Saturday Snapshots #148: The Answers


You should have used the Force to crack yesterday's clues. It makes them so much easier...




10. Pray for the lass, twice.



9. We'll probably be eating breakfast on our own.


Breakfast at Tiffany's?

Another word for discharge is emit. 


R.I.P.

7. Recovered so well, they named them twice.


New York was so good they named it twice.


6. Born again in Harlem with underlined horticulturist & the Silver Skates.


Resurrected where they do the shuffle.

"Hans Brinker; or, the Silver Skates: A Story of Life in Holland" is the story of the little Dutch boy who puts his finger in a dike.


5. McFly meet the only man at Number Ten: objects.


Marty McFly.

The only man in God Bless The Girl (#10) is Stuart Murdoch (also of Belle & Sebastian).


4. Shaken by rough winds, causing a crash landing.


Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, 
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.


3. Nightshade fire around pier, column and abutment.


Peppers come from the Nightshade family. If they're on fire, they're red hot.

Piers, columns and abutments are found under bridges.

My Top Ten Isolation Songs


Inspired by Swiss Adam's excellent Isolation Mixes, here's ten songs about keeping your distance. I make no apologies for the fact that the Number One song appeared here just a couple of weeks ago.


10. Teri Nunn - Dancing In Isolation

Stop dancing in isolation

9. The Hoodoo Gurus - Isolation

You from me isolation!
Quarantine, Isolation! Refugee, isolation!
Apathy, isolation! 

8. Toto - Isolation

I'm stranded here in a dream and there's no ticket back
I feel a cold wind blowin', my future looks black

7. John Lennon - Isolation

The sun will never disappear,
but the world may not have many years.
Isolation.

(I'm a fan of the Mercury Rev version.)

6. Joy Division - Isolation

In fear every day, every evening

5. John Mellencamp - The Isolation of Mister

I always felt like sorrow was a lesson
I always felt I needed to feel the pain
I thought happiness was a transgression
And I just took it as it came
I never wanted to say too much
To other people I did not understand

4. The Chameleons - Soul In Isolation

Oh, when you think of it, when you think of it
We're all souls in isolation
Alive in here, I'm alive in here
I'm alive in here

3. Iggy Pop - Isolation

Got a lot to do
Got a lot to say
Got a life to live
Here I stand
In isolation

2. The Darling Buds - Isolation

Silence
Does it ever get that good?

1. Warren Zevon - Splendid Isolation

Cool live version, different to the album version I posted recently. Just for variety.

Don't want to wake up with no one beside me
Don't want to take up with nobody new
Don't want nobody coming by without calling first
Don't want nothing to do with you
