I hope these are a little more obvious, though it wouldn't be a cryptic quiz if they were...I'm not sure that restricting to one answer per person per day works in this case, so for now just answer as many as you can... :-rofl2 :-rofl2

1 I've told you before, just because you throw your cap on the bed, doesn't mean you can move in!!... Wherever I lay my hat...

2 Unreliable form of exterior lighting in a gale...Candle In The Wind

3 No need to get emotional if you're scared...Tears For Fears

4 He sings on while his band sleeps sweetly...Freddie and The Dreamers

5 Sparrows at the back of a terraced house..Yardbirds

6 Weighty plaudits for this guy...Eric Clapton

7 Counselling needed for the umpteenth time...19th Nervous Breakdown

8 Having a stroll in a dodgy area...Walk On The Wild Side

9 Let's see the girls at Dawn's place.....House Of The Rising Sun

10 Sounds like something you'd get from Ann Summers...Good Vibrations

11 Now a popular genre of horror movie...The Zombies

12 Could you lighten up the paint in the bucket?... Whiter Shade Of Pale

13 You'll need shades after midday...Sunny Afternoon

14 Waiting here, three usually turn up... Bus Stop

15 Can't stand up to get something sparkly...Neil Diamond

16 Mispelled simians... The Monkees

17 Steps leading upwards after death... Stairway To Heaven

18 Albino furry animal that likes carrots..White Rabbit

19 Don't run in these, they weren't made for that... These Boots Were Made For Walking

20 I'd really, really like to have it all...You Can't Always Get What You Want
