At last I got round to it....

Enjoy (and as always -don't ask me for any help - I know nuffink!)

Here's the first 49 out of 200...

1 I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes
2 I'm a million different people from one day to the next
3 It's calling you my dear, out of reach
4 Let me get over you the way you've gotten over me too
5 Everything going jackanory, in touch with his own mortality
6 He wants to be like you man, he likes you more than I do
7 Mini skirts were in style when she danced down the aisle back in '63
8 You know we never get far driving around in a stolen police car
9 The love that I was giving you was never in doubt
10 I believe in Hollywood, don't believe that love must bring despair
11 In my dreams I'm dying all the time
12 You and me were meant to be walking free, in harmony
13 You can wait for a lifetime to spend your days in the sunshine
14 Pour my life into a paper cup. The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts
15 I'm losing, I'm bluesing, but you can save me from madness
16 We like our fun and we never fight. You can't dance and stay uptight
17 Don't ask me because I don't know why
18 As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I take a look at my life
19 You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry
20 There's things I want. There's things I think I want
21 You're the book that I kept open and now I've got to know much more
22 Feeling kinda groovy working on a movie (Yeah, right!)
23 Just like the prodigal son I've returned. Anyone stepping on me, you get burned
24 But if your mind's neglected, stumble you might fall
25 Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
26 We don't talk about love, we only want to get drunk
27 Well the truth may come in strange disguises. Send the message to your mind
28 We're the litter on the breeze, we're the lovers on the streets
29 Lying there dying in each other's arms "Oh" you said to me "Don't worry"
30 Tomorrow could be too easy and today is gonna be too near
31 Do you think I miss you? Do you think I care? Do you think I'd lay down and die?
32 Stepping through the door like a troubadour whiling just an hour away
33 Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
34 I had to crucify some brother today
35 If there was a problem, yo, I'd solve it. Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
36 So give me your heart, make it real or else forget about it
37 Mesdames, Messieurs, le disk-jockey est de retour
38 I'm moving like a train into some foreign land
39 Baby, how can we make love, if we can't make amends?
40 Did you ever stop to notice the crying earth, the weeping shore?
41 You can try to resist, try to hide from my kiss
42 And you know it ain't fiction just a natural fact
43 Right about now, the funk soul brother
44 I was right about the whales and dolphins, whales and dolphins
45 Sometimes the snow comes down in June, sometimes the sun goes round the moon
46 I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
47 She's into superstitions, black cats and voodoo dolls
48 I'm your hell, I'm your dream, I'm nothing in between
49 When I'm with you I am filled with emotion, can't you see that I'm giving you devotion?

Thanks again Lizzer - bloody song lyrics going around in my head all the time!! Have to admit I didn't know no 27, but heard it on the radio driving home from work, and almost crashed in the excitement - sad. Really nothing legendary here mollipops, just a sad 30 - something who would do much better on 80's stuff!! Roll out the Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet!
Not sure when Paula Abdul and vanilla Ice had hits, but no 4 is Anastacia - I'm Outta Love I think.
Thanks again Lizzer - must take you ages to type these out for our gratification. Will they be entered into a comp, or do you have the answers?.....or is that a secret?!!

Selja · 06/03/2002 19:57

Thanks Jodee for letting me know. I thought I saw a video the other day with the singer from SG in it and wondered whether they had split up. I knew I should have gone to Newcastle Arena to see them when I had the chance.

Ailsa · 06/03/2002 21:11

Selja

Darren Hayes from SG is on either sm:tv or cduk this coming Saturday, I'll be watching - beats housework!

Lizzer · 07/03/2002 12:17

Just a quick update apparently some of the lyrics are from songs in 2000-01, so official '90's lyrics' title a bit out of whack - I will post the answers at the end. I think there's 225 of them or so! Glad you are enjoying so far...

OP posts:
mollipops · 08/03/2002 06:48

I haven't had much time to look at these new ones (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! ) but I have number 87, Don't Speak by No Doubt (yes it's Gwen Stefani), and number 99 is Time of your Life by Green Day. umm...lizzer did you say 225??? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

Debby · 11/03/2002 10:32
  1. Mambo No 5 - by Bob the Builder (can't remember who did it originally!!!) 92). Babylon Zoo - Spaceman

Please, please please can someone tell me what no. 73 is??? It's been driving me and my sister mad all weekend! We can both sing the bit of the song that's here, but not the rest, to be able to tell what the song is.... Help!!!!

Enid · 11/03/2002 10:46

No 73 is that 'Baby I'm ready to go' song, can't remember who sang it...but they used it on loads of sports coverage OVER and OVER again.....

Debby · 11/03/2002 11:41

Thanks so much Enid - it's come to me now - Republica!!!!

Lizzer · 11/03/2002 23:22

Some more then....?

100 Run and tell all of the angels, this could take all night
101 When the rainy days are dying, gotta keep on, keep on trying
102 In a minute I'm needing to hold her. In an hour I'm cold, cold as stone
103 Watch this space. I'm open to falling from grace
104 Please understand if love ends, then I promise you, I promise you
105 But you are in my head, swimming forever in my head
106 I could put my arms around every boy I see
107 Step one, we can have lots of fun. Step two, there's so much we can do
108 It just keeps getting better. I want to spend the rest of my life with you by my side
109 And I have never felt this way since the day I gave your love away
110 When you coming home, dad? I don't know when, we'll get together then
111 Your skin. Oh yeah your skin and bones turn into something beautiful
112 Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup
113 Cajun queen with another side, she was a schoolboy's dream
114 Still I can't let you go. It's unnatural. You belong to me, I belong to you
115 You got me wrapped around your finger
116 Lift your open hand, strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
117 I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
118 Shake your head to the sound, put your hands on the ground
119 I was lying on the grass of Sunday morning of last week, indulging in my self-defeat
120 Show me how you want it to be. Tell me baby 'cause I need to know now
121 You gotta rub me the right way if you wanna be with me
122 Those tenements are memories of where you've risen from
123 Read it in the papers tell me what it's all about
124 I'll show you mine if you show me yours
125 I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
126 Allow, if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive
127 I'm cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor
128 Try givin' up the make up, try givin' up the dressin' up
129 You could be so many people, if you make that break for freedom
130 So let's do it like they do on the Discovery channel
131 There were days when the sun was so cruel that all the tears turned to dust
132 I blame you for the moonlit sky and the dream that died with the eagle's flight
133 The more I know, the less I understand
134 I'm in heaven with my boyfriend, my laughing boyfriend
135 At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
136 And that's what takes me high, higher than I've ever been before
137 There are hills and mountains between us, always something to get over
138 And now every mother can choose the colour of her child. That's not nature's way
139 I'm the one to take you on, don't underestimate me boy, I'll make you sorry you were born
140 You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
141 The chills that you spill up my back keep me filled with satisfaction when we're done
142 And all the men are gargoyles dipped long in Irish stout
143 Too many protest singers, not enough protest songs
144 Move out of my way, I know you're feeling me 'coz you like it like this
145 The embers never fade in your city by the lake
146 Now don't go wasting my precious time. Get your act together, we could be just fine
147 I took her to a supermarket
148 Like a moth to a flame, burned by the fire. My love is blind, can't you see my desire?
149 Give up yourself unto the moment, let's make this moment last
