A Forum Game--"Think of a Lyric"

from JoeUser Forums
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 can be happy when I'm sad
I can be good when I am bad
You know its true
I can laugh and I can cry
I can make you wonder why I do
The things I do, woah"

Did you get my other letters
Sometimes I think I oughta call
Cause you know I often wonder
if you open them at all
Every couple nights or so
You know you pop into my dreams
I just can't get rid of you
Like you got rid of me

I saw the news today, oh, boy
Four-thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I’d love to turn you on...

I ain't never seen anything like this in my life before
People still camped out from the night before
Sleeping outside the door waiting in line
Still trying to get inside the club to see D12 perform
The fire marshalls know, the venue's too small
People are wall to wall, three thousand and some odd vans
And then some idiot from out the parking lot
Get into an argument over a parking spot
He's about to pull his gun out and let a few of them off
Missed who he's aimin for, six feet away's the door
In St. Andrew's Hall now a stray slidin all over the place
Sprays one girl in the face, another one of 'em came through the wall
Before anyone could even hear the first shot go off
I'm posted up by the bar having a Mazel Tov
Bullet wizzed right by my ear damn near shot it off

We're in one of the richest countries in the world,
but the minimum wage is lower than it was thirty five years ago.
There are homeless people everywhere.
This homeless guy asked me for money the other day.
I was about to give it to him and then I thought he was going to use it on drugs or alcohol.
And then I thought, that's what I'm going to use it on.
Why am I judging this poor bastard.
People love to judge homeless guys. Like if you give them money they're just going to waste it.
Well, he lives in a box, what do you want him to do? Save it up and buy a wall unit?
Take a little run to the store for a throw rug and a CD rack? He's homeless.
I walked behind this guy the other day.
A homeless guy asked him for money.
He looks right at the homeless guy and says why don't you go get a job you bum.
People always say that to homeless guys like it is so easy.
This homeless guy was wearing his underwear outside his pants.
Outside his pants. I'm guessing his resume isn't all up to date.
I'm predicting some problems during the interview process.
I'm pretty sure even McDonalds has a "underwear goes inside the pants" policy.
Not that they enforce it really strictly, but technically I'm sure it is on the books.

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn.
Got roads to drive.

Yeah, fever that begins to burn,
I said fever that begins to burn,

You give me fever,
when you kiss me,
fever when you hold me tight,
Fever, in the morning,
fever all through the night,
you give me fever

I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers
Laid entwined together on a bed of clover
Left there to sleep
Left there to dream of their happiness

I Believe in you and me
I believe that we will be
In love eternally
Well as far as I can see
You will always be the one...
For me

Oh yes you will

And I believe in Dreams again
I believe that love will never end
And like the river finds the sea
I was lost, now I'm free
Cause I believe in you and me

you take my hand,
i'll take your hand
together we may get away
this much madness
is too much sorrow
it's impossible
to make it today.


yeah, she could drag me
over the rainbow,
and send me away
down by the river
i shot my baby
down by the river,
dead, oh, shot her dead

Oh yeah, I’ll tell you something,
I think you’ll understand,
Then I’ll say that something,
I wanna hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand.
Oh please say to me
You’ll let me be your man,
And please say to me,
You’ll let me hold your hand,
Now let me hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand.
And when I touch you
I feel happy inside,
It’s such a feeling
That my love I can’t hide,
I can’t hide, I can’t hide.
Yeh, you got that something,
I think you’ll understand,
When I feel that something,
I wanna hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand.

this is my lovers prayer
i hope it'll reach out to you, my love
this is my lovers prayer
and i hope you can understand it, my love


my life is such a weary thing
but in my ears, old prayers just ring and ring
you keep me wanting, waiting and wishing
when i know deep down that i'm not to blame


what you gonna do tonight
when you need some loving arms to hold you tight
what you gonna do tonight
when you need my tender voice to tell you good night


honey but you can't let that be no problem
you got to come home and help me solve em
then i won't be missing you
and honey, my lovers prayer would be all over

Just like a prayer
Your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me
You are a mystery
Just like a dream
You are not what you seem
Just like a prayer
No choice
Your voice can take me there

Hate the way that you've taken back, everything you've given to me
And the way that you'd always say, it's nothing to do with me
Different versions of many men, come before you came
All their questions was similar, the answer just the same

I'm gonna get me a motor car, maybe a Jaguar, maybe a plane or a day of fame
I wanna be a millionare, so can you take me there, wanna be wild cuz my life's so tame
Here am I, going nowhere on a train
Here am I, getting older in the rain

On the corner is a banker with a motorcar,
The little children laugh at him behind his back.
And the banker never wears a mack
In the pouring rain, very strange.

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
