You guys...
Since you've been distracted I'll provide the answers to the original QOTD, which was naming the songs from which these boring lines are taken:
- "They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom"
- "London's burning with boredom now"
- "We would zig-zag our way through the boredom and pain"
- "And only passing time could kill the boredom we acquired"
Answers are:
- First We Take Manhattan by Leonard Cohen [answered by zagatoes30]
- London's Burning by The Clash [zagatoes30 again]
- Pigs on the Wing part 1 by Pink Floyd [Wanderer got closest]
- We All Fall in Love Sometimes by Elton John [JonW knew this]
Since 4 is the trickiest to identify I think, winner is awarded to
JonW... over to you. A multi-part question would be great; we love 'em.
