You said my clothes were sexy, you tore away my shirt.
You rubbed an ice-cube on my chest snapped me 'til it hurt.

Say you stand by your man
Tell me something I dont understand
You said you love me and thats a fact
Then you left me, said you felt trapped

Since no-one got my other 2 (No offence taken btw Stann) maybe this will be easier ? -

try this one - -
Well I see your yellow fingers and your crucifix bones
All covered in cellophane
Was there when yer best friend said “sweetheart”
I’m just here to get drunk again
I wouldn’t move if I was you
I wouldn’t want to get caught when the lights go out
She said “you think you’re so special” I said
“Sunshine I’m just bored I’m just checking out”

Charming! :p
That's Human by the Killers (and it's denser, not dancers!)
Optimist's is that Neil Young one, Impeach the President or something like that.
Don't know centre_mid's one so will leave it to whoever gets that to post a new one.
Aparently not...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_(The_Killers_song)#Lyrics
Well it is Wikipedia, and the singer doesn't say anything of the sort on their website despite what that entry says, but it could well be. :)
Terrible song anyway. :D
The crisps and jam is the Sultans of Ping I think, but I can't remember the name of the song.
Very obscure this one:
"People are standing at the back of the church now,
Tonight's the night, yeah, tonight's the night"

Soldier boy

This should be an easy one (cleary I set the bar too high on my first couple :D)
She gave herself a flirt, gave herself a little cuddle
But there's no place here for the mini skirt waddle
Capital punishment she's last years model
They call her Natasha when she looks like Elsie
Ah, cracking tune, I Don't Want To Go To Chelsea!
Right, I'll go with a bit more of an earlier one since I've just got hold of the song (found out it had been re-issued only recently, can't believe it, have a grin like a Cheshire cat all week! :D)
"People are walking, people are talking, smoking, jay-like, cigarettes
Beer stains on stout men, hypocrites arrrive again
People pawing, Women warning
Day is dawning, [name of song!]
People are standing at the back of the church now, tonight's the night yeah, tonight's the night
Small town heroes, their thoughts are nowhere, out of sight yeah, out of sight"
Anyone remember it? You'd have to be well on towards 30somghrtrtgfgfgddfsd I'd say. :o

Hahaha, it's google-proof! :D
Brilliant, brilliant song, one that's only been in my head for years and years since my record player went tits up, then in desperation I googled it a while back and found out that it had been reissued a couple of years ago, grabbed one forthwith!
Think Galway, think 1980-ish, and I've already said too much...

Bit of a guess here but is it a Toasted Heretic song?

No, good bit before Toasted Heretic, though there's enough lyrics there for a game all on their own.

Its not a Grant Lee Buffalo song is it, although the Galway regerence doesnt really make sense?
:D
That's cos the Galway reference is to a different song. ;)

How about this?
And you even spoke to me, and said :
"If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know ...
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight

Missed this Ozymandias, sorry.
No, they didn't as far as I know.
Actually, having checked it out, if it's Hinterland you were thinking of, no, definitely not them! :D

I see your house
It brings back memories
Lying beside you
Touching your face
Feeling so real
For the very first time
Hard to believe
I could ever be like this
Rain comes down
And I feel better
Rain comes down
And I see clearer

Dont you worry
Sometimes youve just gotta let it ride
The world is changing
Right before your eyes
Now Ive found you
Theres no more emptiness inside
When were hungry...love will keep us alive
it was hinterland i was thinking of....

Not a reference though, a fact rather. The band are from Galway. The song is from 1980 or so. Just though there must be someone on here as old as I am. :D
