Metal Mania - THE CHALLENGE

Ok…JAY started it over at ETS’s in a guest post entitled Calling all 80’s Metal Heads…. And I enjoyed playing along. So now I present to you a new Metal Lyrics challenge for your pleasure.

They range in time period a bit more than Jay’s…so I can’t call it an 80’s metal quiz. Anyway, I will give to you ten sets of lyrics. Guess the Song, Band and Album. No cheating by googling or you will go to hell. Got it?

Answers will be given Monday July 5th on Badgroove in a very blatant attempt at gaining readership.

Answers should be in the comments or in your head…however you wanna play. Anyway…put on your dunce caps and go:



1. Dressed to kill and looking dynomite
with her high laced stockings and her sweater so tight.
I askered her name…
she said her name was “Maybe.”

2.From the bottom, it looks lik a steep incline
From the top, another downhill slope of mine
but I know the equilibrium’s there
indecision clouds my vision

3.You know I call you
I call you on the telephone
I’m only hoping that you’re home
So I can hear you
When you say those words to me
and whisper so softly

4.I live my life like there’s no tomorrow
and all I’ve got, I had to steal.
Least I don’t need to beg or borrow.
Yes I’m living at a pace that kills.

5.Check out Mr.Politician in his suit and tie
but when the doors are closed there aint nothing he won’t try.
Meanwhile Mr. Medicine’s treating his best friend’s wife.
Tpper led the war against the record industry…
she said she saw the devil on her MTV

6.Wake up late
Honey put on your clothes
and Take your credit card
to the liquor store.

7. Apathy, their stepping stone.
So unfeeling
hidden deep animosity
so deceiving
Through your eyes their light burn
hoping to find
Inquisition sinking you
with prying minds

8. Stormy night under dead black skies, he pulls into town.
Thunder rolls and the lighning bold come crashing to the ground.
Cold as ice, hard as stone, he walks into the room.

9.You can run but you can’t hide
It’s just another day in the rat race
It seems like your falling behind.
So Tell me whatchya gonna do.
So you’re feeling down and out
And it seems like you’ve got no future…

10. (Whatever you do)
I’ll be two steps behind you.
(wherever you go)
I’ll be there to remind you
That it only takes a minute of your precious time
To turn around…



****

Extra Credit:

Cold late night so long ago
When I was not so strong you know
A pretty man came to me
Never seen eyes so blue
You know I could not run away
It seemed we’d seen each other in a dream
It seemed like he knew me
He looked right through me, yeah
