    Some more lyrics to guess at. Some are obvious, some are obscure. Some are from memory so don't flame me for minor inaccuracies please!
    __________________________________________
    1. My mind is like an ocean, I'm hanging in the harbour.

    2. The music plays and you display your heart for me.

    3. As Anthony said to Cleopatra as he opened a crate of ale.

    4. The thin man say, "I don't want to hear your voice".

    5. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl.

    6. You win or you lose, and it's them who choose.

    7. I'm down to just one thing, and I'm starting to scare myself.

    8. So I can wear honesty, like a crown on my head, when I walk into the promised land.

    9. Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think.

    10. She don't mean no harm, she just don't know what else to do about it.

    11. Hey white boy! What you doing uptown.

    12. Giving in to love, and sharing my time. letting someone into my misery.

    13. A reference - to your preference - to say I'm a good neighbour.

    14. I will try to sing a happy song.

    15. What about China? Have you seen the Great Wall?

    O.K. can anybody get

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,393 ✭✭✭Jaden



    2. Tom Waits - Closing Time.
    3. The Smiths - Some Girls are bigger than others.
    8. Dead Can Dance - American Dreaming. (Covered by my sisters band once.....)
    12. Red House Painters - Medicine Bottle.

    1 or 14, I dunno, although 14 sounds familiar. I would have replied earlier, but I'm sick. The joys of puking and ****ting at the same time.....



    Hail To The King, Baby.

    Jaden.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 616 ✭✭✭C B
