IT’S A LONG WAY TO TIPPERARY (TRUE OR FALSE?)


The sun will come out tomorrow

Set fire to the rain
I’ll see you in my dreams

Almost always never

I’m lucky

Here’s that rainy day
When you say nothing at all

It ain’t necessarily so

Money for nothing

A foggy day

Expecting to fly
Finding diamonds in the dirt
It’s a long way to Tipperary

Tonight I shall sleep

The sun goes down
There’s more than one way home

Walking on the moon

It’s a man’s world
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Everybody loves the sunshine

The winner takes it all

Morning has broken
Show me the way to go home

You’ll never walk alone
Chance would be a fine thing

The luck of the draw

No chance

Fifty-fifty

Odds on

A dead cert

In your dreams

Iffy

A definite maybe

Whatever

A very likely story!

Computer says no
Raindrops keep falling on my head
As much hope as winning the lottery
You can’t always get what you want
A snowball’s chance in hell

When hell freezes over

Once in a blue moon

Non, je ne regrette rien

C’est si bon

Tu me rends fou

Ein Schiff wird kommen

Alle Vögel sind schon da
Robert de Niro’s waiting

Homeless

It ain’t happening

Good odds

A fair chance

Undecided

A Black Swan
