    I'll leave this for another while.

    	"There is freedom without, there is freedom within"

    [extra points will be awarded for the next line of the song]

    
    re.281
    
    Is it something by R.E.M.?
    
    I'm not sure of the title though,  something like the "War between
    us"??

    There are only two Aussie bands: it's not Men At Work so it must
    be INXS.
    
    Andy :-)

    
    It isn't "Live It Up", by Mental As Anything, is it?  
    Just a Stab In The Dark, folks.
    						Ian!

	It's "World Where You Live" (I think) anyway, it's by Crowded
    House.  They're actually part Australian.  Neil Finn is from NZ.
    
    Saw them last summer at Gret Woods with Paul Kelly & the Messengers
    (another good Aussie band).  Fantastic!!!
    
    Oh, next line is "try to stop a deluge in a paper cup"  what can
    I do with my "extra points"?
    
    
    New one:  "Like a strange cat running in the heat of the night"

    I bet it isn't "World Where You Live".  I bet it's "Don't Dream It's Over"
    
    
    Pedantic to the last....
    				Ian!

    Do I at least get anything for getting the right group and the
    following line?  If it is Don't dream it's over?
    
    JP
    

    
    Hey, you got the group, and that's what's important.  Besides, do
    you honestly think I'd trounce a lady out of her chance at a 1st
    liner?  Heavens *no*! 8^)
    
    Ian!

    I thought the second line was:
    
      "Try to catch the duluge in a paper cup"
    
    Alan S.

    This must be some sort of new-noter initiation.
    
    JP
    

    It was the song I was referring to, but I had the wrong band
    and no title.  :-)

    
    Always striving for perfection (or to be a pain in the ...),
    isn't the first line:
    
    "There is freedom within, there is freedom without" ,
    
    not the other way round as it was entered here??     

    
    
    ...and the word is "deluge", surely?  As in wholelottawater?
    

    ...or is it "independent"?  Ooops....8^)

    Well, I know the answer, but I'm not going to put it in. I'm over
    here in the Boston area, and this song is big here. But since this
    is, for the most part, made of UK employees, I'll let one of you
    answer it. (I wouldn't know what to ask as a new question, anyways.)
    
    But I'll give you a hint:
    
    The artist is a singer who was part of a VERY big band in the late
    '60's and the '70's. It is off his fourth solo LP.
    
    That should be enough to give it away to someone!
    
    Alan S.

    
    
    Is it Robert Plant ?
    
    
    Gary

    Well Gary, you are right!
    
    I don't know what happened to the girl who entered it originally,
    so I will usurp her and declare you the winner! (I love taking over
    when I have no authority! :^) )
    
    Anyways, the song was "Tall Cool One" of Robert's new LP 'Now and
    Zen'. 
    
    Take it away, Gary!
    
    Alan S.

    Well I finaly answered one correctly. Try this......
    
    
    "In the Flamingo club, on the south east side....."

         Sorry, but this may have been a little obscure.
    	 It was a one hit wonder by a group called 'Yellow Dog' the
         track was 'One more night'.
    
         They were on TOTP at one time. The lead singer had a white
         flying scarf on, held out by wire to make it look like he was
         in a force 9 gale. Remember them ?

    In a later reply I questioned Keith's wording of this 1st line.
    Well, I was wrong - he was right! 

    
    
    	'She would never say where she came from..'

    Well done Kedmunds.
    
    PS - You didn't happen to tape his recent "return to the nightmare"
         did you?  It was shown on ITV's night network a few weeks ago.
         Or is there anyone else out there that did?

    	No, I didn't tape it...
    
	OK, I'll need to check this lyric later, but I'm pretty sure
    it is:
    
    	"Rock and roll is the game you play"

    Oh dear, does the deafening silence mean that you lot want *help*?
    
    Well, the song in question has a very nautical flavour, it was a
    single during the early '80s, though it didn't do very well in the
    Top 40. 
    
    There, have *another* try!
    
    Ian!

    
    Are we trying to guess .340 now?
    
    Is it XTC? Can't remember the song's title but can recall the video.
    
    Marc.

    
    XTC it is.  Take it, Marc.  Even though you can't remember the
    title, the fact that you can recall the video tips the balance
    in your favour.....8^)
    
    Ian!
    
    P.s. Oh, the title of the song is "All You Pretty Girls"

    Thanks Ian,
    
    'My notebook, my Limit, ...'
    
     The next song on the album is probably a better choice
     however I don't know the first line to that off hand. I'll enter
     it on Monday as a clue if no one guesses correctly. 
                                                         
     Marc.

    
    Hmmm... I think you could do with some clues here, I did in fact
    get the first line wrong it should be:
    
    'My diplomacy, my security, my hope and my ice cream, my tomorrow
    and my temperature, ...my notebook, my limit, ...' 
    
    If you've got the album then you'll know the song. If not then this
    is where you're find that brilliant song covered by those nutty boys
    just before they split/changed their name. I'll accept the name
    of the album.
    
    Marc.

    
    Some more clues ...
    
    The song covered by Madness was 'The Sweetest Girl' now all you've
    got to do is name the original artist and album on which his (hint)
    version appeared. He has a new album out at the moment.
     
    If you want to go for the song as well then it's title is in the last 
    line of the lyrics being the only line not in the form 'my ....'.  
    
    Marc.

    
    The original artist is Scritti Politti from the album Songs To Remember.

    
    Re : 355:
    
    Take it away! The song was 'Lions After Slumber' the lyrics were
    used in a review of his new album in last week's NME which prompted
    me to dig out my copy of 'Songs to Remeber', probably end up playing
    it all summer.

    Was it 'Giving it all Away' by Roger Daltrey and Leo Sayer? But then

    Well you see, the movie that my selection was from, "Back to the

    their roles from the classic series of "Baech Party" movies of the
    early sixties.

    Re: 487
    
    Well, Thanks very much, that explains it all!!
    
    Re: 488 & 489
    
    Couldn't agree more!

    I don't think my selection was at all obscure.  It received a lot
    of attention, due to Fishbone's popularity in the Ska set, the novelty
    of Annette Funicello and the fact that it was from a moderately
    popular movie last year.  I've read first-liners that were considerably
    more obscure than that.  I don't listen to much in the way of top-40,
    so choosing only a-sides of chart hits is virtually impossible for
    me.

    What's popular here in the US isn't always popular in the UK.  
    (Much to their relief, I'm sure!) We should all try to post 
    1st liners that *everyone* has a shot at guessing not just 
    one group of folks or another.

    Okay. I hang my head in shame and apologize for being so bold as
    to assume that Annette Funicello's sunny countenance was an
    international symbol of goodwill and hope.  :-)
    
    The "Papa Oom Mow Mow" wasn't a first liner. It was an attempt to
    proudly declare my unflagging devotion to silly surf-music. It was
    in fact the *chorus* to "Surfin' Bird" which Joe Turner already
    got.

    This must be Level 42's "Leaving Me Now", right?

    Welcome back Dougie and you are off to a good start.
    Yes it's from their 'World Machine'.
    It's your 'spin' next....
    

    Dave, I could hardly have missed on that one - for some reason.
    it was played over and over again in the bars and disco (note
    singular!) in Corfu.....anyway, here's the next one :-
    
    "Peeling the skin back from my eyes"
    
    Hopefully not to obscure - from one of the (in my opinion) biggest
    near-misses of the 80's.

    
    Sounds like something off the last album 'The The' album.

    Uncertain emotions force an uncertain smile...

    I've got you under my skin where the rain can't get in,
    But if the sweat pours out, just shout,
    I'll try to swim and pull you out.....

   Personally, the  album  ("Soul Mining") is a phenomenal work, better than
   Johnson's  '85 LP "Infected", but not as good as his first, "Burning Blue
   Soul".  MTV actually showed the video for "This is the Day" a bit ago...
   The  12"  of "Uncertain Smile" is oodles and loads better than the single
   mix....  and  how  can  anyone  not get blown away by Jools Holland's HOT
   piano licks at the end????

   Gimme a bit to think of a -good- one...

    Hey Joe, right on the button!  Didn't think this one would last
    too long somehow - take it away!!!

    "Is it lasting?"
