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.

[Mindysgotswag]

Straight to Hell - Clash

[Mindysgotswag]

You want it – I’m the one
I got it – I’m Mr. Fun
You need it – I’m Captain Cool, yeah
Come get it – And I’ve come for you

[thefutureofpolitics]

Yes Mindysgotswag! It is Def Leppard, 'Make Love Like A Man' ... I haven't heard them for years! I still have Hysteria on cassette!

"Answer me
Why won't you answer me
I can't recall the day that I last heard from you
Well you don't get a town like this for nothing
So here's what you've got to do
You work your way to the top of the world
Then you break your life in two".

[Mindysgotswag]

"Run". New Order, Future?

[Mindysgotswag]

Clouds are singing a song, marching along, just like they do.
If the clouds were playing a song, I'd play along, wouldn't you too?

[stareatthetvscreen]

run new order - i always thought it was tan not town

:)

[thefutureofpolitics]

Mindysgotswag and stareatthetvscreen, yes!!! And stareatthetvscreen, it is definitely 'tan', daft mistake!
Mindysgotswag, Panic! At the Disco 'Do You Know What I'm Seeing?'

"She wears denim wherever she goes
Says she's gonna get some records by the Status Quo
Oh yeah, oh yeah".

[thefutureofpolitics]

Just one more because I was listening to this album and love these lyrics!

"High above the wrecks
On ice shelves and glaciers
I spy below the mess
And measure the pressure
Where sofas float on roads
And somebody stole your guns".

[Mindysgotswag]

Future - Teenage Fanclub, The Concept

[Mindysgotswag]

Grandaddy, Hewlett's Daughter?

[Mindysgotswag]

It can seem like a someiyoshino; a cherry blossom petal, that dances sadly.
The stain is the moon that's fulfilled, and the vomiting at night begins.

[thefutureofpolitics]

Mindysgotswag Both right!!! I'm Sorry but I'm really lost with that one! New listening though!

"Things are getting just too too cozy for me
And I see people as they see me
Gonna break away and gain control
You free your mind, you free your soul"

[Mindysgotswag]

Lol. Will leave it for someone else!

I believe it's......Away from the Numbers - The Jam?

[Mindysgotswag]

How about this one...

But there's better ways to make ends meet
Than shuffling through life, dead on your feet
But here we are, there they stay
With their very small handouts in a very big way


Love this era!

[thefutureofpolitics]

Mindysgotswag Haha! Yes, right! Yay, The Style Council 'I Was A Dole Dad's Toy Boy'! I love that era too, The Style Council are always so overlooked

"There's a crack up in the ceiling,
And the kitchen sink is leaking,
Out of work and got no money,
A Sunday joint of bread and honey.
What are we living for?"

[Mindysgotswag]

Dead End Street - The Kinks.

Anyone guessed mine yet??

Looks like its just you and me Future! Cheers!

[thefutureofpolitics]

Yes, right! Haha, no, I think that one must have scared everybody off! Oh well, like you say, just you and me, cheers!

"Well, a hippy-trippy name dropper came through my door
He said, I just bumped into Mick, he told me
You know where to score, no not me, friend
I mind my own and my own minds me".

[Mindysgotswag]

Small Faces - The Universal

[thefutureofpolitics]

Yep!

"Life goes on here
Day after day
I don't know if I'm living or if I'm supposed to be
Sometimes my life is so eerie
And if you think I'm happy paint me (white) (yellow)"

[Mindysgotswag]

Love - The Red Telephone

[Mindysgotswag]

Her knight approaches us on foot
Left his side kick at the brook
He offered me a cigarette
I said I'm far to young to smoke
So he tried to entertain me
Told me one more crappy joke
In my ear except the joke wasn't clear

[thefutureofpolitics]

Yes Stereophonics 'Carrot Cake and Wine'!!! Love it!

"Anybody seen a knight pass this way
I saw him playing chess with Death yesterday
His crusade was a search for God and they say
It's been a along way to carry on"

[Mindysgotswag]

Scott Walker - The Seventh Seal

[Sadik]

"Be exactly who you want to be, do what you want to do
I am he and she is she but you're the only you
No one else has got your eyes, can see the things you see
It's up to you to change your life and my life's up to me"

and from the same song
"Systems just aren't made of bricks.
They're mostly made of people"

[Sadik]

Sorry, missed why I love them - just because they help me pull myself together if I'm feeling like life's a bit shit and inclining to blame others.
