She came all wrapped in cardboard...
All pink and shriveled down
A breath of air was all she needed
To make her lose that frown....



Quick-what song contains those lyrics, and who was it by? If you get it first, you win! :hi:

3. Thanks. Here's a tough one for you:
Take a lift to the top of the Empire State,
Take a drive across the Golden Gate
March, march, march across Red Square
Do all the things you've never dared

4. The Things That Dreams Are Made Of, by Human League
Great song off a great album! Too bad they got really lame later on.

5. I don't know, but it's pretty.
Can you post some more on this thread.

I like the naked lyrics thing...without being attached to a song title or artist they make you think about them harder.

I liked these, and I think that Sting is one of the most overrated artists of this era.

7. ....
"I had a dream and the dream came true,
I saw a ghost and the ghost was you,
But in my mind it was hard to see,
That it was only make-believe"


This one's a toughie, so here's a hint:

The song is from this 1980s group who's name suggests they were never actually a trio who started-out as a seven piece band.
