"Needle and the Damage Done" by Neil Young.

Oh baby, baby, the reason I breathe is you

FoolThemAll 06-07-2004 04:04 PM

Yikes. Britney Spears - Baby One More Time

You look so tired, unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us.

Derwood 06-07-2004 06:54 PM

No Surprises - Radiohead

We said if you don't got Mojo Nixon
then your store could use some fixin!

Derwood 06-09-2004 06:19 AM

Ok, I'll answer my own. It was "Punk Rock Girl" by the Dead Milkmen.

New lyrics:

If you're not into metal, you are not my friend!

Derwood 06-11-2004 12:29 PM

Still too obscure? It was "Metal Warriors" by Man O' War.

Next lyrics:

Say baby do you wanna lay down with me?
Say baby...Say Baby!

perripken 06-18-2004 11:57 AM

Ok, it's been a week, I'm going to try to start this thing up again


An only child alone and wild, a cabinet-maker's son
His hands were meant for different work and his heart was known to none

that was Tommy the Cat, from Primus (GREAT tune, btw).

perripkens quote sounds vaguely familiar, but I have no idea what it is.

Leader of the Band - Dan Fogelberg (great song!)


Wind – in my hair –
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
Adrenaline surge

Red Barchetta, from Rush


next up:

It’s time to leave and get another quart
Around the corner at the liquor store
Haha, the cheapest stuff is all I need
To get me back on my feet again

perripken 06-19-2004 09:12 AM

That's Cold Gin, Kiss, Sion- I think I already used that one- it's ok, though.

Ok, easy one:

The jig is up the news is out,
they finally found me.

SixEdxMia 06-19-2004 09:24 AM

Dammit...
 
Carry on..

Renegade, by Styx


next:

You know I saw Miss Lucy
Down along the tracks
She lost her home and her family
And she wont be comin back

Without love, where would you be right now?

perripken 06-20-2004 08:20 PM

Doobie Bros. Long train runnin'

I close my eyes, only for a moment and the moment's gone
all my dreams, pass before my eyes a curiosity

Sion 06-20-2004 08:34 PM

Kansas, Dust in the Wind


next:

She took all my money,
Wrecked my new car.
Now she's with one of my good time buddy's
They're drinking in some crosstown bar.

perripken 06-21-2004 11:43 AM

Well... I tried to let someone else have a shot:
Allman Brothers, Whippin post

Johnny made a record,
went straight up to number one,
suddenly everyone loved to hear him
sing his songs

Bad Company - "Shooting Star"

Vicious
You hit me with a flower
You do it every hour
Oh baby, you're so vicious

perripken 06-23-2004 11:25 PM

STUMPER!

illinoiz 06-26-2004 10:30 PM

Sorry I neglected this thread.

That lyric is from "Vicious" by Lou Reed.

How about this?

Check the hands
On the clock
It's 8:05
It's time to rock

Sion 06-26-2004 10:36 PM

"There's only one way to rock"
Sammy Hagar



next:

And on some solitary rock.
a desperate lover left his mark:
"Baby I've changed, please come back."

perripken 06-28-2004 09:52 PM

Don Henley "New York Minute"

The joint was jumpin' like a cat on hot tin.
Lord, I thought the floor was gonna give in.
Soundin' a lot like a House Congressional
'cause we're experimental and professional.

cheeterbo 06-30-2004 10:57 AM

all i can remember is zz top, but the booze and drugs have made it hard, and i am not talking about my cock

repeater 07-06-2004 10:25 AM

I thought I'd bring this one back since it hasn't been near the top in a while. Here is a new set of lyrics.

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire

Talking Heads - Psycho Killer

SinisterMotives 07-06-2004 12:11 PM

Here's the next one:

She puffed her pillows up so high
It's like she's hanging in the sky

Sion 07-17-2004 11:55 PM

I dont know the answer to SM's, but am going to try to jumpstart this thread again with a new quote:

"A foolish young man,
Of the negro persuasion.
Devoted his life,
To become a caucasion."

BigTruck1956 07-23-2004 06:19 PM

dude! Frank Zappa - youa are what you is

tight.

new lyrics, someone should get this:

easin down the highway in a new cadillac,
i had a fine fox in the front, i had 3 more in the back.
they sportin short dresses wearing spike heeled shoes,
smokin lucky strikes, and wearin nylon too.

Sion 07-23-2004 08:49 PM

ZZ Top: Im Bad, Im Nationwide


Philosophy...
Is the talk on a cereal box.
Religion...
Is the smile on a dog.

perripken 07-26-2004 05:43 AM

Well.... better late than never. Actually Sion, you stumped the panel but I have the answer (If I had been around I could have answered it)
Edie Brickell and the New Bohemiams (Mrs. Paul Simon)



Stand tall I'm young and kinda proud
I'm on top as long as the music's loud.

Sion 07-26-2004 08:15 PM

hmmm, that sounds like part of Judas Priest's "You got another thing comin'"

perripken 08-04-2004 09:12 PM

you are correct Sion, sorry.. I forgot I posted that lyric. Seems like lyrical pursuit just isn't as popular as Music Trivia.

Sion 08-05-2004 08:28 PM

ok then, resuming...

She shuts the doors and lights
And lays her body on the bed
Where images and words are running deep

Sion 08-06-2004 08:12 PM

with as many fans as this band has on the TFP, I cant believe no one knows this.
