    The following are all lines from (hopefully) well-known songs. I think
    it just goes to prove what dubious musical taste my colleague has!
    Can you work out the songs and artists. Answers later in the week.
    
    
    1.	...I call you I need you my hearts on fire...
    2.	...I don't know where but she sends me there...
    3.	...Un homme dans un gare desol�...
    4.	...Don't wanna linger on the past...
    5.	...Rhododendron is a nice flower...
    6.	...Turned over a new leaf...
    7.	...Land sea and sky...
    8.	...Say you can handle my love are you for real...
    9.	...If I could make a wish...
    10.	...Won't get you anywhere foolin' with a gun...
    11.	...Romeo and Juliet are together in eternity...
    12.	...If I ever get out of here...
    13.	...Stand up stand up...
    14.	...It's the kidney machines that pay for rockets and guns...
    15.	...Kissin' Valentino by a crystal blue Italian stream...
    16.	...What I need right now is some good advice...
    17.	...My skin is raw and my soul is ripe...
    18.	...They do it down on Camber Sands...
    19.	...Another girl in the neighbourhood...
    20.	...A better place to play...
    21.	...Just what the truth is...
    22.	...Your poison letter your telegram...
    23.	...We're caught in a trap I can't hold back...
    24.	...I got some money in my pocket about ready to burn...
