Isn't this the (oddly appropriately named for this forum) song "One Less Bell To Answer" by Fifth Dimension?

If it is, I'll come up with a lyric tomorrow, everyone can take a break

Yes, that's the one. It's supposed to be a sad song, but I always crack up when she starts singing like she's on edge of a nervous breakdown about how she has one less egg to fry. She should be happy now, right? Because it's just one egg now. Frying two eggs before was so much more work. And don't get her started about the pancakes.

Alright, it's almost midnight, so I'm just in time for my lyric snippet. Here goes (it's an easy one):

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

That's Superman by Five For Fighting.

Next one:

Hitched a ride on a monkey's back
Headed West into the black

Game on,

Sorry, forgot about this for a few days...that was Dizz Knee Land by dada. Funny song, check it out if you like amusing music.

Okay, here's another one, perhaps a little easier.

So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key

That would be Turning Japanese by The Vapors.

If that was too easy, here's a tougher one (so I'll give you several lines):

Albert's always sincere, he's a sensitive type
His intentions are clear, he wanna be well - liked
If everything is nothing, then are we anything?
Is it better to be better than to be anything?

Nice timing. I got the compilation a couple of days ago.
Counting Crows and Einstein On The Beach.

back to classic rock

Well the band were playing
And the booze began to flow
But the sound came over on the police car radio

That's 10CC and Rubber Bullets


Here's one that's both seasonal and could be used in Oneiromancer's sig. M is the male voice, F is the female voice:

M: I could have been someone...
F: Well so could anyone,
You took my dreams from me,
When I first found you
M: I kept them with me babe,
And put them with my own
Can't make it all alone,
I built my dreams around you

Wow, nobody got it. It was Fairy Tale of New York by The Pogues, and it's a very surprising holiday song. Someone else's turn!

I can't believe I didn't get this one sooner...

It's from the They Might Be Giants song "New York City"


Hmm...

Feels like you made a mistake
You made somebody's heart break
Now I have to let you go
I have to let you go

Wait, wait... the old or new?

I this this appears in One of My Kind by the Rogue Traders, and it's old INXS lyrics but I don't know what song. Damn me.

Oneiros will know it.

Er...who to the what now? I don't recognize the lyrics, but the only INXS song that has "One of My Kind" in it is actually called Need You Tonight. It's the one that is usually followed by the one song that in the video he had all those cards with words written on them.

Looking up DiMono's lyrics, you are way off. And I never would have got it. So someone else will have to try.

I looked at the first two lines, and realised I know where they were from - Disease by Matchbox Twenty, a song I thought was pretty samey. I like their old stuff but not their new stuff.

Nevertheless, I'll wait for confirmation. I think it would be really sad if I missed twice.

When I looked up the lyrics that's what the song was, so as far as I'm concerned you're correct.

No? The Sky Is Broken by Moby, who isn't known for his lyrics.

Okay then, let's go recent:

Have you ever seen the televised
St. Vitus subcommitee prize?

Bad Day by R.E.M.

Recent and a classic band. I thought it was up for sure.

I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Finally! A way to get the thread moving again

This one is Wonderwall by Oasis.

Let's hope for some quick revival.

Yeah, my left brain knows that a-love is fleeting

Original artist/group, please.

Bugger, I only know this as part of the Angry White Boy Polka. It's a bad thing when you can name a third of the components of that song, right?

And that's not even the right third to be looking at.

That is why I asked for the original.

Why, that would be Fell In Love With a Girl by The White Stripes. You should pick up a copy of Elephant, even though it's not the one with this song. That CD's great.

Oh, my turn... uh...

Left alone with big fat Fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman you made a bad boy out of me
