This is not a metal song and though its traditional, it has been covered by many pop artists from all over the world: "Sé do bheatha, a bhean ba léanmhar, do ba é ár gcreach tú bheith i ngéibheann, do dhúiche bhreá i seilbh méirleach, is tú díolta leis na Gallaibh" DarkStrider Thu, 11th May '06, 5:34pm I think I saw Sinead sing this a capella and it's (I thinK) You are Welcome Home? Cúchulainn Thu, 11th May '06, 7:20pm Correct! Over to DS DarkStrider Fri, 12th May '06, 10:55am Black brother in an open sports car pulled over by suspicious officer, uniform man got a nervous partner, weapon was pulled from a shoulder holster.

T2Bruno Mon, 15th May '06, 8:02pm Serious Disco here... :eek: (an embarrassing time in my life): It's Raining Men by The Weather Girls kuemper Mon, 15th May '06, 8:39pm There's nothing wrong with disco, man. :hippy: Halleluah, you're correct. T2Bruno Tue, 16th May '06, 2:57am For there's weak winged young sparrows that starve in the winter Broken young children on the wheels of the winners Hint time, a later line... From the end of the world to your town. [ May 16, 2006, 19:37: Message edited by: T2Bruno ] T2Bruno Thu, 18th May '06, 3:34pm So nobody knows Elton... that was the title song from the first album to ever debut as number one of the British Pop Albums chart. Perhaps this will be familiar to the true rock fans. As a hint, the singer is THE greatest female vocalist in rock history (and if you don't agree, you're wrong): But all I know is that she left you, And you swear that you just don’t know why, But you know, honey I’ll always, I’ll always be around if you ever want me Mesmero Thu, 18th May '06, 4:00pm I completely agree, but is she the original artist of this song? Janis Joplin - Cry Baby T2Bruno Thu, 18th May '06, 6:12pm Written by Bert Berns, originally sung by Garnet Mimms (although I did specify female, so that leaves Garnet out). Take it away Mesmero. Mesmero Fri, 19th May '06, 12:01am I turn around to look at you, you light a cigarette I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we’ve never met Splunge Fri, 19th May '06, 2:00am Bah! I don't even really like Tom Waits. But I don't know the title. Mesmero Fri, 19th May '06, 11:21pm Pretty impressive if you recognise the guy by these two lines if you don't like him. Since nobody was able to come up with the title by now (and I doubt someone will), I'll let you have the turn. The song was I hope I don't fall in love with you. My apologies to anyone who knew this and didn't have time to reply. Splunge Sat, 20th May '06, 12:32am Well, I didn't really earn this, but... No dark sarcasm in the classroom If this takes more than a couple of hours, I'll be very disappointed. :p Harbourboy Sat, 20th May '06, 12:59am I'll try not to disappoint you - your song quotes are the only ones I can get. I guess that this is Pink Floyd, with "Another Brick in the Wall". We don't need no education (to learn how to use correct grammar.) Splunge Sat, 20th May '06, 2:08am "Another Brick in the Wall - Part 2" to be exact. But close enough - your turn, HB. Harbourboy Sat, 20th May '06, 11:28pm Wahey. OK then: "Then they decided the marriage would be at the end of July. Everyone said they were crazy." kuemper Sun, 21st May '06, 2:25am Italian Restaurant - Billy Joel? I think that's the right title. :bad: Harbourboy Sun, 21st May '06, 3:05am Close enough, kuemper. "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" by Billy Joel. Your turn. kuemper Sun, 21st May '06, 2:41pm Yay for the old people! :banana: :geezer: Let me cover you in velvet kisses I'll create a look that's made for you Harbourboy Sun, 21st May '06, 8:51pm Oh boy - this thread is finally getting good. I think this is my 3rd favourite Madonna song, my top 3 being: 1. Cherish 2. Live to Tell 3. Dress you up kuemper Mon, 22nd May '06, 4:26am We have something in common, though this is my #1 favorite of Madonna's. Harbourboy Mon, 22nd May '06, 8:50pm Hmm, another turn? OK then... "If I listen close, I can hear the singers. Voices in your body, coming through on the radio." T2Bruno Mon, 22nd May '06, 8:54pm Union of the Snake Duran Duran Harbourboy Mon, 22nd May '06, 8:57pm They're easy when you know them, eh! Your turn, T2Bruno.

Mesmero Mon, 22nd May '06, 11:49pm Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing T2Bruno Tue, 23rd May '06, 12:04am Thank god you didn't mention Sting..... You're turn Mesmero. Mesmero Tue, 23rd May '06, 12:03pm I didn't even know he covered it; I'm not a huge Sting fan. It's actually one of my favorite Hendrix songs. It's early in the morning About a quarter till three I'm sitting here talking with my baby DarkStrider Tue, 23rd May '06, 12:52pm You may have tricked me here my first thought was Van Morrison/BB King "Early in the morning", but my second thought adn the one I'm sticking with is Otis Redding - Cigarettes and Coffee? Mesmero Tue, 23rd May '06, 1:04pm And your second thought is correct :thumb: DarkStrider Tue, 23rd May '06, 1:34pm now autumns they come and they go but my friends and my memories remain and my heroes, well some of them fell from the stage but their light still remains A little obscure possibly kuemper Tue, 23rd May '06, 1:39pm John Lennon's Guitar - James Barkley DarkStrider Tue, 23rd May '06, 3:07pm That's close enough to Barclay James Harvest, spot on with the song though, look a nice shiny balloon with a new stick.. kuemper Tue, 23rd May '06, 7:39pm Bah, I had most of his name right! My brain is working on all fronts (and backs) this morning! When the actor reaches his death You know it's not for real He just holds his breath DarkStrider Wed, 24th May '06, 10:34am Kate Bush - The man with the child in his eyes? kuemper Wed, 24th May '06, 4:56pm Right singer, wrong song. This one has a one word, exclamative title. T2Bruno Wed, 24th May '06, 4:59pm would that be 'wow'? kuemper Wed, 24th May '06, 7:56pm Wow, yes it would. Your turn. T2Bruno Wed, 24th May '06, 8:17pm Wait! I've got a better plan To catch this big red lobster man Let's pop him in a boiling pot And when he's done we'll butter him up (a while later in the song) Then Mr. Oogie Boogie Man Can take the whole thing over then He'll be so pleased, I do declare That he will cook him rare Edit: Showtunes!

T2Bruno Thu, 25th May '06, 11:11pm No, another verse: [title of the song] Throw him in a box Bury him for ninety years Then see if he talks Hint: one of the singers is Pee Wee. Ah, well, there are no fans of The Nightmare Before Christmas....

Undertaker Sat, 27th May '06, 11:29am I though only lyrics in English are allowed Elfen Lied Sat, 27th May '06, 12:00pm does it say that somewhere the second post of the first page has lyrics that arent in english kuemper Sat, 27th May '06, 2:04pm I never saw a notice of posting English only lyrics. :hmm: It's a Benetictine monk chant though. Undertaker Sat, 27th May '06, 2:06pm http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?/topic/21/342.html#000000 Elfen Lied Sun, 28th May '06, 2:08am i was just going with what other people had done, i saw the monk chant thing wasnt in english so i put the latin lyrics up thanks for the clarification link undertaker, that info isnt on this version of the game, maybe it should be, you know so this doesnt happen again Splunge Tue, 30th May '06, 2:37am IJ time. At an early age he hits the street And winds up tied with who he meets, And he's unemployed. His folks are overjoyed. T2Bruno Tue, 30th May '06, 2:56am The Cradle Will Rock -- Van Halen Splunge Tue, 30th May '06, 3:05am And this one, too. Edit: you need to read TV Show first in order for this to make sense.

Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) did. :love: I'll give it to you anyway because I don't think there are more than 5 die-hard Trekkies that post here. :alien: Elfen Lied Wed, 31st May '06, 10:25pm ok cool, um my song lyrics are 'on the dying souls of mankind On the tomb of this unknown soldier' pretty sure it shouldnt be that much of a challenge. I would have done the other lyrics i posted before but they were in latin so they dont count. but if anyone wants to try them as a bonus here they are again 'Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam, Et lingua eius loquetur indicium.' another bonus one is 'pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem. ' its a pity you cant have foreign languages, it would have made it a little harder (once again the first set of lyrics are the ones i have submitted for this game, the latin lyrics are bonuses, for anyone who might want to do them) Susipaisti Wed, 31st May '06, 11:16pm 'pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem. 'That's from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The monks who keep whacking themselves on the head chant it. No idea about the others. Elfen Lied Thu, 1st Jun '06, 12:03am actually it is a poem, they just use it in MP's holy grail, thanks for having a go at it, but the lyrics for this game are 'on the dying souls of mankind On the tomb of this unknown soldier' the latin lyrics were bonuses Aikanaro Thu, 1st Jun '06, 2:17pm That sounds like a *very* butchered version of The Carpenter by Nightwish to me... DarkStrider Thu, 1st Jun '06, 4:17pm I would guess that the latin is the Pie Jesu from the Requiem Mass, most probably Faure's Harbourboy Thu, 1st Jun '06, 9:37pm Or maybe the Hayley Westenra version!? Elfen Lied Thu, 1st Jun '06, 9:37pm Aikanaro your right, carpenter by nightwish, its the version i have the lyrics for somewhere. and yeh looks like everyone can get the 'Pie Jesu' one, no one's trying the other one? lol, i didnt think it would be that hard Undertaker Sat, 3rd Jun '06, 5:03pm Lol, time to hijack the thread :D After the battle is over And the sands drunken the blood All what there remains Is the bitterness of delusion The immortality of the gods Sits at their side As they leave the walls behind To reach the jewels gleam Cúchulainn Thu, 8th Jun '06, 2:11pm Circle of the Tyrants by Celtic Frost (the new album is simply fabulous!)

No idea about the song :p kuemper Sun, 11th Jun '06, 10:10pm Bah, it's Pet The Destroyer. Now I have to think of something. :aww: EDIT: About 95% sure I'm correct, so I'm posting the next lyrical clue: Some girls are sadistic, materialistic Lookin' for a man makes them opportunistic [ June 12, 2006, 03:56: Message edited by: kuemper ] Arabwel Mon, 12th Jun '06, 9:19am Why yes, you ARE right :D kuemper Tue, 13th Jun '06, 2:24pm Hint: 1990s rap song kuemper Thu, 15th Jun '06, 2:59pm *sigh* Young MC was hot with his hit, Bust A Move.

Avarahtar Wed, 28th Jun '06, 5:31am Guess not.... I suppose I'll just leave the board open then. Mesmero Thu, 29th Jun '06, 3:40pm Whoa, the board is open for 34 hours and not a single IJ came along... Oh well, I'll make it a softy: Bye bye baby it's been sweet love Though this feeling I can't change Please don't take it so badly Cause Lord knows I'm to blame T2Bruno Thu, 29th Jun '06, 4:00pm Freebird -- Lynyrd Skynyrd Mesmero Thu, 29th Jun '06, 5:20pm Are you seriously waiting for confirmation, or are you just trying to be polite? :p Proceed when ready, Mr Bruno.

Splunge Fri, 30th Jun '06, 2:21am DamnitDamnitDamnit!!! It's Rush, but I can't remember the title. It's from Signals. :grr: Edit: The Bell Tolls For Thee? I'm almost totally certain that's not right - this is a line from the song, but not it's title. Arrggg! dmc Fri, 30th Jun '06, 3:47am Hah! You missed the name of a Rush song Splunge. Shame on you. :nono: :D I knew me posting in this thread would drag you back from where ever it is that you disappear to. But, you're wrong. The title is not found in the lyrics, although it does describe the situation they portray. Avarahtar Fri, 30th Jun '06, 6:27am Ooohhh, It's Losing It.... and assuming I am right, I'll let someone else (ie. an IJ) post something since odds are I won't be sober enough to post anything with any significant meaning during the Canada Day weekend. dmc Fri, 30th Jun '06, 4:37pm It is Losing It.

Fleetwood Mac or Stevie Nicks. Errrrr. Got it! Stevie Nicks Leather and Lace. (Was that the one that Tom Petty sang on?) Splunge Sun, 2nd Jul '06, 8:27pm Got it! I certainly hope you don't mean you "got it" from doing a google search. :p Anyway, for the record (pun intended :p ), it was Don Henley from The Eagles, not Tom Petty. You're up, dmc. dmc Mon, 3rd Jul '06, 2:23am Nah, just a brain cramp that went away. I can't be bothered to google these, as someone will give the answer soon enough. Anyway, for this one, I want the original band, no covers: The price you pay for your riches and fame Was it all a strange game You´re a little insane T2Bruno Wed, 5th Jul '06, 2:33am I got pissed off in SQG6 when that song was quoted in a metal song and I was told I was wrong: Those exact lines come from an old Byrds song called (ironically enough) So You Want to be a Rock and Roll Star It's been covered by Tom Petty, Patti Smith and U2 (live anyway). Oh, yes -- for the metal head bunch -- Nazareth paid homage to The Byrds by putting the lines verbatim in one of their songs. But it's still The Byrds. dmc Wed, 5th Jul '06, 6:07pm Exactly. You're up T2Bruno. T2Bruno Wed, 5th Jul '06, 8:28pm History shows again and again How nature points out the folly of men dmc Wed, 5th Jul '06, 8:56pm Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult T2Bruno Wed, 5th Jul '06, 8:59pm Your turn dmc. dmc Thu, 6th Jul '06, 7:27am I miss you so, Seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone. Master of Nuhn Fri, 7th Jul '06, 4:02am Fort Minor - Where'd you go. Heard it on MTV a few times. Not my kind of music but it seems like to linger around in my head somehow. Harbourboy Fri, 7th Jul '06, 4:10am Never heard of him. Master of Nuhn Fri, 7th Jul '06, 4:13am He's a rapper of Linkin Park, my roommate told me. Harbourboy Fri, 7th Jul '06, 5:03am Never knew dmc was into rap. Word. Master of Nuhn Fri, 7th Jul '06, 5:15am :D That surprises me, too. Unless I'm wrong, about the song of course. He might as well be thinking of an other artist, the origional one. Rappers tend to be coverers, you know... dmc Fri, 7th Jul '06, 7:14am Nope, you're spot on MoN. I like some rap, as long as it's not gangsta (I loved the Sugar Hill Gang back in the day). I like about half of Linkin' Park's songs as well, so this is a natural extension. Master of Nuhn Fri, 7th Jul '06, 3:19pm Wow, revelations here. :p I got this song stuck in my head every time I hear it: Field mice, head lice, spider in the kitchen Don't think twice 'bout whatever keeps you itchin Edit: Mmh. I surely thought some of you would know this This singer/songwriter has a slightly 'raspy' voice. His lyrics tend to be a tad depressive but the music feels good. Song is about 6 years old now.

Seeing he got some some clips on MTV, a performance at Rock Werchter (Belgium), some nice performances in NY etc, I thought he was pretty big... This was Eels (http://www.eelstheband.com/biography/index.asp) with Flyswatter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVA59Jb8FAg) New one then... Softy, I guess: She is soft, she is warm, but my heart remains heavy And I watch as her breasts gently rise, gently fall Yet I know with the first light of dawn I'll be leaving And tonight will be all I have left to recall kuemper Sat, 8th Jul '06, 4:45pm Wednesday Morning - Simon and Garfunkel? :hmm: I think the title's wrong though. Master of Nuhn Sat, 8th Jul '06, 6:09pm Well, since the title is not in the lyrics, my opinion is that you're close enough. It was "Wednesday Morning, 3 AM" by Simon and Garfunkel, indeed. :thumb: Your turn, you slithering, 6-armed, bare-breasted demon! kuemper Sun, 9th Jul '06, 2:46am Being good isn't always easy No matter how hard I'd try When he started sweet-talkin' to me He'd come and tell me everything is all right Master of Nuhn Mon, 10th Jul '06, 8:19pm I know that Aretha Franklin sung Son of a Preacherman, but I doubt she was the first who did... Arabwel Mon, 10th Jul '06, 10:14pm It's by Dusty Springfield, originally. It was first offered to Franklin, who turned it down. she didnöt record it until it already became a hit :) kuemper Mon, 10th Jul '06, 11:06pm I didn't ask for the original artist because I know of it being recorded at least 5 times - Dusty Springfield, Bobby Gentry, Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin and The Foo Fighters. I can hear Dave Grohl right now... :mommy: Master gets to go next. Master of Nuhn Mon, 10th Jul '06, 11:37pm Well Thanks :) I can only come up with quotes that are somewhat unknown, though, (like Loudon Wainwright III's "Acid Song" etc) so I leave this one for Ara. Arabwel Tue, 11th Jul '06, 2:27am Aww, thanks MoN :) I don't care if you track me down Like an animal that's on the run Tie me down spread-eagle Leave me dyin' in the sun BOC Tue, 11th Jul '06, 5:17am Harder faster - W.A.S.P.

Splunge Sat, 15th Jul '06, 12:00am Rush - Tom Sawyer /hopes that dmc doesn't reply so that I can invoke the "automatically correct in 24 hours" rule. :p In other words - no idea. (But the rule still stands. :p ) dmc Sat, 15th Jul '06, 12:48am Ha, ha. I used Happy Birthday for such an IJ move once with success. Nope, wrong, not even close, not the right band, not the right era. Okay - hintage - band's name is a euphamism for "penises". Album was 1994. kuemper Sat, 15th Jul '06, 6:03am band's name is a euphamism for "penises".Would that be Swollen Members? I don't think they debuted an album until 2000. :hmm: dmc Sat, 15th Jul '06, 7:12am Nope. Clearly a stumper, and it was pretty popular here for a while. I'll post a new one tomorrow if no one gets it. Splunge Sat, 15th Jul '06, 5:40pm Happy Birthday by Meat Puppets? (Title - me being a smartass. Group - possibly.) dmc Sat, 15th Jul '06, 7:54pm Backwater by the Meat Puppets. Splunge gets it for being close enough. It was a pretty good song as well, and happened to be running through my computer/MP3's when I posted. Splunge Sat, 15th Jul '06, 8:14pm Well, that was unexpected. :) There was a king who ruled the land. His majesty was in command. With silver eyes the scarlet eagle Showers silver on the people. Somewhat topical. ;) dmc Sat, 15th Jul '06, 8:23pm Arrrgh. That's from one of the songs on Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Early Pink Floyd. Must dig that up and play it to figure out which song. Damn you Splunge! Splunge Sat, 15th Jul '06, 8:43pm Well, if you get the song title, then I'll know you cheated, since the title doesn't appear in the actual song. :p But since you gave me the last one on even less justification, I'll give it back to you. :) dmc Sat, 15th Jul '06, 9:40pm To my horror, the frickin' disc is missing! Now I must go and replace it. (As an aside -- when I know where the song is, I usually just play the disc song by song until I get the right one -- was there something weird about this where they didn't list the title of the song?) Anyway, Floyd related (sorta, kinda) -- Let's think about dreams We never seem to have the time Let's think about what it all means If you are a friend of mine Splunge Sun, 16th Jul '06, 12:14am No, the song is listed (Matilda Mother), but it's unlikely you'd get it by listening to the song, since Matilda Mother doesn't actually show up in the lyrics. Anywho, yours is Alan Parsons, but like most of his songs, I never know what it's called. dmc Sun, 16th Jul '06, 9:16pm If no one gets it by tomorrow, you can have it. Master of Nuhn Mon, 17th Jul '06, 12:24am Yup Alan Parsons Project. but like most of his songs, I never know what it's called.I just can't remember the album it's on. I Robot? Turn of a friendly card? And I miss these 2. It's on a compilation called Works, though. I do remember the name of the song. "Lets talk about me" (Some staccato there). Love this band. Been grown up with it and it always makes me think of my daddy :( and my brother. dmc Mon, 17th Jul '06, 5:13am MoN is up. Master of Nuhn Mon, 17th Jul '06, 5:52pm Guess this will be a softball: I used to like to go to work, but they shut it down. I got a right to go to work, but there's no work here to be found. Yes, and they say were gonna have to pay what's owed. Were gonna have to reap from some seed thats been sowed. This is his/her/their greatest song, imo. Edit: I put some comas and dots there. Edit for hint: This is most likely the band's longest song. You won't hear it on the radio too often unless it's cut down to about 1/3 its actual time. Here at least. The band was formed in 1977 and had their first top 10 chart in the next year. Edit again: Drat! Come on, guys. I'm not giving this one up that easily. According to the northern-english band's name, they are "in serious need of more money". Ask for an other hint if you must. I'm sure you know the band, some of you are quite fond of them, I read in some other posts.

Master of Nuhn Wed, 19th Jul '06, 3:06pm Dire Straits is correct, but the name of the song is not Industrial Disease. You're close, though. The correct song is on the same album. Poke your hubby a bit harder. :) kuemper Wed, 19th Jul '06, 6:32pm Telegraph Road? (I think I poked him too hard) :deadhorse: Master of Nuhn Wed, 19th Jul '06, 9:02pm :lol: Too hard? It worked. Next time you need to know something, you just poke him that hard. :D You're up, kuemper. :thumb: Edit: I thought this would be a softy, but seemingly I was wrong... Again.

Don't know the song title, though. Wow, I'm on a real roll here, knowing the band but not the name of the song. :rolleyes: kuemper Fri, 21st Jul '06, 2:35pm The band is correct. I always have to ask hubby what the title is myself. The lead singer is pretty garbled from being drunk. :beer: Hint: It's the theme to a Canadian tv show. kuemper Tue, 25th Jul '06, 3:22am It was Blow at High Dough by Tragically Hip, theme to Made in Canada with Rick Mercer. The new song quote: The moon... beautiful The sun... even more beautiful kuemper Thu, 27th Jul '06, 3:05pm Is anyone even reading this? :skeptic: Do y'all not want to play anymore? Hint: Ferris Bueller's Day Off soundtrack Splunge Fri, 28th Jul '06, 1:47am Do y'all not want to play anymore? I'm sure people do, but your choice of lyrics is likely presenting a significant barricade to them doing so. :p Harbourboy Fri, 28th Jul '06, 2:23am The only song I remember from Ferris Bueller is Twist and Shout and it's not that. Song Quote Game is the hardest one to play because you can't even make educated guesses here like you can in the movie and TV games. kuemper Fri, 28th Jul '06, 3:36am I'm sure people do, but your choice of lyrics is likely presenting a significant barricade to them doing so. Other than the song's title, those *are* the lyrics. It's a pseudo-instrumental, techno-dance track so popular in 1985. Harbourboy Fri, 28th Jul '06, 4:47am It's not that one that goes "boom boom, chick, chicky chick AHHHHH"? kuemper Fri, 28th Jul '06, 3:21pm Yes it is.

I ask because you seem to quote quite a few Canadian songs, etc. Trooper - General Handgrenade (At least I think that's what it's called.) kuemper Wed, 2nd Aug '06, 4:16pm I'm an ex-American living in Canada. Canadian songs are required to be played on the radio up here. Consequently, I hear a lot of Trooper and April Wine. ;) The old :geezer: has the floor.

TrueBlueAussie Wed, 9th Aug '06, 1:29pm Is it 'Once in a While' from the Rocky Horror Picture Show? Not too sure who actually sings it though. Shoot me for knowing that song. kuemper Wed, 9th Aug '06, 6:55pm *bang* Right song. Right movie. You've got 2 choices for the singer. TrueBlueAussie Thu, 10th Aug '06, 9:10am Not the faintest idea. If anyone else knows, then be my guest to answer it and present the next quote. Carcaroth Thu, 10th Aug '06, 10:03am Tim Curry and Richard O'Brian are English, so... Meatloaf? DarkStrider Thu, 10th Aug '06, 1:00pm I think that's Little Nell kuemper Thu, 10th Aug '06, 3:00pm It's a guy who sings it, though he has really great legs. ;) Not Meatloaf, so it's the other guy. The scene with the song is cut from some versions of the film. Big Major Hintage: The actor/singer I'm looking for is probably better know to you as playing the president on an American tv series. T2Bruno Thu, 10th Aug '06, 3:48pm That would have to be Brad -- Barry Bostwick. Unfortunately, I've never even heard the song. I never heard it in the theater and it's not on my video tape. I understand that it was cut from the movie and is only heard in the play or the extended versions of the movie now available on DVD. kuemper Thu, 10th Aug '06, 4:51pm Yep, that's the one. Sorry about the snafu; I mixed up West Wing with Spin City. T2Bruno Thu, 10th Aug '06, 6:16pm Where when I hear her I can see her I can smell her sweet perfume I can feel her skin against me when I sleep T2Bruno Sun, 13th Aug '06, 3:30am Okay, I'll shift yet again to a new song since no one knows Gary Allen.... How about something from a British guy... You called me from the room in your hotel All full of romance For someone that you met Telling me how sorry you were Leaving so soon And that you miss me sometimes When you're alone in your room Do I feel lonely too? Splunge Mon, 14th Aug '06, 12:10am Phil Collins. As usual, I don't know the name of the song :( T2Bruno Mon, 14th Aug '06, 4:06pm Got the guy, more lyrics: You have no right to ask me how I feel You have no right to speak to me so kind We can't go on just holding on to time Now that we're living [title of song] T2Bruno Tue, 15th Aug '06, 6:26pm Strike two.... The next little number will be more recent (in fact off the most recent CD I got): I fell in fear, upon my back I said don't look back, just keep on walking. When the big black horse that looked this way, Said hey lady, will you marry me? But I said no, no, no,no-no-no I said no, no, you're not the one for me Splunge Wed, 16th Aug '06, 2:49am Damn! That'll teach me for taking so long between visits (well, probably not). 'Cause I think the previous song was "Separately", or "Separate Lives", or something like that. Oh well, it don't matter now. :( T2Bruno Wed, 16th Aug '06, 5:17am Well Splunge you can have it if you post before someone gets the last song I put up. nior Wed, 16th Aug '06, 1:00pm You called me from the room in your hotel All full of romance For someone that you met Telling me how sorry you were Leaving so soon And that you miss me sometimes When you're alone in your room Do I feel lonely too?It's actually: You called me from the room in your hotel All for the of romance With someone that you met And telling me how sorry you were Separate Lives - Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin But Splunge got it already. T2Bruno Wed, 16th Aug '06, 3:40pm 'All full of romance' is correct ('all for the of romance' is doesn't mean anything), but I did miss the 'and' later in the lyric. As I said, either Splunge can go or someone guess the last post of mine: I fell in fear, upon my back I said don't look back, just keep on walking. When the big black horse that looked this way, Said hey lady, will you marry me? But I said no, no, no,no-no-no I said no, no, you're not the one for me Morgoth Wed, 16th Aug '06, 10:43pm Thats KT Tunstall with "Black horse and the cherry tree". T2Bruno Wed, 16th Aug '06, 10:59pm That would be it. Your turn. Morgoth Wed, 16th Aug '06, 11:30pm Yay, finally a song that I know! Now here's mine: Dreaming of that face again. It's bright and blue and shimmering. Grinning wide And comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes. nior Thu, 17th Aug '06, 4:13am No idea about Morgoth's song. [ August 17, 2006, 04:24: Message edited by: nior ] Morgoth Thu, 17th Aug '06, 11:49am Twelve hours have past, so here is hint number 1. The song starts of with two audioclips from good ol' Bill Hicks, my favourite being: Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here is Tom with the weather. Morgoth Fri, 18th Aug '06, 12:47pm Alright, 60 hours have passed and noone has any idea, so I guess it's time to put this song away and come up with an easier one. Forward he cried, from the rear And the front rank died. BTW, the other quote was from Tool - Third Eye. Stardust Fri, 18th Aug '06, 12:58pm Thats's us and them by Pink Floyd of dark side of the moon, track 6 Morgoth Fri, 18th Aug '06, 1:41pm Yup, thats the one. DarkStrider Fri, 18th Aug '06, 1:42pm It's track 7 actually 6 is Money :p Stardust Fri, 18th Aug '06, 1:49pm On the live edition yes but on the studio album track 7 is any color you like a instrumantal psychedelic composition highy influenced by Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. If you don't belive me i can go and take a photo of my original LP record. The diffrence is that on the live album the first song(s) speakto me/breath have been split in two. :p :p :p As for my quote: While I eat my scones and drink my cup of tea The sun is warm but it's a lonely afternoon Oh, play that theme kuemper Fri, 18th Aug '06, 1:58pm Rubber Band - David Bowie?
