Name That Tune (Lyrics)

[SRP76]

After seeing a few people tossing lyrics around in the "song you're listening to" thread, I figured this game might get over here. It's played on a lot of other boards.

Rules are simple: (some) lyrics to a song are posted. The next poster tries to guess what song they are from. If correct, he or she then posts lyrics of his or her own. And then we go frm there. Simple, right?

There is no penalty for cheating. That's what google was invented for. But getting them with your own knowledge gets you bragging rights.

I'll start out. Here we go:


Oh the night is my world
City light painted girls
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters

I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight...
Against a new tomorrow
So I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never knows

A safe flight I'm living in the forest of my dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something
So I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go
Ohoho, ohoho, ohoho, ohoho Ohoho...


Hint: Any fan of GTA: Vice City is guaranteed to have heard this song at least 50 times.

Sh!t... I've listened to GTA by proxy about 500 times and I still don't know who this is. *goes away to ponder*

here goes:


if there's a goal that everyone remembers
it was back in ol'72
we all squeezed the stick and we all pulled the trigger
but all i remember is sitting beside you
you said you didn't give a fu*k about hockey
and i never saw someone say that before

you held my hand and we walked home the long way
you were loosening my grip on bobby orr

[Philly_SWAT]

This seems amazingly obscure.....isnt the idea that a fair amount of people might have actually heard the song?

Here is an easy one...

I never like to lose a nickel
Although I am a gambling fan
Smoke the cigarettes until my throat is raw
Don't believe in living to a plan
