I'm not sure... i will post one though. i didn't know you wanted me too..

The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
London is drowning-and I live by the river......

London Calling... the Clash

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out for the scramble weve got to get airborne
Got to get up for the coming attack.

Run, live to fly, fly to live! aces high!!!!

Iron Maiden.

I love the Winston Churchill at the beginning. Makes the hair on me neck stand up! Very good choice so close to rememberance day.

Ok..here a Yank:

You jump in front of my car when you,
You know all the time that
Ninty miles an hour, girl, is the speed I drive
You tell me its alright, you dont mind a little pain
You say you just want me to take you for a ride

Crosstown Traffic? Hendrix??

And I'd join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah I'd break bread and wine
If there was a church I could receive in
'Cause I need it now

Try this one then lads

One fluid gesture, like stepping back in time
Trapped in Amber, Petrified
But Still not satisfied
Heirs and Social Graces, Elocution so fine
I'll stick to my needle, my favourite waste of time
Both spineless and sublime

a band i hate.....placebo....teenage angst

i only know it cos my gay brother used to play it every morning. he said it was his "getting dressed song"

he's an easy one:

"I've seen your frown
And it's like looking down the barrel of a gun
And it goes off
And out come all these words
Oh there's a very pleasant side to you
A side I much prefer"

Sheffields own...

Arctic Monkeys... mardy bum.

Erm..

the line.."Libraries gave us power
Then work came and made us free
What price now for a shallow piece of dignity

I wish I had a bottle
Right here in my dirty face to wear the scars
To show from where I came"

A welsh band...

i knew you'd get that one

yours is manics...design for life

the line "i wish i had a bottle" was bugging me then i got it

here's one i want played at my funeral:

"Who would you blame for blowing
the flame right out
Is it me? There is no doubt
I can do what I want to do from now
until forever
Let's have less of getting clever with me"

incase you were wondering that was The Seahorses - Blinded by the sun

here's one from 1990

"Now is the time
Let everyone see
You never give up
Thats how it should be
Don't get caught
Make your own play
Express yourself
Don't give it away"

mickeyb

I like this thread and thought I would revive it. I'm gonna take it away from mainstream though.

Whoever gets the answer then posts lyrics from a song for everyone else to guess. Anyway I'll re-start this with these lyrics from a great song.

Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that's left
and stuff it up the hole
in your culture
Give me back the Berlin Wall
give me Stalin and St. Paul
I've seen the future, brother:
it is murder.
