7 Punctured bicycle on a hillside desolate 8 Son, I'm thirty 9 I was walkin' down the street 10 This bed is on fire with passionate love Manchester special r kid |

8 is Kinky Afro - Happy Mondays
My answer for 9 is probably not what you are after PoP as i can't see a Manchester connection, but the Sensational Alex Harvey Band did a fantastic version of Framed which was a highlight of their live act which is why i know it well - the song was a hit in the 50s for Ritchie Valens (who died along with Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper in 1959) - same first line as you quote. |

If it was 'high street' then you have David Bowie, the Laughing Gnome

6 is rattling inside and I might yet get that one, but the others are not registering at all

I don't think Bowie was a Manc Aspro

By:
Sorry PoP, I'm stuck on them all, even the ones that DD has suggested, which I've little doubt are right. #6 was making me think, but it turned out to be a different song altogether, with different words
 *crushed* |

Clues:
6 Prime movers of Madchester. Will rise again soon enough 7 Famously morose whingebag. Unlike the song title 8 Kinky Afro. Correct dixie. 9 70s supergroup. Set in far sunnier climes than rainy Manchester. 10 A song about getting some. In a giant peach. |

By:
ffs, of course it is...
9 - 10cc Dreadlock Holiday (how did I miss that one!!!) |
|
By:
correct

By:
From your clue PoP No 7 has to be The Smiths and presumably This charming man

7 Punctured bicycle on a hillside desolate - The Smiths / This Charming Man 8 Son, I'm thirty - Happy Mondays / Kinky Afro 9 I was walkin' down the street - 10C / Dreadlock Holiday 10 This bed is on fire with passionate love - A song about getting some. In a giant peach. |
|
By:
Interesting that Dreadlock Holiday has the same opening line as Framed - neither Ritchie Valens or SAHB from Manchester of course.
No 10 - the giant peach must be James. And from your clue the song must be Laid ? |

Hot town summer in the city, back of my neck getting warm and gritty has been said. Could take and leave other parts of the song but that opening part is brilliant. |

Well she was an Ameeeerican Girrrl, raised on promises.

|
By:
correct dixie. Suspect device is the one.
|
|
By:
Cheers PoP, i remembered Alternative Ulster but not that one.
Shrewd - you are supposed to put up five first lines mate for the rest of us to muse over. Having the title in the opening line is not recommended btw |
|
By:
I wanted to put an Undertones song in, but their big two songs start with "A teenage dream's so hard to beat" and "Now I've got a cousin called Kevin" so that was that.

By:
I'll try harder from now on Dixie.
What if I don't have the first 5 lines in my head though? |

By:
Five different songs shrewd, first line of each not five lines of one song
 26 Ferry Cross The Mersey - Gerry and the Pacemakers |

I've just looked at PoP's 5. Wouldn't have got 14 and only the title of 15, but the rest were there. Shame I work afternoons
