Easier Quote Quiz
OK, due to the negative feedback from the quote quiz earlier this morning, here is a newer quote quiz. It’s easier than the one immediately below. In this one, I am using better-known songs.
No Googling. No peeking at other comments.
Here’s your first subject. Go!
1
It could be made into a monster2
Get on with the fascination3
Somebody told me
This is the place
Where everything’s better4
Remember I’ll always be true5
When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight6
They say the point demons guard is
An ocean grave, for all the brave7
‘Cause you need to
Be back in the arms of a good friend8
Drunk in the gardens and the graves9
There’s a small boat made of china
Going nowhere on the mantelpiece10
Listen you
Take your hands from her head
Good luck. You should do better on this one.
#3: Walk on the Ocean.
#8: a Gin Blossoms song whose name I can’t remember because, to be honest, the entire album is blurred together in my memory.

#10’s lyric sounds intriguing.
Psyberian (d18acc) — 2/15/2008 @ 7:12 pm#10:”Is she really going out w/him?” (Joe Jackson)
One of the most underrated musicians of the past thirty years. Couldn’t be categorized, always creative, always thoughtful, frequently hilarious. I wish I had gotten a recording contract and then cut “On Your Radio”:

No better 2nd time around. I only got the first one, “Have a Cigar” by Pink Floyd.
