The Music Quiz

Deleted User

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

  • What good is sitting alone In your room?
    Come hear the music play.

    ...
    Put down the knitting,
    The book and the broom.
    It's time for a holiday.

    ...
    Come taste the wine,
    Come hear the band.
    Come blow a horn,
    Start celebrating;
    Right this way,
    Your table's waiting.
    What good's permitting
    Some prophet of doom
    To wipe every smile away.
    ...
    I used to have a girlfriend
    known as Elsie,
    With whom I shared
    four sordid rooms in Chelsea
    She wasn't what you'd call
    a blushing flower...
    As a matter of fact
    she rented by the hour.
    The day she died the neighbors
    came to snicker:
    "Well, that's what comes
    from too much pills and liquor."
    But when I saw her laid out like a Queen,
    She was the happiest... corpse...
    I'd ever seen.
    I think of Elsie to this very day.
    I remember how she'd turn to me and say:
    "What good is sitting all alone in you room?
    Come hear the music play.
    ...
    And as for me,
    I made my mind up back in Chelsea,
    When I go, I'm going like Elsie.
    Start by admitting
    From cradle to tomb
    It isn't that long a stay.

    Life is a cabaret?

    Yes.

    Clue: the singer is the daughter of Judy Garland.
