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.

Thanks Mindy I now have Fraggle Rock stuck in my brain!

Right, slightly less cute and fluffy:

"Our little crimeworn histories
Black and smoking christmas trees
And honey, it ain't mystery
Why you're a mystery to me"

Nick Cave - Deanna.

Haha. Like to put a wild card in every so often

Not so cute and fluffy

On your knees, prisoner, take your position
Place your chin forward into the restraint
Your head slowly caves in from the compression
You fade in a blackout from the infernal pain

Patricia the Stripper - Chris de Burgh

Here's one...

No no no no no no no
No no no no no no no
No no no no no

No. WRONG!

Buddy Holly - It doesn't matter anymore?

Let's get this thread going again...

Don't you wonder, can't you see
what's happening to our lives
I can't keep living this masquerade
When my lonely eyes see only your face at night

I dream in infrared - queensryche

Well, you know I have a love
A love for everyone I know
And you know I have a drive
To live I won't let go

Correct!

Bonnie "Prince" Billy - I see the Darkness

I've got big plans
I've got something to say
Tomorrow is important
And so is the next day...

Double Yey!

Opps - forgot the lyrics!

"You won't lose the beat if you just keep clapping your hands"

Fruit Bats - The Ruminant Band?

Here's mine!

"I gave him roasted toadstools,
And a glass of dandelion wine. (burp, pardon...)
Then I put him on a train to Eastbourne."

Good call!

The Laughing Gnome - a very amusing David Bowie

"Play it so safe to stay on top. Shake it, imitate it, but it still sounds old.
We just can't understand why the man calls it lo-fi. "

Le Tigre - On the Verge

"You'll never guess what Jessica did
How did Mary Kate lose all that weight
And Katie had a baby so I guess Tom's straight"

MotherBeauty Bowling for Soup, can't think of the song. Tempted to say High School Never Ends?

"Losing in front of your home crowd. You wish the ground would open and take you down"

Fun thread. dolt that sounds so familiar but cannot for the life of me remember the actual song!

Here's mine

Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there, waiting for

mycat that's By The Way

Haven't read all the thread but here's mine (apologies if it's been done):

I used to make phantoms I could later chase
In images of all that could be desired
Then I got tired of counting all of these blessings
Then I just got tired

One thing kind of touched me today
I looked at you and counted all the times we had laid
Pressing our love through the night
Knowing it's right, knowing it's right

Now I'm hoping someone will care
Living on the breath of a hope to be shared
Trusting on the sons of our love
That someone will care, someone will care

Sorry, forgot to guess the previous song.
Song from under the floor boards - simple minds.

It's so quiet here
And I feel so cold
This house no longer
Feels like home.
