Lyrics quiz! →[More:]
An eclectic mix of oldies.

1. It was a difficult delivery, now it’s growing up mean and strong

2. Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking

3. Legs up with a book and a drink

4. The smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia

5. I had everything I needed to get me killed

6. You try to put on those airs and act real cool

7. But I dined all alone

8. Under the cities lies a heart made of ground

9. Gonna hang me up in your doorway

10. I bring life and I can take you there

Wimpdork is #1!

LT, I knew you'd get that one. I'd have been disappointed if anyone else had answered it, my fellow Squeeze-ee.

And yes, to wimpdork.

Darnit! I knew #3! I also love Squeeze, fwiw!

9 Can't Get Enough - Bad Company

posted by rocket88 19 February | 16:51

Rocket88 is right.

I believe #4 is 'Summertime,' and I believe it was still 'DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince' in those days.

posted by box 19 February | 20:05

#4 is right.

So, we have correct answers to:

2, 3, 4, 6, 8 & 9.

1, 5, 7 and 10 to go.

10 makes me think of Madonna's "Like A Prayer", but I don't think that's it.

posted by DarkForest 20 February | 08:37

No it's not, DarkForest. It's by an English band.
