Lyrics Thread


We've had the lyrics quizzes. Now a thread with lyrics, along the same lines as the film quotes thread. Guess the song and artist the lyrics come from, then post the next lyrics quote.
I'll go first:

"I remember Sally from number 4, she always had boys queueing up at her door"

Re: Lyrics Thread


Could it possibly be Sue Wilkinson singing "You Gotta Be A Hustler If You Wanna Get On"?

Kylie, even by your standards this is very obscure. It only reached number 25 in the charts over 27 years ago!!! emoticon

OK then, something a bit more mainstream ....


Twenty years of crawling
Was bottled up inside him
He wasn't holding nothing back
He let 'em have it all
When Tommy left the bar room
Not a Gatlin boy was standing
He said, This one's for Becky
As he watched the last one fall

Coward of the County; Kenny Rogers.

"take the spokes from your wheelchair
and a magpies wings
and tie em to your shoulders and your feet
i'll steal a hacksaw from my dad
and cut the braces from your legs
and we'll bury them tonight in the cornfield."

It's hardly obscure dave. It was a British chart hit, even more famous for the fact that it was originally banned, then the BBC changed their minds and she appeared on TOTP. I remember it well, and obviously so do you. Can't think why??

The answer to Jock's lyric is Tom Waits "Blue Valentine"

"I remember when
I was five and you were ten, boy
You knew that I was shy
So you teased and made me cry
But I loved you"

Diana Ross Iam still waiting

When you first left me

But you were ****ing that girl next door
What'cha do that for? (What'cha do that for?)

Lily Allen "Smile"


As the trees reach for the sun above
So my arms reach out to you for love
With your hand resting in mine
I feel a power so divine

Anyone who had a heart - Cilla emoticon

Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Goodbye mary, goodbye jane
Will we ever meet again
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain
