Okay, its not railway related, but it's just for fun and it will get your mind working. Below are some of the lyrics to ten songs that got to number one in the official UK top 40 singles chart. One is from the 70s, two from the 80s, five from the 90s and two from 2000 or after. All you have to do is name the songs, you can name the year it reached the top if you want to.
1.
Today's the day, we're out to play
And lost our way, it's always the same - oh baby now
Climbed the trees, swam the seven seas
We've grazed our knees and no-one's to blame
2.
You say you love, say you love me
But youre never there for me, yeah, mmm...hmm...
Youll be cryin, slowly dyin
When I decide to leave, oh, oh
3.
if this world is wearing thin
and you're thinking of escape
i'll go anywhere with you
just wrap me up in chains
but if you try to go alone
don't think i'll understand
4.
Sometimes I feel I'm gonna break down and cry (so lonely)
Nowhere to go, nothing to do with my time
I get lonely, so lonely,
5.
Every night in my dreams
I see you, i feel you,
That is how i know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
6.
Sometimes you're better off dead
There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
7.
Good morning miss
Can I help you son?
Sixteen today
And up for fun
I'm a big boy now
Or so they say
So if you'll serve
I'll be on my way
8.
You could hear the hoofbeats pound as they raced across the ground
And the clatter of the wheels as they spun 'round and 'round
And he galloped into Market Street, his badge upon his chest
9.
It's a bit early in the midnight hour for me
To go through all the things that I want to be
I don't believe in everything I see
You know I'm blind so why d'you disagree?
10.
DJ's got the party started
theres no end in sight
Everybody's movin to the
rythym thats inside
Its a crazy world
But tonight's the right situation
Don't get left behind
