shinydanMuch as I would like to drop in samples, I don't know how. So - another music lyrics quiz!
All the following lyrics come from songs in the UK Top 10 singles chart, from its inception in 1952 to the present day,.as referred to on www.everyhit.com.
Ignoring silly words like "The" and "A", nine of the songs come from artists beginning with the letter "A". The tenth and last song on the list has a title beginning with the letter "A".
Name the artist of each song for one point, and get another for naming the song. Please don't use internet search services to look these details up. Answers will be screened until Friday afternoon, when I'll post the answers and the scores!
1) And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy, and Lord, I know I'm one.
2) The history book on the shelf is always repeating itself.
3) Ridicule is nothing to be scared of.
4) I was gonna pay my child support, but...
5) And there's no romance here, no Montagues and Capulets - just bangin' tunes and DJ sets.
6) You are my candy girl, and you got me wanting you.
7) How can the light that burns so brightly suddenly burn so pale?
8) No more pencils, no more books, no more teacher's dirty looks
9) So you want to be free, live your life the way you wanna be.
10) I'm in serious shit, I feel totally lost
If I'm asking for help it's only because being with you has opened my eyes.
