Thanks Rob for the encouragement to post this. Just a little fun for Christmas which I thought would make a good 'welcome' gift to the Forum and all my friends here.
It is Foxx related of course, but this seems the best place to put it for now
Below are 25 snippets of lyric from John's catalogue.
Can you identify which songs they each come from?
*****
1. I see you moving frame by frame
2. Oh turn me round slowly
I’ve been walking through too many rooms
3. I’ll be the passing man
4. Seasons pass but somethings never change
5. I see you in strangers
In light on the sea
6. She’s amnesia
She’s walking out in shattered times
7. I was in a swimmer in a foggy bar
I was trying to find some sea
8. Roses bloom in the mirror dust
As the tidal drift comes lifting us
9. Hypertext insect
Meshtrack shemale
10. When someone touches me I turn alight
11. Shafts of sunlight are slowly glancing
Down on me
12. Hopes are our empires now
13. Once I was walking alone with a friend
14. Invisible families locked out at midnight
15. I clap my hand on the lazy mosquitoes
To the smell of burning car tyres
16. Red red sails of sunset
Skies are burning blue
17. A million shadows on the factory walls
18. Mobile and fluid
A magnet for glances
19. Figures in the thunderlight are
Fossilised like ammonite
20. Sleep with me gently
21. Pictures into structures
And structure into motion
22. Make a quick mutation
Of myself at Euston station
23. Dressed as a private man I go
Fragile as any stance I know
24. I burned all the maps that lead here
So no-one can ever follow me
25 . We're fixing distances on maps and echo paths in crowds

No prizes, it's just for fun.
