These are the first lines from some relatively popular songs. Can you identify the songs (without looking them up) ?
- Tin soldiers and Nixon coming
- I walked along the avenue, I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
- Loving you isn't the right thing to do
- Tommy used to work on the docks
- Don't think me unkind
- I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long
- God money, I'll do anything for you
- Old pirates, yes, they rob i
- It's allright if you love me, it's allright if you don't
- I met her in a club down in old Soho
One hint: they are all sung by men.
