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.

I see my faint reflection

You can find the answer
The solution lies within the problem
The answer is in every question
Dig it?
An attitude is all you need to rise and walk away
Inspire yourself
Your life is yours
It fits you like your skin

I've got a question if I may (yeah)
Is it gay
To play putt putt golf with a friend (yeah)
And watch his butt butt when he tees off (yeah)
But but I ain't done yet
In football the quarterback yells out hut hut while he reaches in another grown man's ass
Grabs on his nuts but just what if
It was never meant
It was just an accident

What would you do if I sang out tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Hmm, I get high with a little high from my friends
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say don't let anybody get in your way
Cuz it's just too much for me to take
Don't ever stand aside
Don't ever be denied
You gotta be who you be if you're coming with me
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I wanna take me away and hide
I think of things that I just can't describe

I know the roads down which your life will drive
I found the key that lets you slip inside
Kiss the girl she's right behind the door
You know I think I recognize your face, but I've never seen you before

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light you see
Well, I won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand by me

all hands on deck, we've run afloat
i heard the captain cry.
explore the ship ...
replace the cook,
let no one leave alive


across the straits
around the horn
how far can sailors fly?
a twisted path, our tortured course
and no one left alive


we sailed for parts unknown to man
where ships come home to die
no lofty peak 
nor fortress bold
could match our captain's eye


upon the seventh seasick day
we made our port of call
the sand so white
and sea so blue
no mortal place at all


 we fired the gun and burned the mast
 and rowed from ship to shore
 the captain cried,
 we sailors wept
 our tears were tears of joy


now many moons and many junes
have passed since we made land
a salty dog,
this seaman's log
your witness my own hand


a salty dog- procol harum

This ship is going where it wants
Attraction is never a factor
The earth is the source
And the stars set the course
By compass and protractor

But now my attention's pulled in another direction
Some receptionist at the Source who answers phones at his desk has an erection for me and thinks that I'll be his resurrection
Tries to blow the dust of his mic and make a new record
But now he's f***** the game up cuz one of the ways I came up
Was through that publication the same one that made me famous

Today seems like a good day to burn a bridge or two
The one with old wood creaking that would burn away right on cue
I try to be not like that but some people really suck
Some people need to get the axing chalk it up to bad luck
I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
She's always running from something so many things ignored
I might do that stuff if it didn't make me feel like shit
I'm on some old reality tip so many trips in it
Beautiful disaster
Flyin' down the street again
I tried to keep up
You wore me out and left me ate up
Now I wish you all the luck
You're a butterfly in the wind without a care
A pretty train crash to me and I can't care
I do I don't whatever
I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
She's always running from something so many things ignored
I try to be not like this but I thought it'd make a good song
There's nothing to see shows over people just move along

Try as I might I can't write a sad song
Now the world feels so new
This sounds so sad 'cause its in a minor key
But its my way of tricking you

Cause how can I feel this sad
When I'm flying so high
I can't hide my feelings
I won't make the lyrics lie
This is a happy song, poorly disguised
This is a happy song, poorly disguised
And there is only one reason
I can see from my point of view and that is you

Have I doubt, baby, when I'm alone
Love is a ring on the telephone
Love is an angel, disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes

Got your tape and it changed my mind
Heard your voice in between the lines
Come around from another time

And these times are so hard and it’s getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter, caught up between bein a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama’s screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I’m like a snail
I’ve got to formulate a plot before I end up in jail or shot

She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too
It's a long day living in Reseda
There's a freeway runnin'
through the yard
And I'm a bad boy cos I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart
And I'm Free, free fallin
Yeah I'm Free, Free fallin'

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I were to say to you
Girl, you couldn't get any higher

Come on baby, light my fire

I've been a bad, bad girl.
I've been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad, sad world
When a girl breaks a boy just because she can

While you make pretty speeches
I'm being cut to shreds
You feed me to the lions
