Were last week’s lyrics just inexplicably obscure? Will this week’s prove any different? Is anybody even reading this?
- “Man on the Moon” by R.E.M., guessed by Kim
Moses went walking with the staff of wood - “40” by U2
He set my feet upon a rock - “Dracula Moon” by Joan Osborne
Where are the bones on that one? - “Real Love” by the Beatles, guessed by Kim
All my little plans and schemes - “Busted” by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band
Like a sacrifice for the minotaur - “I Hope That I Don’t Fall in Love With You” by Emiliana Torrini (orig. Tom WaitS)
These old tom-cat feelings you don’t understand - “Little Martian Girl” by Larry Gallagher
The likeness is otherworldly - “Velvet Underground” by Jonathan Richman
Sounds as stark as black and white stripes - “Bye Bye Love” by the Everly Brothers, guessed by Clayton
She was my baby till he stepped in - “Feel Good, Inc.” by Gorillaz
And all I wanna hear is the message beep
Good luck!
1. Man on the Moon – REM
4. Real Love – John Lennon/Beatles
I know I know more of these but my brain is rebelling against actual thought…
9 – “Bye Bye Love” – the Everly Brothers, or Simon & Garfunkel
