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

  • I'd just read on another thread that Isperg's lyrics had gone into moderation.

    So, I've found them and responded, but it's miles down.

    Here's mine (whilst awaiting those of SpikeyMark and Arise):

    Every generation
    Blames the one before
    And all of their frustrations
    Come beating on your door

    I know that I'm a prisoner
    To all my Father held so dear
    I know that I'm a hostage
    To all his hopes and fears
    I just wish I could have told him ....

    Crumpled bits of paper
    Filled with imperfect thought
    Stilted conversations
    I'm afraid that's all we've got

    You say you just don't see it
    He says it's perfect sense
    You just can't get agreement
    In this present tense
    We all talk a different language
    Talking in defense

    Say it loud, say it clear
    You can listen as well as you hear
    It's too late when we die
    To admit we don't see eye to eye

    So we open up a quarrel
    Between the present and the past
    We only sacrifice the future
    It's the bitterness that lasts

    So don't yield to the fortunes
    You sometimes see as fate
    It may have a new perspective
    On a different date
    And if you don't give up, and don't give in
    You may just be O.K.
