Name That Song

[papayahed]

How Do You Get That Lonely - Larsen Blaine



God bless Mother Nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy

[Idril]

It's Raining Men ~ The Weather Girls :lol:


She's my baby, Ain't that something
But I know she belongs to you
Yesterday was another day, when I,
Saw your baby, walkin' home alone

[Pendragon]

Mazzy Star ~ She's My Baby (Goggled)



Every day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines
And each town looks the same to me
The movies and the factories
And every stranger's face I see
Reminds me that I long to be

[Idril]

Homeward Bound ~ Simon and Garfunkel...that is a great song, Pen. :thumbs_up


So this aint the end -
I saw you again today
I had to turn my heart away
Smiled like the sun -
Kisses for real
And tales - it never fails!

[Pendragon]

Barracuda ~ Heart



Somebody said he came from New Orleans
Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen
And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand
Sent a Louisiana fellow to the Promised Land Big John

[papayahed]

Big Band John - Jimmy Dean


Music knows it is and always will
Be one of the things that life just won't quit
But here are some of music's pioneers
That time will not allow us to forget
For there's Basie, Miller, Sachimo

[Idril]

Oh, I loved that song when I was a kid, Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder I think it was.


I got it bad
you don't know how bad I got it.
You got it easy
you don't know when you've got it good.
It's getting harder
just keeping life and soul together
I'm sick of fighting even though I know I should.

[Pendragon]

Wouldn't It Be Good ~ Nik Kershaw

(Hey, Grover, that's Big Bad John!) http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/ROFL.gif


Here they come down main street, drums a flailin' and the sirens a wailin', what a roar
Bands are a playin' and flags are a waivin, and the Vanguard's and Motorcycle Corps
Clowns are a clownin' to the crowd and pinchin' every pretty girl who dares to smile
It's a glorious mess, everybody wears a fez the parade stretches out for a mile

[Shalot]

Shriner's Convention - Ray Stevens


hold my head
we'll trampoline
finally through the roof
on to somewhere near
and far in time

[Shalot]

well that would be Velouria by the Pixies

Allison - The Pixies


A well I bless my soul
What's wrong with me?
I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm actin' wild as a bug
I'm in love

[B-Mental]

All Shook Up - Elvis Presly


My brother, sat me right down and he spoke to me
He told me, I oughta not let you just walk on me
He meant well, but when our talk was through.
I said, "Brother, if you only knew
You'd wish you was in my shoes...":D

[Pendragon]

Um, google says Use Me written by Bill Withers from Still Bill



Down our long and dusty driveway
This time we both would go
He had grown old and gray
And his mind was a-wandering
Daddy took me by the hand
Said, "I know where were going and I understand
Don't worry boy it will be all right"

[Idril]

Forty-Eight Hours Till Monday by Sawyer Brown


Young, dumb, don't see a problem
Bloodshot, stare like a hoodlum
Simple as this; I'm in love with the risk
I know what I've done,
But tell me what did I miss?
So please don't save something
Waste not, save nothing
Lose the halo, don't need to resist
A lick of the lips and a grip on your hips

[papayahed]

Sick, Sick, Sick - Queens of The Stone Age



You be you and let me be me
No strings attached emotionally
I wanna get a little crazy
That's puttin' it plain
You got the medicine
And I got the pain

[papayahed]

(Hey, Grover, that's Big Bad John!) http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/ROFL.gif

haha, yeah that puts a different spin on the title.

[Scheherazade]

Open Invitation - Santana

Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I have always thought that it's a crime,
So I will ask you once again

[motherhubbard]

Suspicious Minds ... Elvis

New Puzzler:


...Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind.
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died...

[Idril]

Oh, that's Pink Floyd, Us and Them. Great song, brilliant album!


Bury Me Softly In This Womb
I Give This Part Of Me For You
Sand Rains Down And Here I Sit
Holding Rare Flowers
In A Tomb.....In Bloom

[motherhubbard]

The song is 'We Can Work It Out', actually. Bad, bad, bad Google!Jelly Man Kelly - James Taylor

[/I]

Actually, I have never googled anything. I hear it said a lot, but don’t know how. I just sang the song and quit singing before I got to the we can work it out part. Sorry:blush:

[Pendragon]

For Idril: Dowm in a Hole ~ Alice In Chains

You got the group right.. It is Sawyer Brown... but the song is The Walk



We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home

[motherhubbard]

Mrs. Robinson - Simon and Garfunkel


Flowers grow to the sun, shines for everyone
If you loose the warmth I will give you some.
Lay back on a starry night,
Feel as big and as small as you are
I see who you are and I like what I see
If you want to be you can be with me

[Pendragon]

Be With Me ~ Carley Simon



Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you its only seed.

[motherhubbard]

the rose- Bet Midler?

[Pendragon]

Oh, Yeah!



I don't want to see you go I don't even want to be there
I will cover up my eyes and pray it goes away
You've only lived a minute of your life I must be dreaming please stop screaming
I don't like to hear you cry you just don't know how deep that cuts me
So I will cover up my eyes and it will go away

[Idril]

Oh, that's Steven by Alice Cooper. I never pegged you for an Alice Cooper fan, Pen. ;)


Ms. Cristina drives a nine four four
Satisfaction oozes from her pores
She keeps rings on her fingers
Marble on her floor
Cocaine on her dresser
Bars on her doors
She keeps her back against the wall

[Pendragon]

Welcome to the Boomtown ~ David & David (Googled) http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Embarassed.gif



Just slip out the back, jack
Make a new plan, stan
You dont need to be coy, roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, gus
You dont need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, lee
And get yourself free


Idril, I was raised in the 70's and a bit of a rebel! Liked a lot of things at one time...http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Hippy.gif

[Scheherazade]

50 Ways To Leave Your Lover - Paul Simon (One of my favorites! :))

Sometimes I feel a little mad
But, don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad

[Idril]

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by the Animals, at least that's the version I'm familar with.


I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
in our eyes are mirror images and when
we kiss they're perfectly aligned
and I have to speculate that God himself
did make us into corresponding shapes like
puzzle pieces from the clay

[papayahed]

Such Great Heights - The Postal Service


He left the shack
But that was all he missed
And he ain't comin back

A tombstone bar
And a juke joint car
He made a stop
Just long enough to grab a handle off the top

[Scheherazade]

Lido Shuffle - Boz Scaggs (Googled needless to say)

Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We could've made it cruising, yeah

[Idril]

Papayahed, I have no idea who the Postal Service is. I googled the lyrics to just to see what would come up and that's all that comes up but I know of it as an Iron & Wine song...I had no clue it was a cover...you learn something new every day. :p You know, it's funny though because I've always though it was a weird song for Iron & Wine, their songs are usually kind of dark and depressing and this was such a sweet little love song...now I know why. :rolleyes:

Scher, your song is Heart of Glass by Blondie


Now no one's knocked upon my door
For a thousand years or more
All made up and nowhere to go
Welcome to this one man show

[papayahed]

I had to google it also.:blush:

So Lonely - the Police


Love Doesn't Come In A Minute,
Sometimes It Doesn't Come At All
I Only Know That When I'm In It
It Isn't Silly, No, It Isn't Silly, Love Isn't Silly At All.

[Idril]

Wow, does that song bring back memories...Silly Love Songs by Paul McCartney & Wings


I close my eyes
Only for a moment, then the momen't gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity

[kiz_paws]

Dust In The Wind ... Kansas [love that song!]


I called him up just the other day.
I said I'd like to see you, if you dont mind.
He said I'd love to Dad, if I can find the time.
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu,
But its sure nice talking to you Dad,

[papayahed]

Cat's in the Cradle - Harry Chapin


I try to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
Why you're making me work so hard

[Pendragon]

A Little Reapect ~ Erasure



I remember all my life
raining down as cold as ice.
Shadows of a man,
a face through a window cryin' in the night,
the night goes into
Morning just another day;
happy people pass my way.
Looking in their eyes,
I see a memory I never realized how happy you made me.

[Idril]

I think that's Mandy by Barry Manilow.


I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love, yeah
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love

[Pendragon]

And you are right!

That's I Wanna Break Free by Queen



My old friend lives up in the mountains
He flew up there to paint the world
He says, "even though interpretation's what i count on
This little picture to me seems blurred
Hard lines and the shadows come easy
I see it all just as clear as a bell
I just can't seem to set my easel to please me
I paint my heaven but it looks like hell"

[Scheherazade]

That's Just About Right - Blackhawk

New song:

Girl, we lost it
We gotta get back in the game
Face tomorrow
Stop getting' broken by the little things

[papayahed]

Little Things - daniel amos ? I think



I'm in it to win it like Yzerman
Can drink about fifteen Heinekins
I'm not born again but if I was
I'd ask to come back with a little more love
Puffin the Winston, drinkin' a four-oh

[Pendragon]

Am I Right? ~ Kid Rock



So I bought him breakfast at the Daylight Cafe
Biscuits and gravy, hot coffee, and eggs
He was hungry and ragged, hadn't eaten in days
But I was the one there who felt out of place
When he folded his hands, bowed his head, and said grace

[Shalot]

The Gospel According to Luke - by Skip Ewing (I googled and I am not ashamed to say so :D )


Ooh, now let's get down tonight
Baby I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger

[papayahed]

Sexual healing - Marvin Gaye


I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier

[Idril]

Greatest Love of All ~ Whitney Houston...and unfortunately, I didn't have to google that one. :blush:


They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry

[Shalot]

Seven - Prince (I think at the time he was a symbol formerly known as Prince --- or did that come after?)


And they made their house from a tool shed

Granddaddy rolled down on two logs

And they built walls all around it and they made

That house a home

And they taught us about good living

They taught us right from wrong

Lord they'll never be another place in this world

That I'll call home

[Pendragon]

Home ~ Alan Jackson



Now for ten years we've been on our own
and moss grows fat on a rollin stone
but that's not how it used to be,
when the jester sang for the king and queen
in a coat he borrowed from James Dean
and a voice that came from you and me,

[papayahed]

American Pie - Don Mclean



Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
Youve seen it all, youve seen it all

Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of em dream, most of em dream

[Shalot]

A Pirate Looks at Forty - Jimmy Buffett



Saw a man in the movies that didn't have a heart
How I wish I could give him mine
Then I wouldn't have to feel it breaking all apart
And this emptiness inside would suit me fine

[Pendragon]

The Tin Man ~ Kenny Chesney (Good Song!)



Well, Papa, don't you worry about it none now
Everything's gonna be all right, Papa
They're teaching us a lesson a day we're learning pretty well too
We've already learned a whole lot of stuff already
Things like

[papayahed]

Ain't No Good Chain Gang - Johnny Cash


1989 the number another summer (get down)
Sound of the funky drummer
Music hittin' your heart cause I know you got sould
(Brothers and sisters, hey)
Listen if you're missin' y'all
Swingin' while I'm singin'
Givin' whatcha gettin'
Knowin' what I know

[Idril]

Fight The Power by Public Enemy.


Give me the song and I'll sing it like I mean it
Give me the words and I'll say them like i mean it
Cos you got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
And god knows
You got me sewn

[Pendragon]

Sewn ~ The Feeling GOOGLED!



You're a princess chains around you
I'm a hero who just found you
'Til a brand new day must wake you
Let imagination take you

[Shalot]

Dream On - The Oak Ridge Boys



Her mean mother steps then says to me "Hi!!"
Decked Sally in the face and punched her in the eye
Punched her in the belly and stepped on her feet
Slammed the child on the hard concrete

[BlueSkyGB]

Snoop......Lodi Dodi

The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles

[papayahed]

Subterranean Homesick Blues - Bob Dylan


Teddy sniffing glue he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East Two-nine
Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug
On 26 reds and a bottle of wine
Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old
He looked like 65 when he died

[Idril]

Jim Caroll ~ People Who Died. You know, Papayahed, you have unwittingly solved a huge mystery for me. I didn't know the lyrics, they were hauntingly familar but I had to google them and when I did, I discovered that was the song that has been driving me nuts for years. My high school friends used to listen to that song every now and then but I never knew who it was, the only thing I could remember was the line, "They were all my friends, and they died". When I asked one of my friends a few years later who sang that song, she had no clue what song I was talking about, I began to think I just made the whole thing up...but now I know, it's called People Who Died and it's by Jim Carroll and I feel vindicated. Thank you, Papayhed. :D


I will walk in the garden
And feel religion within
I will learn how to run with the big boys
I will learn how to sink and to swim
And there's talk in the houses
And people dancing in rings
Ah, when you close my eyes, babe?
I can see most everything

[Pendragon]

JUST LIKE U SAID IT WOULD B ~ (Sinéad O'Connor/Steve Wickham) [You Know I googled that one! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Embarassed.gif



An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven then put me through hell
Chains of love, got a hold on me
When passion's a prison you can't break free

[Idril]

Bon Jovi ~ You Give Love a Bad Name. I have a great story about that song, but not one that I can share. :p


After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

[papayahed]

Horse With No Name - America



Do you don't you want me to love you
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me tell me come on tell me the answer
and you may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

[Idril]

Helter Skelter by...take your pick, I tend to think of the Beatles version first.


Ramblin' where to begin
I taste the summer on your peppery skin
Been saved the warmer the waves
I felt a slip into a watery grave

[Pendragon]

Summersong ~ The Decemberists (help from kids)



You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash
But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
The more I think about it, Old Billy was right
Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight
You don't want to work, you want to live like a king
But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing

[papayahed]

Get Over It - The Eagles



Girl, close your eyes,
let that Rhythm get into you.
Don't try to fight it,
there ain't nothing that you can do.
Relax your mind.
Lay back and groove with mine.

[RobinHood3000]

Rock With You - Michael Jackson (FINALLY!! One I know!!)


Isn't it strange
The way things can change
Life that you lead turned on its head

Suddenly someone
Means more than you felt before
House and its yard
Turns into home

Sorry, but I meant to say
Many things along the way

This one's for you...

[Shalot]

Bon Jovi ~ You Give Love a Bad Name. I have a great story about that song, but not one that I can share. :p

That doesn't sound good.

Anyway, Robin's song is Ache ~ James Carrington


I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes (ewww)


And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

(I'll give you a hint: It is a current song and they couldn't possibly play it anymore. In fact, it was on two different stations at the same time on the way to the store, and then it was on again when I got home :crash:. )

[BlueSkyGB]

Better than me....Hinder

I cheated myself,
Like I knew I would,
I told you I was trouble...

[Idril]

That doesn't sound good.

Actually, it's really funny just not family friendly. ;)

BlueSky, your song is You Know I'm No Good by Amy Winehouse.

And because I have no imagination today, I'm going to go with lyrics from the song I'm currently listening to...


We will come to your town
Burn your house down
Turn the sky brown
All because, all because, all because

[Pendragon]

Bicycle ~ Be Your Own Pet (Googled fer sure!)



Where is the moment when we need it the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue sky's faded to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carrying on

[BlueSkyGB]

Daniel Powter....Bad Day




It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on

[Shalot]

Don't Think Twice It's Alright - Bob Dylan



Well I ain't got no use
For your red apple juice
And I'm not gonna be treated this a way
This a way this a way
And I'm not gonna be treated this way

[Pendragon]

Rain & Snow ~ Pentangle (Googled and still almost didn't find it!)



Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
twenty years
I don't know
sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone
And sometimes late at night
When I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And I recall
I recall

[Haven]

@Pendragon

Twenty years now

You too, Googled and almost missed. Is it Bob Seger "Twenty Years from Now"? Your Haiku The Rock was my clue. Hope I read it right. If I got it right, just call me Sherlock. ;) . Otherwise... [name-calling is most unpleasant :)]

Always tease tease tease
You’re happy when I’m on my knees
One day is fine, next day is black
So if you want me off your back
Well come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
:angel: Okay, easy peasy...

[papayahed]

Should I stay or Should I go? - The Clash


Another easy one:


I'll learn to work the saxophone
I'll play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whisky all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide

[Brigitte]

Deacon Blues by Steely Dan



So I'll throw my thoughts into the sea
Where no one will ever find
And your marvelous episodes of pain
Will very soon be mine

I can't seem to shake this awful feeling
You wore, you wore, you wore me out
And I can't believe

[Shalot]

Rain & Snow ~ Pentangle (Googled and still almost didn't find it!)

no sorry, it's the Be Good Tanyas (but the title is right!)

[Pendragon]

no sorry, it's the Be Good Tanyas (but the title is right!) Well, Pentangle did it also!

Brigette is Just Shut Up and Dance ~ Uncertain about the group

Haven Bob Segar is right, the song is Like a Rock. They use it to sell Chevys in the USA now, dang 'em! They use Kansas' Dust in the Wind for Kia, growl! Leave good music alone!



Well you know those times
When you feel like there's a sign there on your back
Say's I don't mind if ya kick me
Seems like everybody has
Things go from bad to worse
You'd think they can't get worse than that
And then they do

[papayahed]

If You're Going Through Hell - Rodney Atkins



Hey you, what do you see?
Something beautiful, something free?
Hey you, are you trying to be mean?
If you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean

The worms will live in every host
It's hard to pick which one they eat most

[Pendragon]

The Beautiful People ~ Marylin Manson (Like wrestling, can't stand the singer!)



An only child alone and wild, a cabinet-maker's son
His hands were meant for different work and his heart was known to none
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
He gave to me a gift I know I never can repay

A quiet man of music, denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once, but his music wouldn't wait
He earned his love through discipline, a thund'ring velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand

[motherhubbard]

leader of the band by dan fogelberg, I just heard this yesterday on the radio

[motherhubbard]

And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
Then in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
He'll build a little home
That's meant for two
From which I'll never roam
Who would, would you

[B-Mental]

That would be 'The Man I Love' if I'm not mistaken.

There's a stain on my notebook
Where your coffee cup was
And there's ash in the pages
Now i've got myself lost
I was writing to tell you
That my feelings tonight
Are a stain on my notebook
That rings your goodbye

[Pendragon]

Black Coffee In Bed ~ Squeeze (Googled the Artist, knew the song)



I walk these streets
With a six string on my back
I play for keeps
Cause I might not make it back
I've been everywhere
Still I'm standing tall
I've been a million places
And I've rocked them all

[papayahed]

Wanted: Dead or Alive - Bon Jovi


He's kind of tall
He's really fine
Some day I hope to make him mine, all mine
And he's neat
And oh so sweet
And just the way he looked at me
He swept me off my feet
Ooo whee, you ought to come and see
How he walks
And how he talks

[BunnySummers]

Boy From New York City -- Manhatten Transfer


Then the dream ends when the phone rings,
you doing alright he said it's out there most
days and nights, but only a fool would
complain. Anyway Susan, if you like, our
conversation is as faint as a sound in my
memory, as those fingernails scratching on
my hull.

[Pendragon]

Nautical Disaster ~ Tragically Hip (Goggled-- Tragically not my cup of tea!)



Hey mister can you help me
I'm a loner on the run
I'm just looking for tomorrow
And I ain't gonna hurt no one

I jumped headfirst into a bottle
I was looking for a friend
Came up just short of nothing
I didn't find the truth I only found an end

[Brigitte]

Well, Pentangle did it also!

Brigette is Just Shut Up and Dance ~ Uncertain about the group

To Pen's

Bon Jovi - Justice in the barrel

Hi Pen, are you a fan?:)

You say you feel like a natural person
You haven't got nothing to hide
So why do you feel imperfection
Cut like a sword in your side

Coz you're under the weather
Just like the world
And I need somebody to hold
When I turn out the light
You're out of sight
Although I know that I'm not alone
Feels like home

KT Tunstall ~ Under The Weather (Goggled)



It's just another day in paradise
As you stumble to your bed
You'd give anything to silence
Those voices ringing in your head
You thought you could find happiness
Just over that green hill
You thought you would be satisfied
But you never will-

Learn To Be Still ~ Eagles


Hello little boys, little toys
We’re the dreams you're believing
Crawling up the walls
Running down your face
Razor sharp, razor clean
Feel the weapon's sensation
On your back...
With loaded guns

Shiny Toy Guns - Le Disko (Why do I always have to Google! Aggguuh! I'm old!)



It was a macho barber shop.
Hair dryers were mounted on a rifle rack.
Wasn’t no mirrors. The barber chair was a Peterbilt...
Barber walked in; he was huge,
seven feet tall, three hundred pounds of spring steel and rawhide.
Wearin' a hard hat, chewin' a cigar, had a t-shirt on—-said, “I hate musicians.”
Threw me in the chair, sneered and said, “What’ll it be pal?”

[papayahed]

The Haircut Song - Ray Stevens


Goodbye to all my friends at home
Goodbye to people I've trusted
I've got to go out and make my way
I might get rich you know I might get busted
But my heart keeps calling me backwards
As I get on the 707
Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes
You know you got to go through hell
Before you get to heaven

[Idril]

Jet Airliner by the Steve Miller Band.


What you say about his company

Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift

Tom Sawyer - RUSH


The first moment that I met her
I did not expect a specter
When I shook her hand I really shook a glove
She looked into me so sweetly
And we left the room discreetly
No one else could know the secret of our love

[Idril]

Little Ghost by the White Stripes


Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential...these lyrics always make my boys laugh.

[BunnySummers]

Somebody Told Me -- The Killers


So, what do you do?
Oh yeah, I wait tables too.

I'll have them cook you
Something that you'll really love.

Bohemian Like You- Dandy Warhols



strike this match and let loose the oven's breath

keep running ... keep running in place
achilles tendon severed from the race

Day after day

Add It Up - Violent Femmes


All my little plans and schemes
Lost like some forgotten dream
Seems like all I really was doing

Playing with their little toys
Seems like all they really were doing
Was waiting for you

Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone

[Mortis Anarchy]

Real Love-Beatles


"Are you such a dreamer,
To put the world to rights?
I'll stay home forever,
Where two and two always makes a five...

I'll lay down the tracks,
Sandbag and hide,
January has April showers,
And two and two always makes a five... "

Times have changed and times are strange
Here I come, but I aint the same
Mama, Im coming home
Times gone by seem to be
You could have been a better friend to me
Mama, Im coming home

You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized
Lost and found and turned aroound
By the fire in your eyes

Mama I'm Coming Home - Ozzy Osbourne




Turnaround, every now and then I get a
little bit lonely and you're never coming around
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes

Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler


I've got a new age girl
(Tell us what she's like)
An environmentalist girl
(Does she ride a bike)
She has crystal necklace
(She spend a lot of cash)
Though her vibes are rather reckless
(She's heading for a crash)
Oh her flowing skirt is blowing in a transcendental wind
And she wonders without knowing where did she begin..

papaya's is dead eye dick ~ new age girl


Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered around and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise

[BunnySummers]

Son Of A Preacher Man -- Aretha Franklin

Burying the voices of my conscience hitting ground

The chemicals are restless in my head.

Flawed Designed -- Stabilo


Tin can man, dragging from a car
Just to see how alive you really are
Marrying words, falling in your wake
Just to tell what you can't eliminate

Treading the boards, screaming out Macbeth
Just to see how much bad luck you really get
Jump in the ring with your hidden cape
The bull can't decide what it is that he really hate

[Pendragon]

The Tragically Hip - Cordelia (Googled-- I am out of the picture with music these days!)



He was sure back in the sixties
that everyone was hip
Then they sent him off to Vietnam
on his senior trip
And they force him to become a man
while he was still a boy
and in each wave of tragedy
he waited for the joy
Now this world may change around him
but he just can't change nomore

Old Hippie - Bellamy Brothers



Think about how many times

Who knows love can endure.

Summer 1963 (Oh What A Night) by the Four Seasons


Here comes a stingray
There goes a manta-ray

Chased by a cat-fish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that piranha
There goes a narwhale
HERE COMES A BIKINI WHALE

Lobster Rock ~ B 52's

Is Pendragon's May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose ~ Little Jimmy Dickens




I walked along the avenue.
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you;
Meet a girl like you.
With auburn hair and tawny eyes;
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through;
Hypnotize me through.

[BunnySummers]

I Ran -- Flock of Seagulls

Joy to the World - Three Dog Night - one of my favorite songs...was so thrilled to be able to answer without googling




There is a girl in New York City
Who calls herself the human trampoline
And sometimes when I'm falling, flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
Oh, so this is what she means

GRACELAND - Paul Simon

Pushing forward and arching back
Bring me closer to heart attack
Say goodbye and just fly away
When you comeback

[Pendragon]

Sweetest Goodbye ~ Maroon 5 (I'd never heard of them until this round of American Idol-- I wasn't impressed then or since.)



This is the time when you need a friend
You just need someone near
Im not looking forward to the night I will spend
Thinking of you when youre not here
How many times will I think about the things
Id like to do
Always denied the right to live my life the way I want
I want to share it with you

[BunnySummers]

Sweet Dreams -- Air Supply (totally had to google that baby)

Sometimes I feel the fear of
Uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much
I let the fear take the wheel and steer

It's driven me before
And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel

[aeroport]

"Drive" - Incubus
This should be an easy one:


All this machinery making modern music
Can still be open-hearted
Not so coldly charted; it's really just a question of your honesty.
One likes to believe in the freedom of music
But glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity

[Pendragon]

"The Spirit of Radio" ~ Rush (How true it is!)



There's a "For Sale" sign on a big old rusty tractor.
You can't miss it, it's the first thing that you see.
Just up the road, a pale-blue water tower,
With "I Love Jenny" painted in bright green.
Hey, that's my Uncle Bill, there by the courthouse.
He'll be lowerin' the flag when the sun goes down.

[papayahed]

My Town - Montgomery Gentry



You don't know how you met me
You don't know why, you cant turn around and say good-bye
All you know is when im with you I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea

[Shalot]

Follow Me - Uncle Kracker (argghhh)




Cause I want you -- and I feel you -- crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger, like a burnin -- to find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken, and I'm faded -- I'm half the man I thought I would be
But you can have -- what's left of me.

[Pendragon]

What's Left of Me ~ what's his name...uh..boy.. Google....Nick Lachy

This sweet concoction is smooth as molasses
Nothing to do but breathe all day
Until the big moon rises and it's time to play

[BunnySummers]

"When the Sun Goes Down" -- Uncle Kracker ~went a-Googling again


For they looked in the future and what did they see
They saw an iron road runnin from sea to the sea
Bringin the goods to a young growin land
All up through the seaports and into their hands

[Shalot]

I don't know. I had to google and I came to a site that said Happy Canada Day. Here's a song from Gordon Lightfoot. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Pen - Canadian Railroad Trilogy by Gordon lightfoot
Shalot - Uncle John's Band by Grateful dead (Love that Song)


See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the lights flashing out are so bright
Then walk right out to the fourline track
Theres a camera rolling on her back on her back
And I sense the rhythms humming in a frenzy
All the way down her spine

[Pendragon]

Pen - Canadian Railroad Trilogy by Gordon lightfoot
Shalot - Uncle John's Band by Grateful dead (Love that Song)

Yours is Girls on Film by Duran Duran. I asume you mean Bunny's when you said "Pen's" because "Bunny" guessed mine correctly.



We got back home and I went to the barn
I bowed my head and I prayed real hard
Said, “Lord, please help me help my stupid self.”

[BlueSkyGB]

Watching you by Atkins

@ Shalot...thanks for the memories..
here's another fav. just in time for the holidays...:D

Red and white, blue suede shoes, I'm Uncle Sam, how do you do?
Gimme five, I'm still alive, ain't no luck, I learned to duck.
Check my pulse, it don't change. Stay seventy-two come shine or rain.
Wave the flag, pop the bag, rock the boat, skin the goat.
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my.

US Blues - Grateful Dead


Born down in a dead man's town

Till you spend half your life just covering up

I had a buddy at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone

Since the previous has already been identified...erm, I don't have one to identify. But here's mine anyway.

Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl,
but she doesn't have a lot to say.
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl,
but she changes from day to day.

I want to tell her that I love her a lot,
but I gotta get a bellyful of wine.
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl,
someday I'm going to make her mine, oh yeah,
someday I'm going to make her mine.

[Shalot]

well, it was the same song that papaya posted but a different lyric and since it was July 4th I thought I would be patriotic and post the same song again (just as patriotic as Bruce was :D )

Anyway, yours is Her Majesty ~ The Beatles



I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my friends said I was high
But everything we've ever known's here
I never wanted it to die

Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street
Chicago, New York, Detroit it's all on the same street
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings

Truckin' - Grateful Dead

The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays

[BunnySummers]

Thunder Road -- Bruce Springstein


When it comes calling, will you heed the call?
When it gets heavy now, will you let it fall?
And as the loon cries it opens minds
The stream reflects these Northern climes
Through these days we walk the line
Sixteen dollars and a couple of dimes

[Bakiryu]

Mind Flood by Sam Roberts


All this weeping in the air
Who can tell where it will fall?
Through floating forests in the air
'Cross the rolling open sea

Blow a kiss, I run through air
Leave the past, find nowhere
Floating forests in the air
Clowns all around you

[Pendragon]

Clowns ~ Tatu (Yep! Googled.)



He rides the feed lots, clerks in the markets,
On weekends sellin' tobacco and beer.
And his dreams of tomorrow, surrounded by fences,
But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here.
He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark,
And eyeball to eyeball, old Wyatt backed down.
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas.
And rode with the 7th when Custer went down.

[papayahed]

The Last Cowboy Song - the highwaymen


My-my-my-my music hits me so hard makes me say oh my Lord
Thank you for blessing me with a mind to rhyme and to hype beat
That's good when you know you're down
A superbowl homeboy from Oaktown
And I'm known as such

U Can't Touch This ~ MC Hammer



But if you have no talent
And if you're not a male
If you're built somewhat like Dolly
Or have a face like Crystal Gayle

HOW TO BECOME A COUNTRY STAR

Knock me out every time they touch me
I want to feel that kiss just crush me
And break me down

Knock me out
Knock me out
Cause I've waited for all my life
To be here with you tonight

Kill Hannah - Lips Like Morphine (Definite Google!)

Let my deepest love inside

"It's a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago.
Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home.

Goin' home, goin' home, by the riverside I will rest my bones,
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.

Going to plant a weeping willow,
On the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow.
Sing a lullaby beside the water,
Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll.

Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell,
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul."

[smartgirl]

Brokedown palace -- Grateful Dead

"Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
Closer to where I started
Chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you"

What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction, what should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity

Driven to Tears - The Police


I thought I could live in your world
As years all went by
With all the voices I've heard
Something has died
And when you're in need of someone
My heart won't deny you
So many seem so lonely
With no one left to cry to baby

Walk along the river, sweet lullaby, it just keeps on flowing,

Don't fly, mister blue bird, I'm just walking down the road,
Early morning sunshine tell me all I need to know

[Pendragon]

Allman Brothers ~ Blue Sky



I made a wish upon a star

Got tired of wishing
So I stole one

My dreams were big but my thoughts were small
So many roads somehow I chose
The wrong one

Janis Joplin "Mercedes Benz"

While the summer is killed by the fall
Alive behind the crimson door
While the winter sings:
"Your love will be the death of me" (Death of me)
"Your love will be the death of me"

Death served wine for lovers
Brought from the world where devils reign
And intoxicated angels with sorrow
They witnessed in the eyes of their slaves

"I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know? "

heh, how about that.. and no, its not an MCR song! :lol: that would've been too obvious

Somewhere only we know~KEANE

I'm giving up the ghost of love
And a shadow is cast on devotion
She is the one that I adore
Queen of my silent suffocation
Break this bittersweet spell on me
lost in the arms of destiny
Bittersweet
I won't give up
I'm possessed by her
I'm wearing her cross
She's turned into my curse

Apocalyptica feat. Lauri Ylönen & Ville Valo- bittersweet



She's a fool and don't I know it?
But a fool can have her charms
I'm in love and don't I show it?
Like a babe in arms

Love's the same old sad sensation

Since this silly situation
Has me on the blink

Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Morning has Broken - Cat Stevens


I want to make a million dollars
I wanna live out by the sea
Have a husband and some children
Yeah, I guess I want a family
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names

Party Up ~ DMX (Googled...not my music style)

Ain’t too many things these ole boys can’t do
We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine

COUNTRY BOY CAN SURVIVE

"Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts", by Bob Dylan

Here's another oldie but goodie:D

"Sittin' down by my window,
Honey, lookin' out at the rain.
Lord, Lord, Lord, sittin' down by my window,
Baby, lookin' out at the rain.
Somethin' came along, grabbed a hold of me,
And it felt just like a ____________.
Honey, that's exactly what it felt like,
Honey, just dragging me down.'

[Idril]

Ball and Chain by Janis Joplin


The radio is blastin', someone's knockin' at the door
I'm lookin' at my girlfriend - she's passed out on the floor
I seen so many things I ain't never seen before
Don't know what it is - I don't wanna see no more

[BlueSkyGB]

Mama told me not to come....Three Dog Night....lyrics by Randy Newman


"As I was walkin round grosvenor square
Not a chill to the winter but a nip to the air,
From the other direction, she was calling my eye,
It could be an illusion, but I might as well try, might as well try.

She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes.
And I knew without askin she was into the blues"

grateful dead: Scarlet begonias

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works
That's nobody's business but the Turks

[Idril]

Love transcends all space and time
And love can make a little child smile
Can't you see this won't go wrong
But we got to be strong
We can't do it alone

Lenny Kravitz "Let Love Rule"

Eres mi angel de paz, dejame volar
A tu lado yo por siempre quiero estar
Tus alas me llenan el alma

Tu sello de amor, lo llevo en la piel
Ser solo amigos no es facil baby
Despertar es un dolor
Si no es verdad lo que yo mas quiero

[BlueSkyGB]

Is it Angel by Belinda....

"I say to you
we are both
like the air that this
floating it frees in the immensity
I hear your voice, dream with you
and you are my angel of peace
Dejame to fly
to your side I by always want to be
your wings fill the soul to me"

Beautiful lyrics:) .....when I started reading them...I knew I had to find out..

This is why I like this thread, I found some new (at least for me) music.:D

Here's another oldie but goodie

If you go down in the streets today, Baby, you better,
You better open your eyes.
Folk down there really don't care, really don't care, don't care, really don't
Which, which way the pressure lies,
So I've decided what I'm gonna do now.

[Idril]

Misty Mountain Hop ~ Led Zeppelin


Well, I don't know, what you're thinkin'
And I don't really give a damn
Since I found you're the Reigning Queen
Of the One Night Stand
I've already packed your suitcase
There's a taxi waiting for ya' too
Ya know I might be alot of things
But, I ain't your fool

Misery - The Bodeans


Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,
Engines pumping and thumping in time.
The green light flashes, the flags go up.
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup.

The Distance ~ Cake


You're just looking for a boy
Bathed in infrared and sunlight
I'm all polish and reward
When I'm confident I'm hopeless
Just like everybody else
Right before they fall apart

Chris Cornell › Follow My Way

"Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"
God say, "No." Abe say, "What?"
God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin' you better run"
Well Abe says, "Where do you want this killin' done?"

Highway 61 ~ Bob Dylan



Now there are things in this universe
That we just don't understand
And through an open window came a butterfly
to land on Bucks small hand
The doctors face was strangely white
As if it just couldn't be
But the light was in my boys face
Daddy he said, I can see

[papayahed]

Butterfly for Bucky
written by Bobby Goldsboro and D. Cox
recorded by Bobby Goldsboro 1976

courtesy of cowboylyrics.com



Straight ahead follow the path,
Is it music or is it math?
With formulas for going gold
The same old thing it's getting old.

Blah, blah, blah, blah...
Blah blah blah blah blah blah,
Standardized, homogenized, sterilized,
I've heard that song before
Deodorized, commercialized, televised
I've heard that song before

[BlueSkyGB]

Scatterbrain - Tastes Just Like Chicken


" Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain
Ain't no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door
Got a date, I can't be late, for the high hopes hailla ball. "

[Pendragon]

Led Zepplin ~ The Ocean



Now we could talk all night about the weather

Bellamy Brothers...Beautiful Body

And here's one for us old geezers......:lol: :) :D :lol:

"Well, they'll stone you when you walk all alone.
They'll stone you when you are walking home.
They'll stone you and then say you are brave.
They'll stone you when you are set down in your grave.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned."

[aeroport]

"Everybody Must Get Stoned" - Bob Dylan :thumbs_up


This one might not be easy, so I'll post it all:


Faster moment spent spread tales of change within the sound,
Counting form through rhythm electric freedom
Moves to counter-balance stars expound our conscience
All to know and see the look in your eyes.

Passing time will reach as nature relays to set the scene,
New encounters spark a true fruition,
Guiding lines we touch them, our bodies balance out the waves
As we accelerate our days to the look in your eyes.

From the moment I reached out to hold, I felt a sound,
And what touches our soul slowly moves as touch rebounds.
And to know that tempo will continue
Lost in trance of dances as rhythm takes another turn,
As is my want, I only reach to look in your eyes.

[BlueSkyGB]

You swore that you would never leave me, baby:
What ever happened to you? "

Fool in the Rain - Led Zepplin



I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There's been a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

[Pendragon]

Rhinestone Cowboy ~ Glen Cambell



I've always been the kind of man who doesn't believe in strings
Long term obligations are just unnecessary things
But girl you've got me thinkin', while I'm drinking one more beer
If I'm headed for a heartache, then why the hell am I still here

[Velouria]

Eddie Rabbitt: "Every which but lose" (I think)

I got a cobra snake for a necktie,
I got a brand new house by the road side,
Made out of rattlesnake hide.

Mama Kin - Aerosmith



Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns
The knife inside of me

Take a look and you will find
There's nothing there, girl
Yeah I swear, I'm telling you, girl yeah 'cause

There's a Hole In My Soul
That's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a Hole In My Soul
Yeah, I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose

[Pendragon]

Hole in My Soul ~ Areosmith

Ol' Red Lyrics - Blake Shelton

Ha ha they are a hoot

Come on and tell me twice

Happy Mondays - Kinky Afro

The eagle flies on Friday,
Saturday I go out to play.
Sunday I go to church,
Gonna kneel down and pray."

[Haven]

Stormy Monday ---- B. B. King




City's breaking down on a camel's back.
They just have to go 'cause they don't know wack
So all you fill the streets it's appealing to see
You wont get out the county, 'cos you're damn *** free
You've got a new horizon It's ephemeral style.
A melancholy town where we never smile.
And all I wanna hear is the message beep.
My dreams, they've got to kiss, because I don't get sleep, no..

[Pendragon]

FEEL GOOD INC ~ GORILLAZ

All the children and all of their names

Love is Strange....
haven't heard that one in years....:)


"Women seem wicked when youre unwanted
Streets are uneven when youre down
When youre strange
Faces come out of the rain
When youre strange
No one remembers your name"

[Granny5]

When You're Strange by The Doors

She thinks of him
And so she dresses in black
and tho he'll never come back
She's dressed in black

[Pendragon]

Baby In Black ~ Beatles



And if she's happy thinkin' I'm a car theif,
I guess it's cause I gave her such a deal.
But now all of her old friends are asking questions:
Like, "Where did you get that Oldsmobile?"

[Granny5]

Come on Pen..give us another hint.

[BlueSkyGB]

She thinks I steal cars.....Pinkard and Bowden
synchonisity kicked in on this on...I had to ask a co-worker who had just heard it this AM

"I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time"

[papayahed]

Don't Think Twice, It's All Right - Bob Dylan


I started my life
in an old, cold run down tenement slum
My father left, he never even married mom
I shared the guilt my mama knew
So afraid that others knew I had no name
This love we're contemplating
Is worth the pain of waiting
We'll only end up hating
The child we maybe creating

[Poetess]

Love Child - Supremes


Turn a blind eye
Why do I deny?
Medicate me
So I die Happy
A strain of cancer
Chokes the answers
Are you like me?
A liar like me?

[Shalot]

Love Child - Diana Ross and the Supremes (that song is so much fun to sing in the car on road trips)

Edit: Oops Poetess got there first. Her song is Ugly by The Exies? (dunno - I asked google)



Dead I am the life, dig into the skin
Knuckle crack the bone, 21 to win
Dead I am the dog, hound of hell you cry
Devil on your back, I can never die

I told you my answer
I left you my dreams on your answering machine

verve - come on

In with the early dawn
Moving right along
I couldnt buy an eye of sleep
And in the aching night
Under satellite
I was not recieved
With the stolen parts
A telephone in my heart
Someone get me a priest
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is this a cure is or is this a disease

Stacked Actors ~ Foo Fighters



I took all those habits of yours
That in the beginning were hard to accept
Your fashion sense, Beardsly prints
I put down to experience

The big bosomed lady with the Dutch accent
Who tried to change my point of view
Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed
But my heart cried out for you

You're In My Heart - Rod Stewart



Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing

When the rain washes you clean...you'll know

Dreams - Fleetwood Mac


Heard about the oldtime sailor men,
They eat the same thing again and again;
Warm beer and bread they say could raise the dead.
Well, it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn.

But times have changed for sailors these days.
When I'm in port I get what I need;
Not just Havanas or banana or daiquiris,
But that American creation on which I feed!

[Pendragon]

Cheeseburger in Paradise ~ Jimmy Buffet



I said Jim don't do it there's something missing
There's fellers dancing and fellers kissing
There's a feller in high heeled shoes wearing panty hose
He said partner I just can't turn this down
You just go over there and have one more round
And I'll dance with the lady
And we'll get on down the road

[papayahed]

Uneasy Rider '88 - Charlie Daniels



Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while
I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings
and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see

[Pendragon]

I've Never Been to Me ~ Various Artists



Maybe I should have thought it over
When you said will you join me later
I said honey I don't know if it's right
But when you turned and walked down the street I followed
I felt like I was following a truckload of dynamite

Still Taking Chances - Michael Martin Murphy
(Pretty sure I've heard it, but had to Google anyway...)


"Well maybe you should just drink a lot less coffee,
And never ever watch the ten o'clock news,
Maybe you should kiss someone nice,
Or lick a rock,
Or both."

"Maybe you should cut your own hair
'Cause that can be so funny
It doesn't cost any money
And it always grows back
Hair grows even after you're dead"

The Show Must Go On by Pink Floyd



Did you see the frightened ones
Did you hear the falling bombs
Did you ever wonder
Why we had to run for shelter
When the promise of a brave new world
Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky

Very fitting for your username (and great song)!

Goodbye Blue Sky -- Pink Floyd



We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise
I spoke into his eyes
You must have died alone
A long long time ago

Nice one Idril.....but had to start singing to myself before the title clicked...:lol:

The Show Must Go On by Pink Floyd

I love that song, it's less than two minutes long but I think it's one of Dave's finest vocal moments.


Very fitting for your username (and great song)!

Goodbye Blue Sky -- Pink Floyd


I'm glad to see I'm not the only person who's made that connection.

And your song, blue, is The Man Who Sold The World by David Bowie...and Nirvana.


Walked down by the bathing pond

Saw at least a hundred schoolgirls sobbing
into hankerchiefs as one.
I don't believe they knew
I was a schoolboy.

Mother Goose.....Jethro Tull...

and for the next one....when you play it, turn the volume up as loud as it will go.:D :lol: :)

"He hears the silence howling --
catches angels as they fall.
And the all-time winner
has got him by the balls.
He picks up Gideons Bible --
open at page one --
old Charlie stole the handle and
the train won't stop going --
no way to slow down.'

[NikolaiI]

Locomotive Breath by Jethro Tull :)


o the wind is blowing, it hurts your skin
as you climb up hillside, forest and fen.

your arms full of lullabies, orchids and wine
your memories wrapped within paper and twine.

the room that you lie in is dusty and hard
sleeping soft babies on piles of yards
of gingham, taffeta, cotton and silk
your dry hungry mouths cry for your mother's milk.

when the dawn commes to greet you, you'll rise with clothes on
and advance with the others, singing old songs
of cattle and maidens and withered old queens.
let the music carry you on.

The Tain (Part IV) by the Decemberists


Mrs. Mooney has a pie shop.
Does a business, but I notice something weird.
Lately, all her neighbors cats have disappeared.
Have to hand it to her!
What I calls,
enterprise!
Poppin' pussies into pies!
Wouldn't do in my shop!
Just the thought of it's enough to make you sick!
And I'm telling you them pussycats is quick.

Sweeny Todd - The Worst Pie in London



Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline.
It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean.
They say he loved adventure, rickys the wild one.
He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun.

18 AND LIFE~ Skid Row

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating life
Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

[papayahed]

My Immortal - Evanescense



I feel unhappy
I feel so sad
I lost the best friend
That I ever had

She was my woman
I loved her so
But it's too late now
I've let her go
