- I'm bleeding all over the place
Bleeding all over the place
I don't mean to be rude
I'm in a pretty bad mood
Just take a look at my face - We were married under cherry trees
Under blossom we made pour vows
All the blossoms come sailing down
Through the streets and through the playgrounds - Don't call it a prairie if you fence it in
You could call it a pasture but the topsoil's thin
It just might rain but then again
It will not make a difference - I don't believe in propagation
Just to achieve cafe au laition
Don't offer me immasculation
I don't believe in deprivation - There's no wrinkle on my brow, Nohow
But I ain't goin' You hear me sayin'
If you ain't goin' with you I'm stayin' - Just be my little woman, just be my lover, oh
I need me somebody, somebody to treat me right, oh
I need your loving arms to hold me tight - You lied about your status
You lied about your life
You never mentioned your three children
And the fact you have a wife
Now it's England 2 Colombia nil
And I know just how those Colombians feel - I cannot stand that noise you're listening to
Why did I ever get involved with you?
Hey baby
Somebody, somebody like you
Somebody, somebody like you
Somebody, somebody like you
I shouldn't be expectin' too much
from somebody like you - Your skin is cold
But the sun shines within your hold
Your hair is gold
But you see through a goldfish bowl - Don't talk, I will listen
Don't talk, you keep your distance
For I'd rather hear some truth tonight than entertain your lies
So take you poison silently

Well, I could TRY to play, but I've never been one to listen to lyrics. 1, 4 & 5 all sound familiar, but I can't match them to anything. (5 is probably OR, I think.)
If I saw this without the artists, I'd only get 1 & 7.
Looking at the artists, I'd probably be able to figure out three more, leaving the five as complete guesses.
Should I try the "10 songs in 60 seconds" again? Would anyone be interested in that?
Hm. I'm pretty sure that No. 5 is "Bess, you is my woman" from Porgy & Bess. I would have to do a google search to figure out who on your list recorded it, if it's not Louie and Ella.
I'm trying to broaden my musical horizons, really. I'm apparently not doing it right.
I canna do any of them, cap'n! Reduce power!
Judges are awarding justkim a point for #5. That's 2 points accumulative for her.
Hints:
1. The one that sounds like a soccer score might be sung by an Englander; perhaps someone who sung with the Pogues
2. That first one could possibly be from a musical about Satan.
I now have a voice niggling in my brain that Randy Newman did some adaptation of Faust. So, I guess that's No. 1?
I'm going to have to look into that.
