Lyrics Quiz

Let's see if I get more hits via non-LJ folk. Guess the song title and band.:

Let it lift you off the ground
Starry eyes, and love is all around
I can take you where you want to go


If morning's echo says we've sinned,
well, it was what I wanted now.
And if we're the victims of the night,
I won't be blinded by light.
Angel of the Morning – Juice Newton (Guessed by petranef)

You're old enough some people say
To read the signs and walk away.
It's only time that heals the pain
And makes the sun come out again.
It's Raining Again – Supertramp (Guessed by mallt)

They say the Devil's water, it ain't so sweet.
You don't have to drink right now.
But you can dip your feet every once in a little while.
When You Were Young – The Killers (Guessed by conejita_diabla)

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 sailor's who died
Young white bodies adrift in the tide.


We we're thinking we would never be apart
With your name tattooed across my heart
Who would have thought it would end up like this?


I study nuclear science, I love my classes
I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades - Timbuk 3 (Guessed by conejita_diabla and thebrucie)

What does it matter to ya
When you got a job to do
You gotta do it well
You gotta give the other fellow hell.
Live & Let Die - Paul McCartney (Guessed by mallt)

Love is the leech
sucking you up
Love is the vampire
drunk on your blood.
The Beast - Concrete Blond (Guessed by ladytaryn)

Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder then a bad-girl's dream.
The power of Love – Huey Lewis and the News (Guessed by conejita_diabla)

#2 = Angel of the Morning, Juice Newton
#7 = Weird Science, Oingo Boingo

[jamesq]

#2 is correct. #7, not so much.

[petranef.livejournal.com]

Ah, well. I hadda Google the correct answer, so I withdraw my submission for #7 on that account. :)

In honor of your new icon...

walk without rhythm - it won't attract the worm
walk without rhythm, and it won't attract the worm
walk without rhythm, and it won't attract the worm
if you walk without rhythm, huh-you never learn

4 - When You Were Young (The Killers)
7 - The Future's So Bright (I Gotta Wear Shades may also be the title, or part thereof? No idea who it's by)
9 - The Power of Love (Huey Lewis)

[jamesq]

#4 and #9 #10 are correct. #7 is correct but incomplete.

[conejita-diabla.livejournal.com]

Bruce completes it by saying timbuk3. :-)

[jamesq]

And technically #9 isn't right, but I'm not going to ding you for miscounting ;)

[mallt.livejournal.com]

#3 - Raining Again - Supertramp
#8 - Live & let Die - Paul McCartney & Wings or G'n'R
#10 - The Power Of Love - Huey Lewis

[jamesq]

All good, but #10 is too late.

That'll teach me to look at other peeps comments before posting my own!

WHY DO I KNOW NONE OF THESE? Oh right. Because I listen to wordless hippie music and musicals.

[jamesq]

There was a time I could stop on a dime
Forbearance was one of my talents
But since you've been around I can't hold my ground
I'm consistently losing my balance

[othelianna.livejournal.com]

Is it bad that I can see the choreography in my head to that, and know where I'd be standing during that number?

[jamesq]

Some say "OCD", I say "dedicated".

[ladytaryn.livejournal.com]

#9 is Concrete Blonde from the Bloodletting album - Song title is The Beast. Thanks for reminding of this song. I haven't listened to this album in ages (which I still have in cassette)!

[jamesq]

Howdy stranger. You are correct.
