    Right then - it’s Friday afternoon so it must be time for the Lyrics game.

    Greg66’s last week was too hard – as I couldn’t do it – obviously

    This week I’m kicking off with an absolute rock solid classic that someone will get in short order as it’s ace.

    The two "another"s are a dead give away


    Hands off google you scum

    I ….
    I ….
    I ….
    Stand ….

    I ….
    I'm ….

    You ….
    I ….
    You ….
    I ….

    Another ….
    Another ….

    That's the problem with Classics from the Fifties, I only know a couple of them from classic films :wink:

    Just to get some interference running in people's heads, it's not "Another One Bites The Dust", by Queen, is it? :twisted:

    WE HAVE A WINNER!

    A man who knows his proper jangly guitar music - at last!

    Now then if you don't know this song get on itunes and buy it - you can thank me on Tuesday - honestly.

    I always flirt with death
    I could kill, but I don't care about it
    I can face your threats
    Stand up tall and scream and shout about it

    I think I'm on another world with you
    I'm on another planet with you

    You always get under my skin
    I don't find it irritating
    You always play to win
    I don't need rehabilitating

    Another girl, another planet
    Another girl, another planet

    Space travels in my blood
    And there ain't nothing I can do about it
    Long journeys wear me out
    Oh God we won't live without it

    Another girl is loving you now
    Another planet, forever holding you down
    Another planet

    Yeah. Just managed to work that out with the aid of google.

    Having listened to that version, and the Blink 182 version on iTunes just now, I can safely say that I've never heard that song before, and never heard of that song before.

    So that was always going to be tricky, i reckon.

    Excellent

    How about this then:

    You're at the stage
    You want your empty words heard and everybody's ready
    I want to know your secrets but you're no telling
    You're just gesturing saying open up your arms and hearts, and lets me in

    Pretty sure that doesn't ring any bells. You sure it's not a poem you've just written?

    Try this while I think:

    Your...
    Someone ...
    Someone...
    Your...

    Should be pretty easy. Any more and it will get very easy very fast.

    Oh, ho ho. I see what you've done there. :wink:

    Well, because I couldn't get it in the first 5 minutes, I cheated. That revealed good news and bad news. The good news was that I had heard your song before. Score one for me.

    The bad news was that I last heard it when it was in the charts. So I had some legitimate recollective problems.

    I've got i-tunes playing in the background on random hoping that it somehow clicks on to the correct song but going on the musical tastes displayed by the Gregs I doubt I am going to be in luck.
