I was thinking of the "greatest opening lines" thread on this forum earlier today, and I came up with an idea that I hope could be fun - an opening lyrics quiz! I post 20 opening lyrics, and you give me either the artist or the name of the song to get one point - and if you know both you'll get three. Good luck!
1. "They're selling postcards of the hanging They're painting the passports brown"
2. "Well I get up at seven, yeah And I go to work at nine I got no time for livin’ Yes, I’m workin’ all the time"
3. "I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain"
4. "Clock strikes upon the hour And the sun begins to fade Still enough time to figure out How to chase my blues away"
5. "When they kick at your front door How you gonna come? With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun"
6. "So you've been to school For a year or two And you know you've seen it all"
7. "What has happened down here, Is the winds have changed Clouds roll in from the north And it started to rain It rained real hard, and It rained for a real long time Six feet of water In the streets of Evangeline"
8. "They paved paradise And put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique And a swinging hot spot"
9. "At home drawing pictures Of mountain tops With him on top Lemon yellow sun Arms raised in a V Dead lay in pools of maroon below"
10. "I remember when I remember, I remember when I lost my mind There was something so pleasant about that place"
11. "One summer evening drunk to hell I sat there nearly lifeless An old man in the corner sang "Where The Water Lilies Grow"
12. "Won't you let me walk you home from school? Won't you let me meet you at the pool? Maybe Friday I can Get tickets for the dance And I'll take you"
13. "Park the car at the side of the road You should know Time's tide will smother you And I will too"
14. "Freak out And give in Doesn't matter what you believe in Stay cool And be somebody's fool this year"
15. "Every night before I go to sleep Find a ticket, win a lottery Scoop the pearls up from the sea Cash them in and buy you all the things you need"
16. "Teenage angst has paid off well Now I'm bored and old"
17. "I caught you knockin' at my cellar door "I love you baby, can I have some more?"
18. "A boy is born in hard time Mississippi Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty His parents give him love and affection To keep him strong moving in the right direction"
19. "I'm a streetwalking cheetah with a heart full of napalm I'm a runaway son of the nuclear A-bomb"
20. " You know that it would be untrue You know that I would be a liar If I was to say to you Girl, we couldn't get much higher"
