Opera lyrics. Guess the opera. Simple really.

1. "With tushes far exceeding those that Venus' huntsman slew"

2. "Malo, malo, in an apple tree"

3. "Wait! Don't touch her yet"

4. "His exercise is not with men but killing boys"

5. "Let us devise torments! He killed his mother"

6. "The world is poor and man's a shit"

7. "There are black birds in the world so why not black men too?"

8. "Show us the way to the next whisky bar"

9. " Tender, lovely leaves of my beloved plane"

10. "Hear me! Hear a tender husband's bitter lament"
