Here ya go! The last bit is one of my favorite lyrics. To quote a friend of mine, "I had a girlfriend like that once."

It was you, it was me
And we would last forever
Any fool could see that we were meant to be

Without you, there is no meaning to my life
You're gone and it cuts me like a knife
How could you leave me?

. . .

Why did you turn away
Let your love fade away and die
You became so cold, you made me feel so old

When you left, you broke my heart
And just to see
How many pieces there would be
After you leave me

Even while cheating (via Google), it took me longer than it should have:

Yngwie Malmsteen - You Dont Remember

By the way, without Google, I don't think anyone was getting this one. Please no alien abductions...
 
You say : "'Ere thrice the sun done salutation to the dawn"
And you claim these words as your own
But I've read well, and I've heard them said
A hundred times (maybe less, maybe more)
If you must write prose/poems
The words you use should be your own
Don't plagiarise or take "on loan"
'Cause there's always someone, somewhere
With a big nose, who knows
And who trips you up and laughs
When you fall

Anybody? I can drop a hint if that would get people guessing.
 
Cemetry Gates - The Smiths

Yes, I cheated and checked some lyrics.

How about:

Early to bed
Early to rise

Makes a man or woman
Miss out on the night life

how 'bout:

What can this strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
Its got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this thing be that I found?

See how it sings like a sad heart
And joyously screams out its pain
Sounds that build high like a mountain
Or notes that fall gently like rain

Rush off of 2112.

Morphine. Great band. I saw them live before Mark died, and he did a lot of spoken word stuff that was relatively...interesting.
 
Okay, my turn:

Well, like a bad penny you have turned up again,
You're in my sights, there's a mist on my lens.
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell,
Well, you double-dealed me, baby, I cracked like a shell.

No Googling!

That one any self respecting Irishman should know. Rory Gallagher Bad Penny.
 
A mother sings a lullaby to a child
Sometime in the future the boy goes wild
And all his nerves are feeling some kind of energy

A walk in the woods and I will try
Something under the trees that made you cry
It's so erotic when your make up runs

I got wiring loose inside my head
I got books that I never, ever read
I got secrets in my garden shed
I got a scar where all my urges bled
I got people underneath my bed
I got a place where all my dreams are dead

Just got an idea... post some lines from a song, and we guess what song and artist it is.

You are not allowed to use search engines to look for the lines. Doing so will result in alien abduction with painful probing activities in certain body cavities, as well as mandatory front row seat participation (earplugs not allowed) at the next Britney Spears show.

Here we go!



Now, what song is that?

Don't cheat!

The person who gets it right continues with new song lines. Don't make it too obscure or I suspect the alien probing tools will come out. :D

Hehe this was fun...easy, though. But I guess I'm late to this thread...so on to the last post I go...

Blackest Eyes by Porcupine Tree. I love that song.
 
Didn't want to give away too much here, so I made an edit...

--

Come around to my way of thinkin'
Don't you want to, want to get along?
Everyday just like a vacation with you
When I'm watchin' you and Fidel Castro in the sand, kissin'!

Girl you got to roll
(redacted)
Overthrow
(redacted)

She's comin on like a bicycle army
Everybody's waitin' for the man to come down from the tower
Every day is just like a vacation with you layin' right here now
I'm watchin you and Fidel Castro in the sand, assassin!

"Sister Havana" by Urge Overkill. Great tune, great album.

I suppose I need to come up with one now . . .

OK, here's a track by a great band before they started sucking:

I never needed love before
Till I met you, girl
A girl like you I have never seen
You came into my life like a whirlwind, girl
You let me know what lovin' really means

[Refrain]

You got me where you want me, girl
So no messin' around
You know I never played that hard to please
I've been here many times before
And walked this sacred ground
But this time you got me on my knees
You got me

[Refrain]

Since I seem to have ground this thread to a halt (again), I'll give some hints. This band was originally considered by some (although probably not me) to be a part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. This song is off their second album. Their fourth album sold a bajillion copies but unfortunately pushed the band into the realm of pop where they've remained ever since. Nevertheless, their second and third albums remain classics in my mind.

I didn't think this song was that obscure, but maybe I'm wrong. I heard it a lot in early high school.

Well, I already googled for it, so I'm out of the running. If it helps, I wouldn't really call them heavy metal. I like them, however -- even the pop stuff.
 
Too hard. Saxon? They'r enot pop nowadays though. I don't know many others off that time. Diamondhead? Nope...
 
OK, I'll surrender. It's "Lady Strange" by Def Leppard off "High 'N' Dry." And yes, some people lump them in with the NWoBHM. How about this one from a very well known metal singer indeed. Probably his most maudlin song.

Yesterday has been and gone
Tomorrow will I find the sun
Or will it rain
Everybody's having fun
Except for me I'm the lonely one
I live in shame

[Chorus]

I've been the king
I've been the clown
No broken wings can hold me down
I'm free again
The jester with a broken crown
It won't be me this time around
To love in vain

I'm going to feel stupid if this is way off, but isn't that Goodbye to Romance by Mr. John Osbourne?

Well, I did hear Randy playing guitar as soon as I'd read about six words, so I was somewhat confident of my answer, although I didn't think I actually knew the lyrics to that song that well.

I guess that makes it my turn. Hmmm...

And if you're feeling lucky... come and take me home
And if you feel loved
If you feel lucky, if you feel loved
If you feel lucky, if you feel loved

You've crossed the walls - Excelled
Further along through their hell
All for my heart, I watch you kill
You always have, you always will
Now spread your wings and sail out to me...

Hopefully not too easy, nor too hard. Good luck!
