And the answer is...
I was gutted about 'LA proved too much for the man' and it took me until after ten o' clock to get over the fact that I didn't recognise that Party Fears Two starts with the line about having a shower and calling your brother up.
Our theme of 'first lines' was the best fun I've had in ages. I laughed all the way through the show and I know from your messages that many of you were as frustrated as we were at the inability to match the lyric to the song title.
Here are the answers to the ones I posted yesterday, and for everyone who asked - yes we will be returning to this theme in the next few months:
It's a God-awful small affair to the girl with the mousy hair

She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
Pulp - Common People
There she stood in the street, smiling from her head to her feet
Free - Alright Now
Pretty women out walkin' with gorillas down my street
Joe Jackson - Is She Really Going Out With Him
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Guns n Roses - Sweet Child Of Mine
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window

My heart was broken

I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
Blondie - Hanging On The Telephone
Out on the wiley, windy moors

It's a little bit funny

Well I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
Kris Kristofferson - Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down
Take a look at my girlfriend
Supertramp - Breakfast In America
Call out the instigators
Thunderclap Newman - Something In the Air
You talk like Marlene Dietrich
Peter Sarstead - Where Do You Go To My Lovely
You stir my natural emotions
Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen In Love With Someone
I love you from the bottom of my pencil case
Beautiful South - Song For Whoever
There's a man I meet, walks up our street

It was the third of September

I shudder to think. I do, however, salute the continuing perpendicularity of that mic stand.
