Billy Idol - “Eyes without a face”
Is another line in this song “Rebecca, Vinetta, Vishawn and Dawn”?
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.
A-yup, I do believe it does!

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…
-
“I love my house and car/I love my house and car/I love my house and car”
-
“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!

That’s “Living with the Dreaming Body” by Poi Dog Pondering.
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.)
- Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
- Pat Benatar!! Love is a Battlefield.
Ahhh…upon preview I see that Morgainelf beat me to #109!
- Enjoy the Silence - Depeche Mode
I think that all of mine have been figured out now. I’m going to have to think of some more good ones.

I can’t believe no one’s gotten 64 yet. Here are some more lyrics from the same song…
- 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.”
Right band, but that’s not the song. <eg>
Putting This Corrosion on Winamp right now…
Nope, 77 is definitely This Corrosion.
This one is probably going to be kind of hard, although some of the pertinent information is in the lyrics, themselves.
- 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:
- 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
-
“Bullshit is bullshit/It just goes by different names”
-
“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.”
:picks off easy one:
- Tears For Fears - Pale Shelter
stupid : p
And it’s Mad World, not Pale Shelter. Bleurgh.
112 Time Zone, “World Destruction” I heard this at a club a couple months ago… it was 80’s night!
-fh
“Rag Doll” - Aerosmith
116:
Hold me down in restitution
Living out your date with fusion
Is the whole fleece shun in master?
Don’t feel guilty, master writing
