1.) I'm the kind of guy who laughs at funeral, can't understand what I mean? Well you soon will.

2.) I could leave but I won't go, though my heart might tell me so.

3.) Is the mailman jerking you around? Did he put your million dollar check in somebody elses box?

4.) I'm the fear addicted, the danger illustrated.

6.) We'll start over again, grow ourselves new skin.

7.) My manners are failing me, I'm left feeling ugly.

8.) But I ain't going out like some punk bh, get used to one stylio and I might switch.

9.) I can almost remember the funny faces, that time you told me you going to be marrying soon.

11.) She loves to laugh. She loves to sing. She does everything. She loves to move. She loves to groove. She loves the loving things.

14.) The storm is breaking or so it seems. Still too young to reason, too grown up to dream.

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

16.) Playin' hard, talking fast, making sure that he won't be the last.

17.) She's on her holiday, she's got a summer frock on, so just like an ice cream she's melting in the hot sun.

18.) Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice. & it lights up the night.

20.) You ask me where did I fall? I'll say I can't tell you when.
Good start smile

As promised last night on the other thread ;

1.) "I can't believe that you're alone in here, let me warm your hands against the cold,"

2.) "Was it something I said or done? That made him pack his bags up and run,"

3.) "I'm not the kinda of man who tends to socialise. I tend to lean on old familiar ways,"

4.) "Now we're going steady, been together several weeks,"

5.) "Too high, can't come down, my heads spinning round and round,"

6.) "I never knew time could pass so slow. I wish I never met you oh, then I could bear to let you go,"

7.) "You did what you did to me, now its history,"

8.) "And blind acceptance is a sign. Of stupid fools who stand in line,"

9.) "Maybe we'll leave come springtime? Meanwhile, have another beer. What would we do without all these jerks anyway? And besides all our friends are here,"

10.) "There's that look, in your eyes. I can read in your face that your feelings are driving you wild,"

11.) "All you left is our favourite song, the one we danced to all night long,"

12.) "I know I've gone too far, much too far I've gone this time. Don't want to think what I've done,"

13.) "Today I sleep in the chair by the window, it felt as if you'd returned,"

14.) "Last night they loved you, opening doors and pulling some strings,"

15.) "There's no profit in deceit, honest men know that revenge does not taste sweet,"

16.) "I can't change my mind, I knew all time, that she'd go. That's a choice I made long ago"

17.) "Will it hurt me baby? Will it hurt me baby? How can you have a day without a night?"

18.) "It was way past midnight and she still couldn't fall asleep. The dream was leaving she'd tried so hard to keep,"

19.) "You ask me if I'm happy here, no doubt about it. You ask me if my love is clear, want me to shout it?"

20.) "Then that time I went and said goodbye. Now I'm back and not ashamed to cry,"

Some clues:

One of them is an album track that you really should have IMHO.
One of them might have been alright then but now sounds very slightly dodgy.
Two of them are lyrics that I wanted to post in last nights thread.
Four are 80's one hit wondertastic.

As usual, no googling you naughty people.. smile

ANY-WAY, he says getting up a head of steam, from what I remember, I only said it vaguely reminded me of Comfortably Numb, I don't actually say it WAS Comfortably Numb. I am sending the boys round with the baseball bats.

Oh, and 14 is a Bowie song but I'm buggered if I can remember which one, and I've been listening to a lot of Bowie recently.
smile Oopps sorry to pick at that scab.. smile

You're right about 14.) but still need the title. I've been listening to a lot of The Dames work recently too.

A couple more have gone..

Surprised 11.) & 12.) haven't gone.

Hi.

Just looking back 16.) is a lttle bit of a cock up. I thought it was a hit in the UK but although it didn't chart here it reached number 4 in the States, so that one is particulary tough.

Clues might be needed so sorry about that, off back to slave over the Aga.

(shines light around, taps random song generator, fires up the coffee machine.)

Hello.

Its back.

1.) "I feel so dirty when they start talking cute. I wanna tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot,"

2.) "What's that on the railway line? Looks like my old brown shoe."

3.) "Jenny was sweet. She always smiled for the people she'd meet,"

4.) "I wandered out in the world for years, while you just stayed in your room,"

5.) "Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet?"

6.) "And I'm turning to the horoscope and looking for the funnies, when I feel someone watching me and so I raise my head,"

7.) "Every night, every day, just to be there in your arms,"

8.) "Clothes always fit you, life is a pop of a cherry,"

9.) "Bring your flowered hat, we'll follow the trail marked on your fathers map,"

10.) "So for a while we conducted experiments, in an apartment by the river road. And we found out that the two things we put together had a bad tendency to explode,"

11.) "Hold tight, wait til the party's over. Hold tight, we're in for nasty weather,"

12.) "Beat me up with your letters, your walk-out notes"

13.) "But skip the hearts and flowers, skip the ivory towers,"

14.) "You think you're such a psycho but you ain't so bad. Get what you want with looks like that,"

15.) "Help me out here all my words are falling short. And there's so much I wanna say,"

16.) "You let all my friends come over and meet. You were so strange. You didn't have the decency to change the sheets,"

17.) "You want a percentage but I'm the fool paying the dues,"

18.) "I never said I was a Stool Pigeon, never said I was diplomat. Everyone is under suspicion but you don't wanna hear about that,"

19.) "She's so pretty. Her hair is a mess. We all love her. To that we confess."

20.) "And the Sunday sunshine shines down on San Francisco Bay and you realise you can't make it anyway,"

Bit 80's centric but hey.

Enjoy.
