Guess The Song

First topic message reminder :

How to Play
-- The first person (that would be I) must post a line or two from a song of their choosing.
-- Everyone elses' job is to try and work out which song it is originated from by posting on this thread.
-- once the questioner has confirmed a correct answer, the person who correctly guessed the song first them gets the opportunity to post a line of their own choosing...

Rules
-- The line must be easily recognisable from one particular song; not something that could be from any one of a number of songs.
-- Try to keep them amusing and original in order to keep the fun rolling.

Le's go!

"And the sign said 'long-haired freaky people need not apply'"

People think I'm insane
Because I am frowning all the time

A bit of a guess - Paranoid, Black Sabbath
I think that has the first line in, but don't know about the second line, so I may be wrong

No you are right

haha - I can sing that first line, but then it's 'cos dum dum dum dum dum dum'

And by 5 o'clock everything's dead
And every third car is a cab
And ignorant people sleep in their beds
Like the doped white mice in the college lab

Del Amitri - Nothing ever happens ?

Correct

Alan doesn't understand her
He only thinks in numbers
He only drinks in restaurants
Where the girls are fully covered

Deacon Blue - Chocolate Girl

love that song

People like you find it easy
Naked to see
Walking on air

that rings a bell , this will do my head in

More clues Kenny?

yes please ................ its going round my head but not sticking

Other lines in the song :-

Your confusion
My Illusion
Worn like a mask of self-hate

I know i know this but i cant think of it

First lines of the song -

Walk in silence
Don't walk away in silence
See the danger
Always danger

Its Joy Division isn't it ?

Yes

Atmosphere

you know when a song is going over and over in your head

What you get is just what you see yeah
I should so I take it free yeah
And all the bad preserves be things that feed me
I never help or give to the needy

I can hear Shaun Ryder singing that...

yes you can

'Kinky Afro' by Happy Mondays.

Yes

Next

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain,
I like watchin' the puddles gather rain.

got me with that one billy

No idea either. Is is an Irish band? 80s?

or is it a Viking war song ?

we better not go there.

It was a one hit wonder from and American band in the 90's. The lead singer ended up topping himself.

Still haven't got a clue billy

The band is named after a visibly impaired fruit

Blind Melon. No idea of the song name though!

Top Marks Julius, if you know the band then you know the song. The only hit that they had...

had to look it up to get the thread going again ........ No Rain ...... never heard of it before .

You've made me acknowledge the devil in me
I hope to God I'm talkin' metaphorically

Never met a girl like you before?

Cant remember the band though

Male Singer

Edwyn Collins?

Yes ........................Swanny's here

Thats really good to hear

Its A Flock of Seagulls isn't it ?

Smart arse! Which song though?

Wishing .............................and No before you ask i didn't have the hairstyle

Something in the moonlight catches my eye
The shadow of a lover goes dancing by
