Lyrics you love - a guessing game

475 replies

MrsGuyGarvey · 11/02/2015 21:03

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.

Oops, I really should have waited for yours but had that one planned! Grin

That is Stone Sour 'Peckinpah'! Love the choice!

I get to think about what might've been
And what may yet come true
And I get to pass the rainy miles
Thinking of you

Kiss them for me - Souxsie and the Banshees

Mindysgotswag · 12/10/2015 02:06

I wanna taste love and pain
I wanna feel pride and shame
I don't wanna take my time
Don't wanna waste one line

thefutureofpolitics · 12/10/2015 11:39

Yes, right! And yours is The Struts 'Could Have Been Me' Smile

Something random. Hint: Glam rock and Morrissey endorsed ...

"Who was that sneaking up the stairs
Taking a hairpin from her hair
A vision of the locks fallin' down
Crossed my mind and played with the sound
Of tapping gentle tapping ..."

Hushabyelullaby · 12/10/2015 12:18

Thefutureofpolitics, yep!!! My favourite song ever Smile

thefutureofpolitics · 12/10/2015 12:38

I love your taste in music, New Model Army are so underrated! Smile

I will leave you with this one and hopefully catch you later ...

"In your white lace
And your wedding bells
You look the picture
Of contented new wealth".

Redannie - another Billy Bragg New England lyric.

thefutureofpolitics · 12/10/2015 20:27

whattheseithakasmean Yes!!! Smile

How about some random 90s indie?

"Making red flares, solar boy
Living in a hollowed out asteroid, paranoid
Be on-looking, heavenly, a proto-revolutionary
Entering a chemists, she was looking for a sedative"

Kewpies Like Watermelons?

thefutureofpolitics · 13/10/2015 09:54

Yes!!! Urusei Yatsura 'Kewpies Like Watermelon'! Smile I loved that band so much!

thefutureofpolitics · 13/10/2015 10:37

Here's my first one for today ...

"Take a look where you're livin'
You got the army on the street
And the R.U.C dog of repression
Is barking at your feet"

Mindysgotswag · 14/10/2015 21:36

Stiff Little Fingers - Alternative Ulster, Future?Smile

BiscuitMillionaire · 14/10/2015 22:04

This band is seriously uncool but I've loved this song for years.

'Why sing a lonely song?
The whole world knows that love goes wrong
Why bruise a heart that isn't broken?
It isn't broken, it can't be broken

Life's just a show for free
Come along and watch with me
The only sins are words unspoken
Words unspoken, never spoken'

Mindysgotswag · 14/10/2015 22:33

Supertramp - Words Unspoken, Biscuit?

Mindysgotswag · 14/10/2015 22:38

But I kink it up
There's no flawless education just a stupid degree
The feeling of growing so far from myself
I can't reach, I can't reach, I can't reach
So brush it off, 'cause I wanted that
There's no dusting up
