Title: lyrics quiz... Post by: sonicyouth on Saturday, December 31, 2005, 03:21:43 simple really, put all your mp3s on shuffle and pick out lyrics from a few tunes and see if anyone can guess them.
i've done 10, none of which are terribly obscure. between you all i think you'll manage to get them without any difficulty. winner gets a pint. no google! 1. Made the fatal mistake / Like I did once before / A tendency just to take / Til the purpose turned sour 2. And does your heart begin to fail / When the moment gets closer? / You always turn the other way / But it doesn't really matter at all / It doesn't really matter at all, oh no 3. Purify the colours, purify my mind / Purify the colours, purify my mind / And spread the ashes of the colors / Over this heart of mine! 4. Here comes the boat / Only half-afloat / Oarsman grins a toothless smile 5. Cause she drank and swore and spoke / Out of turn, she was the village joke 6. I was born, lucky me / In a land that I love / Though I am poor, I am free / When I grow I shall fight / For this land I shall die 7. If you can play on the fiddle / How’s about a british jig and reel? / Speaking king’s english in quotation / As railhead towns feel the steel mills rust water froze 8. I can’t see the end of me / My whole expanse I cannot see / I formulate infinity / And store it deep inside of me 9. The girl was never there / It’s always the same / I’m running towards nothing / Again and again and again and again 10. Oh, you’ve got green eyes / Oh, you’ve got blue eyes / Oh, you’ve got grey eyes Title: lyrics quiz... Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Saturday, December 31, 2005, 04:05:38 1. joy division
7. Clash - er something 8. nirvana 10. new order - temptation Title: Re: lyrics quiz... Post by: STFC Village on Saturday, December 31, 2005, 04:18:55 Quote from: "sonicyouth" 8. I can’t see the end of me / My whole expanse I cannot see / I formulate infinity / And store it deep inside of me Oh Me-NirvanaOne of the best songs off of the live album. Title: lyrics quiz...

1. You don't care for me, I don't care about that. You got a new fool, Hah, I like him like that 2. So who's in charge in here barking out loud so clear 'cos I'd really like to meet him 3. The lunatics have taken over the asylum. 4. I do this operation to improve penetration, I make vadges so tight that they need lubrication 5. Now there's a hole in the sky and if the grounds not cold everything is gonna burn 6. take out your manifestos and then put them away I implore you to ignore every word I say 7. Like a liar at a witch trial You look good for your age 8. Grooow my hair Grow my hair I am Jim Morrison. 9. The compliment showed she had a mind in her And when I smiled (ping!) I almost blinded her She said, great scott! are you a thief? Seems like you have a mouth full of gold teeth 10. So deaf, Van Goth was thinking of me when he chopped his ear off Title: lyrics quiz... Post by: sonicyouth on Saturday, December 31, 2005, 09:09:04 all right so far 8) the clash tune is 'straight to hell', joy division 'the only mistake' and the nirvana tune is actually by meat puppets but i'll let you have it. :wink:
