I don't know where I'm going
But I sure know where I've been....

Oooops - got caught in the middle of the thread there. Thought I was at the end of it. Oh, just get on with it.......Ignore this post.

The Living Years. Was it Eric Clapton?
If not please don't laugh - I have a very bad memory for titles and artists :oops:


Ummm....
How about a hard one.

"There's one too many two too many holes
they're getting bigger

Liberty Song - The Levellers

Had to cheat though.

Here goes.......
A British Rail poster said have an away day,
A cheap holiday...
Do it today....

come on you know this one

The Jam - Down in the Tube Station at Midnight.

And how about:

Man paints a picture,
A moving picture,
Through light projected he can see himself up close.

Lemon by U2, I think, but that is 'a man makes a picture' not 'paints', so am I right??

Next one:

How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

It's "The Voice", isn't it? Dunno who by.

And yes, on the "lemon" lyric correction. Apologies.

Alan Parsons Project. Asked my dad.

You're the voice is by John Farnham.

Its your turn!

Tricky one this...

Rollin' in my five point oh,
With the rag-top down so my hair can blow.
Girlies on standby....

will we have heard of it??!!

Google can't even give me an answer to that one.

I found it on google! But you got the lyrics wrong!

Its Rollin in my gray volvo!

You should visit www.kissthisguy.com

Ben Kweller BK baby

Its the first one I cheated on!
Won't do it again, I thought I'd try google since Sidla couldn't find it and I didn't think that possible, google is good! I put in the last line and it found it. It didn't find the first line as it's wrong! :D

Ok, lets try this one:

'Cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds

Is that Under the Bridge by the Chillis?

correct! A nice easy one I thought...your turn!

Erm, let me think.

Try this:
But lift your face the Western Way
Build your muscles as your body decays

Unfortunately not. You were INCORRECT.

The correct answer is "Ice Ice Baby" by the ubiquitous Vanilla Ice.

Here are the lyrics in full:

"Ice Ice Baby"
by Vanilla Ice
from "To the Extreme"
Yo, VIP, Let's kick it!
Ice Ice Baby
Ice Ice Baby
All right stop
Collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Then I flow that a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop?
Yo--I don't know
Turn off the lights and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle.
Dance
Bum rush the speaker that booms
I'm killin your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly, when I play a dope melody
Anything less that the best is a felony
Love it or leave it
You better gain way
You better hit bull's eye
The kid dont play
If there was a problem
Yo, I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
Ice Ice Baby Vanilla (4X)
Now that the party is jumping
With the bass kicked in, the Vegas are pumpin'
Quick to the point, to the point no faking
I'm cooking MC's like a pound of bacon
Burning them if they're not quick and nimble
I go crazy when I hear a cymbal
And a hi hat with a souped up tempo
I'm on a roll and it's time to go solo
Rollin in my 5.0
With my ragtop down so my hair can blow
The girlies on standby
Waving just to say HI
Did you stop?
No--I just drove by
Kept on pursuing to the next stop
I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block
That block was dead
Yo--so I continued to A1A Beachfront Ave.
Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis
Rockman lovers driving Lamborghinis
Jealous 'cause I'm out getting mine
Shay with a guage and Vanilla with a nine
Reading for the chumps on the wall
The Chumps are acting ill because they're so full of eight balls
Gunshots ranged out like a bell
I grabbed my nine--
All I heard were shells
Fallin on the concrete real fast
Jumped in my car, slammed on the gas
Bumper to bumper the avenue's packed
I'm tryin to get away before the jackers jacke
Police on the scene
You know what I mean
They passed me up, confronted all the dope fiends
If there was a problem
Yo, I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
Ice Ice Baby Vanilla (4X)
Take heed, 'caese I'm a lyrical poet
Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it
My town, that created all the bass sound
Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
'Cause my style's like a chemical spill
Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel
Conducted and formed
This is a hell of a concept
We make it hype and you want to step with this
Shay palays on the fade, slice it like a ninja
Cut like a razor blade so fast
Other DJ's say, "Damn"
If my rhyme was a drug
I'd sell it by the gram
Keep my composure when it's time to get loose
Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice
If there was a problem
Yo--I'll solve it!
Check out the hook while Deshay revolves it.
Ice Ice Baby Vanilla (4X)
Yo man--let's get out of here!
Word to your mother!
Ice Ice baby Too Cold
Ice Ice baby Too Cold Too cold (3X)

And I can't believe you owned up to your cheating!

Papa don't preach - Madonna or Kelly Osbourne

How about this

They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

And I can't believe you owned up to your cheating!

My apologies :D however, the song I quoted does credit the vanilla ice song! So I was half right. I guess I should have said vanilla ice!

I only cheated coz Sidla couldn't find it on google and I thought that strange, so I thought I'd give it go since no-one else had guessed it and I didn't know it! Curiosity got the better of me! Interestingly though, google didn't find vanilla ice when i typed in your lyrics but found the other version about the volvo! What does that say about Vanilla ice!!
In addition, there's vanilla ice using under pressure by queen/bowie then the other bloke (I think he's from Ben folds Five) uses vanilla ice's song! I think I may go off and record a song now featuring the lastest version! :D

No song to put here as it's not my turn!

Back on track

They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.


I am not having Josh Groben, who the hell is Josh Groben anyway, you are wright about the song, but who did the original? and who is the song about.

Answers on a postcard pleez

Don McLean did the original and Vincent Van Gogh is who the song is about I think !

Don McLean

Maybe it's because I'm only starting
That I think it won't take too long
Maybe it's because I can see you laughing
That I think you've got it wrong

Good Swedish Band that.

"Looking up to see her face,
sardines in her eyebrows
lobsters up and down her forehead,
and smelling very bad
and dangerous,
only a submarine could save her
and take her home to the navy
for some kind of ritual sacrifice"

[edit - can't spell sacrifice]

It's not Life is A Flower...

is it Ace of Base?
ok "Always have and always will" (needed to phone a friend that time :))

give up?
or don't care?

(and did i get the last one right?)

LOL... you were right!! I've been busy revising all day so only getting online at certain intervals and breaks!!

Mike and the Mechanics

Classic song, but who was the lead singer on this song.

Clue - Sheffield Lad.

Paul Carrack is the lead singer, mikey :)

With google and all the lyrics sites out there, isn't this all a bit easy, without getting into real obscurity....

go on then give us one Mike?

"Good evening parents, tonight I gonna take you on a tour, Club Bad
where all the bad kiddy’s go, try to leave there bodies, by various means of methods, anything necessary, some things that you quite be acustomed to,
so I think we’ll put each and everyone of you, with your own individual,
on the camera, so that you can take pictures of these bad little kiddy’s, doin’ these bad little things, for tomorrows paper, so whatabout your fifteen dollars and prepare to enter Club Bad
..."

Too diffiicult for me you Flash Git :D

Ironically, it's called "Flash", by Green Velvet :)

Yeah I did know, but only by searching on Google.

That was my attempt at humour.

Thought that's what you meant, but wasn't sure...... If I'd have put the "camera's ready, prepare to flash" bit in instead then I reckon anyone who was clubbing a few years back would have got it....Green Velvet, one of the strange men of techno...

If I got Chloe's one right why is no one guessing my lyrics then, huh? huh?

Give us a clue then Phan :D

It's the crazy Frank Zappa I believe.....but I'm a dirty low down Google cheat too.

Yep,
"Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch" on the grammy award winning album "Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch".

"not even a witch ought to be caught at the bottom of America's spew infested waterways"

Do all swedes have very odd musical taste Phan or just you? "Sardines in her eyebrows, lobsters up and down her forehead" Is that a lyric or is that a Tate Gallery prize exhibit?

- sorry to bring up an old thread, only I read this and nearly choked over my jacket pot (from Fox's)

How about misheard lyrics, they were always fun

Like for instance the person who was singing "The reverend blue jeans" along with Neil Diamond.....

A new thread or can it stay in here?

Misheard lyrics is OK in my original thread LouiseB

How about
"Take a load of fanny/Take a load for free." The Weight by The Band

"Don't chew on me, baby" by the Human League,

"Shine on you crazy blind man" by Pink Floyd,

"The girl with colitis goes by" from "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"

"The ants are my friends/They're blowin' in the wind" by Bob Dylan.

ha ha ha marvellous
I dont know the first or third
but the other three are terrific

"Take your teeth out (you and I know...)" by Abba
"Let's have a quiet night in, with mother, by the fire side" by David Soul

I am old me, there must be some more modern ones

Did you mishear those or did someone tell you

the girl with colitis goes by .......that is just fab!!!

No I must confess, that there is a book full of them somewhere and someone told me these, then I got thinking there must be a web site, so I did a search
Check out
www.amiright.com

Excellent, now I shall have to go and read them all!!

preening....someone misheard this from the Beatles

"8 days Louise, I love you"

"I love my car, will never die" by the Beatles

Should I stop?

This is SO MUCH FUN

I am the Lord of the dance settee

Its back Guess the lyrics thread.

Heard this on the Radio 2 this morning.

And you know something's wrong
When the morning hurts your eyes
And the baby won't stop crying



any ideas? no googling now!!!

Mikey - I'll just say she's from Glasgow - and likes Bobbie Burns.

And, just to keep the thread rolling:

Standing in the town,
Looking at people counting their frowns,
Unhappy faces hurrying around

You got it Carlwarker- no idea on yours though

Look at my contribution on the 'Favourite 70s bands' thread for a clue.

Here'e another, while we're at it:

Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through


ps. my nomme de plume is Carlwarker - although it is a play on word sounds ie. one who walks on Carl Wark.

Another song I heard on the radio this morning

I can see that your head
Has been twisted and fed
With worthless foam from the mouth


...........

and

I've heard you say many times
That you're better than no one
And no one is better than you

Great lines eh

They are Mikey - but you've stumped me this time.

it is the wonderful Bob Dylan and "To Ramona"

An easy one for you

Sup up your beer and collect your fags
Theres a row going on down near slough

Wow - I missed out on a Dylan!

Well, it ain't treacle or marmalade.

Wentworth?

An easier one:

This garden universe vibrates complete.
Some may get a sound so sweet.
Vibrations reach on up to become light
And then through gamma, out of sight.

Tried to PM you carlwarker but you mailbox is full.


No idea on the lyrics.

Thats 'Eton Rifles', The Jam (although I think their version was a cover, I could be wrong though)

Beware.. I bear more grudges than lonely High Court judges...

Its a Morrissey lyric from 'The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get'. I had to search hard to find that answer. :)

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auborn hair
With amorous skin
And eyes of emerald green.

A few clues. Its a country song and the answer lies in the chorus. :)

Jolene by Dolly Parton

Making good use of the things that we find... things that the everyday folk leave behind

Wombles theme tune

My go!

I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
shadows of a man
a face through a window
crying in the night
a night goes into morning

Just another day
happy people pass my way
looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realised
how happy you made me

So we gotta make the most of our one night together when it's over you know, we'll both be so alone...

Rushing everywhere at such a speed
till they find there's no need.
Please don't wake me
no don't shake me
leave me where i am.

I'm only sleeping - The Beatles


Its all the same, only the names will change,
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night
Just to get back home

Bon Jovi - Dead Or Alive i beleive, but i may of got the title wrong. :)

Try this
The greed of man will be
far away from me
and my soul will be free

See, I dont know why I liked you so much
I gave you all, of my trust
I told you, I loved you, now thats all down the drain
Ya put me through pain, I wanna let u know how I feel

" white man came across the sea he brought us pain and misery, he killed our tribes, he killed our creed he took our gain for his own need. we fought him hard we fought him well out on planes we gave them hell.

run to the hills iron maiden:cool: :P :loopy: :thumbsup:

K see who can get this

I was swimmin’ in the carribean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin’ to talk to me koi koy

I think its kinda obscure but I bet loads of you get it :D

Pixies - Where is my mind?

"For millions of years mankind lived just like animals
Then something happened which unleashed the powers of our imagination"

keep talking- pink floyd thumbsup:

I'd just like to point out the format of the lyric thread for those of you who don't seem to get it.

If you answer the lyrics then you should also put in a new set of lyrics for someone to get, otherwise this thread goes nowhere.

Just me picking holes and whining really but i don't see how this can be not understood.

oooh that means i can put 2 up then:loopy:

Ok, this is an old thread, and there's probably a newer one, but I couldn't find it. Anyway..... guess the lyrics! Some from three of my favourites:

1) I keep falling over I keep passing out when I see a face like you.

2) I'm not gonna get too sentimental like those other sticky valentines
But I don't know if you are loving somebody, I only know it isn't mine.

3) In the back room there's a lamp that hangs over the pool table,
and when the fan is on it swings gently side to side,
there's a changing constellation of balls as we are playing,
I see Orion and say nothing, the only thing I can think of saying...

If anyone can get the last one (without Googling!) I'll eat my hat...

[EDIT - Oops, should this be in the 'Entertainment' section? I just posted in the section it was already in when I searched for it].

2) "Alison" by Elvis Costello.

I'll have to think about the other two - No. 3 kind of rings a bell

It is! If you got that without Googling I'm well impressed. Are you a fan?

Not really a fan. I think she is obviously talented and heard some of her stuff. I prefer something a little more like this:

But consider it shameless plugging.

Just listened to the clip of 'Vineyard'. It's very good. Reminds me a bit of Anastacia. I shall bookmark the page and listen to the rest. Why is it plugging?

PS. You've got to post a lyric seeing as you got the AniDiFranco one...

Martha redbone is a friend, that explains the shameless plugging.
