Lyrics Quiz: Beautiful Day


If you are a World Cup fan, you have undoubtedly been inundated with U2 music lately and I thought I would take one of their most summer (which starts up next week officially) ready song through the Genius feature in iTunes and here are twenty-five songs it gave back to me for Beautiful Day. As always leave your guesses, both artist and song title, in the comment section or e-mail me. If you are correct I will un-bold the lyric. Please keep in mind the lyrics quiz is for entertainment purposes only so please only use your own meandering mind to guess them. Now onto the lyric quiz:


1. I was lost, I was lost, crossed lines I shouldn’t have crossed. I was lost, oh, yeah.
2. Let’s go and see the stars, the Milky Way, or even Mars. Well it could just be ours.  (Fly Away - Lenny Kravitz; guessed by Rebekah)
3. Sunday all the lights in London shine and the sky is fading red to blue. And I’m kicking through the autumn leaves and wondering where it is you might be going to.
4. Andy are you goofing on Elvis (Hey baby)? Are we losing touch? (Man On the Moon - R.E.M.; guessed by Rebekah)
5. Step outside the summertime’s in bloom. Stand up beside the fireplace. Take that look from off your face.
6. And when the worrying starts to hurt. And the world feels like graves of dirt.
7. Boy, one day you’ll be a man. Oh girl, he’ll help you understand.

8. Her friends are so jealous. You know how bad girls get. Sometimes it’s not so easy to be the teacher’s pet. (Don't Stand So Close to Me - The Police; guessed by Rebekah)
9. I don’t want to call my friends; they might wake me from this dream. And I leave this bed, risk forgetting all that’s been.
10. She parks her car outside my house, takes her clothes off. Says she’s close to understanding Jesus. (Round Here - Counting Crows; guessed by Rebekah)
11. Driving in on this highway. All these cars and up on the sidewalk, people in all directions. No words exchanged; no time to exchange them. (Ants Marching - Dave Matthews Band; guessed by Rebekah)
12. So slide over here and give me a moment. Your moves are so raw.
13. Steak Knife. Caro Shark. Con Job. Boot Cut.

14. Heaven holds a place for those who pray. Hey hey hey. (Mrs. Robinson - Simon and Garfunkel; guessed by Rebekah)
15. Do they know wher we go when we’re grey and old? Cause I have been told that salvation lets their wings unfold.
16. I sank into Eden with you alone in the Church by and by. I’ll read to you here, save your eyes. (I Alone - Live; guessed by Rebekah)
17. How many train wrecks do we need to see before we lose touch of? We thought this was low, well; it's bad, getting worse.
18. The embers never fade in your city by the lake, the place where you were born.
19. This is what you get; this is what you get when you mess with us.
20. You are the bearer of unconditional things. You held your breath an the door for me. Thanks for your patience.

21. You Catholic girls start much too late. But sooner or later it comes down to fate. I might as wel be the one. (Only the Good Die Young - Billy Joel; guessed by Rebekah)
22. You live in a church where you sleep with voodoo dolls. And you won’t give up the search for the ghosts in the halls. (Building a Mystery - Sarah McLachlan; guessed by Rebekah)
23. I’m coming down, the world turned over. Angels fall without you there.
24. Hey, don't let it go to waste. I love it but, I hate that taste. Weight keeping me down.
25. This is a call to the colorblind, this is an IOU. I’m stranded behind the horizon line.

  2. Rebekah, #12, you have the right artist, but that is not the name of the song, just another lyric from it.
