Guess the Song: It’s been a while
Like the title says, it’s been a while so, in honor of the three day weekend and our nation’s birthday, we’re trotting out an old favorite. Songs are from my ipod on shuffle — You get to guess the lyric, googling is cheating and you’re better than that, aren’t you? Post your guesses in the comments. Let’s roll.
1. And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you’re in starts playing different tunes
Ill see you on the dark side of the moon
2. The glass is cut
The bottle run dry
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night
3. Oh. To fight is to defend
If it’s not now then tell me when
Would be the time
That you would stand up and be a man
4. You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We’re doing what we can
5. And maybe you can cry all night
But that’ll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn’t make me leave here
6. I get the news I need on the weather report.
I can gather all the news I need on the weather report.
Hey, I’ve got nothing to do today but smile.
7. You keep your distance with a system of touch
And gentle persuasion
I’m lost in admiration could I need you this much
Oh, you’re wasting my time
You’re just wasting time
8. G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD’d on Drano on the night that he was wed
9. And when there’s nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
These changes ain’t changing me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be
10. It happened one summer
It happened one time
It happened forever
For a short time
As always, thanks to Apropos of Something
OMG! Where’d you get the image? I love it! Can I use it? I’ll track you back!
Sure! Go ahead — but I can’t take credit for it. I found it one the web somewhere and resized it for my own using. Feel free.
Now I am horrible at this sort of thing…..but I think I know my U2. I really want to check Google but I am not going to. I would say that one song……if not two….are U2. But I am not going to say which ones for fear I’m a retard.
@Lisa
You are correct! One of the songs is U2… but which one?
#2. It is one of my favs from Rattle and Hum.
1. Pink Floyd – Brain Damage
2. U2 – Red Hill Mining Town (Joshua Tree, not R&H, btw)
7. Tears for Fears – Head Over Heels
9. The Killers – All These Things That I Have Done
four out of ten is not good …
@Kristen M.
Four for four. Well done!
I don’t know if you’ve finished these already but I only saw 4 answered. So here goes on a few of the others. #4 is the Beatles/Revolution, #8 is the Jim Carroll Band/People Who Died and #10 is One Summer by…the Motels?
Correct on all three — I’m going to give you #10 because I don’t think anyone else is going to get it — the title of the song is “Suddenly Last Summer”. Well done!
These are fun. You should post more!
