Name that tune.

Kate B??

 

Boho :dance:

 

Not even close - but another female solo artist who leaves long gaps between new releases

 

I've been trying to show you

Over and over...

 

Look at these, my child bearing hips

Look at these my ruby red, ruby lips

Look at these my work strong arms

You've got to see my bottle full of charms

 

I lay it all

at your feet

you turn around

and say back to me.................

No??

Alright, something a bit easier:

 

The world moves on a woman's hips

The world moves and it swivels and bumps

The world moves on a woman's hips

The world moves and it bounces and humps...

 

She

Is moving through this fragile world

She

Has messages for everyone

She

Is moving by remote control

Hands

Around her are invisible

 

L&P

 

BD :D

Okay here's my effort, probably far too easy for you all! :P

 

"Ever since I was a young boy

I've played the silver ball

From Soho down to Brighton

I must have played them all

But I ain't seen nothing like him

Pinball Wizard by the Who - Devon Mum did you think of that because you read on the paper today that they are going on tour?

 

Here's my lyrics:

 

 

Well we know where we're going

But we don't know where we've been

And we know what we're knowing

But we can't say what we've seen

And we're not little children

And we know what we want

And the future is certain

Give us time to work it out

No Zaman, don't read papers much, I just like the song.

I did wonder if I would get The Who or the more recent group that did it!

 

Anyhoo!

Talking heads ... Road to No where.

He did a google on it, cos I had to go put clean sheets on yet another wet bed! :(

And there was me thinking Peter Gabriel!!

I got 10 mins to look at the Saturday paper, and not only saw the Who are going on tour this year, but that someone's wife had chosen Road to Nowhere as the CD for him to listen to while having his vasectomy!

 

Haven't got a clue who your song is this time though . . .

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I know this one, and i didn't have to google it or anything :dance::dance::dance:

 

born to be wild by steppenwolf (sp??), fab tune!

 

eeerrrrrmmm.......right,

 

"now i'm so far away,

each step that i take's on my way home,

a king's ransom in dimes,

i'd give, each night, to see through this payphone.

still i run out of time, or it's hard to get through,

til that bird on the wire flies me back to you,

i just close my eyes (and whisper),

baby, blind love is true....."

 

one of my all time favourites :D

I have held the hand of a devil

It was warm in the night

U2, brings back fond memories of my old Astra mk 1... B)

 

I staggered back to the underground

And the breeze blew back my hair

I remember throwin' punches around

And preachin' from my chair.

 

CSI fans might get this one... :whistle:

Took me a while to get it cos the only words I know are

I really wanna know, who, who, who, who!

 

Oh um now I have to try to think of another one.... goes off to ponder a while...

 

Aha! I got one!

Try this one:

 

Is your figure less than Greek?

Is your mouth a little weak?

When you open it to speak, baby, are you smart?

My go then:

 

 

 

Hello to you out there in normal land

 

You'll never comprehend my dears, nor understand

 

As I walk by your window give me lucky looks

 

You can read my body but you'll never read my books...

The answers on this webpage. Not going to post it here as would be interest to see whether anyone gets the answer without looking. :)

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/ouch/yourspace/placebo.shtml

 

Check about half way down, in the first group of bold lyrics. It is the third line that BD quotes first.

 

Here is the rest of the lyrics the BBC gives incase you want a clue:

 

"I dribble when I nibble

And I quibble when I scribble

Hello to you out there in Normal Land

You may not comprehend my tale or understand

As I crawl past your window give me lucky looks

You can be my body but you'll never read my books."

 

Drag your mouse from here upwards, whilst holding down the left button, to read it. Decided that way don't give clues to anyone who doesn't want one. :) You can find all the lyrics on a link on the BBC site. But the link gives its name away and so does the title of the link on the BBC page.

Blimey! Well i never knowed it was so 'current affairs'!

I won't even ask how you know these songs. Makes me feel better about been able to quote Lindisfarne lyrics. :) My taste in music has always been a bit unusual. Not as weird as what your posting lyrics to though. :P:devil:

I expect you would understand. :)

 

When writing a reply you will notice that there is an A symbol with a solid black line under it. This allows you to change text colour. If you drag your mouse over (whilst holding down the left button) the text you want to change the colour of it will highlight it. Then you can click on that button and choose a colour. I just went with white as I decided that was a close enough match to the background colour on the forum.

 

See simple when you know how. :)

Never heard of them but as it was the artists names your right you do find them rather easily. Can't find any lyrics though. Damn might have to listen to all the tracks on myspace!

 

Fujiya & Miyagi

 

http://www.myspace.com/fujiyaandmiyagi

 

Well doesn't seem to be photocopier unless I'm not listening carefully enough!

 

Well that was lucky was on the second track I listened to. Almost missed it though as the music is much louder than the words. So the track is Ankle Injuries by Fujiya & Miyagi.

 

I thought I was going to have to listen to Collarbone and Transparent Things as well before finding out it was none of them!

 

Guess I could have a go. I'll see what I can find the lyrics to in my CD collection downstairs.

Okay found one:

 

"Well Liza said come on now boy, won't you marry me

I'll make you such a fine wife and raise your family

now take your ease my boy, I'll put whiskey in ya' jar

I'll just go down and get a gill from Harry Quinty's Bar

 

now with Liza gone I caught such a look from Martha's eye

she sat herself down next to me it was a great suprise

the way she turned and smiled with her hand upon my knee

oh dear mother of God now who's it gonna be

 

Liza with her hair so black and Matha's flaming red

how their hearts are with me still......"

 

Good luck.

As I think this was probably a bit too hard I'll give you a clue. I've mentioned the group who sing this in another one of my posts on here. Including a link to their website. I think that narrows it down to two groups for you from memory. The name of the song would be the next few words. Didn't find any lyrics when I looked though. There is an audio clip though that matches some of the lyrics I posted. ;)

Yes it's one of theirs. Do you know which one though? It is one of these:

 

http://www.thehappycats.com/musicdownloads.htm

 

Hint try the bottom half of the album list. Rather than the other random songs at the bottom.

 

EDIT: Incase anyone is interested it is 'The girls upon the hill.' If I ever have another go I promise to be kinder.
