Lyric Test

[Goldenboko]

Alright here's a game I thought up.

I put up lyrics from a song and you name the song and the band. (Half points if you can only get the song, or only get the band)

-Point System-
I start with only a few lines which is worth 10 points if you get it right.

If noone gets if before 3 incorrect answers

Then I put up more (probably half) and you get 5 points if you get it right.

If noone gets if before 3 incorrect answers

Then I put up all of the lyrics and you get 2.5 points.

And if noone gets it right after 3 more in correct answers then no points and different lyrics are put up.

-Song 1-
-Lyrics #1-
They’re gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you,son
So they can watch all the things you do

Ready...
Set...
Go!

PS- If noone guesses on a song for more then 2 days I'll take it as noone knew it.

On the ground I lay
Motionless in pain

Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare

-Song Four-
-Lyrics one-

Here I stand, helpless and left for dead.
Close your eyes, so many days go by.
Easy to find what's wrong, harder to find what's right.

[Enjolras]

I do believe thats lyrics from 'Dance with the Devil' by Breaking Benjamin. Am I right?

[I Don't Need A Name]

why dont you make it so that if the person answers correctly, they post the lyrics, so then we dont have to wait till you come online

[Shoeberto]

why dont you make it so that if the person answers correctly, they post the lyris, so then we dont have to wait till you come online
Yes, plus that makes sure we get some variety in the lyrics, at least.

[Goldenboko]

Yes.

why dont you make it so that if the person answers correctly, they post the lyris, so then we dont have to wait till you come online

Thats a good idea.
That makes the next song up for grabs.

[4evarisha]

When your chips are down
and it seems like its so hard for
you to move ahead just know that
I am by your side

[Shoeberto]

Danity Kane - Ride For You

"So when I'm comin' through your neighborhood
You better duck
'cuz Ice Cube
Is crazy as fuck
When I leave
Believe I'm stompin'
But when I'm coming back, boy
I'm comin' straight outta" etc.

[blim]

Straight outta compton - NWA

assuming im right

If it was right to be believing,
and write his name in blood
and then i met him when i died,
well i'd have it out with god
but if it means
degrading scenes
and sanctioning crusade
i'd know we couldnt stand man to man
without feeling afraid

[chrisfffan]

do i have to guess the lyrics or post some for people to guess?

[Martyr]

Guess! Quick! Before you post lyrics!
If you guess wrong, blim will win, and the world will be washed over with darkness.
Darkness never gets me very clean

I would look up the lyrics to this online, but that seems like cheating.

[Doomie]

Roy Harper is the singer. I can't remember the name of the song though.

[Momiji]

Seeing that there hasn't been a reply here for a few hours, I'm assuming it's up for grabs?

"There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn
There's a scream in your voice
And I hope you will be heard
There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn
Until you're heard, you're heard"

You guys better not be googling this. I mean, what's the point then?
(Note: I've known 90% of these so far without having to look.)

[Mythra]

Seventeen Ain't So Sweet by the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus ;)

k, for mine:

"Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again
The dawn of a new day never looked
As good as this"

[blim]

Im impressed Scar tissue. i didn't think anyone on here would know Roy Harper. The song was called "IF" from the album "Once" check it out anyone who likes acoustic folk type stuff.

btw dawn of a new day by In flames

The higher the monkey can climb
The more it shows its tail
Aint no man happy til he dies
Theres no water in the bottom of the pail

(apologies for being deliberately fairly obscure)

EDIT: As no one has got that yet (Tom Waits- Misery is the river of the world) I'll do an easier one instead,

I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said "You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"

I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair

P.S. can i have 10 points cos no one got the original one
P.P.S. my next one is going to be really hard

[Goldenboko]

Alright noone's going to get this making the next set of lyrics up for grabs.

[fire_of_avalon]

blim's song is "Who Are You?" by The Who.

I'll edit this in a minute with lyrics.

EDIT:
"Don't need a reason to do the things that I do
No need to impress you, just wanna undress you.
I really love your shoes, you still kick Kangaroos,
And the way you comb your hair like it's 1982."

[Rase]

I believe that's How We Do, but I'm drawing a total blank on the artist. :-/

[fire_of_avalon]

You got the title right, and I would give you hints on the artist if I could think of one that wouldn't give it away.

[Goldenboko]

Rase gets 5 points then...

Score so far...

Next set of lyrics is up for grabs.

[Jebus]

All right. I'll go then. *nods*

Lifting the mask from a local clown
Feeling down like him
Seeing the light in a station bar and
Traveling far in sin
Sailing downstairs to the northern line
Watching the shine of the shoes
Hearing the trials of the people there
Who's to care if they lose

[Momiji]

All right. I'll go then. *nods*

Lifting the mask from a local clown
Feeling down like him
Seeing the light in a station bar and
Traveling far in sin
Sailing downstairs to the northern line
Watching the shine of the shoes
Hearing the trials of the people there
Who's to care if they lose

"Parasite" by Nick Drake.

And think, I wouldn't know that if you hadn't sent his whole Pink Moon album to me. ^^


Anyway, my turn.

"This sweet disaster
A thorn in my tongue
We’re burning bridges
And building new ones
The best of both worlds
Quarters my heart
We’re no exception
You’ll both have my love"

[Momiji]

Okay, it's been long enough. The song was "Your 8x10 Falls Victim to My Pen" by Asteria.

Next one!

"It's these substandard motels
On the corner of Fourth and Fremont Street
Appealing only 'cause they're just that unappealing
Any practiced Catholic would cross themselves before entering"

[blim]

Panic at the disco - Build God, then we'll talk

tricky one now (i think) , good luck

Who needs lobotomy when we've got the ITV?
Who needs ECT when there's good old BBC?
Switch on the set, light up the screen,
Fantasise and dream about what you might have been,
Who needs controlling when they've got the cathode ray?
They've got your f***ing soul, now they'll fuse your brains away.
Mindless f***ing morons sit before the set,
Being fed the mindless rubbish they deserve to get.
Can't switch off big brother, they've lost all will to act,
Lost in drab confusion, was it fiction, was it fact?
Another plastic bullet stuns another Irish child,
But no-one's really bothered, no, the telly keeps them mild.
They've lost all sense of feeling to the every hungry glow,
Drained of any substance by the vicious telly blow.
No longer know what's real or ain't, slowly going blind,
They stare into the goggle box while the world goes by, behind.
The Angels are on T.V. tonight, grey puke f***ing s***.
The army occupy Ireland, but the boot will never fit

[Momiji]

Panic at the disco - Build God, then we'll talk



Correct.

[blim]

No answer in three days, does that mean i win. (or everyone else got bored)

[Goldenboko]

No answer in three days, does that mean i win. (or everyone else got bored)

No. This test never said anything about giving points for Lyrics that nobody could figure out... in fact, posting Lyrics like that takes the fun out of the game cause no one else gets to go and the thread just sits there...

Next set of Lyrics up for grabs.

[blim]

It's not my fault no-one on here listens to Crass (the song was nineteen eighty bore)

[Rengori]

I'll take it.

Your daddy works in porno
now that mommy's not around.
She used to love her heroine,
but now she's underground
So you stay out late at night
and you do your coke for free
driving you friends crazy with
your life's insanity

[Martyr]

G&R!
Crud! What's the song?
My Michelle, yes?

if so...

Wrap me up in always, and drag me in with maybes
Your innocence is treasure, your innocence is death
Your innocence is all I have
Breathing under water, and living under glass, and

If you spin your love around
The secrets of your dreams
You may find your love is gone
And is not quite what it seemed
To appear to disappear
Beneath all your darkest fears

[Rengori]

Yeah, that was correct.

[oddler]

Thru the Eyes of Ruby - The Smashing Pumpkins

Baby don't follow their lead
'Cause you'll never know
Just how the story ends or how the story goes and
You are so confused and
Baby it's just like you to say anything else
