Easy one to start!

All my troubles seemed so far away,
now it looks as though they're here to
stay, oh I believe in................?
 
I can't remember if I cried
when I read about his widowed bride
but something touched me deep inside

Sort of Mullaneder, but the title of the song is American Pie. Here's another:


I've travelled this land
with a guitar in my hand
and a eye ever open for some fun
 
Run for home - Lindisfarne 8)

and another

The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
Way down in the valley tonight
There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye
And a blade shining oh so bright
 
Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell

Try this one:

I was a miner,
I was a docker,
I was a railway man...
 
I met my love at Woolwich Pier, beneath the big crane standing
And all the love I felt for her it passed all understanding;

Between the Wars (Billy Bragg)
I'll leave Ians for someone els, don't know that one
How about this one?
He's five foot two and he's six feet four
He fights with missiles and with spears
He's all of thirty-one And he's only seventeen

The Universal Soldier- Donovan

I don't know IanD's one either.

Picture yourself on a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
 
Another:

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches looking at me
Is this the place we use to love
 
I'm told I've broken the rules ....

Ewan McColl took a line from Edmund Spencer & wrote a folk hit: Sweet Thames flow softly

I met my girl at Woolwich Pier beneath the big crane standing
And all the love I felt for her it passed all understanding
Took her sailing on the river, flow sweet river flow
London town was mine to give her, sweet Thames flow softly
Made the Thames into a crown, flow sweet river flow
Made a brooch of Silver town, sweet Thames flow softly.
 
Hi Nigel,
Somewhere only we know. Keane.

What is this one?

This is the sound of the planes in the night,
Coming out of the darkness,
And into the light,
Shining alarmingly,
Curiously bright.
 
Easy...........Lost by the one and only Annie Lennox!

Here's another:

Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
and my car's out back if you're willing to take the long walk
from your front door to my front seat
 
Lost - Annie Lennox

thy songs were made for the pure & free
they shall never sound in slavery.
