Alphaville--"Sounds like a melody"

Here's an easy one, and I only need to give one line . . .

Is your name McArthur Parker?

[b]"Detour Thru Your Mind" B-52s[/b]

"Come to the free for all
With
Sellotape and knives
Some of us six feet tall
We will
escape our lives"

"The Cutter"--Echo and the Bunnymen

And promised to each other
That we'd always think the same
And dreamed that dream
To be two souls as one

"Space Junk"--Devo

I cannot risk the bet
Cause hearts are fragile toys
so easy to forget"

[b]Oingo Boingo -'Just Another Day'[/b] (had to cheat on this one--- Oingo Boingo stopped being my cup of tea after "Nothing To Fear")

"I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing
As free as the the wind
And hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning"

"More Than This"--10,000 Maniacs (w/o Natalie Merchant) and was also performed by this other band from the 80s called Rocky Music or something like that . . . [;)]

I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, they're bright in a hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight

"The Passenger" by (gasp) Iggy Pop

"Talk, talk, its only talk
Debates, discussions
These are words with a d this time
Dialogue, dualogue, diatribe,
Dissention, declamation
Double talk, double talk"

"Elephant Talk" King Crimson

Words won't find no right solution
To the planet earth's pollution

Wordy Rappinghood -Tom Tom Club

Hardly dashing through the snow
Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-do's
A few cards a few calls
'Cause it's r-s-v-p
No thanks, no party lights
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax
Turned down all of my invites.

"Christmas Wrapping"--The Waitresses

I ran down to Debbie, I had to find out
What made her do it, why'd she freak out

"The Homecoming Queens Got A Gun" -Julie Brown

"It was christmas eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, wont see another one
And then he sang a song
The rare old mountain dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you"

"Fairytale of New York" (was almost going to do this one after "Christmas Wrapping" but went for the val girl angle, instead.

)

You look so absurd, you look so obscene

by **rotator** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 5:10 am

ahhh Ministry with [b](Everyday is) Halloween[/b] (before Alain turned completely to the dark side...)

this one is difficult unless you are a fan of this band....

"As Paul said to Fifi
As they eyed each other up
"You may have better plimsoles
But you can't pee standing up"

by **waldnorm** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 11:13 am

Sorry, Rotator. Had to cheat

"I Can't Put My Finger On It"--Housemartins

How fair can I be?
How big's this mistake
You have a cigarette and I have a headache
