Another lyrics quiz
 

Had a think and rummaged in the CD collection. Some of the lyrics I verified online, but some are trickier to track down, so may be a word or two wrong. No cheating by Googling. If you want to "win" that badly, then you need to talk through your insecurities with a professional.

Continue the line and/or give the next line.

(1) Hanging out their old
(2) With your mohair suits
(3) Here, take my kleenex
(4) I was crowned with a spike
(5) The days were endless we
(6) See the mice in
(7) I wait for delivery each
(8) Pull your shoes off, lie down
(9) So you think you can love me
(10) You sit with your boots
(11) Ou sont tes idoles mal nesees, bien habillees
(12) Took your soul out
(13) Crazy skies all
(14) Let our love be a flame not
(15) You got your head all tangled up
(16) You have the kind of blood

3 - Wipe that lipstick away ?

If I'm right - which I think I am, I'm sad.

Re: Another lyrics quiz
 

(5) The days were endless we..were crazy we were young

Queen - These Are The Days Of Our Lives

I'll be honest and admit that I googled it :erm: I knew the tune and the song and got the 'were', I just couldn't get the rest of the words out :)

Re: Another lyrics quiz
 

(1) Hanging out their old

old love letters on the line to dry

Re: Another lyrics quiz
 

Chambece - correct. A man of taste :D

Nikko - wrong on (2). The line begins with "With", not she. Others are correct.

Iron25 - I'm appalled, but it's correct :D

Watchman - also correct.

So far...

(1) Town Called Malice - The Jam
(3) Suddenly Seymour - Little Shop of Horrors
(5) These Are the Days of Our Lives - Queen
(6) Life on Mars - Bowie
(9) Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

Few clues...

(2) Maybe an Elvis song?
(8) You thought crumbs were bad, but a rasher of bacon?
(10) Cross-dressing law evader?
(11) Electrolytes signature tune :D
(14) A love song for Graham to dance to?
(15) Impaled on a drumstick - terrible way to go.

14) Tom Lehrer?!

One of the world's finest and funniest ever lyricists..... but crikey, from another age!

Re: Another lyrics quiz
 

Yes. Just shows that not all mathematicians are boring :D But what's the song though?

Oh - bit more of a clue, but given that I like such material, there may be one or two similar "wacky" songs in the list...

Re: Another lyrics quiz
 

I recognise it but.... :(

Re: Another lyrics quiz
 

This sounds like "Those were the days of our lives" by Queen, but I don't know what the next line is.

... an ember, say it's me that you want to dismember!

- The Masochism Tango by Tom Lehrer :D

ADDENDUM: Ah, just read the rest of the thread...! ;)

Re: Another lyrics quiz
 

Yes - both correct. You only have to give the next line if I've given you a complete line already, or you want to show off :D

I first heard the Masochism Tango on "Friday Night is Music Night", and it was (and still is) laugh out loud funny :D
