Lyrics challenge! →[More:]

1. I've kicked the habit / Shed my skin

2. I'm aware of where you go / Each time you leave my door

3. I got this fucking thorn in my side

4. There are two colours in my head

5. Then it looks so real I can see it

6. He has no time for farmer's daughters

7. You told me I could order the moon, babe
8. I said I must be fine cause my heart's still beating

9. See the danger, always danger

10. I just can't believe the loveliness of loving you

3. Everything in its right place - Radiohead

10. Sugar, Sugar - umm, some fake band? Sorry, had to google the name so I'll give someone else a chance to guess.

I recognize most of the lyrics but I haven't had coffee yet.

Damn, what a sweep! Yep, all of those are correct.

OK, next time y'all get BP's Special Impossible Edition, I'm warning you. :)

Still remaining: 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, and band name on 10 (that should be a gimme).

WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU KIDS LISTENING TO TODAY?!?!?!? I DO NOT RECOGNIZE ANY OF THOSE LINES!

Heh heh... two of the selections this time around were from the 1960s, danf. And one (I'm pretty sure) from the 70s.

John the Fisherman, by Primus.

For those of us on livejournal, we do this here. If you can't get enough on MetaChat, give it a shot.

Right on number 6

posted by BoringPostcards 10 March | 11:36

About 45 minutes before I have to leave... any guesses on 5, 7, and 9? Should I give hints/more lines?

posted by BoringPostcards 10 March | 12:50

OK, I'm about outta here for the day (will be at my mom's tonight, with only sporadic web access), so the remaining three are:

#5 - "Why Can't I Touch It?" by the Buzzcocks

#7 - "Letter From An Occupant" by New Pornographers

#9 - "Atmosphere," by Joy Division

posted by BoringPostcards 10 March | 13:39

I just got here and was all excited because no one had gotten #9 yet, and then I scrolled to the bottom and saw that you had already given away the answer. This is clearly not my day :(

If you can remember the '60s ...
