First-liners

[morgaine_x]

Having spent the morning bitching & moaning, a cool-out is required, so...

1. Every time I think of you/I always catch my breath (Missing You, John Waite, by samae)

2. The only one I know, has come to take me away (The Only One I Know, the Charlatans, by ninebelow and susumu)

3. See I reckon you're about an 8 or a 9 (Fit But You Know It, the Streets, by ninebelow)

4. I loved you for a long, long time (Ain't No Cure for Love, Leonard Cohen, by yaaresse)

5. Not a day goes by I don't think about you
The Ryans and the Pittmans a.k.a. We'll Rant and We'll Roar, Great Big sea et al, by wingedelf)

7. City girls just seem to find out early (Lyin' Eyes, the eagles, by samae)

8. Somewhere out in the back of your mind (Room's on Fire, Stevie Nicks, by yaaresse)

9. He was sitting in the lounge of the Empire Hotel (Raised on Robbery, Joni Mitchell, by yaaresse) [def. my favourite Joni]

10. Hell is gone and heaven's here (Let Me Entertain You, Robbie Williams, by ninebelow)

11. Is it worth it, a new winters coat and shoes for the wife (Shipbuilding, Robert Wyatt (and others), by ninebelow)

12. Well I thing we've got a problem here

2. The Charlatans - The Only One

3. The Streets - Fit But You Know It

10. Robbie Williams - Let Me Entertain You

11. Robert Wyatt - Shipbuilding (possibly Elvis)

13. New Order - Regret (I think you've had that one before)

[morgaine-x.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, yes, yes - it was the Suede cover I have, actually - and yes!

[morgaine-x.livejournal.com]

And I think you're right about "Regret".

[susumu.livejournal.com]

2. Charlatans, The Only One I Know

13. New Order.... scanning memory for track name.... still scanning.... Regret?

[morgaine-x.livejournal.com]

Yes & yes, but you were beaten to the buzzer on #2.

[susumu.livejournal.com]

I'd started answering before he posted!

[morgaine-x.livejournal.com]

Prove it - I can't see from here!

[ninebelow.livejournal.com]

I'd started answering before I'd posted too. Do you want a prize or something?

[susumu.livejournal.com]

Equal credit will do ;)

[ninebelow.livejournal.com]

*shakes fist at susumu, morgaine_x and the whole damn world*

[morgaine-x.livejournal.com]

But-but-but - I gave you first credit!

[ninebelow.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[morgaine-x.livejournal.com]

Actually, on #13 also... ;)

1. John Waite, Missing You, I hate that song.

7. Eagles something - Lying Eyes? I'm singing the song out loud here now

14. Billy Joel, Piano Man

[morgaine-x.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes & yes.

Any reason why do you hate it? I have a real soft spot for it, somehow.

[samae.livejournal.com]

I always have hated him - voice just rubs me wrong. Will loves it and I always turn it off when it's on the radio and he turns it back and I turn it off and well - I always win though :)

[morgaine-x.livejournal.com]

I always win though

Doesn't surprise me one bit.

[ladylizbet.livejournal.com]

1. Missing you. Don't know who sang it though...

10. Let me entertain you - Robbie williams

[morgaine-x.livejournal.com]

Correct, but beaten to the buzzer...

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Failing completely, but I am now stuck with
"I was sitting in the Hollywood Hyatt Hotel, I was listening to the air-conditioner hum" in my head.

[pshtaku.livejournal.com]

desparados under the eaves - warren zevon - even I know that!

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

I don't think you get credit though!

[yaaresse.livejournal.com]

Agh...I'm so slow today. Took me a minute to realize what you were doing. *reaches for more coffee*
4. Leonard Cohen - Ain't no Cure
8. Is it Stevie Nick's Rooms on Fire? I love that song!
9 Joni Mitchell - Raised on Robbery


6??? It's a song? I thought it was a line from Arsenic and Old Lace. (need to rent that again. Haven't watched it this year yet.)

[morgaine-x.livejournal.com]

# 4, 8 & 9 are right and yes, 6 is a song.

[yaaresse.livejournal.com]

Now you've done it!

*digging out Stevie Nicks cd*

I now have an undeiable craving to hear both Rooms on Fire and Cry Wolf. God help any customers who come in while this is playing because I do insist on singing along.....

[wingedelf.livejournal.com]

6. "Rant and Roar" (more properly "The Ryans and the Pitmans") - Great Big Sea

15. "Burning Wheel" - Primal Scream

Wow, there's diversity for you. I think i scared myself.

[morgaine-x.livejournal.com]

You're scared? They're on my iPod! - both correct, of course.

[wingedelf.livejournal.com]

Was 12 from My Dying Bride? Looks vaguely familiar, but i couldn't pin it down to a song.

[ninebelow.livejournal.com]

Ha! I always thought the Primal Scream lyric was "I'm anesthetised".
