Lyrics Contest

Round 1 - Questions by Zhu
Identify song title and artist, no cheating, no googling. Your brain and memory is your only tool! (plus fingers for typing)

Clues are given beside question number.

(1) The song title reminds me of bubble gum.
Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those

(2) Already disbanded.
Using symbols using words
Can be likened to a deep sea diver

(3) Clue's embedded below.
Don't slide

(4) The first BIG digital animation film.
I only need a little time
Perhaps a little hair

(5) Well, can't give clue for this coz it's too obvious.
He was a boy, she was a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?

(6) Closer
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry

(7) Let's get to the chorus.
Hello, you fool
I love you

(8) I posted the lyrics before in my blog (sorry, not a good clue, still a clue)
The people go forever descending
It's when we're all inside
That summer's on the way

(9) A flower
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

(10) Coz we aren't old yet.
And it really doesn’t matter that we don’t eat
And it really doesn’t matter if we never sleep

  8. right, (9) sting - desert rose. credit all goes to zhu's relentless guiding, i'm so slow..

    still clueless on 1, 2, and 4. what IS the FIRST big digital animation film?? i keep thinking shrek, shrek is big, shrek needs hair..but it's not. and there are too many disbanded bands..and bubblegum makes me think 1) powerpuff girl (no idea WHY) 2) pink 3) lv jian, whose proper brandname eludes me. argh.

  10. SAVAGE GARDEN!!! is it??!! i've yet to find the track (i've a gut feeling i don't have it) but lol, how how just HOW can i miss it...i kept looking at bands that are either from like the 70's or recent bands that are technically on hiatus and not disbanded..SG is just like the only recent and disbanded band i have, Disbanded, sobzz ='(

  12. after much long winded hint-droppping and frustrated steering by zhu, i finally reached the finishing line..

    hair falling off from the effort...orz
