Because I'm lost on the music lyrics (most of the time) I thought I'd set up a rival 'quiz' for the crossword buffs out there. Below are 5 cryptic clues, the first person to get all 5 is invited to post their own.
The last person to post to the thread before it runs out of interest (i.e. very soon) wins their own weight in self-esteem.
1. Everybody on the ship is confused (3,2,3) 2. Oh, godfather, I messed up. Will this make me feel better in the morning? (4,2,3,3) 3. Striker in game of football? (5) 4. We hear Edward is diminished and lacking direction (8) 5. Misers try charm; the wrong way to provide a seasonal greeting (5,9)
Best of luck, please feel free to Google if you think it will help.

Are anagrams your forte, Barnacle?

Sorry, next time I'll have pudding!

Nope, but something that could have delayed me getting back in front of the computer by the seconds barnacle needed.
Going with your thought, though
Lawyer's pudding (4,8)

Nice one, Stan. It's all those years practising on The Sun cryptic in your squad car, with the radio turned off, isn't it?

And the first time I typed that I missed the 'o' out ... which would have made it a very different programme indeed.
