Lyrics game!

[Anthony Williams]

I've selected the first lines of a number of songs, and the aim of the game is to figure out what song each line is from, without looking it up.

I will buy a drink at the next opportunity for whoever guesses the most...

1. "She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge"

2. "A hand held over a candle in angst fuelled bravado"

3. "Do you wanna get rocked?"

4. "If you think that a kiss is all on the lips, c'mon!"

5. "Has he lost his mind, can he see or is he blind?"

6. "So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell"

7. "Get yourself together, let the light pour in"

8. "Wash away the blackness with the silver rain"

9. "I've done my share of working out"

10. "Lift me up on my honour, take me over this spell"

11. "Summer has come and passed, the innocent can never last"

12. "Wish I was, yeah, a wild west hero"

13. "There is something I wanted to tell you"

14. "Well you can tell by the way I use my walk"

15. "It was only one hour ago, it was all so different then"

16. "Ive seen all good people turn their heads each day, so satisfied Im on my way"

17. "Reach out and touch faith"

18. "Have you ever felt, the future is the past?"

19. "Born to push you around, better just stay down"

20. "I've got sunshine in my stomach, like I just rocked my baby to sleep"

21. "I am the god of hellfire, and I bring you..."

22. "Jubilee slouches in the settee, he's losing all will to move"

23. "Up here in space, I'm looking down on you"

24. "All these accidents that happen, follow the dot"

25. "You say that I put chains on you, but I don't that's really true"

26. "Proud enough for you to call me arrogant"

27. "Dah pretty ladies around the world, got a weird thing to show you"

28. "From the day he was born, he was trouble..."

29. "You, you say that you have the way"

30. "What's up, darlin'? I've been keepin' my eyes on your movement"

Guess away!

22: Jubilee by Blur

And that's the only time you'll ever read that statement in a music quiz !!

Number 2 has the rhythmn and structure of a Fish lyric (angst and bravado indeed) , but its not from any of the solo albums I've got if it is him

[Pip Madeley]

My dad informs me it is Slainte Mhath

[Andrew Curnow]

11. "Summer has come and passed, the innocent can never last" When September Ends, Greenday

[Pip Madeley]

I'm quite surprised you knew that, Andrew!

[Jon Masters]

My dad informs me it is Slainte Mhath

Bless you ! That's a nasty sneeze you've got

Never heard of it.

[Andrew Curnow]

I'm quite surprised you knew that, Andrew!

You're surprised?

I see that Elbow have won the best British band - I'd never heard of them until last week!!!

[Stephen Morgan]

No. 12 is ELO's Wild West Hero. Haven't a clue about any of the others apart from the ones that have been guessed though.

[Phillip Culley]

17 is Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus - I probably know more of them but I can't think at the moment...

[shada pavlova]

I believe number 28 is Eddie's Teddy from the rocky horror picture show.
