Got a bit of time to kill so thought I'd amuse myself by sticking this up......see if anyone can get them right without googling!!!

1) The clocks go back, railway track
Something blocks the line again

2) Life should be fragrant
Rooftop to the basement

3) That's alright, I clock 'em that way
Remind me of something James used to say...

4) I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
I certainly do

5) Tumbling like the leaves
Yeah we are spiraling on the breeze

6) Gray is my favorite color
I felt so symbolic yesterday

7) Pay your surgeon very well
To break the signs of aging

8) Caught your hand inside the till
Slammed your fingers in the door

9) There’s a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry

10) And in her color portrait world she believes that she’s got it all
She swears the moon don’t hang quite as high as it used to
 
A resounding zero for me, too.

BTW, does anyone have the lyrics for "Sweet Home Alabama" (Lynyrd Skynyrd) to put up, please? I love the song and I particularly want to buy a CD and singalonga-Alabamee on these drear winter nights. :o Don't worry, I'll keep the windows closed!
 
Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again
And I think its a sin, yes

Well I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

In Birmingham they love the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Here I come Alabama

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

Sweet home Alabama
Oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue
And the governor's true
Sweet Home Alabama
Lordy
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Yea, yea Montgomery's got the answer
 
Thanguverramuch, Mistuh Hardygin! I think the mostly late, great LS play it beautifully and I'll try to print this off on me new printer this week. As I have no confidence in actually doing that, I'll write it out, too. I still have 'Unchained Melody' with which to rend the airwaves, thanks to you, too. (You have much to answer for to the Noise Abatement Society.) Thanks again!
 
1) Stereophonics - Local Boy in the Photograph
2) U2 - Kite
3) Prince - Get Off
4) Alanis Vinaigrette - You Learn
5) ?????
6 ) Counting Crows - Mr Jones (natch)
7) Chilli Peppers - Californication
8) James - Laid
9) They Might be Giants - Make a litle birdhouse in your soul
10) ????????
 
Alanis Vinaigrette?? What's that all about?! :lol: Constitutes a "sorry, I can't accept that answer" in my book! I also believe that 9) is merely "Birdhouse In Your Soul" :P

Ha! Keep trying on the other two....... :lol:

And as for Brian's response.....I will politely ignore that one!! Mr C loves me! :D
 
No I am not. I have just googled number 10 and can happily say that I am glad I didn't know it!! American shite :P
 
I was proud I didn't know it. I cannot figure out number 5 for the life of me :confused: :confused: :confused: :shy: :shy:
