Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Finish this quote: "I don't wanna come back down _____ _____ _____".

Answer: from this cloud

From the lovely 'Comedown' off of 'Sixteen Stone'. The first Bush song I ever heard, in fact!

2. Sticking with 'Sixteen Stone', which song contains the great lyric "The cupboard is empty we really need food. Summer is winter and you always knew"?

Answer: Little Things

Another classic track, testament to the cryptic lyrics on their first album!

3. On to 'Razorblade Suitcase': "There's all the ____ in the way she talks."

Answer: pain

In a departure from the chorus-driven tracks of 'Sixteen Stone', Bush uses a more gradual build-up to this great ending to 'Insect Kin'.

4. Again from 'Razorblade Suitcase', whish word is missing? "Always closest to the flame, ever closer to the _____".

Answer: blade

From 'Greedy Fly', which had the most amazing, if slightly disturbing video. Definitely worth a look.

5. Moving forward to 'The Science of Things'. Which song contains the lyric "There is no lonelier place than lying in this bed"?

Answer: The Chemicals Between Us

The lyrics become increasingly less cryptic and more honest on this, the most ballad-driven of their albums.

Answer: Grates, 40

From the beautiful, '40 Miles from the Sun', my favourite of all their ballads, followed closely by 'Letting the Cables Sleep' :-)

7. "______ is not the way, we need to talk about it". Which word is missing from this excellent piece of advice from Gavin on 'Letting the Cables Sleep'?

Answer: Silence

A great album for sound advice, clearly at a fairly philosophical time in the band's career!

8. Right up to date then, from 'Golden State', which words are missing from this line? "So pretty in _____. Pretty when you're _______."

Answer: white, faithful

From the serene 'Inflatable'. Not quite the best ballad they've done, but a bit of a stunner none the less.

9. "With a little more time, and a six-leaf clover". Which hero is Gavin looking for that is also the title of the song?

Answer: Superman

Of course! "Oh Superman. Where have you gone?"

10. Bit of a random, crazy one to finish up. In 'Swim' from 'Sixteen Stone', how many hair dryers?

Answer: 14

"Thinning ice, 14 hair dryers, I'm swimming to you, flame on Earth desire". Those crazy 'Sixteen Stone' lyrics, eh? Hope you had fun. See you soon!
