Quotable quotes trivia item

Quotable quotes trivia item:
O.k., here's how this works. Post some lyrics. The goal is to get the
group and the song. If nobody can guess either, clues might be given, or
(preferably) more lyrics, from that song or another. To keep things
from getting bogged down, feel free to do favorite lyrics, but avoid
deliberately finding obscure lyrics. As with most trivia items, the
person who answers one correctly gets to ask the next one.
Exx of obscure lyrics:
"In my nightmare, we're all so happy."
"From out the east there came three men, their fortunes for to find."
"To find there's no Hope Road there."
(Guess all three, you get a cookie. :)

O.k., let's start with an easy one:
"This is a song about a superhero named Tony. It's called..."
(Well, easy for Buk, I suspect.)

It's Pixies from Surfer Rosa, don't know the name of the song as
my tape has no song names on it...

"We jumped up on the table and shouted anarchy, then someone played a beachboys
song on the jukebox." Okay Maybe it's too easy but...

Here's a medium hard one: "I dreamed last night that you were flying
circles around me."

Peacefrg: You have to get one right before you can post the next one. ;)
Raven: Actually, it's "Tony's Theme", but that's close enough.
Hmmmm.... no guess on yours.

Here's a couple more from the same artist: "This hairdos truely evil,
I'm not sure it's mine," and "I laughed till my heart stoped."

Eep! Two threads... how do the other trivia items behave?
*oh well*
Raven: Sounds like a punk group, early 80s... your handle suggests Killing
Joke, but that may just be q coincidence, since I don't recognize the lyrics.

Not punk though this person sang with a postpunk group in the late
80s. This album is just voice acoustic guitar and cello.
My handle is the bird Raven no more no less...

Cello ?! Interesting...
One guess for group that pops to mind is Jonathan Richman, but my feeling
is the Modern Lovers are a bit too early, and at any rate I don't know any of
their songs. :-(
(No offence, Raven, I figured as much re: the name. Just that Killing
Joke's lead singer, I think, is Paul Raven -- but I'll mention it
nevermore.)

re # 12 If you want to offend me you'll have to try harder than
that :-). No not not the Modern Lovers, this is a grrrl singer.

I know #2 from R#0, "From out the east there came three men, there fortunes
for to find." I believe those are the lyrics to the folk song John
Barleycorn, covered by groupd like Traffic, Steeleye Span, and the John
Renbourn Group...?

No not Siouxsie though the post punk group from Boston that she
was in reminds of good early Siouxsie. One member of the group she was
in left it to form Belley. That's all the clues you get!

Gee, I never did tell you what the ones in #0 were.... hehehe
Yes, Anthony, that's John Barleycorn, written by some famous Irish poet
whose name eludes me and covered by Traffic and others.
The others, if anyone cares, were Anne Clark's "Hope Road" and
Danse Society's "In my nightmare". Now, raise your hand if you
heard of either of those groups... be honest.

Then it must be Throwing Muses...
Are you referring to Tanya Donnely, or Kristin Hersch?

"I dreamed last night I got on the boat to Heaven..."
"Once upon a time, not long ago, the head of every studio knew how and when to
play his aces..."
(easy one) "The hills are alive with the sound of music."

May I put in a quote?
"You ask me if I love you, why do ships with sails love the wind?"

(23 reminds me of: "You ask me if I love you, Does the Pope live in the woods?
Quod erat demonstrandum, baby." "Ooo! You speak French" ["Airhead", Thomas
Dolby])
