Lyric Quiz

[jamesq]

I sat down to write, but the creative taps are all dry today, so it's time for a lyric quiz. These ones all have personal significance. As usual, guess the artist and song.

Just let me close my eyes, memorize
The way things are this minute
So when you're gone I can go on
Hold On - Santana

But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams
Some kind of sensuous treat.
Not zucchini, fettucini, or bulgar wheat,
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat.

Ain't nobody livin, in a perfect world
Everybodys out there, cryin to be heard
Now I got a new fire, burnin in my eyes
Lightin up the darkness, movin like a meteorite

Resist and then later you find out there's more regret in not doing the sin.

We don't like What we don't understand
In fact it scares us
And this monster is mysterious at least
Bring your guns! Bring your knives!
Save your children and your wives
We'll save our village and our lives
We'll kill the Beast!

And I've been knocking but no one answers
And I've been knocking most of the day
And I've been calling, "Oh hey hey Johnny.
Can't you come out to play"?

This one's killing me, because I hear the Pet Shop Boys in my head.

Empty Garden by Elton John, his tribute to John Lennon

Some of the others sound almost familiar. For some reason I can't figure out, I keep hearing Queen sing The Show Must Go on even though it fits none of the lyrics above. Good collection.

[jamesq]

Empty Garden is correct. There are no PSB or Queen in this set.
