"It was then that Delirium noticed that she had absentmindedly transformed herself into a hundred and eleven perfect, tiny, multicolored fish. Each fish sang a different song. And as she put herself back together again, unable for the moment to remember whether the silver flecks went in the blue eye or the green one, she decided that a dog would be a nice thing to have. And then it occurred to her that there had been a dog around at some point, hadn't there? A nice doggie. And she went off to look for it, trailing occasional fish..." - Neil Gaiman, Sandman: The Kindly Ones

Another really good week for guessing last week, with again only one lyric left at the end. Can we try for just as well, or better, this week?

  1. “All Day and All of the Night” by the Kinks, guessed by Generik
    The only time I feel all right is by your side
  2. “Dear God” by XTC, more or less guessed by Glen
    You’re always letting us humans down
  3. “Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh” by Say Hi to Your Mom
    I got something I think I really wanna do right now
  4. “Breathe” by Pink Floyd, guessed by Clayton
    Dig that hole, forget the sun
  5. “Falling Slowly” by Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová, guessed by Kim
    I don’t know you, but I want you all the more for that
  6. “Gotta Serve Somebody” by Bob Dylan, guessed by Occupant
    You may call me R.J., you may call me Ray
  7. “No Sleep ‘Til Brooklyn” by the Beastie Boys, guessed by Kim
    He’s got his own room at the back of the bus
  8. “Mother and Child Reunion” by Paul Simon, guessed by Kim
    But it just don’t work out that way
  9. “Gravity” by the Dresden Dolls
    Honest to god, officer, it’s awful
  10. “No Compassion” by Talking Heads
    Takes a lot of time to push away the nonsense

Good luck!

    4 - Breathe - Pink Floyd

    I’m still ashamed of myself for mis-identifying Eclipse last week. I’ve listened to that album too many times to make that kind of mistake…

    #2 looks to be “Dear God,” possibly by Joan Osborne?

    I think you may have it slightly confused with Osborne’s “One of Us.”
