Subject: RE: (Quiz) What song is this line from ?
Okay, here's a few from my list of favourites ;-)

bf1. There's a journey that we've never made
Never taken, always been afraid
(UK)

bf2. If you want to have a safe life then don't take risks
But you'll regret it in the future by realizing what you've missed
(AUS)

bf3. Don't talk to me about life's seasons
Don't ask me for answers, don't ask me for reasons
(AUS)

bf4. So they gave the corpse a sup, just to shut him up
And laid him on the bed without a prayer
(UK)

bf5. From Scotland's grey shores to the cold coast of Greenland
White Seas and Faroes they're making their way
(UK)

bf6. We've still got the tunes, fiddle strings and spoons
And if you've got the time, we've still got the rhymes
(US)

bf7. They share hearth and heather
They join the dance together
They shed their tears and joy
Then they're gone again forever
(US)

bf8. You're sweeter, stronger, decenter, you're spunkier than tae
(US)

bf9. I will travel lonely for this journey's only
Without thought of you
(UK)

bf10. And all ah did was ask her had her faither stayed at hame
The next ah ken was ah was in the midden
(UK)

bf11. For hundreds of years when the pipes gave the call
The Sinclairs have answered to fight or to fall
(UK)

bf12. Now he's forty going on eighty, with his eyes of hope bereft
And he told me this for certain, there's not many of us left
(UK)

bf13. My kitchen is filled with the smell of the sea
And the leaping green fishes my love brings to me
(AUS)

bf14. To throw a farmer's family out, that's the worst of any crimes
It was called the Great Depression, but I called it more hard times
(US)

bf15. But the year doesn't matter, there's always the drum
The guns and the government call men to come
(AUS)


NB: US (USA + Canada), UK (United Kingdom + Ireland)

Best wishes,
