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.

Yes, correct! It really is, I love this thread! I'm going to Tenerife on Sunday so PLEASE keep this thread going, it is awesome. I will hopefully get on tomorrow but Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in advance!

Have a lovely time in Tenerife. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Here's mine-

Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived
If the table was turned would you survive

Thank you very much Mindy! And that is Band Aid 20! Chris Martin's part, I think?

How about? ...

"Feigning joy and surprise at the gifts we despise over mulled wine with you
On the 25th day of the 12th month
The sleigh bells are in time ringing true
How we cling each Noel to that snowflake's hope in hell
that it won’t end".

That's easy, Future...

Christmastime. The Darkness!

Bet you don't get this one?...

Creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes

Haha, yes, it was! I love that band! HAHA, that just made me laugh so much, such a classic! I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas!!! I think it was by Gayla Peevey?

"It's gonna take some time
But I'll get there
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights on the run
But soon there'll be a freeway
Get my feet on holy ground"

Ooh, and I had to post this video, I love it! Sam Brown looks genuinely terrified. If you don't know what I mean, watch it, it's brilliant!

It's my 2nd favourite Christmas track - Chris Rea, Driving Home for Christmas!

Great tune from the Darkness. Love the guitar on it!

Ok...you may not know the link but here's mine...

You took my dreams
From me when I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own

By the way, shouldn't you be packing??

Fairytale of New York, my favourite

In rented gear 2000 years we waited for a man
But with a tattooed tear she'd die for us all tonight.

Suede - My Dark Star

Hardly dashing through the snow
Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-dos
A few cards a few calls
No thanks, no party lights
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax

My favourite too, Lion. That was the link!

The Waitresses. Christmas Wrapping

Friends and relations send salutations
Just as sure as the stars shine above
(Yes, they do)
This is Christmas, Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the one that you love

Mindysgotswag I'm all packed and ready to go! So excited ... sunshine!!! Damn, I missed the Pogues and Suede! theredlion, that is The Waitresses 'Christmas Wrapping'!

"Where is Santa at his sleigh?
Tell me why is it always this way?
Where is Rudolph? Where is Blitzen, baby?
Merry Christmas, merry merry merry Christmas"

Haha, Mindy, you beat me to it!! And that is Jon Bon Jovi 'Please Come Home for Christmas'!

Yep!

Have a fantastic time & we hope to keep the thread going in your absence..

Safe trip! X

Aaw, thanks! Have a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year and I will catch you soon! x

Agreed thefutureof have an excellent Christmas and a Happy New Year said with no small amount of envy

Hope that everyone had a lovely Christmas and New year? Future...Red lion...think that it's about time this thread got started again.

Here's mine...

I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing,
nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever

Hiya! That would be David Bowie 'Heroes'. I have been so upset all week, love you David. I had a Blackstar tattoo on my wrist as a mark of respect.

"Last night they loved you, opening doors and pulling some strings, angel
Come get up my baby
In walked luck and you looked in time
Never look back, walk tall, act fine
Come get up my baby".

Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?

Pink Floyd 'Wish You Were Here'.

"It's not the side-effects of the cocaine
I'm thinking that it must be love
It's too late to be grateful
It's too late to be late again
It's too late to be hateful
The European cannon is here".

Station to Station - David Bowie...legend.

Good to have you back Future!

The joint was jumpin' like a cat on hot tin.
Lord, I thought the floor was gonna give in.
Soundin' a lot like a House Congressional
'Cause we're experimental and professional.

That's mine!

Thank you Mindysgotswag! Yes, it was and 'Golden Years' before that That was ZZ Top 'Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers'.

"Monday morning feels so bad,
Ev'rybody seems to nag me
Coming tuesday I feel better,
Even my old man looks good,
Wednesday just don't go,
Thursday goes too slow ..."
