Lyrics Quiz
Apparently, one of the recent fads in the blogosphere (at least among my friends in the blogosphere - your mileage may vary) is to post song lyric snippets and get people to guess the song/artist. So, here goes, with a warning: many lyrics come from way beyond the folk music world.
- "Everybody look at your hands!"
- "Tulsa burns on the desert floor like a signal fire."
- "I got a double-o-eighteen Martin guitar in the back seat of the car."
- "Watch what you say, they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical, criminal"
- "Here is a key to a house far away where I used to live as a child"
- "We were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife."
- "The last square mile of terra firma gaveled in the mail."
- "Thank God for the man who put the white lines on the highway."
- "My charade is the event of the season."
- "My love is jazz licks improvised by toddlers."
- "Architects may come and architects may go and never change their point of view."
- "Let me smell the moon in your perfume"
- "I freeze myself in fire and I burn myself on ice. I can't count to one without thinking twice."
- "My hair points to the sky, the place I want to be."
- "Hummalababy la zeeba la humma la humma la baby la zeeba la bop"
- "I have sunk so low. I messed up. Better I should know."
- "In my house we see by Christmas light and your TV and that seems to be enough."
- "She danced on my head like Arthur Murray/The scars ain't ever gonna mend in a hurry."
- "Every psychopath has his own magazine these days/I just read about how I can kill in a hundred ways."
- "Things fall apart. It's scientific."
- "He's lookin' down kinda funny, pokin' that dog with a stick."
- "Oh the night came undone like a party dress/and fell at her feet in a beautiful mess."
- "It's the proud tribe in full war dance/It's the slow smile that the bully gives the runt."
- "It was a lawyer for the Lord/He said 'Don't do this no more!'"
- "She saw Tuesdays and forgetfulness, and a little money saved."
- "Who needs a shave? He's Robertson Davies!"
- "Taste a little of the summer/Grandma put it all in a jar."
- "Beware that hooded old man at the rudder"
- "The lovers, the dreamers and me."
- "Here's to the workers in their fields."
