Officially the answer is A RIDDLE  ;)

Try these - but don't have the answers to them all (so don't expect a reply)  :y

1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

3. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?

4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

5. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out.  




1) Lions - they are dead
2) Printing & Developing?
3) Stil thinking
4) Christmas eve, Christmas day, Boxing day
5) No "e"s

Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess Im in
Doctor doctor, please,
Oh the mess Im in
She walked up to me
And really stole my heart
And then she started
To take my body apart

*livin, lovin, Im on the run
Far away from you
Livin, lovin, Im on the run
So far away from you

Doctor doctor, please
Oh, Im goin fast
Doctor doctor, please,
Oh, Im goin fast
Its only just a moment,
Shes turnin paranoid
Thats not a situation for a nervous boy

Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess Im in
Doctor doctor, please,
Oh, the mess Im in
But you look so angry
As I crawled across your floor
Shes got the strain,
And I cant take any more

I thought i recalled the chorus being

*livin, lovin, out on the road,
Far far away from you,
Livin, lovin, Im on the run
So far away from you

But it's entirely possible we sang the wrong words for 20 years.....    :D

great iconic NWOBHM track, dead easy riff , and a lot of fun to play.  The Michael Schenker solo's are quite good fun as well...
