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!

Yes T'pau ........Carol Decker

Heart and Soul was the song

Oh that's it! Thanks Julius, was really bugging me!

So whos up next ?

The wounds on your hands
Never seem to heal

Blydi hell Julius that's not something I expected to see here! If I'm right that's from the Sylvian/Sakamoto collaboration? Forbidden Colours.

It is indeed.

LSG, do you know this one, from the same pair?

There goes one baby's life
It's such a small amount
She's un-American
I guess it doesn't count

I do, but I've just had to really wrack my brains to think of it. World Citizen isn't it? I was a massive Japan fan when I was young but I have to admit that I find some of Sylvian's solo work just a bit too inaccessible. I still love Brilliant Trees though.

World Citizen I agree about some of the solo work.

Lets get this thing started again -

You've read Karl Marx
And you've taught yourself to dance
You're the best by far

Yay! I know that!

Bros, When Will I Be Famous?

And can I just clarify that I was not a fan, I was a little too old, it just sticks in your memory

I was a fan , had the haircut and the leather jacket

OMG - it's all coming out of the woodwork now

And the ripped jeans

Oh my! Kenny! thought you had better taste than that... think you'd better stay in your current location indefinitely...

Can I do one? I'm not sure if I can, but to hell with that!.

'She's got a smile it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky'

Easy - it was on 'Slash in Stoke" on Sky Arts last night

Sweet Child O' Mine

'Slash in Stoke'? The mind boggles!

Your turn Julius.

Slash was born in Stoke, wasn't he? Or lived there as a kid?

Up to Lexington 125
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive

Well I never! You are indeed correct Julius, he lived there as a kid! I live about 30 miles from Stoke and I never knew that!

I know that song, it's 1970s I think and a bloke singing, but that's all that's springing to mind at the mo!

Late 60s and a bloke singing

Give us a clue Julius, nowt else has sprung to mind.

Can i get abit of street cred back ? it's the Velvet Underground

It's 'Waiting for my Man'.

You take it Lucky

try this one

But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried
But it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared
For the sound of being alone

Doing my usual! I know it and I can hear it but I can't think who/what it is. What have I done to my little grey cells? I'm blaming middle age

It's 1970s and a bloke singing... give us some clues Kenny please!

It is a bloke singing , he has been around since the 60's singer song/writer who imo has wrote some fantastic songs for others and for himself .......sold 100's of millions of records worldwide ...........even tried acting ( if you can call it that ) and i love the film

Bob Dylan?

John Denver? Though I didn't think his record sales were that high?

Nope neither of those , but they are both jewels aswell in my eyes

Paul Simon?

Nope , but I'm a believer that he's great aswell

It's Neil Diamond!!!!!!

Which song though? I Am, I Said ??

Damn, I knew that one!

Not many people realise that Neil Diamond was born Neil Carbon. He only became Neil Diamond after being compressed under the earth's crust for several million years.

Swanny is spot on , that is also a very interesting fact from JM

Julius is a mine of information.


Ok, let's try this one, easy peasy I reckon

Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean

fantastic song

John Denver - Annie's Song

This is the James Galway version.....

i stand corrected , you take it JM

I meant I was showing the lyrics to the James Galway version
But since you insist....

I feel so silly when I tell you
I gave you all I had

nope dont know that one ?

80s duo

Hall and Oates ?

Is it Tears for Fears?

Boy/girl duo

Not Dollar?
