Quiz #7
You'll find 25 lyrics here - your challenge is to
identify the 25 songs that these lyrics were
taken from. The songs in this quiz cover a period ranging
from 1953 to 1998. A single
"theme" runs through every one of the 25 songs
in this edition of the quiz. In my judgment, this is
another easy theme to spot - but that's easy for me to
say. Identification of the theme is not mandatory, but
may be helpful in hunting down missing lyrics, and the
theme will be used to break ties amongst any players who
finish with identical point totals.
As always, the lyrics are presented
in alphabetical order by artist - be sure to provide the
artist and title as identified on the record release.
If you're joining the quiz for the
first time, note that precision counts when it comes to
scoring the submissions - be sure to give the exact song
title and the exact artist attribution for each song.
Please refer to the rules for full
details.
The submission deadline for this
quiz will be Friday, January 28th at 11:59 pm (eastern).

In case you failed to see
This is my heart bleeding before you

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way

Go away then, damn you
Go on and do as you please, yeah

The love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
