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.

In the evening sky
I see my faint reflection

When they look in my direction

Take your time
Don't undo
All the good you've already done
We're all defined
By who we are
Not by what we wish we'd become

Just sit back
Let it slide
Just relax
Enjoy the ride

And the streets they swell,
While the animals make their way through
the crowd.
If you keep Listening,
you can hear for miles.
Well I trust everyone,
Quicker with every Faint smile.

When I see you Smile,
I can face the world
Oh, you know I can do anything
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light
Oh, I see it shining
right through the rain...

The sun is up I'm so happy I could scream
And there's no where else in the world I'd rather be,
Than here with you it's perfect
It's all I ever wanted
Oh, I almost can't believe that it's for real
So kiss me quick

Mint Car - The Cure

Great game! I love, love, love lyrics. I could play this game on my own actually! (But won't for fear of how much of a sad loser that would make me:D)

She's a perfect 10, but she wears a 12
Baby keep a little 2 for me
She could be sweet 16, bustin' out at the seams
It's still love in the first degree.

No chance for contact
There's no raison d'etre
My only hope is one day I'll forget
The pain of knowing what can never be
With or without love it's all the same to me

I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love
I'll just pretend she never was real
I don't believe in love
I need to forget her face, I see it still
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel

If I should die this very moment,
I wouldn't fear
For I've never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you
Still my heart this moment
Or it might burst

Could we stay right here
Til the end of time
Til the earth stops turning
Wanna love you til the seas run dry
I've found the one
I've waited for...

Gorecki - by Lamb. One of my favourite songs ever.

I hope I'm old before I die
I hope I live to see the day the Pope gets high
I hope I'm old before I die
Well tonight I'm gonna live for today
So come along for the ride
I hope I'm old before I die

Well these are strange days we're living in today
C'est la vie I say, I say. I say

I need to live life
Like some people never will
So find me kindness
Find me beauty
Find me truth
When temptation brings me to
my knees
And I lay here drained of
strength
Show me kindness
Show me beauty
Show me truth

The world is a vampire
Sent to drain
Secret destroyers
Hold you up to the flames

And what do I get
For my pain?
Betrayed desires
And a piece of the game.

Even though I know
I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold
Like old Job

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

the winter here is cold and bitter
it's chilled us to the bone
we haven't seen the sun for weeks
to long too far from home

A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that i saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And i don't think i can look at this the same
But all these miles that seperate
Disappear now when i'm dreaming of your face

For the morning sun in all it’s glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter
And somehow you make it better
Ease my troubles that’s what you do
There’s a love that’s divine
And it’s yours and it’s mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one

You can surrender
Without a prayer
But never really pray
Pray without surrender

You can fight
Without ever winning
But never ever win
Without a fight

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all in the
Eye of the tiger

in this proud land we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

no fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
but no one wants you when you lose

don't give up
'cos you have friends
don't give up
you're not beaten yet
don't give up
I know you can make it good

though I saw it all around
never thought I could be affected
thought that we'd be the last to go
it is so strange the way things turn

drove the night toward my home
the place that I was born, on the lakeside
as daylight broke, I saw the earth
the trees had burned down to the ground
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up
we don't need much of anything
don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
where we belong

"Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush

They're raising banners over by the markets
Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls
Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown
No way our holy flag is gonna fall
Up here we sacrifice our children
To feed the worn-out dreams of yesterday
And teach them dying will lead us into glory...

Texas beat me to it,so here goes again....this is fun!

Buddy you’re a boy make a big noise
Playin’ in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on yo’ face
You big disgrace
Kickin’ your can all over the place
We will we will rock you

Outside in the hall there’s a catfight
It’s well after midnight
I guess I’ll be allright
I’m laid out on the floor
Drunk and ppor
How much longer how much more

Rock me to sleep
Strong & deep.
The screaming cats they give me the creep
But aside from all that I feel no pain
Staring up at the ceiling stains
...neon in the window
...sirens far away
...news on the radio happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday

They’re at it again next door
This whole floor I swear
They’re out to drive me crazy
Not right now I’m high as a cloud I’m soft and gray and lazy
...neon in the window
...sirens far away
...news on the radio happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday

Fly me
Out the window.
Somewhere far away
Singing on the radio

Because the world is round it turns me on
Because the world is round...

Because the wind is high it blows my mind
Because the wind is high...

Love is all, love is new
Love is all, love is you

Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue...

I look up at the sky
I am tired and dry
Uno tecate and lime.
Thinking of you underneath the mexican moonlight
Thinking of you underneath the mexican moon
Thinking of you underneath the mexican moonlight
Thinking of you underneath the mexican moon

I remember holdin on to you
All them long and lonely nights I put you through
Somewhere in there I'm sure I made you cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
CHORUS

But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
One place I may never go in my life again
Was I just off somewhere just too high
But I can't remember if we said goodbye

I only miss you here every now and then
Like the soft breeze blowin; up from the Caribbean
Most Novembers I break down and cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye

It is complete now, two ends of time all neatly tied up
A one way street, she's walking to the end of the line
And there she meets the face that she keeps in her heart and mind

They say goodbye
