Lets play NZ music LYRICS tag

OK the rules are use one line from any nz song lyrics.

the tag is made by at least one shared full word. no "the", "a" "to" type cop-outs either.

it has to be the full word - not syllables, part words, or any part of the band name. you do need to put the song and band name below the tag, to remind us all of where the lyric is from.

lets make the mofo of songs....

flying over pacific seas, in a burning metal machine

('make' by bailter space)

just wondering... are you allowed syllable type stuff... eg thinking of line that includes fly or burn or does it have to be a full word? Not that I can think of any right now...

nup

no syllables - i've changed the rules above

it's harder than before but more fun , i think, ...makes you think....damm it's hard!

:D

the other gem of this one is people will maybe 'hold' the tag for ages as no one else will be able to think of something. this will be apparent by the dates/times between posts. so far I have the record....!
