Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

There's yet another "Guess the song from the lyrics" music meme going around atm and I wanna play too. But as I don't have any music on this PoS PC or an MP3 player with music on it, I'm going to have to do this pretty much from memory. ETA: Heh, this ended up as kind of a musical history of a Mitchy, although not strictly in order. If anyone gets no. 3 without extensive Googling, 'm gonna be impressed.

The current meme suggests 40 lyrics but the thought of doing that is making my brain cry so I'm gonna do 20 :)

1) But the stars we could reach/were just starfish on the beach - bibliogirl
2) Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen/Carry me back to the days I knew then. - bibliogirl
3) Hey Control, this is 67 here / I can hear you loud and I can hear you clear yehbibliogirl
4) Still there was a way to hear her voice again/The phone rang one, the phone rang twice/And then I heard her say
5) And soldiers coming home like shadows turning red - thessalian
6) I know what you think/The girl means business/So I'll offer her a drink - bibliogirl
7) There's a motorway/It's a monument/To distant cities with distant cries
8) I know what it means to work hard on machines/It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why - bibliogirl
9) And here I am/Tryin' to keep you in my line of sight/I'm never certain that you read me right - thessalian
10) I guess we all have these feelings/We can't leave unreconciled/Some of them burned on our ceilings
11) I'm sure he once walked down our street/'cause he painted kids who wore nowt on their feet - bibliogirl
12) I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two/Lying awake intent at tuning in on you - thessalian
13) The Gods may throw a dice/Their minds as cold as ice - bibliogirl
14) No one in your life is with you constantly/No one is completely on your side - bibliogirl
15) Eight to Ten years after coming home almost eight hundred thousand men/Are still fighting the Vietnam War - bibliogirl
16) I reached inside myself and found/Nothing there to ease the pressure/Off my ever worrying mind - bibliogirl
17) Come from greed/Never born of the seed/Took life from a barren land - silenttex
18) Young hearts are foolish, they make such mistakes/They're much too eager to give their love away - combined effort by silenttex and itsjustaname
19) You can't turn back the clock/You can't turn back the tide/Ain't that a shame/I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride
20) Please don't put your life in the hands/Of a rock 'n' roll band/Who'll throw it all away - thessalian
