The Music Quiz

Please guess the song and artist from the lyrics. 

No internet usage please.

I'm hoping that we may get different generations join in.

If no-one gets it, then just post a new one.

You're watching yourself but you're too unfair

You got your head all tangled up but if i could only

Make you care

No matter what or who you've been

No matter when or where you've seen

All the knives seem to lacerate your brain

I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain

You're not alone

Parents
  • She lives in this house over there
    Has her world outside it
    Scrabbles in the earth with her fingers and her mouth
    She's five years old
    Threads worms on a string
    Keeps spiders in her pocket
    Collects fly wings in a jar
    Scrubs horse flies
    And pinches them on a line


    She has one friend, he lives next door
    They're listening to the weather
    He knows how many freckles she's got
    She scratches his beard
    She's painting huge books
    And glues them together
    They saw a big raven
    It glided down the sky
    She touched it

    I first heard this in 1987, I went out and bought it straight away. I fell in love with the voice instantly.
