I'll take a break from the busy life of a NaNoWriMo novelist to put up another lyrics quiz, still based on my favourite song tapes. Song lyrics mostly from memory, which may explain any inaccuracies.
1.
I hope when you're grown up, one day you'll see
That your parents are people and that's all we can be
2.
I remember all the times when I tried so hard
And you laughed in my face 'cause you held the cards
3.
There's something due any day, I will know right away soon as it shows
It may come cannonballing down through the sky, gleam in its eye, bright as a rose
4.
There's a special kind of person
Sometimes she's not all she seems
5.
I went out one spring morning to find myself a friend
Someone I could believe in until the very end
6.
So onward go and Edward ho into the bounding main
Enjoy the show look out below but mind the misty sea
Mr. Me
7.
Desperate and selfish, I know that I was
We drank all our fill but I'd swear there was poison in my cup
8.
I sit on the edge of my bed hoping that something
Will take me down to tinsel town road
9.
If you smiled, the walls would fall down on all the people in this pickup joint
But if you laughed, you'd level this town; hey lonely girl, that's just the point
Live It Up
10.
I decided to send everybody else home, deceitfully
I was starting to act like the host of a game show on daytime TV
11.
These things that I've been told can rearrange my world
My doubt in time but inside out
The Working Hour
12.
Touch down in a difference place, white eyes look round
On the devil and the deep blue sea one sun beats down
13.
I was up all night, socializing
Trying to keep this latent depression from crystallizing
14.
Miss Depression walked through my door
Opened loving arms and opened loving legs, homeless in Winnipeg
Believe
15.
Is the room ready for Barry?
Is the room ready for Barry?
16.
Promises, promises, why don't you keep them?
Save it for someone who will believe them
17.
Hush, little baby, go to sleep; look out the window and count the sheep
That dot the hillsides in the fields of wheat as we cross America
18.
I could only hope for a stolen moment of her thoughts
Between the walk to the club and all the drinks she'll have
Valerie Loves Me
19.
All that summer we enjoyed it, wind and rain and shine
That umbrella we employed it, by August she was mine
Bus Stop
20.
You've been making journeys with a timelord on the sly
Slipping off together just when I have closed my sleepy eyes
21.
Put on a gown that touches the ground
Float on a river forever and ever
22.
Out of my throat appears this chuckle
A true twentiety-century sound, a little crazed and having no tonal centre
23.
We vacation by immersion in our filthy demon sea
You know the only things we like are paranoid sex and childish greed
