Tricky quiz... for Burt experts only!

Post by rasputin »

OK, here's a "Name That Tune" quiz... for true Burt fans only. Below are brief quotations of lyrics from various Burt songs over his long career so far... (The lyricists include several that he's worked with over the years.)

Good luck! :wink:


1. "...no doubts, no fears..."

2. "pecking on a chicken bone"

3. "eichelberger's address"

4. "day by day, they make their way"

5. "naked trees bend stubbornly"

6. "so far away is the April breeze"

7. They're closin' in, they're closin' in"

8. "if good fortune deserts us..."

9. "...fixed in that fine silver frame..."

10. "a smile... a joke... and oh such a great big line"

11. "When I'm hurt, I revert"

12. "Someone he's proud to come home to"

13. "...ooh, what a far-out lady"

14. "I would like to try it"

15. "your stomach's full"

16. "I'm afraid my heart isn't very smart"

17. "instead of holding him close to me, I let him slip away"

18. "Maybe I'll be the things I dream... and not the things I see"

19. "She'll complain a bit... because she feels upset."

20. "There's just no use... Why try to make an excuse?"
