Name the Song!

[Ozymandias]

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
The Fuze is the only band I can think of back then...don't think they had an album but cant remember the name of their single.....

if this isn't it I am stumped ..might need a pm to put me out of my misery

[stann]

Cigar for that man! :)

The Fuze it is.
They had three singles apparently, though I only remember two of them. They finally got around to releasing their debut album in 2007! That's the one I just got.
"Stoneage Man" was the other single I can remember being out, and the lyrics are from the inestimably brilliant "It's A Sunday Morning".

[TonyD]

A classic.

"I hope it haunts me till I'm hopeless
I hope it hits you when you go
And sometimes on the edge of sleeping
It rises up to let me know, it's not so deep, I'm not so slow"

[MysticMon]

Ole Ole Ole Ole!!!

Any ideas?? :D :D :p

[stann]

"...Feeling Hot! Hot! Hot!" ?? :D

[Ozymandias]

A classic.

"I hope it haunts me till I'm hopeless
I hope it hits you when you go
And sometimes on the edge of sleeping
It rises up to let me know, it's not so deep, I'm not so slow"

How about this one:

I've looked at the ocean
tried hard to imagine
The way you felt the day you sailed
from ... to ...

[stann]

From somewhere I can't remember to Nova Scotia. :)
And you forgot the Diddly-Hups!
Letter From America by the Proclaimers. Great song!

Not very google-proof this, but it is obscure. :D
Listening to little else at the moment...

"I've just seen who you really are, impossibly funicular,
I've just seen who you really are, an astonishingly accomplished avatar"

[Closed Account 2]

Correct, and I think it's "from Wester Ross to Nova Scotia"... If anyone in London is interested they are playing a free gig in Croydon on the 1st August...

Haven't a clue about the avatar one...

"But it's not all that easy so maybe I should just
Snap her up in a butterfly net-
Pin her down on a photograph album"

Your plasticine, that is obscene,that is obscene..

Counting Crow (Anna Begins) thats fairly obscure, that brought me back.

Take only what you need from it.
A family of trees wantin',
To be haunted."

Little baby girlie, little baby boy.
Cover me with lovin' in a bundle o' joy.
Do i care to show you what i'm dreamin' of.
Do i dare to whoop ya with my love.

[DolansWaistcoat]

woke up fell out of bed,dragged a comb across my head
made my way downstairs and drank a cup and lookin up I realised I was late.
Found my coat and grabbed my hat,made the bus in seconds flat.

[stann]

One of the few recent ones I know, bar that Pauro's is no doubt some Muse dirge or other. Helps that I've just been listening to the dready version. :D

A Day In The Life!

[SkStu]

My best friend whatever may happen
Making a ruckus, we cry on each other's arms
I swallow a tear and breathe in your hair
When we meet
When we kiss
Lips burning, holding hands
I see you waking up
I see you naked
Within me a lunatic sings

[The Ref]

Within me a lunatic sings

llum látum, í faðmi grátum
Ég kyngi tári og anda hári
Þegar að við hittumst
Þegar að við kyssumst
Varirnar brenndu, höldumst í hendur
Ég sé þig vakinn
Ég sé þig nakinn
Inní mér syngur vitleysingur

Inní Mér Syngur Vitleysingur (Within me a lunatic sings - English Translation)

Radiohead Street Spirit?

[Bluebeard]

Radiohead Street Spirit?

Close but unlucky. It was actually the Darkness cover of Street Spirit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-_czxhOq8g). You should really get something for that. Unfortunately, I don't make the rules.

Easy one:

Here we go, two, three, four....

Haha, a lost classic! :D

"...she's a slag, he's a creep, she is a slut, he's very cheap..." or some such.

Quite right on all accounts!

If fashion is your trade, then when you're naked, I guess you must be unemployed, yeah?

[SkStu]

Pulp! Underwear.

Good choon. :cool:

mine:

I've got something to tell ya
I've got news for you
Gonna put some wheels in motion
Get ready 'cause we're coming through
