Second Lines
So there has been a request for second lines, and I’m feeling nice after my escape of the country (more of that later).
So here they are with their second lines or hints.
2. I’ve sung some songs that were lame. I’ve slept with girls on the game.
3. Telephone been ringing, ringing off the wall. Its your Las Vegas lawyer, another long distance call.
5. From London to Lisbon and all points between. Find people to lean on
And one man to please.
6. I’d rather be liberated. I find myself captivated.
7. People, places, pursuing the chases. Our moments were chosen.
8. Now the world is getting older. Theres a few things to be said.
9. I’ve been standing out in the rain. Ive been calling your name.
10. If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to fear. If you’ve got something to hide, you shouldn’t even be here.
11. (a-wa) o kodwa u zo-nge li-sa namhlange/ She’s a rich a girl. (Hint: this is the first line in English, rather than the second actual line).
12. Yes i'm lonely wanna die, Yes i'm lonely wanna die.
13. For you, there’ll be no more crying. For you, the sun will be shining,
14. Heaven on earth. We need it.
16. Mama, they try and break me. The window burns to light the way back home
18. Now I farmed in Carmsbury. When I were a boy.
19. I left you in the rain. (Hint (as second line has the title): I’ve blogged about the album this song is on fairly recently.)
20. How many of your people are there? Been hurt in some kind of love affair.

Ah, that's a bit better.
6. Mulder and Scully from the Catatonia album International Velvet.
11. Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes by Ladysmith Black Mambazmo (spelling?) - one of Caz's and one of the two artists I thought it might be, although I do also have the Paul Simon version.
More might come later. . .
Correct with both! No.11 shows my dad's music influences there ...
Bah! I'm pretty sure that number 12 comes from the second disc of the self-titled album The Beatles, but I don't know what it's called. Obviously not So Lonely.
... maybe
