D'Arts Music Quiz

[D'Art]

Due to popular demand (wel, just Zz's, but she's quite popular....) my quizzy thing is back, but I'm gonna make it a more general quiz this time. The first round is a lyrics one as before, but the rest will be different. As before 1 point for each correct answer (if you get both song and artist, it's 2 points). So, here goes....

1) Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.

2) It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing a hundred men or more could ever do

3) In these days of cool reflection
You come to me and everything seems alright

4) Child arrived just the other day
Came to the world in the usual way

5) I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday

6) Never made it as a wiseman
Never cut it as a poor man stealing

7) Come as you are, as you were
As I want you to be

8) I guess now it's time for me to give up
I feel it's time

9) You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar

10) What a drag it is, the shape I'm in
Well I go out somewhere and then I come home again

This round closes next thursday at some point, when I can bearsed getting round to it. Good luck folks, and rep to the winner.

I noticed that #8 and #10 were the only two that didn't turn up results with Google

...I really hope that's a coincidence

[poor_nizzie]

Hey! Watch yourself. The other ones were answered by other people, so why would I answer them again? Not like I've heard of any of those songs...

I think you will all find that my list might be a bit easier...whether that's good or bad I don't know...

I specifically tried to find hard-to-Google songs for the last few, but they're all definitely searchable out there on the Net for those who know where to look.

[poor_nizzie]

So...anyone wanna take a guess at some of the songs I quoted?
