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 Absolutely right! I'm listening to a lot of them at the moment, love that song!

Here's mine for today ...

"You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum
About a dose of thrush you got while you were licking railings
But you read in a book
That you got free in Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes".

Haha! Great lyrics!

Belle & Sebastian - Lazy Line Painter Jane

Haha, you can always rely on Belle and Sebastian for a classic!!! And right, of course!!!

"A tough kid who sometimes swallows nails
Raised on Prisoner's Aid
He killed a policeman when he was thirteen
And somehow that really impressed me
And it's written all over my face".

I want the one I can't have - The Smiths.

Back to them again, ey?

How about this...?

You made me feel less alone
you made me feel not quite so
deformed, uninformed and hunchback
Time takes all breath away

Haha, yes, back to them! So many amazing lyrics and right again, obviously! Yay, more Morrissey ... 'You Were Good in Your Time'!

How about ...

"You'll find me wandering alone on some far-off horizon
Wearing expressions like you've never seen on this face
The cars on the highway are backed up from bumper to bumper
It's a funny old world, it's a funny old human race".

Inspiral Carpets. Uniform?

YEEESSSSS!!!!! That was my listening yesterday! How about ...

"In Booming Britain, we all work together
To raise ourselves in the world
Each of us knows someone
Who has done well for themselves
So well for themselves
"Thank you," I said as I left
I'll be on my way, I see how it is"

The Manics - We are All Bourgeois now?

Here's mine for today...

Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I will never ask if you don't ever tell me
I know you well enough to know you never loved me

Yes, right!!! The Manics or the original version by McCarthy. And yours is Taking Back Sunday 'Cute Without the 'E''. This is mine for today ...

"Our own correspondent is sorry to tell
Of an uneasy time that all is not well
On the borders, there's movement
In the hills, there is trouble
Food is short, crime is double".

Chumbawamba. Reuters?

Wire 'Reuters' ... Chumbawamba might have covered it but don't know that version. How about? This is my current listening, by the way ...

"But you're not Judy Garland
Oh just like me you've never really had a home of your own
But I'm not Tony Hancock baby
Until the dawn
We'll stone the crows
We'll stone the crows"

You're my Waterloo - The Libertines?

Yayyyy! From my favourite album of the year! I started a Libertines thread by the way, if you fancy a look! ...

"From Westwood to Hollywood
The one thing that's understood
Is that you can't buy time
But you can sell your soul
And the closest thing to heaven is to rock and roll!"

aztec camera :) somewhere in my heart

sorry to gatecrash in

"Let kids learn communication
Instead of schools pushing competition
How about more art and theater instead of sports?

People will always do drugs
Let's legalize them
Crime drops when the mob can't price them
Budget's in the red?
Let's tax religion"

Talk about prescient...

stareatthetvscreen The more the merrier! It was indeed Aztec Camera 'Somewhere in my Heart'!

Doctor Two Dead Kennedys 'Stars and Stripes of Corruption'! Love the choice!

How about?

"High on the booze
In a tent
Paved with blood
Nine inch howl
Brave the night
Chopper comin' in, you hope".

R.E.M. Orange Crush?

Nice to have a few more on here. Was starting to feel like tennis!

Future -

Here's mine...

How a life can be changed
In the flicker of the sweetest smile
We were married in spring
You know I wouldn't change a thing

Haha, yeah, it is nice to see more people on here!

Yes, it was 'Orange Crush' by REM!

Jamie Lawson 'Wasn't Expecting That'?

Here's my next one ...

"The Indians send signals
From the rocks above the pass
The cowboys take positions
In the bushes and the grass"

Cool for Cats - Squeeze

Yep, it was Stars And Stripes Of Corruption.

How about:-

"I've got a wantless need
I've got a thoughtless mind
I've got a needless want
I can't unwind"

Easy peasy

' i got some groceries,some peanut butter,
to last a couple of days,
but, i ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones,
ain't got no records to play'

whattheseithakasmean Yes, right!!!

DoctorTwo Rollins Band 'What Have I Got'

stareatthetvscreen Talking Heads 'Life During Wartime' Tune!

"I am angry, I am ill and I'm as ugly as sin
My Irritability keeps me alive and kicking
I know the meaning of life, it doesn't help me a bit
I know beauty and I know a good thing when I see it".
