Test you skill and try to work out the name of the song and original (or most famous) performer that the following lyrics belong to.

The person that posts the first correct reply sets the next lyrics to solve (guess).


Try this one for a starter;



It's amystery to me,
The game commences,
For the usual fee,
Plus expenses

Dire Straits - Private Investigations

Here's mine:

Words fall silent when no-one will hear
Emotions are deadly when there's too much to fear
Touch a feeling and we feel again
To know the pleasure, we must know the pain

Steve Vai - I'll be around ....

Here's mine:

Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad,
Other things just make you swear and curse,
When you're chewing your life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle,
And this'll help things turn out for the best,

Monty Python - Always look on the brightside of life.


Guess this one:

playground school bell rings again
rain clouds come to play again
has no one told you she's not breathing?

Hello by Evanescence


Try this one (a bit of a classic really)

Michael Rennie was ill,
The Day the Earth Stood Still,
But he told us where we stand

[trogg]

*cough*

And Flash Gordon was there,
In silver underwear,
Claude Rains was the Invisible Man.



There you go... a bit more of a hint.

Alrighty Trogg,

that'll be be from Rocky Horror - 'Science Fiction'

I'll try y'all on this:

Imagine his surprise when he opened his eyes,
and I'd run the lawnmower over his thighs.
Imagine the disturbance at the time of the occurrence
when his life became a burden,
we laughed at his cries.

Geeze... could you have found something more obscure?

Well, yeah - I could have given you something that search engines won't find

I know those sort of songs exist, 'cos I've come across a few when I'm searching for lyrics myself

[Ms Whips]

That's "Welcome to the cheap seats" by the Wonder Stuff.

How about this one:

"One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small"

Anyone that has listened to Hauraki lately will know it

"One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small"

White Rabbit from Jefferson Airplane (before they changed their name to Jefferson Starship, before they changed their name to Starship, before they changed their name back to Jefferson Airplane.... over the course of about 25 years)

Note, if you get a chance to see the Video of the Doors first European tour then do it... It has a great interview with Grace Slick & Paul (who's surname I can't remember) about what it was like to tour with Jim Morrison.

Anyway, back to the game;

"To tha Happy Home with Trees and Flowers
And Chirping Birds and basket weavers
Who sit and smile and
Twiddle their thumbs and toes"

[Sparklechick]

Is it

"they're coming to take me away"? I can't remember who sang it ...

That might not even be the name of the song ...

I'll wait to see if I'm right before putting a new challenge up.
