Guess the artist one liner thread...

[Swanjaxs]

I said, "far out, what a day, a year, a life it is!"
You know, well, you know you had it comin' to you
Now there's not a lot I can do

I actually know this! It's Dreamer by Supertramp

 

[TheLoneRanger]

She asked me to stay, and she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around, and I noticed there wasn't a chair
I sat on the rug
Biding my time, drinking her wine
We talked until two
And then she said, "It's time for bed"
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh
I told her, "I didn't," and crawled off to sleep in the bath

She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh
I told her, "I didn't," and crawled off to sleep in the bath

This one is definitely my era

From South Pacific, but the great Ella Fitzgerald did a version.

The only version I know is the one by Captain Sensible.

Three lions on a shirt,
Jules Rimet still gleaming
No more years of hurt
No more need for dreaming...

 

[Swanjaxs]

You've got to hold and give
But do it at the right time
You can be slow or fast
But you must get to the line

They'll always hit you and hurt you
Defend and attack
There's only one way to beat them
Get round the back

Catch me if you can
'Cause I'm the England man
And what you're looking at
Is the master plan

We ain't no hooligans
This ain't a football song
Three lions on my chest
I know we can't go wrong

We're playing for England {In-ger-land}

 

[Muteswan]

After all the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness
Staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red
And the wind …

In case someone didn’t know it’s Norwegian Wood by The Beatles and a thousand others.

You can hear happiness
Staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red
And the wind …

The first couple of lines sound like on here about 2am Sunday morning

After all the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness
Staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red
And the wind …

Absolutely brilliant at Woodstock.

Thought I’d revive this one after hearing this song in the radio last week.


When they first arrive the girls are pink and pasty
But oh so tasty as soon as they go brown
I guess they know ev'ry fellow will be queuing
To do the wooing his girlfriend won't allow
But every dog must have his lucky day
That's why I've learnt the way to shout:Xxx

 

[Swanjaxs]

Classic this...


I look in the mirror and all I see
Is a young old man with only a dream
Am I just fooling myself
That she'll stop the pain
Living without her
I'd go insane

Ok it was Max Boyce!
I don’t know why I bother

 

[TheLoneRanger]

So be thankful for what you're given
And be good to your wife in bed
And look after the art of living
And don't forget you're a long time dead
When you're born it's a great big welcome
When you go it's a sad goodbye
Oh, with the bit in between your future
It's up to you if you laugh or cry
Cowboys playing, young men slaying
Old men praying, the world will change
Schoolgirls dating, daughters mating
Mothers waiting to rearrange
