Lyric game

OK then...

We have assembled inside

This ancient and insane theatre

To propogate our lust for life

And flee the swarming wisdom of the streets

[Atila Reincarnate]

By one of fav bands The Doors An American Prayer

[jaybee82]

That or Ghost Song...correct though.

[Atila Reincarnate]

The eyes of night march slowly by

The last grain falls

The kneeling man just sighs

Try this one for size, taken from the lyrics of a song on one of the first albums I ever bought when I was a mere 11 years old.

After the day - Barclay James Harvest?

Fooking hell that was quick, yes you are right.

[legalbeagle]

One of those ones where you either know it or you'd never get it in a million years! How about:

"There was a bright light

A shattering of shop windows

The bomb in the baby carriage

Was wired to the radio"

[Timster]

Paul Simon - and I think Graceland, at least off that album.

I'm new to this - I did think I had to own a Mott the Hoople album to join in.

[legalbeagle]

Artist and album right but wrong song. I don't know the rules though, are we allowed to let you off? Or do you have to guess again?!

[Timster]

Boy in the Bubble?

[legalbeagle]

Correct! Over to you, and no MTH. I don't own one of their albums either!

[Timster]

okay, from the same era - as is obvious from the geo-political references..

Holidays are dirt-cheap in the Costa del Malvinas

In the Hotel Argentina they can hardly tell between us

For Teresa is a waitress though she's now known as Juanita

In a tango bar in Stanley or in Puerto Margarita

[Atila Reincarnate]

Elvis Costello - Tokyo Storm Warning

[Timster]

yessir

[Atila Reincarnate]

Where they don?t care how much money you got

As long as you?re havin? fun

[Atila Reincarnate]

Does nobody fancy having a wild guess then?

[HonaloochieB]

Although it sounds like it might be it isn't Wham's Club Tropicana.

Just to clear that up.

[Jah Lush]

Or is it Hotel California by the Eagles?

[bigbadwolf]

Sounds like a Butlins ad to me.

[jaybee82]

Beach Boys?

[giggirl]

Clash?

Happy Mondays

Edwyn Star

Elvis Costello

Blur

or something else?

[red devil]

Duran Duran?

[giggirl]

OK it's not my turn (obviously) but I'm posting out of desperation. I've been singing a Stones song all morning and I wish I knew what it was so I could play it and just get it OUT OF MY HEAD.

Here's what I'm singing, but it's probably wrong

Honey is there any place that you would like to meet

I know a coffee shop down on 52d street

And I don't need no fancy food and I don't need no fancy wine

La la la la la la......

Till the next time we meet again

La la la la la

JAH - WHERE ARE YOU?

IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS

[Jah Lush]

Hi GG, great song that and it's called Till The Next Goodbye and it's on the It's Only Rock N' Roll album, track four I think.

till the next time that we say goodbye

till the next time that we kiss goodnight

I'll be thinking of you.
