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

Like what others see
When they look in my direction

Vows are spoken
to be broken
FEELINGS are intense
words are trivial
Pleasure remains
so does the pain
words are meaningless
and forgettable

"Enjoy the Silence" Depech mode
If this ones been used already, sorry, it's the only one I could think of.

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open views inviting and inciting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
Million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

"Across the Universe" by The Beatles

It's not too late if you take a look around you
Well there's got to be an answer
Now I aint playing your fool
Oooh so just give me what Im after
Cause when all I see is pain
In a world full of lies,
I wish that I could never see a damn thing
Through These Eyes
No, no, no
God in Heaven
Dont waste your-
Waste your time on me
Cause Im too far gone and I dont need sympathy, no no
GOD in Heaven
Let me tell you WHY
I've grown so cold
It's the things that I've seen..
Through these eyes...

Sip your tequila. give me some time
To unlearn all I’ve learned for the
Spring to unwind
And then came your sweet mouth
I began to move mine.
They knew with the dawn-
They knew with the day
They knew what they had
Would be young naked prey
And attacked from all sides
By a world filled with
Poison and hate

It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

Mad over you, mad over me, an analogy
Baby taking up up all of my stationary
Sitting in my daycare, mediocre painted
Colliding with the jam
Until the drink got dated

A stones's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And though a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I'm lost without you I'm lost without you
Though all the kingdoms turn to sand
And fall into the sea
I'm mad about you I'm mad about you

Sting - Mad about you

You've gotta be
Cruel to be kind in the right measure,
Cruel to be kind it's a very good sign,
Cruel to be kind means that I love you,
Baby, you've gotta be cruel to be kind.

Nick Lowe - Cruel to be Kind

(For some reason I thought this song was by Cheap Trick, but when I googled to get the lyrics right, I found I was wrong about the artist)

I need you to need me

(chiprj - I knew that song as Letters To Cleo and the 10 things I hate about you movie/soundtrack Oh and dynamaso same band and same movie - gee now I feel young instead of the usual old)

With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
what you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Bed of Roses - Bon Jovi (WANT)

You could say this was an independent love song
It's nothing like to us what love meant to them
But, that's not to say the love we have isn't big or that strong
I'm doing it a different way
I'm doing it a different way
You might say this another boring love song
To be together and forever be true
And so today it's much the same as it was then
I'm doing it a different way
I'm doing it a different way
I'll show you how to take me
Go down go down
And I'll show you how to turn me
Right on right on
And I'll show you how to touch me
Right on right on right on
Right on right on right on

Better get my head down there
Oh where?
Down there in that cavern where heaven grows..."

PS - maybe I'm showing my age, but I only knew Cruel To Be Kind as a Nick Lowe song - I didn't know Cheap Trick has covered it.

...Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna look you right in the face
Better get yourself together darlin'
Join the human race
How in the world you gonna see
Laughin' at fools like me
Who in the hell d'you think you are
A super star

Well, Right you are

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on

"There's a for-sale sign in the sky
The economy class seating has all gone
There's all sorts of weird things landing by
The politicians admit they're wrong
There's a new glow to the moonlight
It's an iradiated hue
And might I say my dear,
The colour looks good on you"

Because when the smack begins to flow
I really don't care anymore
About all the Jim-Jim's in this town
And all the politicians making crazy sounds
And everybody putting everybody else down
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds

"Heroin" - Velvet Underground (one of my favorite songs- if you haven't listened to it yet, do it now!)
(also, usually I try to choose the hardest word, but I can't think of a single song with any variation of the word "irradiated" in it off the top of my head!)

Freezin’, rests his head on a pillow made of concrete,again
Oh, feelin’ maybe he’ll see a little better set a days, ooh yeah
Oh, hand out, faces that he sees time again ain’t that familiar, ooh yeah
Oh, dark grin, he can’t help, when he’s happy looks insane, oh yeah

Oh, he don’t know, so he chases them away, yeah...ooh...
Oh, someday yet, he’ll begin his life again...life again...life again...

Fox - a tough one, for sure, but here goes:

"In the cool of the evening when everything is getting kind of groovy
I call you up and ask you if you'd like to go with me and see a movie
First you say no, you've got some plans for the night
Then you stop and say alright
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little girl like you
