Ok…I posted a Metal Lyrics Challenge over at Pete’s before my slight hiatus.

Of the people who left comments…Jay got the most right…but as I mentioned in the post…some of you might have been playing in your head…so I present to you…the answers:

1. Dressed to kill and looking dynomite
with her high laced stockings and her sweater so tight.
I asked her name…
she said her name was “Maybe.”
Answer: “Coming Of Age” By The Damn Yankees, from the album Damn Yankees

2.From the bottom, it looks like a steep incline
From the top, another downhill slope of mine
but I know the equilibrium’s there
indecision clouds my vision
Answer: “Falling To Pieces” By Faith No More, from the album Epic

3.You know I call you
I call you on the telephone
I’m only hoping that you’re home
So I can hear you
When you say those words to me
and whisper so softly
Answer: “Talk Dirty To Me” By Poison, from the album Look What The Cat Dragged In

4.I live my life like there’s no tomorrow
and all I’ve got, I had to steal.
Least I don’t need to beg or borrow.
Yes I’m living at a pace that kills.
Answer: “Runnin’ With The Devil” By Van Halen, from the album Van Halen

5.Check out Mr.Politician in his suit and tie
but when the doors are closed there aint nothing he won’t try.
Meanwhile Mr. Medicine’s treating his best friend’s wife.
Tpper led the war against the record industry…
she said she saw the devil on her MTV
Answer: “Shelter Me” By Cinderella, from the album Heartbreak Station

6.Wake up late
Honey put on your clothes
and Take your credit card
to the liquor store.
Answer: “Night Train” By Guns N Roses, from the album Appetite For Destruction

7. Apathy, their stepping stone.
So unfeeling
hidden deep animosity
so deceiving
Through your eyes their light burn
hoping to find
Inquisition sinking you
with prying minds
Answer: “And Justice For All” By Metallica, from the album …and Justice For All

8. Stormy night under dead black skies, he pulls into town.
Thunder rolls and the lighning bolts come crashing to the ground.
Cold as ice, hard as stone, he walks into the room.
Answer: “Modern Day Cowboy” By Tesla, from the album Mechanical Resonance

9.You can run but you can’t hide
It’s just another day in the rat race
It seems like your falling behind.
So Tell me whatchya gonna do.
So you’re feeling down and out
And it seems like you’ve got no future…
Answer: “Reach For The Sky” By Slaughter, from the album The Wild Life

10. (Whatever you do)
I’ll be two steps behind you.
(wherever you go)
I’ll be there to remind you
That it only takes a minute of your precious time
To turn around…
Answer: “Two Steps Behind” By Def Leppard, from the album Retro Active

Extra Credit:

Cold late night so long ago
When I was not so strong you know
A pretty man came to me
Never seen eyes so blue
You know I could not run away
It seemed we’d seen each other in a dream
It seemed like he knew me
He looked right through me, yeah
Answer: “Magic Man” By Heart, from the album Dreamboat Annie
