Hit submit by accident. The rest of the post should read: 'cause if it is then it’s The Double Dutch Bus. I have no idea who sings it. ---

77 is _This Corrosion_ (ye gods, one of the most bril songs ever!) and I’m pretty sure that 78 is _Dominion/Mother Russia_. Um… 1. “I love my house and car/I love my house and car/I love my house and car” 2. “You’re my guilty secret/Not just a memory/You’re all I ever wanted/And you belong to me” ---

Be sure, **Squish** , that **77** is Dominion/Mother Russia by Sisters of Mercy. **104** is Do You Really Want to Hurt Me? by the Culture Club, always my favorite by them. Someone should get this one pretty quick: **106** ) You leave in the morning With everything you own In a little black case Alone on a platform The wind and the rain On a sad and lonely face …but this will be a lot harder (except for at least one Doper I can think of) **107** ) I just wish my life could be as strange as a conspiracy I hold out hope but there’s no way of being what I want to be Limiting myself to the band’s most famous singles here so it’s not just totally impossible. Hint, Liz Frazer sings on 107, but not the lines I quoted! -fh ---

Hmmm… 108) Livin’ simple, and trying to get by, but honey, prices have shot to the sky! So I fixed up the basement with what I was a-workin’ with. Stocked it full of jelly jars and heavy equipment! …and a really easy one that I’m including just because it’s _so true_… 109) We are young. Heartache to heartache we stand. No promises, no demands. ---

Gah! I was trying to post 77. Dominion/Mother Russia at about 3:30 Friday afternoon when the power went out at work! I haven’t been able to sleep because this thread is driving me nuts! So, here are some more: 103 - Great White, Wasted Rock Ranger. (Metal-head husband, not me.) **Squish** ’s 107 - Gene Loves Jezebel, Discover (me.) 1. Vows are spoken To be broken Feelings are intense Words are trivial Pleasures remain So does the pain Words are meaningless And forgettable ---

I can’t believe no one’s gotten 64 yet. Here are some more lyrics from the same song… 1. It was long ago. It seems like yesterday. I saw you standing in the rain, Then I heard you say, “I want to love, but it comes out wrong. I want to live, but I don’t belong.” ---

This one is probably going to be kind of hard, although some of the pertinent information is in the lyrics, themselves. 1. This is a world destruction, your life ain’t nothing. The human race is becoming a disgrace. Countries are fighting with chemical warfare. Not giving a damn about the people who live. Nostradamus predicts the coming of the Antichrist. Hey, look out, the third world nations are on the rise. The Democratic-Communist Relationship, won’t stand in the way of the Islamic force. The CIA is looking for you. The KGB is smarter than you think. Brainwash mentalities to control the system. Using TV and movies - religions of course. Yes, the world is headed for destruction. Is it a nuclear war? What are you asking for? and here’s a not so tough one: 1. All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere And their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow No tommorow, no tommorow And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I’m dying Are the best I’ve ever had ~V ---

#106: “Smalltown Boy” by Bronski Beat 1. “Bullshit is bullshit/It just goes by different names” 2. “I knew you’d be a vision in white/How’d you get your pants so tight?/Don’t know what you’re doing, but you must be living right.” ---
