Oh yes I see , Ta . I was wondering if you could put out some ads for
your Elusive Song Title answering service to get people with questions (or answers) to pass through. I see Chaotic Mass says you can post stuff on their page or maybe in your travels leave footnotes on forum entries ie.. "P.S."NAME THAT TUNE!Elusive Song Title Answering Service, visit......"(or is that not"done"?)
Here's one to practice on "Looking down on empty streets, all she can see are the dreams all made solid, are the dreams made real. All of the buildings all of those cars were once just a dream in somebody's head

Well if you will make it easy ... starting at the beginning, and all that.
Have you seen the video of 'Steam'? Awesome (well I liked it).

'Progressive' - that's the word I was searching for when I was talking to someone about PG the other day.
Has it really been that long? *gulp* (I was just a child ... tee hee). Another great vid. You should visit his site at www.realworld.co.uk and see 'Steam' (it takes a while to download, but I thought it was worth it).
Anyway, here's one for you -
'will you stand above me, look my way but never love me, rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling down...' (I'll be very impressed!)
PS just to keep the confusion going, have posted another lyric at the original EST (nifty acronym).

Urmmmmm ... perhaps I'm a bit simple minded for that one, but it does ring a bell. (Hint: why not go to your record/CD collection/switch on radio and the song track might materialise. Hey, it worked before.)

Obviously it is 'more elusive'. Are you still alive and kicking? Sanctify yourself. All the things she said, she said...
'will you recognise me, call my name or walk on by, rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling down'
(Anyone?)

I know I know , I already went down to the Waterfront, talked to the American (my 2 faves) but no luck, I only have the greatest hits(or did once upon a time)and thats in the half of my collection thats in storage at the moment.This new one rings a bell though ,Trouble is that PG Red rain one keeps getting in the way in my head.My other Rain one was the Beatles- "Rain" by the way.Off for hols after today , may be back if the weather craps out, hoping to get a fair bit of Surfing done and even maybe try sand yachting which I've always thought looked like fun.Catch you later

*loud applause* Give yourself a smartie! I thought I was going to have to go for cryptic clues about small blue flowers, or meeting at the breakfast club.
Now then...it wouldn't have something to do with a paranoid android, would it? Try this -
'Monday, I could wait 'til Tuesday, if I make up my mind, Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind, Friday'd give me time, Saturday could wait, but Sunday'd be too late'

I can't breakaway, though you make me cry. I can't breakaway, I can't say goodbye *to h2g2*
Urm, Friday I'm in love (is that the title??)
Second one, double urm.
Clue? Used to be one of the boys in blue (and a teacher before that). If that's not good enough, go home! (My home, that is).

Ditto, 'til I've caught up with my studying (one month to exam - eek!) Can't afford it either! ('Til Tempo comes up with the goods). Really want to do more with my page too. Probably TRY to stick to weekends(!?!)
'Breakaway' was just thrown in as a reference to your attempting to tear yourself away! But it keeps the theme going! Meanwhile, just found a lyric book while 're-organising' (ie sifting through the junk) today, so plenty of ammunition now! Something to keep you going (perhaps also titled for H2G2?!):
'And maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely times, and I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that you're mine'.
Can I suggest we both create a user page to gather our ideas for 'Name That Tune' (unlike forums, pages can be re-written!), whilst we design the 'winning formula' (and maybe even submit it?!). Then we can both link it from our home pages. I'll go start an 'experimental' page (and forum, just in case of visitors!), and drop you the link later.
Chow! (Whatever that means)
