The Lion's Share Lyric Quiz - July 2009
I used to think I had a pretty big record collection. I bought about 250 45 RPM singles, most of them during a 2 year period in high school. My collection of LPs eventually grew to somewhere between 400 and 500, plus a handful of cassettes. All told I probably had somewhere in the neighborhood of 5000 songs. I knew a few people with bigger music collections, but not many.
Compare that to what you see today. How many of you have more than 5000 tracks in your music libraries? How many of your friends do? From what I can tell, 5000 tracks isn't that big anymore.
So let's cut the shuck and jive and get on with the lyric quiz.
1
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes
Answered by littlebittysami.
2
Watch the jingle jangle start to chime
Reflections of the music that is mine
When you drop a coin you'll hear it sing
Answered by sumatrae.
3
He said I'll love you 'til I die
She told him you'll forget in time
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind
sumatrae got the artist and a "sort-of" variant of the title. ravensmusings got the title.
4
Where's the mini-skirt made of snake skin?
And who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen?
When did reality become TV?
Answered by sumatrae.
5
And when he drives me home, I feel safe at night
You call me on the phone, it goes ring ring ring ring-a-ring ring
Answered by sumatrae.
6
And I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
She could make me happy (happy, happy)
Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere
Answered by littlebittysami.
7
Bathing my memory's mind in the wetness of its soul
Feeling the amber current flowing from my mind
To warm an empty heart you left so cold
8
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
Answered by sumatrae.
9
When I'm out walking I strut my stuff
And I'm so strung out I'm high as a kite
I just might stop to check you out
Answered by pshaw_raven.
10
This, is our fork in the road, love's last episode
There's nowhere to go, oh no
You made your choice, now it's up to me
To bow out gracefully, though you hold the key
Answered by rrwolf.
11
Don't want your love anymore
Don't want your kisses, that's for sure
I die each time I hear this sound
Here he comes
Answered by littlebittysami.
12
The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again
One voice is clear above the din
Proud Aryan one word, my will to sustain
For me, the cloth once more to spin
Answered by calientra.
13
Women and girls rule my world
I say they rule my world
Act your age mama (not your shoe size)
Not your shoe size
Maybe we could do the twirl
Answered by sumatrae.
14
Now you're punching and you're kicking
And you're shouting at me
I'm relying on your common decency
Answered by sumatrae.
15
Ridin' the range once more
Totin' my old .44
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
16
He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator
And just use one hand
That's all he got left cuz the alligator bit it!
Answered by calientra.
17
It's Friday night and she's all alone
He's a million miles away
She's dressed to kill, but the TV's on
He's connected to the sound
18
I don't believe you, you're not the truth
No one could look as good as you
Mercy
Answered by pshaw_raven.
19
Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
sumatrae got the artist.
20
The first day on my vacation, I woke up. Then, I went downtown to look for a job. Then I hung out in front of the drugstore.
Answered by quickcasey.
21
There's a message in the wire
And I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
Answered by sumatrae.
22
I'm gonna find me a hole in the wall
I’m gonna crawl inside and die
’Cause my lady, now a mean old woman, Lord
Never told me goodbye
23
Another dark and empty night
If I was wrong I wanna make it right
But you are so distant, so far away
Your words like ice fall on the ground
Breaking the silence without a sound
24
Though it's a part of the lone star state
People don't seem to care
They just keep on looking to the east
Answered by sumatrae.
25
I never got a chance to see him
Never heard nothing but bad things about him
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
Answered by sumatrae.
26
That's him on his knees
I know that's him
Yeah, from 7 come 11
Down in the boys' gym
Answered by littlebittysami.
27
In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip
Answered by sumatrae.
28
Classic case of boy meets girl
Moving in the same direction
You're not asking for the world
I'm not asking for perfection
Answered by sumatrae.
29
Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
Answered by rrwolf.
30
Life is so strange when you don't know
How can you tell where you're going to?
You can't be sure of any situation
Something could change and then you won't know
Answered by ravensmusings.
31
Summer breeze makes you feel alright
Neon lights shining brightly make your brain ignite
See the girls with the dresses so tight
Give you love if the price is right
Answered by calientra.
