Name That Song

Pleasant Valley Sunday - The Monkees

[QUOTE]We hate it when our friends become successful,
And if they're northern
That makes it even worse and
If we can destroy them
You bet your life we will destroy them.
If we can hurt them, well,
We may well.
It's really laughable,
Ah hahahaha etc.
You see, it should have been me.
It could have been me.
Everybody knows, everybody says so.
They say, "Oh, you have loads of songs,
So many songs,
More songs than they can stand --[QUOTE]


I've made this one quite easy for you people....

Morrissey - We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful

Quote:

---

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never
coming round
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
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart

Total eclipse of the heart - Bonnie Tyler???? (maybe)

"Boy Mercury, shooting through every degree
A girl dancing down those dirty and dusty trails
Take it hip to hip rockin through the wilderness
All around the world the trip begins with a kiss...."

Roam ~ B52's. I like that song. :)

Speak
You're speaking words
But all I ever heard
Is white noise from weird boys

So Weird - Veruca Salt

Quote:

---

A man walks down the street
He says "Why am I short of attention,
Got a short little span of attention
And oh my nights are so long.
Where's my wife and family?
What if I die here?
Who'll be my role-model
Now that my role-model is
Gone, gone."

---

You can call me Al - Paul Simon

"I don't wanna talk about things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me, now it's history
I've played all my cards and that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say, no more ace to play"

The Winner Takes It All - ABBA

Quote:

---

It doesn't hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
You, it's you and me.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places....

Running up that hill - Kate Bush

"Well, Im a thinkin and thinkin, till theres nothin I aint thunk.
Breathing in the stink, till finally I stunk.
It was at that time, I swear I lost my mind.
I started making plans to kill my own kind.
I started making plans to kill my own kind."

Country Death Song ~ Violent Femmes

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason Ive been waiting so long.
Somebody holds the key

Can't Find My Way Home ~ Steve Winwood (Googled! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l1...Embarassed.gif)

Quote:

---

Here I lie in a lost and lonely part of town,
Held in time in a world of tears I slowly drown.
Goin' home; I just can't make it all alone.
I really should be holding you, holding you,
Loving you, loving you.

---

And yep, Auntie, that was Bonnie Tyler! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l1...mKane/Goth.gif

Tragedy - The Bee Gees

Quote:

---

Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have
Kicked you around some
Tell me why you wanna lay there,
Revel in your abandon

Honey, it don't make no difference to me
Baby, everybody's had to fight to be free...

---

Oh, I love that song, Refugee by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Quote:

---

We may still have time
We might still get by
Every time I think about it I want to cry
With the bombs and the devils
And the kids keep coming
Nowhere to breathe easy...no time to be young

---

Crazy on You - Heart

Quote:

---

I can see her looking fast in her faded jeans
She's a hard loving woman, got me feeling mean;
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain

---

Gordon Lightfoot ~ Sundown. That's a good song too, reminds me of summers at the lake.

Quote:

---

With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass
She is fast, thorough, and sharp as a tack
Shes touring the facility and picking up slack

---

Short Skirt/Long Jacket

Quote:

---

She was always something special
A diamond shining bright in the rain
Everybody dreams of angels
No one will ever know how much I loved ya so

---

LA Guns ~ Ballad of Jayne...I seem to remember we had a conversation about this song once about the fact that there's a made up song on the tv show Firefly called The Ballad of Jayne...or am I dreaming?

Quote:

---

We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance

Safety Dance - Men without hats (or something like that)

yeah, I think that did take place -- had the song on my mind because I found all these eighties hairband videos on MySpace yesterday and that was one of them.

Quote:

---

There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign

---

If you never saw the video for Safety Dance, you owe to yourself to check it out. I wish I had a dwarf-jester sidekick. :D

Shalot's song is King of Pain by the Police

Quote:

---

I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud

They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore

It is awesome, I've always loved that song simply because the video is so fabulous.

And Basil's song is Luka by Suzanne Vega.

Quote:

---

Oh, my tears wept like a child.
How her golden hair was blowing wild.
Then she spread her wings to fly,
For to fly.

The Nile Song -Pink Floyd (I knew it was a Pink Floyd song, but I couldn't think which one. AND I own the album. :()

Quote:

---

Another Saturday, another date.
She would be ready but she'd always make him wait.
In the hallway, in anticipation,
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration.
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek.

Come dancing - The Kinks

Quote:

---

A man of riches
May claim a crown of jewels
But the king of heaven
Can be told from the prince of fools

It's one of my favorite songs from their early years. Dave has that heavy metal scream which is so incredibly unusual for him. One of the things I love the most about him is his beautiful, melodic voice but it's nice to hear him let it rip at least once in awhile.

Aunty-lion, your song is By The Mark by Gillian Welch...I had to google that one.

Quote:

---

’cause I gonna make you see
There’s nobody else here
No one like me
I’m special so special
I gotta have some of your attention give it to me

Brass in Pocket - The Pretenders


This is an easy one cause my computers jacked up

Quote:

I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and french fried potato
Big Kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Good God Almighty
Which way do I steer

Jimmy Buffet ~ Cheeseburger in Paradise (Yeah, Parrotheads!) http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l1...ane/Parrot.gif

Quote:

---

Your ketchup's in the bag
And her check is in the mail
I hope your chicken's raw inside
And I hope your bun is stale
I'm supposed to tell you
"Please come back"
But how bout this instead?
I hope you both choke on a pickle
Man, that would tickle me to death
I don't know what you're waiting on
You're holding up the line
Oh man, you ain't got no change coming back
Are you out of your mind?

---

Tim McGraw - Do You Want Fries With That?

Quote:

---

Babe you know
You're growing up so fast
And Mama's worrying
That you won't last to say
Let's play
Sister Christian
There's so much in life
Don't you give it up
Before your time is due
It's true
It's true yeah

---

Oh my gosh, that song brings back memories...Sister Christian ~ Night Ranger

Quote:

---

'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed
That was me and I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes, and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails
Down someone else's back I hope you feel it

---

You Oughta Know - Alanis Morissette

Quote:

---

Johnny Reb, what’s the price of fans-
Forty a piece or three for one dollar?
Hey captain, don’t you want to buy
Some bone chains and toothpicks?

---

Is it called Swan, Swan (something or rather...) by REM?

I hope I'm remembering that right...

Anyway,

Quote:

---

Why aren't you kind to me?
You could so easily
Take me in your arms and see
A Donkey, a beast for thee.

---

Beast For Thee - Bonnie 'Prince' Billy

Quote:

---

Made of plastic and elastic
He is rugged and long-lasting
Who could ever ever ask for more?
Love without complications galore

Many shapes and weights to choose from
I will never leave my bedroom
I will never cry at night again
Wrap my arms around him and pretend

---

Coin Operated Boy ~ Dresen Dolls (Goggled for sure!)

Quote:

---

Well my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only came to town about twice a year

---

Copperhead Road - Steve Earle (googled, but I should've gotten this one)

Quote:

---

But who can unlearn all the facts that I've learned
I sat in their chairs and my synapses burned
The torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue
Thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun
All my vasoconstrictors, they come slowly undone
Can't this wait 'til I'm old,
Can't I live while I'm young?

---

Chalk Dust Torture ~ Phish

Quote:

---

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean

What I Am by EDIE BRICKELL

Quote:

---

My mother was a witch, she was burned alive.
Thankless little *****, for the tears I cried.
Take her down now, don't want to see her face
All blistered and burnt, can't hide my disgrace

---

Am I Evil - Metallica

Quote:

---

In this place that I call home
My brain's the cliff and my heart's the bitter buffalo
My heart's the bitter buffalo
We tore one down and erected another there
The match of the century: absence versus thin air

---

Heart Cooks Brain ~ Modest Mouse...I just got a bunch of Modest Mouse, not that anyone cares but I just had to add that. :blush:

Quote:

---

I tried to love her back
And then I shrunk back into my wrap
And in the barrel of my gun
I hope I'm not the only one

---

Eddie's Gun - The Kooks

Quote:

---

Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man

---

Great song...Lola ~ The Kinks

Quote:

---

You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it
A treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night

You say you'll give me eyes in a world of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest

---

All I Want is You - U2

Quote:

---

you can just get your mind together
then come across to me
We'll hold hands an' then we'll watch the sun rise
from the bottom of the sea
But first

---

Are You Experienced? - Jimi Hendrix

Quote:

---

Sitting round, singing songs 'til the night turns into day
Used to sing on the mountains, but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start
