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

  • As this thread has reached a limboesque haitus, I will post some hopefully easy lyrics to get the wheels turning again.

    I do have a suggestion - I try to post lyrics from singles rather album tracks not released as singles as it opens up more people to knowing them.

    Anyway:

    ...

    In the drunk tank
    An old man said to me, won't see another one
    And then he sang a song
    The Rare Old Mountain Dew
    I turned my face away
    And dreamed about you
    Got on a lucky one
    Came in eighteen to one
    I've got a feeling
    This year's for me and you
    ...

    I love you baby
    I can see a better time
    When all our dreams come true
    They've got cars big as bars
    They've got rivers of gold
    But the wind goes right through you
    It's no place for the old
    When you first took my hand
    ...

    You promised me
    Broadway was waiting for me
    You were handsome
    You were pretty
    Queen of New York City
    When the band finished playing
    They howled out for more

    Sinatra was swinging
    All the drunks they were singing
    We kissed on a corner
    Then danced through the night
    ...
  • The pogues - fairytale of new York. Saw them live, the band were fantastic musicians, Shane was relatively coherent. The support act were the Drop kick Murphys
