It’s been the better part of a decade since I’ve posted one of these, but let’s see if this gets any response. The rules are simple:
Below are 10 random lyrics. Guess the song and artist in the comments if you know them. Don’t cheat by looking them up.
Heavenly wine and roses seem to whisper to me when you smile
“Sweet Jane” by Cowboy Junkies (guessed by Chris McLaren)I’m not a present for your friends to open
“Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” by Elton John (guessed by Glen)- Then I’ll try my best to make everything succeed
“What Is Life” by George Harrison I said, “Okay, but let’s discuss this at the hospital”
“Free” by Florence + the Machine (guessed by Jordan)- I’m the last chick standing up against the wall
“That’s Not My Name” by the Ting Tings - I love the light, I love the changing season
“The Man You Are in Me” by Janis Ian - And the driver says, “You don’t know where this bus is going to?”
“Stay on the Ride” by Patty Griffin - And all we could do is sing, drink and dance
“222” by Those Darlins - Oh, I can’t take another heartache
“Cruel to Be Kind” by Nick Lowe - You tear men down like Roger Moore
“You Know I’m No Good” by Amy Winehouse
Whatever happens, I’ll post the answers and the playlist next week. Good luck!
Oo! #2, I think, is “Good-bye Yellow Brick Road,” by Elton John. And #9 is one I’m going to kick myself for once I know the answer.
#10 is ringing a very quiet bell, but otherwise I’ve got nothing.
#4 is “Free” by Florence and the Machine!
That first one is Sweet Jane. I hear it in Margo TImmins’ voice, but I guess you could have been listening to the original or some other, lesser cover.
