Take all of your music and put it on shuffle play. List the first 25 songs that come up and your favorite lyrics from each.
1. Leon - Roger Daltrey
Leon came along to see me on the road
He took the time to come backstage and make himself known.
And although we'd never been real close, as friends we shared some times.
2. Mr Soft - Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel
Don't you know, life gets tedious enough without this extra grudge to bear?
You're so slow. Shift your ideas, make your mind up in a jiffy.
3. Lili Marlene - Marlene Dietrich (thank gawd the shuffle picked the English version!)
When we are marching in the mud and cold
And when my pack seems more than I can hold
My love for you renews my might
I'm warm again, my pack is light
It's you, Lili Marlene.
4. Farewell to Ireland - The Dubliners
Um... This is an instrumental.
5. Angel From the Coast - Thin Lizzy
The Sacred Heart is bleeding, go tell the Holy Ghost.
6. Rocket Man - Elton John
And I think it's going to be a long long time
Till touchdown brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think at all, oh no no no,
I'm the Rocket Man.
7. When The Year Ends In A One - Chas n Dave
It's lucky for Spurs when the year ends in one
They first won the cup when the century begun
It's lucky for Spurs when the year ends in one
So this is the year for Spurs.
8. Castles in the Air - Don McLean
For I cannot be part of her cocktail generation
Partners' waltz, devoid of all romance
The music plays and everyone must dance
I'm bowing out, I need a second chance
9. These Foolish Things - Bryan Ferry
The sigh of Garbo and the scent of roses
The waiters whistling as the last bar closes
The song that Crosby sings!
These foolish things remind me of you
10. Are You Lonesome Tonight - Elvis
Does your memory stray to a bright summer day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?
11. Peace at Last from Lisztomania - Rick Wakeman & Roger Daltrey
At last, at last
I'll live in peace at last
Forgiven for my past
Peace at last.
12. The Snot Rap - Kenny Everett
You just make it up as you go along,
So nobody knows if you're doing it wrong
And you can chuck in a word like 'circumcision'
Cos we ain't goin' in for Eurovision.
It's a Rap.
13. When You're Smiling - Dean Martin
When you're crying, you bring on the rain
So stop your crying, be happy again.
14. Venus - Shocking Blue
The goddess on a mountaintop
Was burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name.
15. Danny Boy - Harry Connick, Jr.
But when ye come and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
And all my grave will warm and sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me.
And I shall sleep peace until you come to me.
16. Without Your Love - Roger Daltrey
If I could travel far, if I could touch the stars,
Where would I be without your love?
17. Rock Around the Clock - Bill Haley and the Comets
When the clock strikes two, three and four,
If the band slows downs we'll yell for more.
18. We All Stand Together - Paul McCartney and the Frog Chorus
Win or lose, sink or swim
One thing is certain we'll never give in
Side by side, hand in hand
We all stand together.
19. Hey Hey, What Can I Do - Led Zeppelin
I got a worried mind, cos of what I thought was mine.
Or something along those lines. Have you ever tried to decipher Percy in his 'Look ma, I can sing the blues!' mood?
20. The Air That I Breathe - The Hollies
All I need is the air that I breathe and to love you,
All I need is the air that I breathe, yes to love you.
21. I Heard It Through the Grapevine - Marvin Gaye
Honey honey, I know that you let me go
Said I heard it through the grapevine
22. Reasons To Be Cheerful Part 3 - Ian Dury & The Blockheads.
Summer, Buddy Holly, The Working Folly, Good Golly Miss Molly and Boats.
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet, jump back in the alley and Nanny Goats.
23. Miss Judy's Farm - The Faces
Last summer we was restless
Make a stand and burn down your farm
But it was all in the head,
Cos out in the yard, Miss Judy had the national guard
24. I'm The Urban Spaceman - The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band
I'm the Urban Spaceman babe
But here comes the twist
I don't exist.
25. The Fields of Athenry - The Dubliners
'Nothing matters Mary, when you're free
Against the famine and the crown
I rebelled, they cut me down.
Now you must raise our child with dignity.
Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
I've decided I've got bored of shuffle mode. Despite having nearly eight hours of stuff on one playlist, it always seems to choose the same bloody things.
