Just in time--another lyrics quiz

Dec 11, 2007 10:28


   Wow, barely made the hour deadline. All right, here it is, the latest promised lyrics quiz. Frankly, I think it's too easy, and that it will be solved very fast. But there it is.

   THE RULES
  • You must give both the artist and the correct title (where possible) for full credit for the snippets.
  • The answer is a specific phrase suggested by the snippets.
  • Use your own brainpower to answer. No search engines, databases, or outside consultation allowed until AFTER you've given your answers. Don't be a git. Since this is both a lyrics quiz AND a puzzle, using a search engine to get the snippets and then answering on the theme is cheating.
  • The songs were selected to fit the theme; a few are rather obscure. None is deliberately so.
  • The list below essentially contains all the information you need; there are no hidden answers, comment lines in the HTML source, etc. Knowledge of the rest of the lyrics of the song from which a given snippet is taken may be relevant, however, as may the lyrics of the snippet itself.
  • Order and placement are critical.


  • 1.  "I'm gonna wait 'til the stars come out and see that twinkle in your eyes."
    2.  "Years from now, perhaps we'll see. See the day of glory. See the day when men of good will live in peace."
    3.  "When I get older they think I’m a fool. The teacher told me I should stay after school."
    4.  "Between both these times I drew a really thin line."
    5.  "Who’s that deadly piper that leads them away?"
    6.  "His girl took a week’s worth of Valium and slept."
    7.  "Come on feet, don't fail me now. I got ten more miles to go."
    8.  "It's there to stay, sucks all day. It's there to bite, my parasite."
    9.  "He’s leaping buildings in a single bound."
    10. "And some of us hover when we weep for the other who was dying since the day they were born."
    11. "Three days since the living room-we realized we’re both to blame"
    12. "Summer’s here, and the time is right."
    13. "One thing I can say girl-love you all the time."
    14. "In a cap she looked much older, and the bag across her shoulder"
    15. "So we started screamin' 'On such a winter’s day!'"
    16. "We got to work, and you’re one of us. Clocks go slow in a place of work. Minutes drag and the hours jerk."
    17. "Ride on, ride on, do you know where she's gone? Gumdrops and Saturdays--did Eric call by the way?"
    18. "Remembering that night, September's coming soon. I'm pining for the moon-and what if there were two side by side in orbit around the fairest sun?"
    19. "In a day and a day love, I'm gonna be gone for good again. Are you willing to be had? Are you cool with just tonight? Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well."
    20. "The one she’s been saving to make a feather bed"
    21. "I long to see you in the morning light. I long to reach for you in the night."
    22. "Dying for just another moment, and I'm just dreaming, counting the ways to where you are."
    23. "I never made promises lightly, and there have been some that I've broken, but I swear in the days still left"
    24. "Vanish in the air, you’ll never find me. I will turn your flesh to alabaster."
    25. "(Come out) where the bright moon shines, (Come out) we'll dance the night away. I'm gonna make you mine."
    26. "To make it back someday, to watch you, to guide you, through the darkest of your days"
    27. "Rise up this mornin’, smiled with the risin’ sun."
    28. "I remember you and me used to spend the whole goddamned day in bed."
    29. "It's not today quel le ciel me tombera sur la tete."
    30. "When you're threatened by a stranger, when it looks like you will take a lickin', there is someone waiting who will hurry up and rescue you."
    31. "Look up to me, run the business of the family, head an evil empire just like his dear old dad"
    32. "I think about you day and night. It's only right."
    33. "An ocean of violets in bloom, animals strike curious poses."
    34. "I'm waking up-I cannot see that there's not much left of me."

    And there it is. Have fun. Please be considerate about cheating, and feel free to collaborate with one another.
