Song/Lyric Game Part 2
I think it's time to restart the thread so it doesn't take so long to load
last song posted was SueR
Come to the barbecue and sit by my side
We couldn't choose a better night if we tried
Can't you imagine what a thrill it will be
Pickin' a chicken with me
It's so romantic, the moon up above
Is extra bright on a night such as this
Pullin' a wishbone with someone you love
Is almost certain to end with a kiss
So come to the barbecue, my darling my dear
I'm so in love with you and when you are near
Eve Boswell
So I pulled up to a neon sign on highway forty-nine
Shut the engine down, took a look around
And then I stepped inside
I asked that bouncer where I was
He said, "Son, you're at Bills"
Honky tonk pickin', line dance kickin'
Razor back stickin', barbecue chicken
Laundromat bar and grill
Confederate Railroad
And don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling, save the last dance for me
The Drifters
I'm sitting in the railway station.got a ticket to my destination. On a tour of one-night stands,my suitcase and guitar in hand,and every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band. Homeward bound,I wish I was,homeward bound. Home,where my thoughts escaping,Home,where my music's playing,Home,where my love lies waiting,silently for me. Simon and Garfunkel
One toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Awaitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Brewer & Shipley
I wonder if this squeaky clean duet have a clue what the song they are covering is about
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t8tdmaEhMHE
They probably sang it because it contains the words sweet Jesus and sweet Mary. I was in college in 1971 and I tried pot, it didn't do anything for me and I just politely declined it at parties, but it was everywhere on campus and I never passed judgment on all my classmates who were doing it … at a time when the "establishment" was sending thousands of people my age to Vietnam to die... my neighbor and good friend died in Nam, it was an awful time … I found joy in my Orioles who won over 100 games three straight years, and I've always been fanatical about sports, but really … who was I to condemn young people who were using mary janes to mellow out? The great majority of them grew up to be good, hard working, and productive adults.
"Before you refuse, criticize and abuse
Walk a mile in my shoes"
Elvis
Just take off your shoes
Just take off your shoes
You've nothing left to lose
Just take off your shoes
The shoes stay on my feet (on my feet)
The shoes stay on my feet (on my feet)
The shoes stay on my feet (on my feet)
The shoes stay on my feet
What's that sound?
I like that sound
I love that sound
It's the sound of my shoes
Tiga
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I've got to beware
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Buffalo Springfield
I'm all about the look that you're giving me
I'm all about the dance moves you're letting free
Well, I'm all about a sweet sounding loving spree
So Listen for my melody
And maybe I'm, I'm caught up in the thing that you know I like
You check it one time, baby overnight
See we can make a grand escape
Or we can roll high, by the way
And when we come down, o yeah yeah yeah
We'll be dreaming safe and sound
Rebelution
When I met you in the restaurant you could tell I was no debutante
You asked me what's my pleasure, "A movie or a measure"?
I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreamin'
Dreamin' is free
Dreamin', dreaming is free
Blondie
Time, time time, see what's become of me
While I looked around for my possibilities
I was so hard to please
Don't look around
The leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Simon & Garfunkel
Winter is here, and it's cold this time of year.
There's snow everywhere in sight, falling on this winter night.
By candle light, we share this chilly night.
There's frost on the window pane, winter nights are here again.
Angel
Sometimes in winter
I love you when the good times
Seem like memories in the spring
That never came
Sometimes in winter
I wish the empty streets
Would fill with laughter
From the tears that ease my pain
Blood, Sweat and Tears
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
many covers.. Johnny Mathis?
It's a beautiful mornin'
I think I'll go outside a while,
An just smile.
Just take in some clean fresh air, boy
The Rascals
Today's gonna be a beautiful day, uh huh
No more waiting for the usual thing, uh huh
Don't dare waste your time, boy
Don't dare waste your time
No more waiting for the usual thing, uh huh
Mellowdrone
You are beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
Oh no
Christina Aguilera
So give me your Sunday twisted lazy kisses
Got no place we need to go
And give me your Sunday twisted lazy kisses
Let's just stay right here at home
JT Roach
And the meadows gleam neatly
as though brushed, by a comb.
And the night bird sings sweetly:
"There's no place like home."
Glen Campbell
Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays
A holiday song just about everyone sings
Follow the smoke from my fireplace
Right to my door
We'll sit by the fire
Like we've done before
Hang your hat on the nail
Make yourself home
Cody Canada
Out all night running wild
Woman sitting home with a month old child
Dang me, dang me
They aughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman, would you weep for me?
Roger Miller
Lonely is the night when you find yourself alone
Your demons come to light and your mind is not your own
Lonely is the night when there's no one left to call
You feel the time is right, say the writing's on the wall
Lonely, lonely, lonely your spirit's sinkin' down
You find you're not the only stranger in this town
Billy Squier
For the words of the prophets
Were written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And echo with the sounds of silence
Simon and Garfunkel
Subway Terror...
I got my suit on
I got my boot on
I'm goin' down that stairway
Gotta put my glove on
If I get some blood on
My sneakers I don't care
Hey man, I got my ludes
I'm in the mood
They look so lovely and pale
When they kiss the third rail
And they won't step lively anymore

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
Procol Harum
I see a summer's night with a magic moon
Every time you walk into the room
The Searchers
Monday morning
Friday's far away
Pray you'll make it
It's a magic day
Bells will ring and you'll go out to play
Spend your money
Pass the bottle
Friday rules
Friday rules okay
Joe Jackson
Monday morning feels so bad
Everybody seems to nag me
Comin' Tuesday I feel better
Even my old man looks
Good
Wednesday just don't go
Thursday goes too slow
I've got Friday on my mind
The Easybeats
Heavenly bound
Cause heaven's got a number
When she's spinning me around
Kissing is a color
Her loving is a wild dog
She's got the look
My favorite one from- Roxette

where your love lives
where your heart flies
that's where I wake up
my final morning
inner voices
heavenly angels smiling
begin to sing a song''
Marie Fredriksson

from the movie Arn - The Knight Templar
Sing.
Sing a song.
Make it simple to last your whole life long.
Don't worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear.
Just sing.
Sing a song.
Carpenters
Oh a lifetime isn't enough to love you
And a lifetime isn't enough to live

Alanis Morissette
"Oh, wait a minute, mister
I didn't even kiss her
Don't want no trouble with you
And I know you don't owe me
But I wish you'd let me
Ask one favor from you"
"Oh, won't you
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme three steps toward the door?
Lynyrd Skynyrd
When they insist on knowing my bliss
I tell them this
When they want to know what the reason is
I only smile when I lie, then I tell them why
your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life
Hall & Oates
I say I don't love you
But you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Ooh, fire
The Pointer Sisters
If I had all the money in the world
I'd probably burn it all
If I had all the riches in the world
I'd surely burn it all
One in a million, money gonna kill a man
Why must we lose control?
Blaze up a fire storm, the people getting higher from
The smoke of another man's gold
Who set the world on fire?
Who set the world on fire?
Who set the world on fire?
It was me, I set the world on fire

my top 10 pick, GREAT SONG
The story is told
Of the power of gold
And its lure on the unsuspecting
It glitters and shines
It badgers it blinds
And constantly needs protecting
Balance the cost
Of the soul you've lost
With the dreams that you've lightly sold
Are you under the power of gold?
Dan Fogelberg
ok, so the word is 'and' but one good Fogelberg song deserves another-
Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stood behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve
She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried
We took her groceries to the check out stand
The food was totaled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation lagged
We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how
Dan Fogelberg
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Tracey Chapman
Hands me the ticket, smiles and whispers good luck
Cuddle up angel, cuddle up my little dove
We'll ride down, baby, into this tunnel of love…
Tunnel of Love ~ Bruce
You are my special angel
Sent from up above
The Lord smiled down on me
And sent an angel to love
Bobby Helms
You look like an angel
Walk like an angel
Talk like an angel
But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise
Elvis
[Chorus]
It's just a heathen town
I hear only evil
As my tongue is tightened
I used to be god-fearing
Now I'm so frightened
Because the devil will drag you under
By the sharp tail fin
Of your checkered cab
And I can't sit down
I'm going overboard
In this heathen town
Elvis Costello
You gotta slip, bop, flip, flop, hip hop
Never stop
You can't sit down, can't sit down
You gotta move, move, move
Around and round
The Dovells
You spin me right 'round, baby
Right 'round like a record, baby
Right 'round, 'round, 'round
You spin me right 'round, baby
Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)

Be my little baby, my one and only baby
Say you'll be my darlin', be my, be my baby
Be my baby now, my one and only baby
Wha oh oh oh
The Ronettes
You can take me under
You can give me a lip
You can take me over
You can give me the slip
You can take off everything or tear me off a strip
With a bullet in the chamber and another in the clip
Little goody two shoes is here to clinch
You can miss it by a mile or you can miss by an inch
Don't move a muscle, baby, don't even flinch
Or little goody two shoes will feel the pinch
Elvis Costello
One way or another, I'm gonna lose ya

Neil Diamond
Is it any wonder I've got too much time on my hands?

It's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands
And it's ticking away, ticking away from me
Styx
You say hop and I'll hop

I'm just like putty
A putty in your hands
Eric Clapton

When the record starts spinnin'
You chalypso when you chicken at the hop
Do the dance sensation that is sweepin' the nation at the hop
Danny & the Juniors
I overwhelm as I approach you
Make your lungs hold breath inside

I'm a sensation
The Who - Tommy

And floating around in ecstasy

I'm a racing car, passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go, go, go
There's no stopping me
Queen
You move your little feet, you rock-a to the beat
You hear this song and you gotta come around

Said are you ready, said are you ready to stop
I said stop

Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain

Tom Petty
I could've saw it coming, but the voices in my head, they won't stop
Well, I've been running and I'm running and I'm running, but them can't catch up
Well, I've been holding onto everything, but everything is never enough
I feel the warning shot, I feel the bass drop
But this music never stops
Stick Figure
If I was your girl believe me
I'd turn on the Rolling Stones
We could groove along and feel much better
I could do it forever and ever

Walk through heaven's door I'm sure
We don't need no doctor to feel much better
Let me in
Forever and ever and ever and ever
Sophie B. Hawkins
Oh help me, please doctor, I'm damaged

Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve it
Right there in that jar?
The Rolling Stones
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8Ci47X96H0
I saw you there, just standing there
And I thought I was only dreaming, yeah
I kissed you then, then once again
You said you would come and dance with me
Dance with me across the sea
And we could feel the motion of a thousand dreams
Oh, doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning
Oh, doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling ?

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears, without crying

To see the evil and the good, without hiding
You must help me if you can
Jackson Browne
You need my love baby, oh so bad
You're not the only one I've ever had
And if I say I want to set you free
Don't you know you'll be in misery
They call me doctor love
They call me doctor love, calling doctor love
I've got the cure you're thinking of, calling doctor love
Kiss
PS I am really glad I started this thread, but aren't we supposed to post the line(s) and then have people guess who it is... and the name of the song as well.
Too many lines and it is also too easy to figure out.
No worries either way, just not my original conception.
you didn't start this thread, go back to the top.
on this thread one posts lyrics from a song and the next picks a word or more from them and posts their choice of lyrics and so on.
back to this game

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you

Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
Cyndi Lauper
Your the most colorful thing that i've seen

No no Nanette
That's all I hear

Sometimes, perhaps, I'll have my way
When I am old and turning grey
But as yet it's always
no no no no no no no Nanette !

Someone who has more imagination than me
Alan Parsons
Touch me in the morning
Then just walk away

Wasn't it me who said Nothing good's gonna last forever
And wasn't it me who said Let's just be glad for the time together?
It must've been hard to tell me
That you've given all you had to give
I can understand you're feeling that way

Next:
Billy, he's down by the railroad tracks
Sitting low in the back seat of his Cadillac
Diamond Jackie, she's so intact
As she falls so softly beneath him
Jackie's heels are stacked
Billy's got cleats on his boots
Together they're gonna boogaloo down Broadway
And come back home with the loot
It's midnight in Manhattan, this is no time to get cute
It's a mad dog's promenade
So walk tall
Or baby, don't walk at all.....

Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade and the gamblin' commission's hangin' on by the skin of its teeth.

There's a rumble in Brighton tonight

All the cops in the donut shops say
Way oh way oh way oh way ooooo
Walk like an Egyptian
The Bangles
By the way, I was in Allentown PA and saw a cop car with a sticker that read …
WARNING car stops at Dunkin Donuts shops
A cop with a sense of humor (so rare)
I feel you crumble in my arms down to your heart of stone
You bled me dry just like the tears you never show
Jan '20
I'm romancing the stone
Never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day
Gonna love the hurting away
Eddy Grant
Diamond eyes
That burn me and turn me to stone
Crystallize
And freeze me in clear monochrome
Turn me to stone; do anything you want with me
Turn me to stone; do anything you want

Diamond girl, roaming wild
Such a rare thing, radiant child
I could never find, another one like you
Part of me is deep down inside you
Seals and Crofts
And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
Sarah McLachlan
(my favorite lyrics from her)
One! singular sensation
Every little step she takes
One! thrilling combination
Every move that she makes
One smile and suddenly nobody else will do
You know you'll never be lonely with you know who
One! moment in her presence
And you can forget the rest
For the girl is second best, to none,son
Oh sigh give her your attention
Do I really have to mention
She's the one
from A Chorus Line - by Marvin Hamlisch
Steadily moves
Like the grooves on a record
My head spins
When she talks to me
Oh, yeah
Slip and sliding
We go gliding by
And I can hear her say
My baby says "Hey"
She talks in Stereo
She sounds so good to me
She talks in Stereo
Gary Myrick
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKhmK_sD2uo
She said she heard me on the radio
She said I even sounded good in her car through her '87 stereo
Yeah she thought I was cool
Dirty Heads
And late at night I turn you on
On the radio
I love the music
On the radio
It's what they're playing
When the radio's on and you
And me get crazy
Cheap Trick
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone too far
The Buggles
Midnight, on the water
I saw the ocean's daughter
Walking on a wave she came
Staring as she called my name
And I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my whole world is gone for dead
'Cause I can't get it out of my head
Breakdown on the shoreline
Can't move it's an ebbtide
Morning, don't get here tonight
Searching for her silver light
And I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Electric Light Orchestra
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down
After midnight, we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout
We're gonna stimulate some action
We're gonna get some satisfaction
We're gonna find out what it is all about
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down (after midnight, after midnight)
Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug
Makes you wanna holler hei-de-ho
Burns your tummy don't ya know
Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug
Roger Miller
From all I've seen, you only get one shot
At what you're gonna do in this life
Ah, what the hell, I guess I might as well
Take a chance and try my way
I'm like James Brown only white and taller
And all I wanna do is stomp and holler
Hayes Carll
The kids in Bristol
Are sharp as a pistol
When they do the Bristol Stomp
The Dovells
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't I'll go outta my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
I know if I go, things would be a lot better for her
I had things planned but her folks wouldn't let her
The Who
Rainy day bells play by the raindrops
Sing out a message
Don't be afraid of the sun
Somewhere the sun is shining
Through a silver lining
Wait and see, say the rainy day bells
Neil Sedaka
Once I sat upon a hill to watch the world go by
My friend the young magician had forbidden me to cry
But I was the comedian with the laughs in short supply
Shine on silver sun, shine on everyone
Shine on silver sun, shine on
The sunlight filtered softly through the pale and watery sky
To catch the mirrored salmon as it rose to take the fly
The flowers on the riverbank were left alone to die
Shine on silver sun, shine on everyone
Shine on silver sun, shine on
The church bells sounded midnight as I rose to say goodbye
And a solitary tear fell from the corner of my eye
Shine on silver sun,shine on everyone
Shine on silver sun, shine on
Strawbs
You gone on magazines and the silver screen
They hear the gold that's in your heart
I'll be fine, oh, I can stay with an old friend of mine
I can find myself some California wine
Brett Dennen
I want to live, I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Neil Young
Shiny happy people laughing
Meet me in the crowd, people,people
Throw your love around, love me, love me
Take it into town, happy, happy
Put it in the ground where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
Everyone around, love them, love them
Put it in your hands, take it, take it
There's no time to cry, happy, happy
Put it in your heart where tomorrow shines
Gold and silver shine
R.E.M.
Drink up and be happy
Live just for today
Drown in cheap tequila
And flush yourself away
Flush yourself away

Pack up your troubles and just get happy
Ya better chase all your cares away
Sing Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
Get ready for the judgement day
The sun is shinin', c'mon get happy
The Lord is waiting to take your hand
Shout Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
We're goin' to the Promised Land
We're headin' cross the river
Gonna wash our sins in the tide
It's all so peaceful
On the other side
Harold Arlen - Judy Garland has sung it - and many others
What's the use of worrying?
It never was worthwhile
So pack up your troubles in an old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile
Spike Jones and many others
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
Nat King Cole
There's too many folks who just wait up till the morning
Don't they know tomorrow never comes
Roger Whittaker
The sun'll come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There'll be sun
Just thinkin' about tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
'Til there's none
When I'm stuck with a day that's grey and lonely
I just stick out my chin and grin and say
Oh!
The sun'll come out tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on 'til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow tomorrow I love ya tomorrow
You're only a day away
Annie - opened on Broadway 1977
I've learned a lesson in my life
A lesson in my life
Always be careful of mankind
Be careful of mankind
They'll make promises today, but tomorrow change their mind
They make promises today, but tomorrow change their mind

Oh, how they fill my eyes
Oh, my sorrows, sad tomorrows
Take me back to my old home
Marmalade

And you've auctioned all your clothes
And look to see your true reflection
You will be the one who loves you the most
You will be the one who loves you the most
You will be the one who loves you the most

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors

Why don't you try a little kindness
Yes, show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
You can overlook the blindness
Of the narrow minded people
On the narrow minded street
Bobby Austin, performed by Glen Campbell
Arise, be our help.. place my trust in your kindness,
It's a must hoping in the God of deliverance.

You always will be mine, everlasting love

When all I want is you, can never fade yeah
Jack Johnson
All I want is a room somewhere
Far away from the cold night air
With one enormous chair
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
My Fair Lady- Frederick Loewe
But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
It doesn't help to know you're so far away

Tell 'em we're brats and the press twist our fist - get me out of this
Mist.
Mott the Hoople
I'm driving in my car
I turn on the radio
I'm pulling you close
You just say no
You say you don't like it
But I know you're a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Ooooh fire
Late at night
I'm taking you home
I say I wanna stay
You say you wanna be alone
You say you don't love me
Girl you can't hide your desire
'Cause when we kiss
Ooooh fire
You had a hold on me
Right from the start
A grip so tight
I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin'
Actin' like a fool
Well your kisses they burn
But your heart stays cool
Romeo and Juliet
Samson and Delilah
Baby you can bet
Their love they didn't deny
You words say split
But your words they lie
'Cause when we kiss
Mmmmmm, Fire, Fire
Burnin' in my soul
It's outta control
Bruce Springsteen
If I don't find work tomorrow
It's gonna be heartache and sorrow
Our love's gonna be destroyed in tragedy
Just like Romeo and Juliet
The Reflections
You bring the sunshine when it's dark
With nothing but love sweet love
And make me smile and say it's fine
When I haven't got a dime
Love, true love
And when things are going wrong
We can fix it with a song
I know we can now
Peter Tosh
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Billy Withers
Yes, sweet, sweet love will have sun go down
It's true, it's true, it's true
And that's the sound of sunshine going down
That's the sound of sunshine going down
And I say you're the one I want to be with
When the sun goes down
You're the one I want to be with
When the sun goes down

Baby, you're the one that I love
Keep me in your heart, never let us part
Ooh, never leave me, please don't deceive me
I love you only, you must believe me
Smooth romantic song from a half-century ago by The Vogues
When I first saw you, I saw love
And the first time you touched me, I felt love
And after all this time
You're still the one I love, mmm, yeah
Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday
They said "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together, still going strong

And we can build this thing together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now

You surely won't deny a dyin' man a drink at least
Corb Lund
They call me Mr. Knowitall
I am so eloquent
Perfection is my middle name
And whatever rhymes with eloquent
Come in ev'rybody, I say now let's play a game
I betcha I can make a rhyme out of anybody's name
The first letter if the name
I treat it like it wasn't there
But a B or an F or an M will appear
And then I say Bo add a B then I say the name
Then Bo-na-na fanna and fo
And then I say the name again with an F very plain
Then fee-fi and a mo
And then I say the name again with an M this time
And there isn't any name that I can't rhyme

People get ready, there's a train a-coming
Don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord
Curtis Mayfield
I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since, I don't know when

And time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a-rollin'
On down to San Antone
Johnny Cash
Down around the corner, half a mile from here
See that long train runnin, and you watch it disappear
Without love, where would you be now?
Without l-o-o-o-ve…
The Doobie Brothers
Is the music of Grove Skin Rock
Soaked in the diesel of war boys war?
Blood, black gold and the face of a judge

But don't go alone now, Sammy

Well I hope you find the courage to grow

Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in
Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?
Alan Parsons Project
Most people live on a lonely island
Lost in the middle of a foggy sea
Most people long for another island
One where they know they would like to be
Bali Hai may call you
Any night, any day
In your heart you'll hear it call you
Come away, come away
Bali Hai will whisper on the wind of the sea
Here I am, your special island
Come to me, come to me
Juanita Hall - South Pacific
There's a little old town and it's tucked away on an island on the sea
So far away from everything, where time it don't mean a thing
And time moves slow and certainly we got no place to be
Where's there's love there is life, there is a hope and a dream
This is the place for you and me
Stick Figure
No man is an island, no man stands alone
Each man's joy is joy to me, each man's grief is my own
We need one another, so I will defend
Each man as my brother, each man as my friend
Joan Baez
Nah nah, honey I'm good
I could have another but I probably should not
I've got somebody at home, and if I stay I might not leave alone
No, honey I'm good, I could have another but I probably shouldn't
I've gotta bid you adieu and to another I will stay true
I will stay true
(Hoo hoo wooh true) I will stay true

And I'm gonna be true blue

Sometimes I wonder when I look at the trees and I wish
All the trees was sweet sensi

All around here
Around the whole wide world
I keep on dreaming of a better place

The Moody Blues
My Rio, Rio by the Sea-o
Flying down to Rio where there'd rhythm and rhyme
Hey feller, twirl that old propeller
Got to get to Rio and we've got to make time
You'll love it, soaring high above it
Looking down on Rio from a heaven of blue
Send a radio to Rio de Janeiro
With a big hello just so they'll know and stand by there
We'll fly there
Oh, Rio, ev'rything will be okay
We're singing and winging our way to you
Flying Down To Rio - 1933
Her name is Rio and she dances through the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio, across the Rio Grande

On down to Louisiana, Whiskey River Landing,
Crawfish pie and eat jambalaya with a big ole coon ass smile.
Ryan Bingham
Goodbye Papa it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You've tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Terry Jacks
Could You make room in heaven for a black sheep
Could you love me and treat me as your own
Or will I still be treated like an outcast
A black sheep who must always play alone
Country Johnny Mathis
Would you know my name?
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same?
If I saw you in heaven?

Find some ease to keep you on
Feeling like you feel
Deep into your soul take this from me
Sending you some healing energy

I'm a soul man
Dave & Sam
In my song
In my song no complication

In my song can't go outta control
Peter Tosh
And you can tell everybody this is your song

When I woke up this morning and got out the bed
I had some really fresh thoughts going through my head
They were thoughts that came from a wonderful dream
It was the vision of a world working as a team
Run DMC
"Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Made my way upstairs and had a smoke
And everybody spoke and I went into a dream
"Oh shxxt"
I read the news today, oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all"
Lennon/McCartney
I don't want to spend the rest of my life
Looking at the barrel of an Armalite
I don't want to spend the rest of my days
Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say
I don't want to spend my time in hell
Looking at the walls of a prison cell
I don't ever want to play the part
Of a statistic on a government chart
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done

So they send you off on night patrol
Put a carbine in your hand

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
White riot, I want to riot
White riot, a riot of our own
White riot, I want to riot
White riot, a riot of our own

Too chicken to even try it
And everybody's doing
Just what they're told to
And nobody wants
To go to jail

They're gonna have to take away my prescription

Career opportunities, the ones that never knock
THE Clash
I take the poor man's path and I must refuse your test
Push me and I will resist
This behaviors not unique
I don't want to hear from those who know
They can buy but can't put on my clothes
I don't want to limp for them to walk
Never would have known of me before
I don't want to be held in your debt
I'll pay it of in blood let, I be wed
I'm already cut up an half dead
I'll end up alone like I began
Everything has chains, absolutely nothings changed ...

To come away with me in the night
Come away with me

And you know
I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come.

No place to hide.

To protect myself from men.
'Cause I've never done nothin' wrong,
And I hate travelling scared
Peter Tosh
Do you know what's worth fighting for
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does he pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins.
One, twenty-one guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, twenty-one guns
Throw up your arms into the sky

Hyper Static Union
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
The Pretenders
No one to blame, don't got the answers
I felt the pain, I can attest it
That's just the game and I respect it, yeah
'Cause sometimes s*** don't go your way, sometimes
And sometimes you gon' have those days, yeah
And sometimes you'll feel out of place
You can't promise me it'll be the same
'Cause sometimes change...
H.E.R. Sometimes
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
Fleetwood Mac
They say in heaven love comes first
You make heaven a place on earth
Belinda Carlisle
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles
You live you learn, you love you learn
~Alanis Morissette
A genuine lover takes off his clothes
And he can make a lover in a thousand go's
An' she don't need that thing that she had
Yeah to swallow, know what I mean?
They call it "Lover's Rock"
THE Clash
You work so hard, you really do
I don't think that anyone could ever work as hard as you
Hot desert sun, you can feel the heat
Every drop of sweat on your brow is well-earned, so you best believe
I got a thousand hugs and kisses for you when you come back home, baby
I got a thousand hugs and kisses for you when you come back home, baby
Prince
Should have been dead
On a Sunday morning
Banging my head
No time for mourning
Ain't got no time
So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
(And I said oh) all held captive
Out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one
Creed - My Own Prison
May '20
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done
The Police
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
Lee Ann Womack
After six hours of school I've had enough for the day
I hit the radio dial and turn it up all the way
I gotta dance (dance dance dance now the beat's really hot) right on the spot
(Dance dance dance right there on the spot)
The beat's really hot
(Dance dance dance now the beat's really hot)
Dance (dance) dance (dance) dance (dance) yeah!
The Beach Boys
Jenny said, when she was just five years old
You know there's nothin' happening at all
Every time she put on the radio
There was nothin' goin' down at all
Not at all
One fine mornin', she puts on a New York station
And she couldn't believe what she heard at all
She started dancin' to that fine-fine-fine-fine music
Ooohhh, her life was saved by rock 'n' roll
Hey baby, rock 'n' roll
Lou Reed
I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
And now I found ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you
As I'm standing here
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you
And we start to dance
All around us
I see nobody
Here in silence
It's just you and me
~Colby Caillat
Her face was crystal
Fair and fine
Her breath was morning
Her lips were wine
Her eyes were laughter
Her touch divine
Her face was crystal
And she was mine
Townes Van Sandt
I wonder what tomorrow has in mind for me
Or am I even in it's mind at all
Perhaps I'll get a chance to look ahead and see
Soon as I find myself a crystal ball
Soon as I find myself a crystal ball
Styx
