Think You Know Your Rock Lyrics?

Rate: 7 Flag

OK, so can you name the songs and artists below?

No cover versions allowed, only original recordings...

 

1. Sit by the fire and dry out our wet clothes

2. But Gollum, the evil one, crept up and slipped away with her

3. See the blind man shooting at the world

4. Why can't we stay that way? Why can't we play today?

5. Selling atonal apples

6. Standing at the crossroad, trying to read the signs, to tell me which way I should go

7. We come from the land of the ice and snow

8. I've been thinking about our fortune

9. I walked for miles, my feet are hurting

10. We gonna cause talk and suspicion, give an exhibition

11. Every single day I gotta heartache coming my way

12. I wait outside the pilgrim's door with insufficient schemes

13. There's always been Ethel

14. Grab your things I've come to take you home

15. The hillside was a patchwork quilt

16. You just might pick up my magic sticks

17. Laying on my back in the newly mown grass

18. With kitchen prose and gutter rhymes
