Name That Tune...

[Penny12]

Ok...as this seemed to be quite popular before, and as my <i>only</i> chance of participating in such a thread is by starting it because I never know any of the answers myself, hehehe, I figured it was time to give it another go.

For those not familiar with the game - I give you some lyrics. If you recognise the song <b>and</b> artist, post the answer and it becomes your turn to give us some lyrics for everyone else to guess, and so on, and so on....till we get bored (so I hope atleast one person replies to this! )

Right here we go, a nice easy on to start...

<i><b>My girlfriend's gone off with my car

and gone back to her ma and pa

telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.</b></i>

Crazy days but you'll get me through
And here I'll stay holding on to you

Our thoughts unpure
Will unlock the door
And we will have a jolly good time

You can't sneak a Guns N Roses one past me that easily! Sweet Child 'O Mine, if I'm not mistaken.

I'll try a harder one - or at least, it's one that comes from my slightly bizarre tastes in music, so it should be!

There's a picture opposite me,
of my primitive ancestry,
which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free.

Save a prayer - Duran Duran (that brought back lots of memories!)

We left you in pastures rarely seen, holdiing out the fortress for a while. Everyone knew why the calm had been, keeping friends among you saves a fight.
