The response to my last lyrics quiz was underwhelming, but I remain undaunted. Here's another set of lyrics from one of my favourite song tapes(skipping the instrumental, which I'll tell you for free is A Taste of Honey), try to guess them, no Googling, etc. This time I'm feeling no compulsion to use only first lines, since I often have trouble remembering them anyway.
1.
I don't ever want to play the part
Of a statistic on a government chart
Invisible Sun
2.
Who do you think you fool when you talk about us
Why do you walk on glass when you know it cuts
3.
Over there at the end of the bar
This fish keeps swimming in a jar
Don't Box Me In (feat. Stewart Copeland)
4.
I met someone at the dog show; she was holding my left arm
But everyone was acting normal so I tried to look nonchalant
She's An Angel
5.
For the well-to-do doctor, there's a home and a summer retreat
For the jet-setting banker, there's a place in the social elite
6.
I pulled out of traffic down a dark side street
She was fixing her hair in the mirror
Drive, She Said
7.
And while this room goes up in flames
We're gonna shake the pictures right out of their frames
Knock Things Over
8.
He likes to have the morning paper crossword solved
Words go up, words go down, forward, backward, twisted round
Train of Thought
9.
Come with me, into the trees
We'll lay on the grass, and let the hours pass
Stripped
10.
Struggling with your desires
Frozen strangers stealing your fire
11.
She ran him over like a bus but he seemed to feel no pain
Just lay there smiling like a flower in the rain
12.
I fell for you like a child
Oh, then the fire went wild
Ring of Fire
13.
Born of pride and frustration, under heavy sedation
Fought to be realistic, everyone pessimistic
Awake The Giant
14.
There's a time for feeling as good as we can
The time is now and there's no stopping us
Making Memories
15.
He was seven years in prison and just a few days free
When he came upon a lonesome little girl
16.
Yabba dabba who do you turn to when you're feeling left alone
You should take off what you're wearing and run wild with the buffalo
17.
So many people in the world don't even know who they are
Don't even know they're being had; I'm gonna wake them up
Blaze of Glory
18.
Here we are in a line, we have no axe to grind
Strong and most capable, quite unmistakable
19.
Who at his lady's command, who by his own hand
Who in mortal chains, who in power
Who By Fire
20.
Instead of listening to the music in your ears
Try singing to yourself
21.
Through teeth of sharks the Autumn barks
The Winter squarely bites me
22.
I can feel the heat, no one has to tell me
It's so good, once it starts I'll never let go
23.
She wrote me a letter as big as a phonebook
I've never been big on mail
