          Oooh you are a cheat.
          How could you? Do you go round spoiling televised football matches with the score as well?
          I think SCL should favour bamos over you because of that.

          I only got the howards Jones and Seal lyrics.

      You're all lovely!!

      1. When I was young it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful

      2. You're so pretty, oh so pretty

      3. Like a carousel a-turning, like a wheel within a wheel...

      4. I watch the birds fly south against the autumn sky and one by one they disappear..

      5. I saw her today, I saw a face. It was a face I loved and I knew.

      6. I woke up in the morning but my baby had gone

      7. Brother Tony was notably boney; he would never eat his meals

      8. I'm just mad about Saffron, Saffron's mad about me

      9. Honey I'm still free

      10. Take a sad song and make it better.

            3. Windmills of Your Mind. On soundtrack to the Thomas Crown Affair and not sure who sang it. May have been Dusty Springfield?

            4. Forever Autumn by Justin Hayward. Classic slice o' cheese from War of the Worlds record (but still better then David Essex's contribution: "We'll start a new life, down in the sewers" Er, yea Dave, whatever).

  • Re: Dodgy Lyrics Quiz!

    Get all these right and I'll start worrying:

    1. Yellow man in Timbuktu

    2. He's my gigolo and my Romeo

    3. It might seem like a crush, but it doesn't mean that I'm serious

    4. All I do each night is think, of all the times I closed the door to keep my love within

    5. Well my life was so well planned, survivin' and a-jivin' in a f-f-funk band

    6. Romeo and Juliet, they never felt this way I'll bet

    7. Suddenly the feeling that I can't go on is light years away

    8. You got to whip it up and hit me like a ton of lead

    9. I can see what you want, but you seem pretty young to be searching for that kind of fun

    10. Whenever the coast was clear and she'd ask me to come out, I'd say hey girl, come on right around
