Identify the song from the lyrics

[mgrowe]

How about this,

A few lines of lyrics and you have to identify the song (Guitar based songs of course)

Heres my starter for ten

"Imagine a time when it all began
In the dying days of a war
A weapon that would settle the score
Whoever found it first would be sure to do their worst
They always had before..."

Bit easy I think but a simple start for you all to follow....

And no looking it up on the web ;)

[ZappaFan]

that would be Manhattan Project - Rush


okay here's one for you:-

See the screaming
Hot black steaming
Iridescent naugahyde python screaming
Steam Roller!

[mgrowe]

Not a clue on that one, over to the others

[mgrowe]

Hang on a moment though that has got be be Zappa.....

[mgrowe]

I know it's on Filmore east but I can't remember what it's caled.

It may come to me,,,,,,

[stevedak]

FZ - Stick It Out

here's one--

Deaf, dumb and blind
You just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable
And no one has a real friend

[ZappaFan]

Pink Floyd - Animals

here's another one :-

I was lying in a burned out basement
with the full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky

[zeusse]

Neil Young...After the Gold Rush..I think

[stevedak]

After The Gold Rush - Neil Young
(btw, the answer to the Pink Floyd song is Dogs, from the Animals CD)

here goes:

Ten thousand people look my way
But they can't see the way that I feel
Nobody even cares to try
I live my live and sell my soul on the road
And I'm still in the dark
Cause I can't seem to find the light alone

[stevedak]

whoops sorry Eric parallel posts!

[zeusse]

[trotter]

Devoutly wished for blinded eyes
This tragedy's like light to flies
IT seems to suit you better bleeding out the eyes(bleeding out the eyes)
hope's left in chain suspension,
Holding onto lies to make the truth

One easy verse for you.

Dear Mother, Dear Father,
Time Has Frozen Still What's Left to Be,
Hear Nothing, Say Nothing,
Cannot Face the Fact I Think for Me,
No Guarantee it's Life as Is,
But Damn You for Not Giving Me My Chance.

[stevedak]

Metallica-Dyer's Eve

btw, my last one was Man In The Wilderness by Styx

try this one:

We've seen so many tribes
Overrun and undermined
While their invaders dream
Of lands they've left behind
Better people, better food, and better beer
Why rule around the world
When Eden was so near?

[bigdoug]

I have not got any of these so far, guess I really dont listen :razz:

How about this one

Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats
and ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes
coverting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers
like packs of dogs assaulting the front of love me avenue

[Guitarpima]

One of my personal favorite lyrics:

"There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in".

Bit of an easy one

Wrapped tight around me

Cling to my body

Your wild vibrations
got me shootin' from the hip
Crazed & insatiable let rip ...........

With mankind in their command
In time they'd like to discover
