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.

Thefuture - did anyone get your two Time for Heroes by the Libertines and Bar Italia by Pulp?

How about:

I sat beside the telephone
Waiting for someone to pull me through
When at last it didn’t ring I knew it wasn’t you

Billy Bragg - New England

I think Billy Bragg is a greatly under rated lyricist.

AskingForAPal No, nobody got those two so thank you very much! And love the Billy Bragg lyric! I agree, Billy Bragg is a legend!

How about ...

"No, I sent you that letter to ask you if the end was worth the means
Was there really no in-between?
And I still don't feel better, just wondered if it could be like before
And I think you just made me sure".

Has anybody seen Billy Bragg on this? It's very interesting

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in you perfect eyes, they're all I can see.

Chasing cars (Snow Patrol)

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Hey there Deliah (Plain White T's)

"No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope"

John Lennon - Gimme some truth?

Then I'm throwing dice in the alley
Officer Leroy comes up and he's, like,
"Hey, I thought I told you..."
And I'm, like, "yeah, whatever!

History repeats the old conceits, the glib replies, the same deceits.
Keep your finger on important issues, with crocodile tears and a pocket full of tissues.

History Repeats - Elvis Costello?

Yeah that's Beyond Belief by Elvis Costello

Money that's United States of Whatever! Haven't heard that for a long time, can't remember the artist.

How about:

If it turns to blue, what are we gonna do?
If it stays on white, will it be alright?
If it all turns sour, it's too late
The CSA are bound to find you soon.

Yes Mindysgotswag! And AskingForAPal, Catatonia 'You've Got A Lot to Answer For'! Tune!

"First time, I did it for the hell of it
Stuck it on the back of my tounge and then swallowed it
Second time, things are getting easier
Blow me down, this wind is getting breezier
Third time lucky, maybe feeling fuzzy
Oh my God, we're getting hippy-dippy ..."

SFA - Something for the weekend, Future?

Get up off my genitals

Mindysgotswag, yes!!! Lol to the second post, Black Eyed Peas, 'Don't Stop the Party'!

"Please don't put your life in the hands,
Of a rock 'n roll band,
We'll throw it all away ..."

Don't look back in anger - Oasis, Future?

Yes to BEP, Future. Cooking on gas!!

Yep Mindysgotswag! Lol, thank you!

"Forgot my six-string razor - hit the sky
Half way to memphis 'fore I realised
Well I rang the information - my axe was cold
They said she rides the train to oreoles".

i swear i recognize your breath
memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
me, you wouldn't recall, for i'm not my former
it's hard when, you're stuck upon the shelf

Mott the Hoople - All the way to Memphis?

Pearl Jam 'Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in A Small Town'!
Yes to Mott the Hoople, one of my all time favourite songs ever!

"The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames ..."

the future smashing pumpkins - bullet with butterfly wings.

Eight legs to the wall
Hit the gas, kill them all

Right, Future!
