Lyrics quiz

[Brewbob]

Is it REM or something, keep thinking its the end of the world (as we know it), but don't think that's right

Try this - Born in the middle of the afternoon in a horse drawn carriage on the old A5. A big 12-wheeler shook me bed, you can't stet here the policeman said.....

Runwell-Steve's is REM - Radio Song?

Brewbob's is Christy Moore - Go, Move, Shift! I think

Here's one for the old hippies amongst us:

"Standing on the runway, waiting to take off...."

 

[Brewtrog]

Hawkwind - Brainstorm?

Walking through town is quite scary
It's not very sensible either
A friend of a friend he got beaten
He looked the wrong way at a policeman

 

[BIGJIM72]

Easy-Kaiser Chiefs.

Try this-
Boney's high on china white, Shorty found a punk
Don't you know there ain't no devil? There's just God when he's drunk
Well this stuff will probably kill you, let's do another line

 

[Tim_Crowhurst]

I'm not much of a jazz/blues fan, but my uncle is and I recognise those lyrics from listening to his band play. I've never heard the original and have no idea who the artist is, but I think I know the track name (assuming it's the final few words of the chorus). Not that I'm going to spoil it and let people know, of course.

Nice one, he also wrote this, among plenty other gems

Gets rid of blackheads, the heartbreak of psoriasis
Christ, you don't know the meaning of heartbreak, buddy
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
'Cause it's effective, it's defective
It creates household odors
It disinfects, it sanitizes for your protection
It gives you an erection
It wins the election
Why put up with painful corns any longer?
It's a redeemable coupon, no obligation
No salesman will visit your home
We got a jackpot, jackpot, jackpot
Prizes, prizes, prizes, all work guaranteed

Here's another-think the last was as good as guessed

Holy Moses - mi amigo
Mystic biscuit - mind your lingo
Walk in circles - stand by truth
Watch out boys - she's after you
She's after you - she's gonna get you
Here she comes - watch out!
