I’m away in Canada right now, but rather than make you wait several weeks for the answers to last week’s lyrics (and get a few new ones to tide you over), I’ve decided to post-date this. I’m not going to post another one of these next week — unless I get super-bored my last night in Calgary — so you’ll have to wait a little longer for the answers to these ones:
- “You Make Me Hot” by the Donnas
Long and lean, rock ‘n’ roll machine - “Positive Contact” by Deltron 3030
Quantum jump, I’m right at your doorstep - “”Waterloo” by Popdudes (orig. ABBA)”, guessed by Clayton
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way - “Piazza, New York Catcher” by Belle & Sebastian
I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl - “Those to Come” by the Shins, guessed by Kim
Myriad lives like blades of grass - “Mull of Kintyre” by Wings, guessed by Kim
Far have I traveled and much have I seen - “Mr. Apollo” by Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band
Uproot trees with his bare hands - “Holloway Park” by Fatty Gets a Stylist
A man in overalls worries the weeds away - “Apple Scruffs” by George Harrison, guessed by Kim
You’ve been stood around for years - “If God Would Send His Angels” by U2, guessed by Kim
You know Jesus used to show me the score
But that just gives you more time to try your luck at guessing them, right? Good luck!
I haven’t been able to guess anything for the last two weeks, so I’m going to jump in early…
3 – Waterloo – ABBA
Nos. 1 and 9 seem very familiar as well, but not familiar enough. Not yet, anyway.
5. Those to Come – the Shins
6. Mull of Kintyre – Wings
9. Apple Scruffs – George Harrison
10. If God Will Send His Angels – U2
I *know* I know 7… maybe after beer #2
