The others seem to have been answered, but hopefully the answer to this one is still open.

I think it's butterflies.

Big in terms of a butterfly, Paul's right.

Hamlet53, you got two, so you're up next.

So in order to get something out there I will not be very original. I really enjoyed Orlok's song lyric quiz from a while ago. So here is my version. One point for each correct song title and one point for the original recording artist(s). These songs cover decades and a wide range of genres. There is an age bias, I am almost 60.

A. "Walkin' down my street
Comes up to my house"

B. "But I'll teach my eyes to see
beyond these walls in front of me"

C. "I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by"

D. "Her arms are wicked, and her legs are long"

E. "When I've walked in the garden
When I'm walking off stage"

F. "Baby, I don't want you, but I need you"

G. "Beatniks are out to make it rich"

H. "I am an old woman
Named after my mother"

I. "Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye,
But hold on to your lover,
'Cause your heart's bound to die."

J. "Well, I heard Mr. Young sing about her"

K. "Your never ending presence really cramps my style
I dream that it won't always be the same"

L. "Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV"

Let the quiz begin.
