Ok, so I'm bored and what's a forum for if not for wasting time? You will be presented with five lyrics from well known songs. I would like the artist and song title please. NO GOOGLING ALLOWED! (you really shouldn't have to, i'm going to start easy).
[glow=red,2,300]One[/glow] A man walks down the street, He says, Why am I soft in the middle now? Why am I soft in the middle? The rest of my life is so hard! I need a photo-opportunity, I want a shot at redemption! Don't want to end up a cartoon, In a cartoon graveyard .....
[glow=red,2,300]Two[/glow] 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.
[glow=red,2,300]Three[/glow] Ambition makes you look pretty ugly Kicking and squealing gucci little piggy You don't remember You don't remember Why don't you remember my name? Off with his head, man Off with his head, man Why don't you remember my name? I guess he does....
[glow=red,2,300]Four[/glow] Every day I wake up and it's Sunday Whatever's in my eye won't go away The radio is playing all the usual What's a Wonderwall anyway
[glow=red,2,300]Five[/glow] We must take all of the medicines too expensive now to sell Set fire to the preacher who is promising us hell And in the ear of every anarchist that sleeps but doesn’t dream We must sing, we must sing, we must sing
On your marks, get set ... you've already done it haven't you? Unbelievable. J5

Ahh, i love these things but i'm always so rubbish at them. I don't know the first one, although it's vaguely familiar and I can almost hear the tune. The second one is Everybody Hurts by REM. The third is Paranoid Android by Radiohead . The fourth is Writing To Reach You by Travis and the fifth is At the Bottom of Everything by Bright Eyes. Wooo! I'm pretty sure that's 4 out 5!! Maybe I'm not so rubbish after all! What do I get as a prize ... ?

The first one is 'You Can Call Me Al' by ......... Oh crap I can't remember his name. Arrrrgh what is it?? The one with Chevy Chase in the video ... PAUL SIMON!! Phew ... I might have struggled on getting the name of the Bright Eyes tune.

Is this game over already? Even though I missed all the guessing, I'll have a go at one anyway...
waiting, watching the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop tell him, take no more, she practices her speech as he opens the door, she rolls over pretends to sleep as he looks her over...
I'll give you a clue...It's my all-time favorite band ever (maybe in a year's time when this forum is a bit older and there have been more posts, this clue might actually be helpful ...)

So, on the topic of my favorite band ever, has everyone heard the new single, Worldwide Suicide? It is absolutlely brilliant! If not, you can listen to it on their Myspace page. (Sorry if I am hijacking the thread, but none else seems to want to make new songs to guess...)

ok, i'm only admitting this once, but i was a massive guns n roses fan. i'm sure you can hear the influence in my songs what with the screeching vocals, general swearing and seven minute long guitar solos. i also like to perform in hot pants whilst running around a lot - as you will no doubt see if you attend my upcoming gigs*.
but anyways ... for some reason i didn't allow myself to listen to any other bands for a while and totally missed pearl jam and nirvana, and indeed 'grunge'. the band that finally broke the hold were the stone roses ... i liked to continue the 'roses' theme.
had a listen to the new tune tho and it's kinda cool. it's been so long since i've heard a pearl jam song that it kinda transported me back 10 years just with the sound. thanks for the link up though. and just for you, and to re-ignite the forum ... i'm gonna put up another set of devilishly cunning lyrics in the much anticipated Lyrics Game II.

* this might not be true. any requests for money back at the aforementioned gig will thusly be invalidated by this declaration. please feel free to direct any complaints you might have at my colleague 'alan the hatchet' who has a fragile disposition and hands the size of angry cows. and it's a stone cold fact that cows get bigger when they're angry*.
*this might not be true either.
