> [@Biffy the Elephant Shrew](#): > > 13 is “Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)” by Melanie, andunless I’m very much mistaken, it’s “wounds,” not “wombs.” Wow, that’s two misquotes so far. Thanks for the heads-up. ---

That’s seven more correct answers, wich leaves only three quotes remaining to be solved (#s 8,10,23). Can we get them all? Hint: Each is from an artist who has already contributed another song on this list. Here is the updated listing: 1. “Where were you when I needed you? You could not be found.” (JEOPARDY) 2. “I could take this in doses large enough to kill.” (JOHNNY FEELGOOD) 3. “I was born in a Class 5 hurricane.” (JUMPIN’ JACK FLASH) 4. “Lonely-hearted lovers struggle in dark corners, desperate as the night rolls on.” (JUNGLELAND) 5. “We all chipped in for a bag of cement.” (JUNIOR’S FARM) 6. “You’d go to LA on a dare and you’d do it alone.” (KID CHARLEMAGNE) 7. “Look boy, don’t check on your watch, not another glance.” (KIDS IN AMERICA) 8. “And there hasn’t been a tally since Sally left the alley.” 9. “No more carefree laughter; silence ever after.” (KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU) 10. “I prayed that the days would last; they went so fast.” 11. “So be sincere, convince me with a pretty-please.” (LAUGH, LAUGH) 12. “Eating from TV trays, tuned in to Happy Days.” (LAWYERS IN LOVE) 13. “We bled inside each other’s wounds.” (LAY DOWN) 14. “Fatal attraction is holding me fast.” (LEARNING TO FLY) 15. “Pack my bags and mount my horse…” (LEGEND OF A COWGIRL) 16. “Ain’t got no speakers, ain’t got no headphones, ain’t got no records to play.” (LIFE DURING WARTIME) 17. “In winter 1963, it felt like the world would freeze.” (LIFE IN A NORTHERN TOWN) 18. “I hear you call my name, and it feels like home.” (LIKE A PRAYER) 19. “I’m so ugly, but that’s OK, cause so are you.” (LITHIUM) 20. “Well I left home just the week before, and I’d never ever kissed a woman before.” (LOLA) 21. “Just got home from Illinois, locked the front door, oh boy.” (LOOKING OUT MY BACK DOOR) 22. “Consider this, consider this the hint of the century.” (LOSING MY RELIGION) 23. “Nuns run bald through Vatican halls pregnant, pleading immaculate conception.” 24. “Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight.” (LOVERS IN A DANGEROUS TIME) 25. “Sky’s been cleared by a good hard rain; there’s somebody calling my secret name.” (LUCKY TOWN) ---

Sorry **Crotalus** , we had a simulpost going there. You are correct. That leaves only song #10 to solve. Big hint: Its by the same artist who sang #18.

You could not be found.” (JEOPARDY) 2. “I could take this in doses large enough to kill.” (JOHNNY FEELGOOD) 3. “I was born in a Class 5 hurricane.” (JUMPIN’ JACK FLASH) 4. “Lonely-hearted lovers struggle in dark corners, desperate as the night rolls on.” (JUNGLELAND) 5. “We all chipped in for a bag of cement.” (JUNIOR’S FARM) 6. “You’d go to LA on a dare and you’d do it alone.” (KID CHARLEMAGNE) 7. “Look boy, don’t check on your watch, not another glance.” (KIDS IN AMERICA) 8. “And there hasn’t been a tally since Sally left the alley.” (KITTY’S BACK) 9. “No more carefree laughter; silence ever after.” (KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU) 10. “I prayed that the days would last; they went so fast.” 11. “So be sincere, convince me with a pretty-please.” (LAUGH, LAUGH) 12. “Eating from TV trays, tuned in to Happy Days.” (LAWYERS IN LOVE) 13. “We bled inside each other’s wounds.” (LAY DOWN) 14. “Fatal attraction is holding me fast.” (LEARNING TO FLY) 15. “Pack my bags and mount my horse…” (LEGEND OF A COWGIRL) 16. “Ain’t got no speakers, ain’t got no headphones, ain’t got no records to play.” (LIFE DURING WARTIME) 17. “In winter 1963, it felt like the world would freeze.” (LIFE IN A NORTHERN TOWN) 18. “I hear you call my name, and it feels like home.” (LIKE A PRAYER) 19. “I’m so ugly, but that’s OK, cause so are you.” (LITHIUM) 20. “Well I left home just the week before, and I’d never ever kissed a woman before.” (LOLA) 21. “Just got home from Illinois, locked the front door, oh boy.” (LOOKING OUT MY BACK DOOR) 22. “Consider this, consider this the hint of the century.” (LOSING MY RELIGION) 23. “Nuns run bald through Vatican halls pregnant, pleading immaculate conception.” (LOST IN THE FLOOD) 24. “Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight.” (LOVERS IN A DANGEROUS TIME) 25. “Sky’s been cleared by a good hard rain; there’s somebody calling my secret name.” (LUCKY TOWN) ---
