Can you guess these lyrics?

Jason Tor · #1 (**permalink**) 07-25-2004, 01:11 AM

Hey all! Thought I would start a fun thread and post lyrics from a song and see if anyone can guess what song their from.

Post your own and we'll see how much we actually know about music!
(and no using the internet!)

"...Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell ..."

This is an easy one

You have to love a Best Western with reflective ceilings and frozen vino.

Reminds me somehow of being the new kid in town. I kind of saw everything as the last resort, but still lived life in the fast lane.

Ok try this:

"...There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go..."

To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

Brain dead, total amnesia,
Get some mental anaesthesia,
Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights,
I guess I'll see you all on the ice,
All good clean fun,
Have another stick of gum,
Man, you look better already,

Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colours from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white,
but we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion?

Possibly motorhead, I think(I had to ask someone). But I would probably have to cheat to find out if I'm right! :)

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - AC/DC

I must admit, I cheated. (ac/dc weren't my thing really, after the shakin' stevens phase, I was strictly Iron Maiden, Meat Loaf, Asia, and Jim Steinman' Bad for Good (probably the worst album ever))

That'll teach me for being clever (or not) and just banging the lyric into Google!

any ideas? "Somebody's watching me
and now i'm nervous and i shouldn't be"

clue - there were two of them, no, three of them, no seven of them, then three.

Well, it's been ten years and maybe more since I first set eyes on you.
