thought it would be really easy as it was the first line of a song that reached the top 10 and was recently covered.

Ghengis · Post by **Ghengis** » Mon May 14, 2007 10:52 am

clue: i think it was the futureheads that covered this.

When I come home late at night
Don't ask me where I've been
Just count your stars I'm home again

It's been a long time since I listened to GnR, but I'm fairly sure it's 'You could be mine'. Going to dig up those old tapes again I think, thanks Ray

My official entry:

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm

And here's a bonus lyric (from another song, obviously) because we have reached 10 pages of lyrics guessing!

A bottle of whiskey at his feet
and a barrel of porter at his head

bisquit · Post by **bisquit** » Wed May 16, 2007 10:10 am

isn't the bonus lyric something by thin lizzy?

Evzy · Post by **Evzy** » Wed May 16, 2007 11:14 am

i did google it but i'm not going to cheat this time, but i don't think any1 has a cat in hells chance of getting them. I googled it and i still don't really know who the hell or what the hell kind of songs they are

Dervish · Post by **Dervish** » Wed May 16, 2007 2:30 pm

I know the second one is an Irish Folk song or similar, my nanna sings it (no she's not Irish - just a big drinker

). But I can't remember the chorus which is probably also the name of the song?

Rayzor · Post by **Rayzor** » Wed May 16, 2007 2:39 pm

also googled it.
lol bart, who?

Lorthania · Post by **Lorthania** » Wed May 16, 2007 2:42 pm

You are right Derv - it's Finnegan's Wake, performed by many artists - but my favourite is the punk rock version by Dropkick Murphys

.

I don't think the first quote is very obscure, although some knowledge of 70s rock bands is required.

The fact its a 70's rock band automatically makes it obscure doesnt it? We should add some rules like - had to be in the top ten / number 1 / made by someone who had more than one hit and doesnt now live in a cave / not the hidden album track off the bands follow up album that only sold 3 copies.

Evzy · Post by **Evzy** » Wed May 16, 2007 3:08 pm

T-Rex? Or Status Quo?

Ghengis · Post by **Ghengis** » Wed May 16, 2007 3:15 pm

it`s creedence clearwater but i cant remember which song

bisquit · Post by **bisquit** » Wed May 16, 2007 3:42 pm

thing is i'm not gonna get the hardcore rock and roll one's either, i didn't come from the age of guns n roses, metallica, iron maiden etc.
My work mates joke that i am infact a pod boy and know nothing of pre circa 1990's

Evzy · Post by **Evzy** » Wed May 16, 2007 4:18 pm

Bad Moon Rising?

Dervish · Post by **Dervish** » Wed May 16, 2007 11:23 pm

lol yes Finnegans Wake where they have a punch up over his coffin

No idea about 'main' quote though.

Right band, not the right song - want another go?

Evzy · Post by **Evzy** » Fri May 18, 2007 11:07 am

Erm... I dont know anymore

Lorthania · Post by **Lorthania** » Fri May 18, 2007 1:23 pm

OK then, it was 'Have you ever seen the rain?' - go ahead Evz!

I'll try and be less obscure next time

, although not being into the modern Top 30 music makes that slightly difficult. I have no clue what kids listen to these days
