    The Lyric game

    Okie. I've seen this on another thread. Tis kinda fun, so we'll see if it works here too.

    Going to put up 10 lyrics. You get 1 point for the correct song title AND the correct artist. Bear in mind that many songs have been done by more than one person - so, if you know several groups that have done a song, put them all up.

    The 10 songs have a theme. Whoever guesses the theme, gets an additional 5 points. You can guess the theme anytime. You don't have to wait until all 10 lyrics have been guessed.

    Just post your answers in this thread. First person to get each lyric gets the points.

    Here are your first 10.

    1. I've had my share of sand kicked in my face, but I've come through

    2. I'm worst at what I do best. And for this gift, I feel blessed.

    3. Well since my baby left me. I've found a new place to dwell.

    4. Don't know if I'm comin' up or down. Am I happy or in misery?

    5. You're built like a car. You got a hubcap

    6. Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter or Mars

    7. Being good isn't always easy. No matter how hard I tried.

    8. Passion, Instant, Sweat me, Feel me.

    9. You know that it would be untrue. You know that I would be a liar

    10. He said, 'Lets make love on a mountain top, under the stars on a big hard rock'.

    Steve

    PS. I'm away on business until Friday evening, so I'll come look see how many you got then.

    Being online when a new game goes up is a definite advantage. I'll try to ensure I post them at different times during the day to try to even it up a little.

    (And Franck will still get to each one first! )

    Steve

    PS. Oh yeah, and that's 3 points to Franck. Taking an early lead!

    One point to Graham. The version I was looking for was The Doors (just to help you with the theme).

    Well done Graham and Franck.

    Yes, the theme is that all the artists/singers (if a group) are dead.

    More than a woman - Ayalah
    I'm giving you this one Franck, cos I'm assuming you meant Aaliyah!! I'm not sure I should be so forgiving on such bad spelling in future (comments please Heather!)

    So, scores are:
    Franck 6
    Graham 6
    CJ 1

    There's still 2 points left available for title and band of lyrics 2 and 5. And I'll put up the next round Friday evening. It'll be harder next time!!

    Steve

    Oooh, and I wouldn't be married to a grunge singer if I didn't recognise (kinda) Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana!

    Okie. Apologies for the delay in putting up round 2. But here it is....

    1. I'm goin' back in time and it's a sweet dream,
    It was a quiet night and I would be alright if I could go on sleeping.

    2. That this love I have inside is everything it seems.
    But for now I find it's only in my dreams.

    3. Soon we two are standing still in time
    If you read my mind, you'll see

    4. Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
    I dream at night I can only see your face

    5. Circus life
    Under the big top world

    6. You keep me standing tall
    You help me through it all

    7. And if by chance, that special place
    That you've been dreaming of

    8. For the morning sun in all it's glory,
    Meets the day with hope and comfort too,

    9. I'll get to you somehow
    'Cause I promise now

    10. We saw the writing on the wall
    As we felt this magical fantasy

    Same rules. 1 point for getting the song name, along with the singer/group that I had in mind, and then 5 points for getting the theme.....

    Take it away folks!

    Steve

    PS. Please do not start looking for the lyrics on the internet straight away. Anyone could do that, get all 10 songs easily, and ruin the game. The idea is to recognise the song lyrics yourself...
