I used to do these all the time awhile back and as its raining and generally miserable today, I thought I'd bring it back.

Slightly tougher though, not just chart hits this time (but hopefully) not too obscure.

1.) "Love, lust, fire at will! Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill!"

2.) "I think that people are the greatest fun,"

3.) "I got so tired of concluding that there's nothing for us to conclude,"

4.) "I ain't got no money. I'm not like those other guys you hang around,"

5.) "I could pick up the phone, I could dial any number, I could talk to anyone. I know I've gone to far this time, much too far I've gone this time, don't want to think what I've done."

6.) "I realise, in your eyes, I've been some kind of fool,"

7.) "Tonight I think I'll walk alone, I'll find my soul as I go home,"

8.) "A single random meeting with your eyes and I'm beaten,"

9.) "The mountain is high, the valley is low and you're confused on which way to go,"

10.) "I've walked upon the moors, on many mis-guided tours, where Emily and Charlotte tore their hearts out,"

11.) "Misery loves company but she will never pay the bill,"

12.) "I remember you by, thunder clap in the sky, lightning flash, tempers flare, round the Horn, if you dare,"

13.) "He has a future in British Steel,"

14.) "Even as I wander, I'm keeping you in sight. You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winters night,"

15.) "Can't see you that this all just a contest? The one that wins will be the one who hits the hardest,"

16.) "He's the kind of guy who thinks he's smart, he's the kind that always looks the part,"

17.) "Maybe we can make a deal, maybe together we can get somewhere,"

18.) "The time has come for me to be someone, a rich man, a superstar,"

19.) "Home from work, put the TV on, get your kicks watching Bruce on the old Generation Game,"

20.) "Ring, ring, ring goes the telephone, the lights are on but there's nobody home,"

There we go, some obvious, some (I think) fairly obscure.

No prizes (obv) but no cheating. If you google you won't get any real satisfaction in the result.

Enjoy!
