The Prof's Lyric Round 25/9/2010

[Profondo Rosso]

One for you insomniacs...


1. “We shall walk and talk in gardens all misty and wet with rain.”
2. “Beside defying media too fast, instead of pushing palaces to fall.”
3. “Where are the arms that held me and pledged her love before?”
4. “We're not scare mongering, this is really happening.”
5. “Touch my shoulder and ignore my dumb mission and sick red faced smile.”
6. “I have cursed, bled and sworn, jumped bail and landed up in jail.”
7. “Thinking about what a friend had said, I was hoping it was a lie.”
8. “Jesus and his lawyer are coming back.”
9. “I was swimming in the Caribbean, animals were hiding behind the rocks.”
10. “Maybe you wonder where you are, I don’t care.”
11. “It’s the smiling on the package, it’s the faces in the sand.”
12. “You make a grown man cry, spread the oil, the gasoline.”
13. “I ain’t gonna do you wrong because I don’t wanna.”
14. “A bushy, bushy, blonde hairdo.”
15. “The sun doesn’t go down, it’s just an illusion caused by the world spinning round.”

I think the broad spectrum has increased its appeal.

Clearly. I'm surprised Jeff didn't go for #5 and #6 at least...

“You make a grown man cry, spread the oil, the gasoline.”

Rolling Stones - Start Me Up.

 

[Ian Marshall]

Wow. I only know two of them (Interpol - already got anyway) and number 1. Track 5 is pretty much definitely by The Fall (or else they've covered it) but I'm at a complete loss as to the name of the track.

Track number 1 is called Sweet Thing or something similar and I quite recently heard a Van Morrison version after always thinking it was a Jeff Buckley song. It could well, of course, be by someone else completely, but there we are. Good song.

Aside from that, I'm completely stumped by that lot.

I think this would've worked better if I'd put a bunch of Magnetic Fields b-sides down...
