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

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,"

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,"

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

Down to the last seven folks.

Perhaps 10 is a little bit too obscure, I thought more people might know it.

All the rest of them are Top 40 hits, two of them within in the last three years.

Well done!


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

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

Down to the last two, both top 40 hits.

18 is Starlight, but I would never be able to tell you the artist if I sat here for the rest of my life. I'm off to Google it else it will haunt me all day and I have to go to work.

Another dreary day, another quiz...

1.) "Love doesn't come in a minute, sometimes it doesn't come at all,"

2.) "You act as if you just don't care, you look as if you're going somewhere,"

3.) "And every day is like Christmas Day without you, its cold and there's nothing to do,"

4.) "Wish everybody would leave me alone, yeah. They're always calling on my telephone,"

5.) "I never thought I'd miss you, half as much as I do,"

6.) "I'm tired of playing on the team, it seems I don't get time out anymore,"

7.) "What in the world can make a brown eyed girl turn blue? When everything I'll ever do, I'll do for you,"

8.) "Well, there she sits buddy, gleaming in the sun,"

9.) "It was in another lifetime, one of toil and blood. When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud,"

10.) "Can't sleep, beds on fire. Don't touch me, I'm a real live wire,"

11.) "I was a butcher cutting up meat, my hands were bloody, I was dying on my feet,"

12.) "She smiles but thats cruel. If you knew what she thinks, if you knew what she was after,"

13.) "Maybe there's a way not make it hurt, to cover up the words like you covered up the dirt,"

14.) "Eye to eye, stand winners and losers. Hurt by envy, cut by grief,"

15.) "I roll the top down, sometimes I travel quite far. I drive to the ocean and stare up at the stars. I like driving in my car,"

16.) "I check the time, its almost time. A curious smell, a casual crime,"

17.) "And I know I was wrong when I when said it was true,"

18.) "I can take the afternoon but night time comes around too soon, you can't know what you mean to me,"

19.) "I sat on the roof and watched the day go by,"

20.) "I hear ringing in the air, so I answer the phone, a voice comes over clear,"

Hopefully a bit easier this week, mainly 70's, 80's and a couple of 90's. & as this is PH, I expect 14.) to be the first one guessed.

Enjoy! wavey
