10 Lines #4 (and 10 Lines #3 answers)

Next time, we'll do second lines. ;)

1. "There's another world inside of me that you may never see."

2. "Your life is a story I've already written."

3. "I walk along the avenue; I never thought I'd meet a girl like you."

4. "You see me as a judge though I deny it."

5. "Doesn't want to go to work today."

6. "When you were here before; couldn't look you in the eye."

7. "I met a devil woman; she took my heart away."

8. "I was cutting a rug at a place called Jug's with a girl named Linda Lou."

9. "It's getting late and while I wait my poor heart aches on."

10. "Quickly she came, dressed up for fame, riding her perfume downstairs."


1. I do believe you've laid a curse on North America!
A curse that we here now rehearse in Philadelphia!
A second Flood, a simple famine, plagues of locusts everywhere
Or a cataclysmic earthquake I'd accept with some despair
But no, you sent us Congress!
Good God, sir — was that fair?

- "Piddle, Twiddle & Resolve", 1776

2. Do you always have to tell him
Everything on your mind?
You know that too much honesty
Can be so unkind
Every time you him throw him to the floor
Why are you surprised
To see he's breakable?

- "Breakable", Fisher

3. What you want
Baby I got it
What you need
You know I got it
All I'm asking
Is for a little respect...

- "Respect", Arethea Franklin

4. Drove downtown in the rain
9.30 on a Tuesday night
Just to check out the late night record shop
Call it impulsive, call it compulsive
Call it insane
But when I'm surrounded
I just can't stop...

- "Brian Wilson", Barenaked Ladies

5. She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at St Martin's College
That's where I caught her eye
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said, "In that case, I'll have a rum and cola,"
She said, "Fine..."
And in thirty seconds time, she said
"I want to live like common people
"I want to do whatever common people
"I want to sleep with common people
"I want to sleep with common people like you."
Oh, what else could I do?
I said, "I'll see what I can do."

- "Common People", Pulp

6. You'll never see a dark cloud hanging 'round me
Now there is only blue sky to surround me
There's never been a grey day since you've found me
Everything I touch is turning to gold
So you can colour my world with sunshine yellow each day...

- "Colour My World", Petula Clark

7. Jenny came over and told me about Brad
"He's such a hairy behemoth," she said
"Dumb as a box of hammers,
"But he's such a handsome guy..."

- "I Kissed A Girl", Jill Sobule

8. Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close — don't patronize
Don't patronize
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't...

- "I Can't Make You Love Me", Bonnie Raitt

9. A screen door slams - Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again...

- "Thunder Road", Bruce Springsteen

10. As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind
Baby...

- "What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted?", Jimmy Ruffin

Ah. I thought I recognized #6 from the prior set -- but no, never in a lifetime would I have been able to identify it.

From this set, only two:

7) "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet' - Bachman Turner Overdrive
8) "Gimme Three Steps" - Li'-neerd Ski'-neerd :-) (Though for some reason I keep thinking I hear George Thoroughgood singing it :-D
