Opening Line: 21 July 2006 (and a round-up)

Hi folks.

This has been going for a few days now so I thought I would offer you a daily line AND a round up of the story so far.

Today's opening song line:

"Between Marx and marzipan in the dictionary there was Mary"



That should be do-able...


Anyway, here's a round up of thed daily opening lines so far (and a note of those still outstanding and open for guesses - I've put those in bold):


5 July 2006: "One. She prefers the night to day." - My Life Story, "Twelve Reasons Why" guessed by Neil

6 July 2006: "The word is about, there's something evolving" - Propellerheads / Dame Shirley Bassey, "History Repeating" guessed by Scott Matthewman

7 July 2006: "La da di da, no one ever promised anything, no one ever promised you anything" - no guesses but I gave the answer in the comments. It's by Geneva "No One Speaks"

8 July 2006: "Well it happened years ago, when you lived on Stanhope Road" - Pulp "Babies" guessed by Kerron (but EineKleineRob did get it was Pulp but he couldn't place the track without googling...)

9 July 2006: "I can't sleep tonight, Everybody saying everything's alright" - Travis "Why Does It Always Rain on Me?" guessed by Alan

10 July 2006: "It’s that time again when I lose my friends, go walkabout, I’ve got the bends from pressure" - James "Come Home" guesed by Stu_N

11 July 2006: "Straight lines that cut through the scene like you wanted to"
Oooh... this one still hasn't been got. Come on, I know at least ONE reader can get this...
UPDATE: thank you George... you didn't let me down!

12 July 2006: "Here I stand, head in hand, turn my face to the wall" - The Beatles, "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" guessed by Kerron

13 July 2006: "I wanna know where the weather is cold" - David Thomas and Two Pale Boys "Man in the Dark" eventually (kinda) guessed by Neil

15 July 2006: "They cried the tears, they shed the fears up and down the land" - The Clash "Hitsville UK" guessed (as hoped) by Reidski selected in honour of me and Neil meeting up with him and JJ

17 July 2006: "I guess I kinda sort of know I ought to be..."
No takers on this one yet.
