Correct! Your turn.

From the start it, so butter and brown and tantalizing
You woulda thought I needed help from this feeling that I felt

Oops Oh My by Tweet?

Correct.

Waking up at twelve in my clothes again
Feel my head explode from a night of gin
Another night out late

Feeder - just a day

Yep. Great song.

Impatient Jackass softball to keep the thread going: There goes the siren that warns of the air raid

Aces High by Iron Maiden

Yes. Bonus points for naming two nordic death metal bands who have covered it. :p

I don't know them because I don't like death metal but as a wild guess I would say At The Gates. IIRC they are the ones who butchered Manowar's "Blood of my enemies", so perhaps they did the same with Iron Maiden as well. :D

Let's continue with a classic:

Don’t come running to me,
I know I’ve done all I can
A hard loving woman like you
Just makes a hard loving man

Whitesnake - Fool For Your Loving

Kind of late, but would arch emeny be one of them? IDK if they are nordic or not, but its worth a guess.

Correct Baldrak, your turn.

Ain't no fairy story

Whole Lotta Rosie by AC/DC

Correct!

I already thought it would be a bit easy...

It doesn't matter
If you're wrong or if you're right
It makes no difference
If you're black or if you're white

At the risk of looking stupid - Michael jackson's 'Black or White'?

Thin Lizzy - Out in the Fields

Best quote I ever heard from Thin Lizzy was:
"What does it feel like to be black and Irish?"
"Like a pint of Guiness."

Anyway, new quote:

Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they will see what will be, blinded eyes to see

Actually "Out in the fields" is a Gary Moore's song, but many people think that it belongs to Thin Lizzy because Lynnot was one of the composers and had done the lead vocals of the song. Anyway nevermind.
As for your quote "For whom the bell tolls" by Metallica.

You’re wishing that the hands of doom
Could take your mind away
And you don’t care if you don’t see again
The light of day

Time for a hint i'd say) If noone responds to lyrics within one day can i post new lyrics?

I can't believe that I have to give a hint for this one but it seems that I'm an old and lonely headbanger :( . Ozzy was their frontman and the title of this song contains the last word of the band's name.

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath?

Correct.

Schveeet. Here we go.

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

Please shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

There's a club, if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home
And you cry
And you want to die

When you say it's gonna happen now,
Well, when exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone

I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

The Smiths - How soon is now (I think that's the title ????)

Correct-o-mundo.

Sorry for the delay, I was deposing someone all day:


Allow me to forget the life I've made my own,

I've held this nation in my hand, and yet it's not my home,

Oh, allow me just one answer, and one reason why,

Why this refugee of the family of man must die,
Tell me why

I know the answer, but it was my dad that helped me... :rolleyes:

Should I post it anyway? :p

Well, I think other people have had help, so just as long as you didn't do an internet search, I guess it's OK.

As the poster of the lyrics, I don't care as long as your dad didn't have to do an internet search to find the song.


Edit:

Well, given that Vyndin seems to have disappeared, I'll give a hint. I had this album on 8-track tape (so that will give the era) and the band is named after a city or state in the US. As an added hint, a line from the #1 hit song on the album (not the song that I quoted) was quoted in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

[ March 11, 2004, 07:56: Message edited by: dmc ]

Well, I'm posting mainly to bump this. I was pretty sure I knew the band (but not the song) after dmc's hint, but I had to do a search to verify it. I was right on the band, but didn't recognise the song. Doesn't count, of course.

OK. Too esoteric and old for this crowd.

Closet Chronicles by Kansas on the Point of Know Return album. (The quoted song in Bill & Ted was Dust in the Wind.)


Here's something more recent:

"Even though he now takes it in the behind."

Strikes me as something from Queen. You never know about that Freddy Mercury...

sublime date rape?

Correct, Sublime it is.

Sorry for disappearing. Posted and waited for a few hours, then my brother "needed" the computer... :almostmad:

dmc, when I said "time to maybe let some others play", I meant someone other than us. :p But on the other hand, who cares about the rest of 'em. :p :D

But since you're right, and since you've turned it back to me:

As I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was on my watch
And I said...

Chicago - Does anyone really know what time it is?

I had to ask mum and dad this one. I really don't know a lot of chicago music, but they have a couple of albums.

Does this end the oldie streak?

The gold road's sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
The pack on my back is aching
The straps seem to cut me like a knife

fools gold...pretty sure the stone roses.

"So calm your fears
And you'll get out of it
Just hang on"

@ Baezlebub:
Does this end the oldie streak? Only until dmc gets back on Monday. :p Although Radiohead isn't exactly an "oldie". :D

As to the current quote, I have no idea.

Sorry, forgot about this post. Yes, you were right. (also an excuse to bump)

I think it's Blind Melon - No Rain

Splunge - you're right. What are you doing knowing lyrics from songs after the 80's? :D :D

Well, if you've read my first post in the Boys and Girls thread in the Alley, you'll know that I don't act my age. :D Actually, one of my favorite radio stations is the local university station, where they play mostly current music (I like the music, but I couldn't really name any of the musicians they play :D ). Ironically, we have two classic rock stations that I rarely listen to.

Anyway, back to the game; here's something really current :p :

Arghh! I'm pretty sure the song is On Broadway, but the only version I can think of is by Geoge Benson, although I'm almost certain he wasn't the original performer.

Okay, it is On Broadway, only the lyrics are by Young Neil... But that's fine since myself, I only know it from All That Jazz ! :D

Go ahead Splunge!

Well, if it's good enough foryou, it's good enough for me. :D

Buck-0-nine "I'm the man"

Like I said in another thread, I've recently got some sense and stopped listening to rap crap so the past few months have been a breath of fresh air for me, so don't get mad if this is an obscure lyric.

And she tried everyday
With endless drive
To make the grade
Then one day
She woke up to find
The perfect girl
Had lost her mind

I have no idea who Buck-O-nine is, but I did a search and they did indeed perform the song. I was actually thinking of the original written by Joe Jackson, but I'll accept casey's answer.

And I don't know about the lyrics he's quoted.

Like I said a lot of the ones mentioned I've never heard of myself but it is a song from progressive metal band, though I'm not sure if this is a universally recognized category, so here is the full song.

She can't stop pacing
She never felt so alive
Her thoughts are racing
Set on overdrive

It takes a village
This she knows is true
They're expecting her
And she's got work to do

He helplessly stands by
It's meaningless to try
As he rubs his red-rimmed eyes
He says I've never seen her get this bad

Even though she seems so high
He knows that she can't fly
And when she falls out of the sky
He'll be standing by

She was raised in a small midwestern town
By a charming and eccentric loving father
She was praised as the perfect teenage girl
And everyone thought highly of her

And she tried everyday
With endless drive
To make the grade
Then one day
She woke up to find
The perfect girl
Had lost her mind

Once barely taking a break
Now she sleeps the days away

She helplessly stands by
It's meaningless to try
All she wants to do is cry
No one ever knew she was so sad

Cause even though she gets so high
And thinks that she can fly
She will fall out of the sky
But in the face of misery
She found hopefulness
Feeling better
She had weathered
This depression

Much to her advantage
She resumed her frantic pace
Boundless power
Midnight hour
She enjoyed the race

And also I'm not sure but they seem to be a mostly European band, but if I get it here in Australia (the last place to get anything music related) then you can probably get it anywhere

Ok this is probably too obscure so I'll try another one.

(the anti-Americans of this board will probably like this one)

Only in America
We're slaves to be free
Only in America we kill the unborn

Church bells ringing
Pass the plate around
The choir is singing
As their leader falls to the ground

[ March 31, 2004, 19:10: Message edited by: casey ]

Based on the refrain, I'd guess that it's called In America. I have a vague recollection of hearing the song, but, as I certainly don't have the CD that it's on, I need to take a stab at the band.

Based on the lyrics, I'd imagine that it's a band with religious convictions, so I'd either guess early U2 when three of the four were seriously into religion or Creed. If you want to discount it because I guessed two bands, I won't be offended. (Of course, it probably doesn't matter as I'm probably wrong.)

It is Creed, go

Sorry for the wait, I seem to be having Internet problems so I've had to use a new account, and my goddamned F****** post count is ****ing reset :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :flaming:

But yes you ar right it is Creed, good guess :D

Casey

There's a place I like to hide,
A doorway that I run through in the night,
Relax child, you were there,
But only didn't realize it and you were scared

I'm taking two guesses here - I think it's Silent Lucidity, and if it is, then I think the band is Queensryche. Not sure about either answer, though.

Right on both.

Okie dokie, then. :)

Edit: I don't know what the hell happened, but the lyrics originally posted were not the lyrics I thought I posted (my apologies). Anyway, this what I wanted to post:

I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my choice

Proclaimers - I think it's called I'm Gonna Be but I've also heard it referred to as 500 miles

I've always known it as 500 Miles. (and now it's stuck in my head...)

On the CD back cover, it's "I'm Gonna Be", but in the lyrics booklet, it's "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)".

Anyway, dmc is up.

He stood before the union, and he made a solemn oath.

He worked nights at the liquor mart, and he drank to pad his pay.

Close enough. The title of the song is "We're an american band" and the name of the band in the beginning was Grand Funk Railroad and later they changed it to Grand Funk. Your turn.

In the Air Tonight and I think it's Phil Collins, but it might be Peter Gabriel. Collins so blatantly copies how Peter Gabriel sings both while in Genesis and after that I always confuse the two. Still I think I'll go with Collins on this one.

Phil Collins it is. Although I never really thought he sounded all that similar to Gabriel.

Anyway, you're up.

You never noticed a similarity? Half the time I can't tell if it's Collins or Gabriel singing when a Genesis song comes on.

I won't need this,
Electric folding bed,
I can loose these,
Tiny billcuffs now,



A hospital song... ;)

Hint, please.

Ummm, okay : the leg is Montana (the state).
So it's in a state song (hint, hint)...

Hmmm, I guess I am the only one to listen to that stuff :rolleyes:

State Songs is Linnell, although I don't really know them that well.

Yup. Montana's a leg according to Johnny ;) .

Go!

All this time to make amends
What do you do when all your enemies are friends
Now and then I'll try to bend
Under pressure wind up snapping in the end


Edit: Lady Luthien - It's "pill cups" not "billcuffs"

Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench

Right. Go.

Let's see if I can choose a song that hasn't been chosen yet.....

First we'd climb a tree
and maybe then we'd talk
or sit silently
and listen to our thoughts
with illusions of someday
casting a golden light
no dresss rehersal,
this is our life.

I suspect only a Canadian will get this one. Now if only one would show up.

Wait! Found one! :D

Tragically Hip - Ahead by a Century

It’s just another *** ***
I wish it was sunday
’cause that’s my funday
My I don’t have to runday
It’s just another *** ***

"Manic monday" by Bangles

Yep. Go.

See me ride out of the sunset
On your colour TV screen
Out for all that I can get
If you know what I mean

AC/DC - TNT

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.

R.E.M- everybody hurts

Here I come again now baby
like a dog in heat
Tell it's me by the clamour now baby
I like to tear up the street

Ted Nugent - Stranglehold


If you keep listening you can hear it for miles...
God, I trust everyone quicker with every faint smile!

Definitely time for a hint.

I think it's Deftones, but I don't have any of their CDs and cannot for the life of me think of the song. They never were my favorite and I only got this far by conferring with a buddy, who also thinks it's them. Are we right?

hexagram

I will go ahead I suppose

I’ll send an s.o.s. to the world
I’ll send an s.o.s. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life but
Love can break your heart
I’ll send an s.o.s. to the world
I’ll send an s.o.s. to the world

Hard one

Hard one Not! :p

Police - Message in a Bottle.

And the world, the world turns around
And the world and the world, the world drags me down

The Cult

She Sells Sanctuary


Oh, how could his parents have lied?
When they said he was an only son,
he thought he was the only one.

I know the song. I think it's called Lonely Boy. Don't remember the artist though.

Dude! I was expecting you and maybe one or two other fossils might remember it. I really liked it when I was a kid. I'm going to hold out on you on the artist though, so it will drive you crazy for a while. I'll tell you tomorrow.


Edit: Andrew Gold was his name. You're up Splunge by virtue of getting the name of the song right.

Well, even though you told us the name, I still don't recognise it. He might have been a one hit wonder.

Oh well, carrying on:

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small

White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane

Correct. Your turn.

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helping hand

Rod Stewart, "Maggie May" I think is the title.

Ever notice that Rod looks like a living Dr. Seuss character?

I'm not familiar with Dr. Seuss, so I wouldn't know.

But it was correct :thumb:

Here's an easy one, with a twist...

I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right

Easy, yes. But what's the twist?

The Who - Teenage Wasteland

It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair

The twist is the name of the song isn't "Teenage Wasteland", although those are the lyrics and that's what everyone calls it.

Well, I just did a Google search, and even though the first page of results all came back with Teenage Wasteland, the second page showed something else (and I have never heard it called that).

However, I stand corrected, withdraw my lyrics, and wait for someone else to post the correct answer.

Note to self: wait for confirmation before posting new lyrics.

It has popularly been called "Teenage Wasteland" and has been called it on some later Pete Townshend tribute stuff, but the Who have never called it "Teenage Wasteland". It was first released on the album "Who's Next" if you want to look it up.

Its name is Baba o Riely..cmon.. :p

"Constrict your hands around me,
squeeze till I cannot breathe,
this air tastes dead inside me,
contribute to our plague."

Hmmm...not sure, but I think it was by the Osmonds. ;)

time for hint im guessing
new band, logo is A7X

[ April 23, 2004, 23:08: Message edited by: Icingdeath45 ]

It's definitely time for a new hint (or a new set of lyrics).

Waking the Fallen, but I can't remember the artist.

I still don't have a clue, even with the name of the song! :o .

I liked Splunge's lyrics better...those I knew!

[edit] I did a google, so I have a name of a band, but I still have never heard of them. Should we keep waiting to see if someone knows? I don't usually play here...is it title and artist as a criteria?

Yes, title and artist (without doing a search). Generally we should wait, but to keep the game moving, I'll re-submit my lyrics, and let HS (or someone else) give the answer.

It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair

The Cars, "Just What I Needed"

Yup! Your turn.

Talkin' 'bout a girl that looks quite like you.
She didn't have the time to wait in the queue.
She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle

"Badge" by Cream.

You got it BOC.

I'm deep in action on a secret mission
Contact's broken down
Time drags by, I'm above suspicion
There's a voice on the telephone

Philby by Rory Gallagher

Correct.

@Erubus it was unholy confessions by Avenged Sevenfold. Cd was Waking the Fallen

(whoops, I never bothered to learn song titles or artistes, just the melody and lyrics)

let the hours run
you were moving on
and i sit and wonder
falling under

Except for the first line, the rest sounds like shinobi vs. dragon ninja by Lostprophets. The lyrics sound more like "maybe I was wrong" than "let the hours run" to me anyway.

ya you got it right avarahtar

Yep correct.

There's a bluebird at my window
I can't hear the songs he sings
All the jewels in Heaven
They don't look the same to me
I just wade the tides that turned
Till I learn to leave the past behind

Beck - Guess i'm doing fine

Sorry about the long response time, had an exam yesterday that didn't go so well....

Anyway, you're correct.

You should know better, and so should I
That rapid tongue brings out my evil eye
So, here we are now, it's like a curse
