[Romantic Old Bird]

How about a thread where we identify a song from a few lyrics?


Here's one to start:

Love, let me sleep tonight on your couch
And remember the smell of the fabric
Of your simple city dress

[Romantic Old Bird]

Come on folks, don't be spoilsports, have a go!

Clue number one:

The writer and performer of this died in tragic circumstances in 1997, and IMHO he was a genius!

[kaphc]

Sorry ROB, I don't recognise those lyrics at all! With your clue, I'm thinking Kurt Cobain or Michael Hutchence, but I can't imagine that you would think either of them is a genius?

[Romantic Old Bird]

Absolutely Kaph, I didn't think either of them were.

Perhaps I pitched it a little to obscure.........sorry.

I'll tell you who and what it was, and then give you an easier one, OK?

It was Jeff Buckley from his album Grace (1994) and the track was 'So Real'. Don't know if this will wiork, but if you haven't heard him try this SO REAL


OK, now for one you should get!

You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind

[kaphc]

I know that one - it's a Beatles song. Is it called "So Tired" or "I'm so tired" or something like that?

I hadn't heard of Jeff Buckley but I've just looked him up and he was the man who wrote "Hallelujah" on the Shrek soundtrack which is a brilliant song!

[Romantic Old Bird]

Absolutely right Kaph!

Well done - your turn now!

[kaphc]

Here you are ...............

Chickety china, the chinese chicken
Have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin X-Files with no lights on,
We're dans la maison
I hope the smoking man's in this one

Barenaked Ladies - One Week

MY COMEBACK IS NEAR!

[Romantic Old Bird]

Good grief Stu!! You have returned - are you not studying??

[kaphc]

Yeah Stu! Nice to see you back and you got the answer right too!

Now you really have got to come back so that you can set the next question.

[Stu xxx]

k here's the next lyric

"Maybe someday
When I look back I'll be able to say
You didn't mean to be cruel
Somebody hurt you too"

Good luck x

[kaphc]

Stu, this has been bugging me for a couple of days. I know it's a Madonna song, but I'm not sure which one. I'll take a guess and say "Like a Prayer" to keep the thread moving!

[Stu xxx]

oooooooooooo your soooooo close!

[Janette]

It's "Oh Father"


Beautiful song!

[Stu xxx]

It is sooo beautiful x And Rob was so close it was on the same album xxx

Over to you Janette x

[Janette]

"Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach"


Nice easy one for you

[Stu xxx]

Don Henley's Boys of Summer?

[Janette]

Spot on Stu x


Your turn next

[Stu xxx]

"And inside we're all still wet
Longing and yearning
How can I explain how I feel?"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Romantic Old Bird]

Not a huge fan of this lady, in fact if she is on the car cd OH likes to play, I would rather be travelling in the arms of unconciousness myself!

Madonna's Bedtime Stories methinks Stu.

[Stu xxx]

Well I worship that woman - you are correct - over to you xxx

[Kaz]

Thought of something yet, ROB?

Be gentle, please . . . . . . this is yet another game that I'm TOTALLY USELESS at!

[Romantic Old Bird]

OK this is easy peasy and always makes me think of certain nights in the den.........

I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Lying in the dark
I think that I'm beginning to know her
Let it go
I'll be there when you call

[kaphc]

... Whever I fall
At your feet

etc. etc.
