The Friday Lyrics Quiz: A is for Apple

[shinydan]

In each case, I want the artist (1 point) and title (1 point). All songs are UK Top 40 single releases. Results on Monday.


1) "We're the dandy highwaymen and here's our invitation / Throw your safety overboard and join our insect nation!"

2) "Once I had a love and it was divine / Soon found out I was losing my mind"

3) "And there ain't no love, no Montagues or Capulets / Just bangin' tunes and DJ sets"

4) "He was a boy / She was a girl / Can I make it any more obvious? / He was a punk / She did ballet"

5) "What you gonna do with the riches that you found / Lost at sea, well I hope that you drown"

6) "Little things I should have said and done / I never took the time"

7) "Sock it to me (x4)"

8) "And through it all / She offers me protection / A little love and affection"

9) "I got no taboos / Make a trade with you / I'll do anything you want me to"

10) "Let me show you the world / Shining, shimmering, splendid"

1) Stand And Deliver - Adam And The Ants (so far so good...)

2) Heart Of Glass - Blondie (um... "A"?)

4) Sk8er Boi - Avril Lavigne (OK)

6) Always On My Mind - Elvis Presley/Pet Shop Boys/Willie Nelson and undoubtedly others (frequently, though not always, listed as "You Were Always On My Mind", which confused me)
