A cryptic clue to a line or phrase from a Stones song:


Whilst looking for phytoplankton, a transformation occurred beneath me for the final time.


Which lyric am I?

You ain't giving me no quarter.
I'd rather drink sea water,

I'm the burning bush
I'm the burning fire
I'm the bleeding volcano

Under The Boardwalk

Trampled Underfoot?

... send me dead flowers every morning ...

Interesting contributions so far. Answer to be revealed in due course.

"Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo"

(from "Heartbreaker")

this is actually supposed to sound like a whale, hunting for plankton

Olly that hint is cryptic indeed. Phytoplankton? wtf?

Perhaps another clue would be helpful.

Algae, Algae, ain't it time we said goodbye

Is it a stones lyric or should we cast our nets further?

Ahh, ok, just noticed "Stones song"..........

What can I say, Naturalust?

It's time to get your thinking cap on
And do your homework on phytoplankton.


In my defence, I'm doing a lot of tedious travelling of late and need a frivolous distraction.

A weekly feature, perhaps.

Olly.

Olly, will you tell us what decade it's from?

Olly stop it lol
I just wasted 5 minuted of my life on this

Olly you do realize that Yellow Submarine is a Beatles tune, not a Stones? Octopus's Garden too?

No, that would definitely spoil the fun.

Difficult. I gave up...

Let it rock!

Well I've got a feeling even Mick would have a hard time with this one.

All I can think of with the searching for phytoplankton is whales and knowing Olly's love of latter days Stones I'm guessing it's not an older tune.

That's about as far as I'm willing to go on this one without more clues. Good luck guys.....

Hmp. In that case, I feel obligated to point out that your subordinate clause appears to be dangling.

Olly it doesn't count as a Stones song if it was recorded after Wyman left... are we on the same page?

Wrong sort of whale for plankton, but: [www.theatlantic.com]

Is it Doom And Gloom?
About oil...

Let it rock!

Of course not.

This lyric could be either pre or post 1993.

It may well be, I am no grammarian.

The answer will be announced next week, prior to the second installment of 'Which Lyric Am I'.

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue?

In the middle of the ocean

In the middle of the sea

I saw a huge monster

Coming after me
