All we wanted to do is have a good time, then they went and took our house away 14. Imagination never lets us take the blame 15. Don't need no credit card to ride this train 16. I've been to paradise 17. All the world is football shaped, its just for me to kick its face 18. He’s his family's pride and joy, his mother's little golden boy 19. Where do we go from here? Is it down to the lake I fear? 20. Across the Serengeti 21. Hand in hand is the only way to land, always the right way round 22. I've got this feeling of emotion, a sudden sense of liberty 23. And all I wanted was a word 24. We’re not going to live in silence, we're not going to live in fear 25. So what do you want of me, got no words of sympathy 26. I could sail a mile down the Nile 27. A pseudonym to fool him, she couldn't have made a worse move 28. The head of the herd was calling far far away 29. We could dance and party all night and drink some cherry wine (ah-ha) 30.

Look these eyes are just holograms look your love has drawn red from my hands 35. Been on the bottom line sure ain't no fun 36. You know the rules and so do I 37. Politician granny with your high ideals, have you no idea how the majority feels? 38. They asked me how I got her I said, "I saved my money" 39. You could've turned around and hit me and I wouldn't have cared 40. The room is lit red danger 41. there's danger in emotional ties 42. Because the law don't change in people's minds 43.

More than an ocean keeps us apart 45. are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you? 46. damn hypocrite smokes two packs a day 47. it brings out the animal in me 48. Tonight is the night for feeling alright 49. Lenny Bruce is not afraid 50. when we made love you used to cry 51. just one smack and I was out of whack 52. And many fantasies were learned on that day 53. Wows are few, frustration more common 54. and the judge and the jury, they all put the blame on me 55. Le rum et mumba, embouteillages 56. Chez les Blacks chez les Sikhs chez les Jaunes 57. If so how often? Which do you choose the hard or soft option? 58. Money’s all that you can score 59. Words in pictures, words in books 60. I’m looking for someone, someone I know I can count on 61. Tongue's tired, too short of breath to even try. Ooh, try a little harder. 62. You're such a hot temptation 63. Let's head for home now. Everything I have is yours 64. You can have a big dipper; going up and down, around the bends 65. And you go home and you cry and you want to die 66. Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind. I always give it up for the touch of a younger kind 67. One hundred million castaways looking for a home 68. New York, London, Paris, Munich 69. Talk about it talk about it talk about it talk about it 70. You've got the power to know 71. And I've never been close in all of these years 72. I get up but nothing gets me down 73. Run from the sun little one 74. You know you're missing out on something and that something depends on you 75. I'll lay down my coat so you can walk over a puddle 76. Don’t drink, don't smoke, what do you do? 77. Yesterday I felt so old it made me want to cry 78. I love you more than you love me 79. She unscrews the top from an old whisky bottle 80. These are the days when you wish your bed was already made 81. I don't feel too steady on my feet 82. I want to be with you be with you night and day 83. Got to find a way, find a way to get a way 84. Those two wet gits with their girly curly hair 85. Rolling like thunder under the covers 86. Working in a factory eight days a week 87. We're gonna drink a barrel and much much more 88. Some of them want to be abused 89. How can we dance while our world is turning 90. It was 4am in the morning 91. How long, how low, how high can you 92. Take or leave us only please believe us 93. I've got something to tell you, I've got something to say 94. She knows I'm there, I'm always there but heaven knows 95. Blessed is the millionaire who shares your wedding day 96. It’s the house on the hill 97. Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone and Judy left the same time 98. You took a whole lot of something from a handful of nothing 99. As you walk on by, will you call my name? 100. And love means nothing in some strange quarters 101. Throw off your mental chains 102. I want a doctor to take a picture so I can look at you from inside as well 103. I could get a train, I don't want no hamburgers, no take-aways 104. I wonder who's watching me now - the IRS? 105. Don't you rush to get old 106. Nobody going to hold me down, I've got to keep on moving 107. You give me one good reason to leave me 108. Zippy Bungle Jeffrey Archer 109. Reared on a diet of prejudice and misinformation 110. Electricity flows like the very first kiss 111. Let me hear your body talk 112. You took a mystery and made me want it, you took a pedestal and put me on it 113. I was a superstar, I was tres populaire 114. While the sun shines, stick around laugh a while 115. Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to 116. She fell asleep, I stayed awake and watched the passing cars 117. Are you laughing at me now? Can I please laugh along with you? 118. Your life's a mystery, mine is an open book 119. They've got glass tables you can watch yourself while you are eating 120. A thousand lonely housewives clutching milk bottles to their hearts 121. I liked the idea but now I'm not so Keyne keen 122. I'd like to see you baby, I'd like to keynoveh 123. If you hear something late at night, some kind of trouble some kind of fight 124. The wind blows right through you it's no place for the old 125. Keep a little here just to keep you in beer 126. And his mind is a beacon in the vale of the night 127. We'll always be together, however far it seems 128. Is there life in Peckham? 129. A penny for your thoughts my dear 130. But he just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich 131. Got to have a J.O.B. if you want to be with me 132. If you don't dance then you're no friend of mine 133. Side by side on my piano keyboard 134. Before you know it you'll be on your knees 135. Now he's doing horse, it's June 136. All I know is that to me you look like you're having fun 137. Will our braces lock? 138. Is this really love or just a game? 139. Well I know 'cos I think about it every day 140. When I called you last night from Glasgow 141. I know nothing stays the same but if you're willing to play the game 142. Don't tell me that you think it's green, me I know it's red 143. We were cool on craze 144. I lost mine too on that very first night with you 145. Every time you call my name I heat up like a burning flame 146. You raise me up then you let me fall 147. Look out boy she'll chew you up 148. Learn to fly again, fly again so free 149. He broke a million hearts in mono 150. Flying in the face of fashion 151. Bless my cotton socks I'm in the news 152. Better read between the lines in case I need it when I'm older 153. In time you'll see, fate holds the key 154. Coast to coast LA to Chicago 155. He's got to have big blue eyes, be able to satisfy 156. Waving to the girls, feeling out of sight 157. Children smiling in the street are gone without a trace 158. Played it till my fingers bled 159. Blue jeans and chinos, Pepsi and Oreos 160. Roll me in designer sheets I'll never get enough 161. When I was I boy, Mama used to say, don't stay out too late. 162. You-oo-oo, You've been gone for so long 163. Just walk away, I don't want you seeing me crying 164. I'd like to take her home, you know it's understood 165. He used to give me roses, I wish he could again 166. It's me again now how did you guess, 'cos last time you were really impressed 167. I'm flying high like a rocket in the sky 168. Look at me standing here on my own again 169. Where’s my wife and family? 170. You like to think that you're immune to the stuff 171. Cut me a heart on a tree and see 172. Strangled by the wishes of pater 173. I will surely miss your tender kiss 174. When I die and they lay me to rest I'm going to go to the place that's the best 175. Too many people take second best but I won't take anything less 176. and the butterflies in me arise slowly we make love 177. I am an ocean wave my love 178. You called me Clive...Alex is the name that I go by 179. I will decide when I go or I don't go 180. Statistical reminder of a world that doesn't care 181. The truth is harder than the pain inside 182. You're looking good today, looking good in every way 183. Hey Baby what you trying to say 184. You don't have to say you love me, you don't have to say you care 185. Daddy daddy if you could only see just how good he's been treating me 186. In my imagination there is no complication 187. Reminds me of childhood memories 188. You've got a beautiful chin you've got beautiful skin 189. Hey there you with the sad face 190. I'm going crazy just to let you know - you'll be amazed how much I love you so 191. Throughout the night, through my mind she runs 192. There's an old piano and it's playing hop 193. Too much fighting on the dance floor 194. Or in the streets of Brazil 195. None of them received a hero's welcome 196. A place where nobody dared to go the love that we came to know 197. I don't know why sometimes I get frightened 198. It's like a jungle out there, sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under 199. Woke up in the morning and my love was gone 200. Anger is an energy |

1. A few years ago a friend and I did a similar one |
We sat in a tea shop for hours - I'm sure we drove the other patrons nuts, but we got most of them. :D
