A Quote Quiz of a Different Sort

[jamesq]

Hey, it doesn't all have to be about movies. Here are some quotes from pop songs. As usual, there is a mix of easy and hard. Name the song and the artist.

Send me a songwriter
Who's drifted far from home
And make sure that he's hungry
Make sure he's alone
Send me a cheeseburger
And a new Rolling Stone
Crime In The City (Sixty To Zero Part 1)/Neil Young
Guessed by nosarious

Seven years of power
The corporation claw
The rich control the government, the media the law
To make some kind of difference
Then everyone must know
Eradicate the fascists, revolution will grow
Speak/Queensrÿche

I went to see the doctor of philosophy
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
He never did marry or see a B-grade movie
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind, got my paper
And I was free.
Closer to Fine/Indigo Girls

She came from Providence,
the one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang
heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams
like a refugee
Just as her father came across the sea
The Last Resort/The Eagles

A lot of simps won't like this song
'Cause them punks like to hit it and quit it
And I'd rather stay and play
'Cause I'm long, and I'm strong
And I'm down to get the friction on
Baby Got Back/Sir Mix-A-Lot

the winter here's cold, and bitter
it's chilled us to the bone
we haven't seen the sun for weeks
too long too far from home
I feel just like I'm sinking
and I claw for solid ground
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
oh darkness I feel like letting go
Full of Grace/Sarah McLachlan
No guesses (but petranef came close)


I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said "You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"
Who Are You/The Who
Guessed by kermie_canada

'I have here a cask of most magical wine
A vintage that blessed every ship in the line
It's wrung from the blood of the sailor's who died
Young white bodies adrift in the tide'
The Soul Cages/Sting

2.50 for and eyeball
And a buck and a half for an ear
Happy hour, happy hour
Happy hour is here
Little Bones/The Tragically Hip
Guessed by catalytic

The watcher and the tower
Waiting hour by hour
Crises/Mike Oldfield
