GRAND PRIZE LYRICS QUIZ!!

It looks like a fun bandwagon, so I’m jumping on it. Like [livejournal.com profile] verlaine, I can’t make proper LJ quizzes, so mail your results to deirdre at red-redemption dot com to be in for the GRAND PRIZE!!

(Well, a pint if you’re in this country, and if you’re not, we’ll work something out…)


1: ‘Do you think you’re better than the other kids? Well, get outside’

2: ‘You’d ring me in the morning, you’d page me in the night’

3: ‘She’ll hear me out and won’t easily be converted to my way of thinking, in fact she’ll often disagree’

4: ‘They’re shutting down the factory now, just when all the bills are due’

5: ‘And the world is drawn into your hands, and the world is etched upon your heart’

6: ‘When you walk without ease on these streets where you were raised’

7: ‘Two feet below the surface I can still make out your wavy face, and if I could just reach you maybe I could leave this place’

8: ‘Not for one second did you look behind you as you were walking away’

9: ‘You say it’s love that you need, but it’s war that you’ve got’

10: ‘I saw the best minds of my generation applied by magic marker to drywall’

11: ‘Even at 25, you’ve gotta start sometime’

12: ‘I wanna be reckless but I’m feeling so uptight’

13: ‘Your records are here, your eyes on my wall, your teeth are over there’

14: ‘Mom’s coming round to put it back the way it ought to be’

15: ‘Though seasons change, things come to pass, remain inside of me’

16: ‘Won’t you walk up and down my spine? It makes me feel strangely alive’

17: ‘Seems I keep getting this story twisted, so where’s Neil when you need him?’

18: ‘”Let’s go out tonight.” So we drank and danced, for once I felt close to you’

19: ‘A for effort and B for delivery’

20: ‘I had important things to say, can’t remember what they were’

Woohoo!

Damnit. I only know one of them. I'm not even sure I recognise any of the others ;-(

My usual score on these things... 1. And I can't even remember which track it is, just the band. But you know I know number 15 :)

I always assumed it was "A for effort and D for delivery", but I guess that's just my brain being strange.

I think I score 2 points, for recognising two bands which you probably acquired from my music collection. Can't name the songs though!

I only got one. Ah well!
