Lyrics you love - a guessing game

[MrsGuyGarvey]

Anyone fancy a game? Post some lyrics you love/resonate say why you love them and other posters guess what song they're from.

Mine is "it was cold and it rained and I felt like an actor"

Whenever it's cold and rainy (I live in the North, this is often) and I'm walking down the street I often feel like I'm in a film and it makes me think of this lyric.

magazine ! song from under the floorboards - excellent

'sometimes i give myself the creeps
sometimes my mind plays tricks on me'

Green Day - Basket Case

'You criticise and you flatter
You imitate the best, and the rest you memorise.
You know the times you impress me most
Are the times when you don't try
When you don't even try.'

Joni Mitchell 'Woman of Heart and Mind'!

"Hands across the water, heads across the sky,
Hands across the water, heads across the sky.

Live a little, be a gypsy, get around,
Get your feet up off the ground,
Live a little, get around".

Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey. Paul McCartney?

Here's mine. Enjoy...

Take this cup away from me
For I don't want to taste its poison
Feel it burn me,
I have changed
I'm not as sure
As when we started

It is indeed!!! I love that song, one of my favourite Paul solo moments ... everybody should know this song!

Jesus Christ Superstar 'Gethsemane'!!! Love the choice!!!

How about? ...

"Gin in teacups
And leaves on the lawn
Violence in dole queues
And the pale thin girl behind the checkout".

Haha...I know this because I was going to use these!

Babyshambles - Albion

Haha, I beat you to it! And right ... of course!

"Come on, babe
We're gonna brush the sky
I betcha Lucky Lindy
Never flew so high ..."

All that Jazz. Chicago.

Am I right...or am I right?

Mine for tonight...

And hide behind a mask of lies
We twist and turn and we avoid,
all hope of salvage now devoid
I see the truth inside your eyes

Mindysgotswag Yes, you are absolutely RIGHT!!! Maybe my favourite musical!

And yours is Savage Garden 'A Thousand Words'

A nice bit of pop music for my very long night working!!!

"Beware false prophets, take a stand
My fortune cookie cracked up in my hand
More advice to fill up your head
More empty words from the living dead
Seek to explain what can't really be said"

My boyfriend is his lookalike by the way, haha!

Jealous now!!!

Paul "gorgeous" Weller - Porcelain Gods.

I'll be singing
Like a caged bird who might say
John, Paul, George and Ringo
Help me pass the hours away

Any ideas?

Right!!! Haha, he is gorgeous, isn't he?! He seems to get more gorgeous with age!

Yours is Pete Doherty 'Broken Love Song'! Good choice!

"Look at me, proud of being
Proud of being seventeen
Locking in the pocket a smile
Soft from the school
Cut by the rule
Oh, I'm dazed and I'm dazed and I'm dazed".

Beatles & the Stones - House of love?

Looks like its just you & I...Future!

Here's mine...

And so you're drinking in your room to make it all go
It didn't end too soon, you've got the next one
You're holding on too long, you've got to let go
Your other love is gone and you know

Hello! I am so sorry I missed this before! Yes, absolutely right!!! Haha, it was nearly just you on your own, whoops, but I am back in the land of the living! And yours is Two Door Cinema Club 'Eat That Up, It's Good for You'!

"I'm in the furniture trade
Got a new job today
I'll stick the cretin
On the number-three lathe".

Eat y'self fitter. The Fall.

Is it a coincidence that I just changed my perfume?

Welcome back! &

Here's mine -

You know that big ball of radiation we call the sun?
Well it'll burst you into flames
If you stay in one place too long

Welcome back! &

Haha! Yes, absolutely right! Thank you, I think I must have missed an Email notification somewhere!

My Chemical Romance 'Goodnite, Dr Death'!

"Sensurround sound in a two inch wall
Well I was waiting for the communist call
I didn't ask for sunshine and I got World War three
I'm looking over the wall and they're looking at me".

Holidays in the Sun - Sex Pistols

Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
Poor Boy twangs the rhythm out, on his Kalamazoo
And Willy goes into a dance

...you'll never get this one!

Yes, right! Ooh, don't be so sure, haha! Creedence Clearwater Revival 'Down On the Corner'!!! Good choice!!!

"Snowman melting from the inside
Falcon spirals
To the ground
So bloody red tomorrows clouds".

Good choice yourself, Future!

This is not America. David Bowie. And very seasonal too!

Here's mine...

Made a rag pile of my shiny clothes
Gonna warm my bones
Gonna warm my bones
I got silence on my radio

Thank you Mindysgotswag!!! I love that song!!! And another amazing choice from yourself, Rolling Stones 'Moonlight Mile'

"Let's do loneliness in style
Let's put on moonlight mile
And feel those radio waves flow
And don't say you won't

Lose your heart
I lose my mind
We'll make quite a pair
Dazzling all the time"

Here's mine...

Jerked my fountain
Ice cream mountains
I suppose I'm just too late
Form a line here
I think I'll die here
These people naseate me
