shinydanRules: No googling for the answers. Deadline is 9am on Monday, and weekly totals will go up shortly after then.
Scoring: Here are ten song lyrics. Either the title, or the artist, begins with the letter "G". In each case, name the artist and title for one point each. All songs are UK Top 40 single releases. Results on Monday.
1) After the rush has gone / I hope you find a little more time / Remember we were partners in crime
2) A businessman gets caught / with twenty-four kilos / He's out of jail / and out on bail / and that's the way it goes
3) There are hills and mountains between us / Always something to get over / If I had my way / Surely you would be closer
4) This is the noise that keeps me awake / My head explodes and my body aches
5) Welcome to a new kind of tension / All across the alien nation / Where everything isn't meant to be ok
6) O, and feel the rhythm / 'N your groove, and dance up to / the planet of the apes
7) You got to whip it up and hit me like a ton of lead / If I blow my top will you let it go to your head?
8) Or just another country / Another council tenancy
9) My heroes had the heart / to lose their lives out on a limb / And I remember thinking / I want to be like them
10) I bite my nails and I twiddle my thumbs / I'm real nervous but it sure is fun
