Guess the Lyric game

Ok, similiar to the "guess the movie" thread. but please, lets not make them really obscure lyrics, they have to be from well known artists. (no Cannibal Corpse etc)

Also, please dont use Google. Cheating is for the weak.

Ok, i'll start with an easy one.

And its whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven?

There's talk on the street, it's there to
Remind you, that it doesn't really matter
which side you're on.
You're walking away and they're talking behind you
They will never forget you 'til somebody new comes along
Where you been lately?

no idea dude really i wouldnt know led zeppelin's thing either lol

When is an artist 'well known'?

when they are the most succesful in their genre i'd say.


as for Merry Ploughboy's lyrics.. no idea.

Yeah, Stairway to heaven it sounds like...

Eagles - New kid in town?

Sitting on a park bench
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.

And another one from the same song.

Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze
when the ice that
clings on to your beard is
screaming agony.
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
with deep-sea-diver sounds,
and the flowers bloom like
madness in the spring.

Jethro Tull's Aqualung?
If so;

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by.
With bright knives He releaseth my soul.

That's not fair!! so many people have stuff from Psalms in their lyrics

Ummm... if you think that is directly from a psalm... I'd be pretty surprised at you. Read that last line.

LOL didn't see that last part.

I don't know what it's from though

A longer section then.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by.
With bright knives He releaseth my soul.
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places.
He converteth me to lamb cutlets,
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger.
When cometh the day we lowly ones,
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate,
Lo, we shall rise up,
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water.

Sheep by Pink Floyd.

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...i want to...**** you

Is that perhaps a song by The Doors?

it could be, but whats the name of the song?

I don't have any Doors CD's with me and I don't want to cheat, so I'll have to leave this for someone else.

Probably the greatest song in the world. The End......

My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war,
and ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring,
But very unsteady for the first go round
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact I'm trying to say it's frigthened like me
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from, eh,
Giving my life to a rainbow like you

Correct.. (on both counts)

My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war,
and ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring,
But very unsteady for the first go round
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact I'm trying to say it's frigthened like me
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from, eh,
Giving my life to a rainbow like you

Hendrix.... Either "bold as love", or "if 6 was 9", not sure

Gah bold as, it was to easy for someone who posted the End, and zepp :wink:

Havent heard that song in ages, but its the line "my yellow in this case is not mellow" that clicked it for me.

Hmmm, time to step out of the classic rock genre then. Bit harder this one.

So I went to the doctor, see what he could give me
he said "Son, son, you've gone too far.
'cause smokin' and trippin' is all that you do."
