Friday Lyrics Challenge: Punk Rock Edition (some lyrics contain strong language→[More:]
1. A stare is worth a thousand biting phrases
2. She says her armpits are hairy 'cause it's natural, so why does she shave her head?
3. A perfect sense of direction ain't no use if you're going nowhere
4. You'll get old and have a wrinkled ass
5. That's all the languages we know, and anyway, we're from Canada
6. The captain's corpse jumped up and threw his arms around my neck
7. Are you prepared to die for your beliefs or just to dye your hair?
8. The young ladies and their secrets, in the soap that never ends
9. Princess Anne - do you masturbate whenever you can?
10. Malleable as luck allows faking all the ties

I tried not to be too obscure. Good luck!

I know that's a Jawbreaker song, but I can't for the life of me think of the title...

Save your breath, I never was one. You don't know what I'm all about.

#3, while it could be a Westerberg line, is from the Buzzcock's All Over You!

#1 Is The Dead Kennedys' Man With The Dog

That's all I have though, I'm pretty sure.

7 is subhumans, yes?

posted by dersins 20 March | 12:22

richat: Correct on both. Well done.

dersins: it sure it, although the title may be tough to come up with as it's not referenced in the lyrics.

#2 is Screeching Weasel, "She's Givin' Me the Creeps"
#8 is Minor Threat, "It Follows"

...that's all I got.

Right on both counts, BOP (though I'm a bit surprised you didn't get #10).

I'll provide the rest of the answers in about an hour before I leave to go pick up dinner. #'s 4,5,9, and 10 still remain (and the title of the song for #7).

Alright, time's up. I'll probably be away from the computer for the rest of the evening.

Answers:
4 - Descendents - I Wanna Be a Bear
5 - Youth Brigade - Sink With Kalifornija
9 - Peter & the Test Tube Babies - Vicars Wank Too
10 - Minutemen - the Roar of the Masses Could Be Farts

and the title to that Subhumans song is Work-Rest-Play-Die.

Thanks for playing!
