I think you've stumped us with that one, Alan. Why don't you put us out of our misery and try something a bit easier (i.e. something I'll know :lol: )?

As team Wright are taking their time, I'm going to put up another one. (I'm like this at karaoke too. Once I get a mike in my hands, it's very hard to get me to sit down.)

These people round here wear beaten down eyes sunk in smoke dried faces so resigned to what their fate is.

Sounds like a plan! :P

And seeing as you got that one right, why not post another tune while the Wrights are thinking about what to put up next?

Ok you asked for it but you will have to be really old to get this one, its also more cult than mainstream :-

Good guess, but no cigar. The lines in Paradise that come closest are

I listen to some weird stuff... if this is too hard, I'll give hints... or a more recent song.

"The engine with blood was sweaty and damp
And brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp
And imps for fuel was shoveling bones
While the furnace rang with a thousand groans"

Sounds like some kind of death metal band. I'm pretty sure I don't know it.

Let's leave that as a bonus question.
