I tried this on another board I post on, and it went down quite well. See if you can answer the questions from song lyrics:
1. Easyworld: What is it 'just not fun' to do?
2. Green Day: What does Billy-Joe "pledge allegiance" to?
3. Charlotte Hatherley: For what did Antonio leave Charlotte?
4. Beautiful South: What have you "a knighthood" in?
5. Blur: What does Damon "dream of" on a Sunday?
6. Radiohead: What will Thom be doing "if London burns"?
7. Ozma: When do chances last a finite time?
8. Futureheads: What do you do "on your dinner break"?
9. Idlewild: At your lack of what do I laugh?
10. Beautiful South (again): If the pound is replaced by the Euro, what properties is it likely to maintain?

1. Get your killing in the free world.
2. The underworld
6. Standing on the beach with his guitar
7. In the warm july night-time
8. Make a new friend
9. Conversational skills
There is no way to answer these without sitting there and singing in through in your head. :-).
I'm sure I know the Blur and one, if I don't get it by tomorrow, I'll google it rather than go crazy.

Actually, one of these is wrong! #1 is not from 'Second Amendment'.
Clue on the Blur one: It's a track from before they had their first no.1 hit.
P.S My top 200 is finished: go to ijtop200.blogspot.com
