I have put together some groups of song lyrics.
In each group all the songs or the artists have something in common. Identify
the song and artists and tell me what they have in common.

Group A:

1.
"One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small
and the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all."

2.
"What started out as friendship has grown stronger,
I only wish I had the strength to let it show."

3.
"Here she comes again, when she's dancin 'neath the starry sky,
you kinda like the way she dips."

4.
"Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail!"

5.
"Carnival, the wheels fly and the colours spin through alcohol,
red wine that punctures the skin. Face to face in a dry and waterless place."



Group B:

1.
"The world is full of lonely people who never held on to love.
Last night I tried to reach you, but somehow it wasn't enough."

2.
"The judge and the jury, they all put the blame on me.
They wouldn't go for my story, they wouldn't hear my plea!"

3.
"I got to be your friend now, baby, and I would like to move in a little bit
closer."

4.
"It's a crazy situation. You always keep me waiting because it's only make
believe
and I would come a-running to give you all my loving."

5.
"If they ever get you down there's always something I can do
because I wouldn't ever wanna see you frown. I'll always do what's best for
you."




Group C:

1.
"Through the hour glass I saw you, in time you slipped away.
When the mirror crashed I called you and turned to hear you say."

2.
"One day, one night, one moment - with a dream to be leaving.
One step, one fall, one falter - find a new world across a wide ocean."



3.
"Just one veil of your heart, and strengthening of the fantasy.
I knew from the start it had to be the place for me."

4.
"The landlord say your rent is late.
He may have to litigate."

5.
"I'm not denying I'm frightened as much as you.
Though I'm barely touching you, I've shivers down my spine and it feels divine!"




Group D:

1.
"Drinking champagne is her pastime, making love is her mainline."

2.
"And then you're in, the man from Mars.
You go out at night eating cars."

3.
"Come and sit down, pull out a chair - speak the truth when you tell me you
care.
Don't be afraid to talk to your brother, get a hold on yourself and dry up your
tears"

4.
"Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind.
I was getting up from the touch of a younger kind."

5.
"There's a rumour goin' round the town that you don't want me around
I can't shake off my city blues - every way I turn I lose."




Group E:

1.
"Her an me and her and she and me: An uncrowded couple are we three."

2.
"Full moon in the city, and the night was young.
I was hungry for love, I was hungry for fun"

3.
"Sometimes the snow comes down in June,
sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon!"

4.
"Sunshine's down so come to town, set your body free
Hold me tight, my love tonight, tell me you believe"

5.
"No regrets but I wish that you were here with me; well, then there's hope yet
I can see your face in our secret place - you're not just a memory."



Group F:

1.
"Now the time is moving on and I really should be gone,
but you keep me hanging on for one more smile."

2.
"Don't let your indecision take you from behind,
trust your inner vision, don't let others change your mind."

3.
"Far across the distance and spaces between us, you have come to show you go
on."

4.
"The History book on the shelf is always repeating itself."

5.
"I remember sixty-two, I was sixteen and so were you,
and we lived next door, on the Avenue.
Jerry Lee was big, and Elvis too, blue jeans and blue suede shoes"




Group G:

1.
"Used to be a time when you would pamper me, usta brag about it all the time.
Your friends seem to think that you're so peachy keen
but my friends say neglect is on your mind - who's right?"

2.
"When you give a kiss there is no feeling, it's just a stiff and artificial
pose."

3.
"I got a feeling that you'll be alright. It's a natural feeling and it's
high-high-high."

4.
"I guess it all began a year ago, like a cheap love magazine.
You know the kind you read about, and had to laugh at the pages in between."

5.
"How can I hold you when you ain't even mine?
Only you can see me through, I leave it up to you."




Group H:

1.
"Frankenstein and Dracula have nothing on you. Jekyll and Hyde join the back of
the queue."

2.
"I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap. I wish I could eat your cancer when
you turn back."

3.
"So this ain't end - I saw you again today - had to turn my heart away"

4.
"I look into the mirror, see myself, I'm over me.
I need space for my desires, have to dive into my fantasies."


5.
"A broken heart can't be that bad, when it's through it's through -
fate will twist the both of you."




Group I:

1.
"I'm not saying I'm replacing love for some other word to describe the sacred
tie that bound me to you.
I'm not saying love's a plaything. No, it's a powerful word, inspired by strong
desire to bind myself to you."

2.
"When you out on the street, you practice lies and deceit. And you scandalize my
name
but when I catch you up I'm gonna pull you up, I'm gonna check-out inside your
brain."

3.
"All the dreams that we were building, we never fulfilled them."

4.
"I woke up again this morning with the sun in my eyes, when Mike came over with
a script surprise
A mafioso story with a twist, a "Tong Wong Foo, Julie Newmar" hit."

5.
"Blade flew into town in time to watch the sun go down
He said the new prince must be found, the message shattered our windows.



Have fun!
