I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm and the inevitable pin hole burns, all down the front of my favorite satin shirt.

Joe's Garage

It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain

edit - Major Major - He eats the snout and the trotters first

The loin and the groin is soon dispersed

Empty Garden- elton john

You watch their faces

you'll see the traces of the things they want to be but only we can see

They come for killing

they leave and still it seems the cloud that's left behind oh can penetrate your mind

That's because this thread was practically D.O.A.

First, no one knew it was meant as a game, then when Joe did explain it, people still seemed unclear on the concept. I think my lyric has gone unanswered as well. When people start quoting "We Built This City" lyrics...that's when I check out. ;)

Oh, by the way: "Pornography" by the Cure.

Sorry I tried to explain it as best as I could, but people did not anwer the question or hold their hands up for the answer, they just kept putting in their own lines. Even I am confused as I don't know the answer to some of them, and I have to keep going back to see if anyone has.It seemed like a good way to while away the time.

Well Joe, regardless of whether it got off to a shaky start, the rules seem fairly clear to me now, ie:

1. If you know the answer, you answer.

2. If you answer, you ALSO set a new question.

3. If you DON'T know the answer, you don't set a new question.

4. If someone sets a new question without answering the previous one, we should ignore the new question.

5. If you answer and fail to set a new question, you're either trying to ruin the thread, or you're an idiot - in which case, anyone else can set a new question.

Alles klar?

Right, next question:

We're the flowers in the dustbin

Why so many rules Major? I thought joe said the idea (for fun) was for members to post a favorite line or two from a non-obscure song. Period. Your rules are complicated and exclude members from participating even one time if they don't have an answer at the ready for a previous song lyric posted.

The only rule I can think of that applies here is the no spamming i.e. overposting which is pretty much a rule for any thread like this. Well luckily I do know the answers to two posts and luckily they have not been answered yet. Thank goodness they were easy so I could get my own post up. Post #18, Another brick in the wall, PF. and #19 Time also PF. Now I'm going to post two sets of lyrics myself in keeping with the spirit of the thread's title. :) missy

First the easy one:

"In and around the lake

Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there

One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you

Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too....

And now the bonus and less well known:

"You're all just pissin'

in the wind

You don't know it but you are.

And there ain't nothin'

like a friend

Who can tell you

you're just pissin'

in the wind......."

Major Major explained perfectly clearly what Joe set out to achieve in this thread. There are no complications it all seems straightforward to me.

Steppenwolf- "The Pusher"

You know I've smoked a lot of grass

O'Lord, I've popped a lot of pills

But I never touched nothin'

That my spirit could kill

You know, I've seen a lot of people walkin' 'round

With tombstones in their eyes

But the pusher don't care

if you live or if you die.

This is actually a lot harder than I thout it would be, still I suppose the brain can only recall so many things, so that's me shafted, the answer to my question was; Frank Zapper & The Mothers - Mother People.

Now for a simple one to help all of us along.

" I can't help about the state I'm in,

I can't sing I aint pretty, and my legs are thin"

Idiot Wind - Bob Dylan (I had to cheat sadly).

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind

People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time

All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy

Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify.
