    Well, dmc's confirmation is good enough for me!

    Continuing on with the "lyrics that aren't really lyrics" idea, here's mine (this may be really easy or really hard, I'm not sure; it may need a hint later on):

    do - - do do - - do do - - do - do do -
    do - - do do - - do do - - do - do do -
    do - - do do - - do do - - do - do do -
    do - - do do- - do do - - do - do do -

    (OK, one hint - it's pronounced "doo" (kinda like "dew"), not "doe")

    It doesn't count, they weren't real lyrics, they could be from thousands songs, from Kiss and Lou Reed to MC Hammer. :p

    [​IMG] Yeah, but the trick was in getting the rhythm (which was the purpose of the hyphens), and Harbourboy seems to have got it. :p

    More lyrics from this song are:

    "Every night sun goes down
    And the people are staying at home
    You can tell your momma and daddy
    Leave those children alone"

    It was a minor hit in the late 1980s from a strange movie that was made by the band. This band is more famous for another earlier movie they made which is renowned as one of the best live concert movies ever.

    Hey now

    I think that you know what to do
    Impossible? Yes, but it's true

    I'm sure that you know what to do

    <edit> forgot quote

    "Dark for fear of failure an inner gloom as wide as an eye and
    fermenting roiling hate death grip in my veins unveiling rancid
    petals flowering forth foul nectar the space between a blink and a
    tear"

    Mudvayne - Death Blooms

    I hate their poetry. It's their lyrics with an attempt at depth. It doesn't really work, it just appeals to 'angst-filled' teens.

    We know of an ancient radiation, that haunts dismembered constellations. A faintly glimmering radio station...

    I totally agree, only did it because not many people i know know that part of the song

    Oh..yes and answer..cake by frank sanatra

    "Tough of the track,
    With the wind,
    And the rain that's beating down on your back.
    Your heart's beating loud
    And goes on getting louder
    And goes on even more till the sound is ringing in your head"

    OK, this is an easy one (I think so at least).

    It's only been an hour
    Since he locked her in the tower
    The time has come
    He must be undone
    By the morning

    Rainbow-Sixteen Century Greensleeves

    "One after one by the star dogged moon, too quick for groan or sigh each turned his face with a ghastly pang, and cursed me with his eye. forty times fifty living men(and i heard no sigh or groan) with heavy thump, a lifeless lump, they dropped down one by one"
