know what I mean?
1980

Under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream
But terror takes the sound before you make it
80s

Drag him out your window, dragging out the dead
Singing I miss you, snakes and ladders
Flip the lid, out pops the cracker
Snaps you in the head, knifes you in the neck
Kicks you in the teeth, steel toe caps
2003

Full of honey
Just to make him sweet
Crystal balling
Just to help him see
What he's been missing
So come and get it
While you've still got time
2015

She'll only come out at night
The lean and hungry type
Nothing is new
I've seen her here before
Watching and waiting
Ooh, she's sitting with you, but her eyes are on the door
80s

Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side (do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do)
High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight
You feel my heat, I'm just a moment behind (do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do)
80s

I hear hurricanes a-blowin'
I know the end is comin' soon
I fear rivers overflowin'
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
Don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
1960s
