Once again, the Friday Random Guess 10:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. “The city’s aflood, and our love turns to rust”<\/s>
    “Where the Streets Have No Name” by U2, guessed by Kim<\/li>\n
  2. “Let me tell you every thought that I’ve come to”<\/s>
    “Genetic” by Sonic Youth, guessed by Eric<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. “Sometimes I think of my baby in Michigan.”<\/s>
    “The Road” by Tenacious D, guessed by Kim and     John<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. “Can you raise both your hands and clap ’em?”<\/s>
    “Mickey Mouse” by Sparks, guessed by     Eric<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. “I looked into you eyes and I could see that National Health eyeball”<\/s>
    “You’ll Be Mine” by the Beatles, guessed by Kim<\/li>\n
  6. “It’s a figure of speech when some artists start to teach”<\/s>
    “Hear No Bullshit” by Chumbawamba featuring Credit to the Nation, guessed by     Eric<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. “You know I took some lumps when the Mighty Case struck out”<\/s>
    “Centerfield” by John Fogerty, guessed by     Betty<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. “Understand we’ll go hand-in-hand, but we’ll walk alone in fear.”<\/s>
    “Where Do We Go From Here?” by the cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/i>, guessed by     Betty<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. “My bags are waiting in the next life”<\/s>
    “Readymade” by Beck, guessed by Kim<\/li>\n
  10. “Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go”<\/s>
    “You Never Give Me Your Money” by the Beatles, guessed by     Glen<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There’s just two left from last week’s lyrics<\/a>, and that’s #1 (“Sinaloa Cowboys” by Bruce Springsteen) and #7 (“Old Flames Can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t Hold a Candle to You” by Dolly Parton).<\/p>\n

    Incidentally, if the music industry has its way<\/a>, this whole thing could get a little tougher to do every week. Lyrics I don’t already know or can’t easily understand probably wouldn’t make the cut. Apparently, a number of record labels don’t want<\/i> you to know what their artists are singing about — unless, of course, you buy books of guitar tabs or sheet music from them directly. (Which makes me wonder, then, why they don’t make those books more readily available for purchase or download. And hey, what about all those thieving musicians who put copyrighted lyrics up on their own<\/i> websites?! Somebody in management needs to start crackin’ that whip a little more often, methinks.)<\/p>\n

    Anyway, best of luck guessing this week’s lyrics.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
