A Forum Game--"Think of a Lyric"

A Forum Game--"Think of a Lyric"

Okay denizens of JoeUser. This is something I have been wanting to do for a while here. I played along with this game on another forum and it was a lot of fun. Over there we had stretched it to over 2,500 replies. So I am asking you folks here to play along, let's have some fun with this. Here are the rules.

Each person needs to think of part of a lyric from a song. I will start it off with some lyrics. The next person to post adds some lyrics, the trick being one of the words in the lyrics they post must also be in the lyrics I posted. Then the next person picks a word in the on above them and post a lyrics with a common word, and so on. Does that make sense? So some specifics. Words like 'a', 'the', 'it' are discouraged, try to be more creative. Please put in bold the word in your lyric that you had in common with post before you. Do not post entire songs. It makes it too hard and there may be copyright issues. Try to limit posts to only one verse or the chorus, something small. But not so small that it makes it impossible for the next person. And it is always nice to include the artist and title of the song. Everybody game? Please? I will kick it off.

Well I was drunk,
the day my mamma,
got out of prison,
so I went,
to pick her up, in the rai-ai-ain,
but before, I could get to the station in my pickup truck,
She got run over, by a damned ole train,

So I'll hang around, as long as you will let me,
And I never minded standing, in the rain,
But you don't have to call me darlin', darling,
You never even called me,
Yeah I wonder why you don't call me,
Why don't you ever call me by my name?

-The infamous "perfect country and western song" verse from Why don't you ever call me by my name?- sung by David Allen Coe.

Well I caught my wife with another man,
And it cost me 99,
In a prison farm in Georgia,
right above the Florida line.

Above the crowds
Above the clouds
Where the sounds are original
Infinite skills create miracles
Warrior spiritual
Above the clouds
Reigning down, holdin' it down

My heart is a muscle and it pumps blood
Like a big old black stick train
My veins are the tracks
And the city is my brain
My stomach is an ocean that swallows up the sun
At the end of a summer's day
My breath is a breeze that blows all those storm clouds away

Cold and frosty morning
There's not a lot to say
About the things caught in my mind
As the day was dawning
My plane flew away
With all the things caught in my mind

And I want to be there when youre...coming down
And I want to be there when you hit the ground
So don't go away
Say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day
In the time of my life
Cuz I need more time
Yes I need more time just to make things right

Well you're dirty and sweet
Clad in black, don't look back
And I love you
You're dirty sweet oh yeah
You're slim and you're weak
You've got the teeth of the hydra upon you
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on

Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Tell me now it's untrue.
What did her daddy do?
He jacked a little bitty baby
The man has got to be insane
They say the spell that he was under the lightning and the
thunder knew that someone had to stop the rain

Run away, run away from the pain yeah, yeah yeah yeah...

Come as you are, as you were
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend
As an old enemy
Take your time
Hurry up
The choice is yours
Don't be late
Take a rest
As a friend
As an old...

Memoria (x4)

Come, doused in mud
Soaked in bleach
As i want you to be
As a trend, as a friend
as an old...

And i swear that i don't have a gun
No i don't have a gun
No i don't have a gun

this old world may never change
where it's been
and all the ways of war
can't change it back again

ive been searchin for the dolphins in the sea
and sometimes i wonder
do you ever think of me?

sometimes i think about
saturday's child
and all about the times
when we were runnin wild

ive been searchin for the dolphins in the sea
and sometimes i wonder
do you ever think of me?

im not the one to tell this world
how to get along
only know that peace will come
when all hate is gone

Now the party don't start 'til I walk in
And I usually don't leave until the thing end
But in the meantime
In between times
You work your thing
I'll work mine
I've been putting it down since '83
Since the late show MD rivalry
More froze than that ice, with a place to be
If you was riding, you was bumping your homie Shadie
I'm the MVP, most volatile player
Make my own rules, b**** call me the mayor
Monday night, gentlemen's club
Tuesday night, I'm in the velvet room getting f***** up
Wednesday, I'm at strokers on lean
Thursday I jump clean, and I fall up in cream
Friday, shark bar with Frank Skeem, right on the floor is where you can find me
Saturday, is off the heezy fo' sheezy--You can find me up in one tweezy
Sunday, is when I get my sleep in
Cuz on Monday we be at it again, holla!

Friday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said I'm sorry
Sunday came you trashed me out again
I was only having fun
Wasn't hurting anyone
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change

Every morning there's a halo hanging from the corner of my girlfriend's four post bed
I know it's not mine but I'll see if I can use it for a weekend or a one-night stand
Couldn't understand...how to work it out
Once again, as predicted, left my broken heart open and you ripped it out

Something's got me reelin', it stopped believin'
Turn me around again
Said that we can do it, you know I wanna do it again

We writhed under a red light

A girl at the window looks at me for an hour
Then everything falls apart
Broken inside me
It falls apart

and i followed her to the station
with a suitcase in my hand.
i followed her down to the station
with a suitcase in my hand.
it's hard to tell so hard to tell
when all your loves in vain

when the train pulled in the station
she looked me in the eye.
the train pulled in the station
and she looked me in my eye.
i felt so bad i felt so bad,
i could not help but cry.

when the train pulled out the station
there was two lights on behind.

the red light was my baby

I'm packin' up my old suitcases
To go see old familiar faces
Give me blue skies
And sunny Texas weather.

I crave the smell of good ole saddle leather
I've got Texas in my heart
I've got a lotta friends in Amarrilo
I like Dallas, Forth Worth, Houston, San Antone.

Got a pinin' in my heart to be in Texas
I've said I'll wind up makin' it my home
I'm packin' up my old suitcases
To go see old familiar faces.

The Lone Star State
Has won my heart doggone it
And long horn steak with lots of ketchup on it
I've got Texas in my heart.

while ridin through the lone star state
i lost my lunch before i ate,
it happened in a honky-tonk café.
i felt my bones begin to crunch
i saw my name on the businessman’s lunch
and the neck who owned the place stepped up to say:
“hey buddy, are you blind,
say, partner, can’t you read the sign ?”


we reserve the right to refuse service to you,
take your business back to walgreen’s,
have you tried your local zoo ?
you smell just like a communist,
you come on  just like a jew,
we reserve the right to refuse service to you.


well, i walked on in to my house of god
congregation on the nod,
just chosen folks are doing their weekly thing.
hear, o israel, yes indeed,
my book was backwards, couldn’t read,
but i got a good rise when i heard that rabbi sing,
“boruch atoh adonoi,
what the hell are you doing back there, boy ?”


we reserve the right to refuse services to you,
your friends are all on welfare —
you call yourself a jew ?
you need your ticket and your tie
to zip your prayers on through,
we reserve the right to refuse services unto you.


well, it’s just my luck if god’s a texan
one big sombitchin’ anglo-saxon,
some crazy tall norwegian bore
just have my body shipped air-freight
from texas to the pearly gate
just ring the bell and leave me at the door.
i’ll be somewhere over jordan swinging low,
i’ll hear them tape-recorded angels in lifelike stereo


singing,
“we reserve the right to refuse service to you,
take your business back to walgreen’s,
have you tried your local zoo ?
our quota’s filled for this year
on singing texas jews,
we reserve the right to refuse service to you.

he was tryin' to create a next world war
he found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor
he said i never engaged in this kind of thing before
but yes i think it can be very easily done

uh oh, what to do what to do...I know! I'll post TWO verses, and next person can take their pick

The summer ends and we wonder who we are
And there you go my friends with your boxes in your car
And today I passed the high school, the river, the maple tree
I passed the farms that made it
Through the last days of the century
And I knew that I was going to learn again
Again, in this less hazy light
I saw the fields beyond the fields,
the fields beyond the fields
And the colors are much brighter now
It's like they really want to tell the truth
We give our testimony to the end of the summer
It's the end of the summer, you can spin the light to gold

"The End of Summer" - Dar Williams


Round the hangin tree
Swaying in the breeze
In the summer sun

I'm having so much fun with this game. It's music lyric trivia really. They should play this at bars like they do Quizzo. Drinks all around!

Do you see the way that tree bends?
Does it inspire?
Leaning out to catch the sun's rays
A lesson to be applied
are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip?
you can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
makes much more sense to live in the present tense
