Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Here's one to get you started, from the title track! 'Couldn't fool us, for we were spinnin' out our lines...'

One of the best tracks in my opinion. Great words and a great melody.

Answer: Listen to me good

From 'Someone Saved My Life Tonight'. This is my favourite line!

3. 'It's enough to make you laugh, ...'

From 'Curtains'.

5. 'But where were all your shoulders when we cried? Were the doctors in attendance saying...'
