2. McKenzie, rice, jar, sermon, socks.
3. The mermaid, Neptune, coast, cartwheels, dirt in truth is clean, playing cards, room was humming hotter.
4. History book on the shelf, my only chance is giving up the fight, I feel like I win when I lose.

6. Trying to say three words, through the light, what do you hear, the words that make me scared.
7. A buzzard, a monkey, cool down.
8. Don’t let me wait, the touch of your hand in the June night, till break of day.
9. Eight-thirty train, always something new, files in your head, five minute break.

Yes we are back with those cryptic questions. Don’t let them get the better of you. Look through the clues until something rings a bell – or you make sense of the sort of thing that it’s all about. Try without the inter-web if you can – but you will have to have wide interests, a good ear, and a great memory to manage them all that way. What sort of answer will do? One needs just one word – the others a short phrase or even a name. NB I’ve cheated slightly with clue 1 – not doing would make it too easy – and its list could be much longer! 🙂

 

 

Enjoy!
