Usual Rules - no t'internet searching please

Answer should be band, name of song


1. Believing all the lies that their telling ya, buying all the products that their selling ya, they say jump and you say how high.

2. A flight of fancy on a windsept field

3. Caught between the twisted lines the faulty map, the plotted lines, that first bought columbus to New York

4. If I hadn't seen such riches I could live with being poor

5. Are we etched in stone or just scratched in the sand waiting for the waves to come and reclaim the land

6. Grandpas drunk a drop or two and his head's still stuck in the portaloo, What a Man !

7. please don't take it so badly, because the lord knows I'm to blame

8. Wake up you sleepy head, put on some clothes shake off your bed, put another log on the fire for me I'll make some breakfast and coffes

9. Get out your mat and pray to the west, I'll get out mine and pray for myself

10. lighting every match in an oversize box, letting each one burn down to his thick fingers.

5. Tightrope -Stone Roses

Not the best lyric in that song though.

"The boats in the harbour, slip from their chains, head for new horizons, lets do the same" is.

Favourite all time line I think.

Edites to say, it might be Ten storey love song, I always thought it was called tightrope boxedin
