    As the music, film, comedy and all the other quiz threads, are doing so well, I thought it might be fun to have a guess the lyric thread.

    This happened once on BBC606, quite spontaneously (nothing to do with me!) and lord knows how, that thread kept going under the mods noses but it was great fun while it lasted.

    Anyway, I digress.

    The rules of the game. First to guess the lyrics of the song, posts a link to a video of said song, then writes some lyrics to a song of their choosing. The next correct guesser opens a video link, to that one, then does the next lyrics and so on untill we tire of it all!

    Ok I'll go first (obviously) Do try and have a think before you resort to the web!

    Post a correct video link to these lyrics.

    "Wonder why it's getting cold at night
    I must be getting old
    Looks like I'm gonna have to wait a while
    What the hell, I'm bored
    What's that there on the railway line
    Looks like my old brown shoe
    It ain't mine mister, how's that for laughs
    Not even how do you do

    Wonder what's cooking at the house tonight
    Stew and beans
    Tune that station, turn that dial
    Have another dream
    Ain't it stupid how some people stare
    Not even how do you do
    What's that mister - na na na
    I'm just the same as you

    Chorus:
    Running down the main line
    Shaking off the pain
    Heading for a bright time
    Der der der der der (song title)"

    Good luck!

    Hi Dev, No you can make it as easy or as hard as you like! You know me, easy come.

    Beacon was meant to look for a link for the last one, so I'll cover for him, post some new lyrics and whoever guesses first, provides the link for my song, and THEN, (Beacon!) some new lyrics for the next song.

    Ok

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1X_QD1wSls&feature=fvsr

    New lyrics to be worked out.

    "Time is running out and the illusion fades away
    Time is running out another day is on it's way

    Another sun was shining and he knew he wasn't great
    He didn't ever talk about he knew he couldn't wait

    Are you ever gonna push me let me run and let me do
    I need it and I'm ready and I haven't got a clue"

    Clue, these words are Spoken, not sung, very quickly!

    Whoever guesses first, post a link to it, then put up your own lyrics, for the rest of us, to have a go at.

    Good luck!
