Wednesday music quiz

[Barry52]

The subject this week is lyrics. Well known lines from famous songs. 1 point for the song title and 1 for the artist/s. Possible 20 points up for grabs. Answers on Friday. Good luck.

1. It’s a godawful small affair, to the girl with the mousy hair.
2. At first I was afraid, I was petrified.
3. And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain.
4. Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day, fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way.
5. Well I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body.
6. You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, when I met you.
7. Once upon a time you dressed so fine, threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn’t you?
8. I was born in a crossfire hurricane and I howled at the morning driving rain.
9. I never thought it would happen with me and the girl from Clapham.
10. There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold.

Trying to sing those lines to try and work out the lyrics is getting us some strange looks indeed! However we're pretty certain we know 8 this week, some real classics in there.

Thanks Barry, will be doing a lot of singing in my head today 🥴😊

When putting this together I had the songs in my head for days. I’m thankful it wasn’t the Birdie Song.
