Friday Lyrics Quiz - I is for Indie

[shinydan]

Rules: 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 "I". In each case, name the artist and title for one point each. All songs are UK Top 40 single releases. Results on Monday.



1) As the day is dawning / On a Texas Sunday morning

2) If you want to change the situation / Right people, right time, just the wrong location

3) When you’re secure, do you feel much safer? / When days never change and it’s three years later

4) In the wilds of Borneo / And the vineyards of Bordeaux / Eskimo / Arapaho

5) But soon, again / Comes another big riot

6) We don't really need a crowd to have a party / Just a funky beat and you to get it started

7) I didn't even have to use my A-K

8) But I'm a pacifist / I've walked La Ramblas / But not with real intent

9) Now that the night is over / And the sun comes, like a god / into our room

10) And if you think that I don't make too much sense / That's because I'm broken-minded
