A Forum Game--"Think of a Lyric"

Published on November 16, 2004 By BlueDev In Misc

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.

Floating high
In the evening sky
I see my faint reflection

Pale facsimile
Like what others see
When they look in my direction

Looking down the barrell of the gun,
son of a gun, son of a *****
getting paid, getting rich

"But you oughta thank me before I die,
for the gravel in your gut,
and the spit in your eye,
Cause I'm the son of bitch that named you Sue"

I am what I am, that's a tribal man.
We all know the colors, we all must stand.
As we start our travels, things they will unravel.
"Que sera sera", for this unit is like gravel.
Won't be gone for long, listen to the song.

I see your true colors shinning thru
I see your true colors, and that's why i love you
So dont be afraid to let them show
your true colors, true colors
True colors, are beautiful
Are beautiful, like a rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of,
dreams really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where
the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops,
that's where you'll find me

"Somewhere Over The Rainbow" by various artists

One day I'll fly away
Leave all this to yesterday.
What more could your love do for me?
When will life be through with me?

Why live life from dream to dream?
And dread the day, when dreaming ends.

-From the movie "Moulin Rouge"

Zipping through the forest with the curdling fleas
To grow with them spindles, the mutant I seize
I capture the dread beast who falls to his knees
And cries to his cohorts, asleep in the trees

I never asked, she never said,
and when she cried, I turned my head,
She dreamed her dreams, behind closed doors,
That made them easy to ignore,
I know I know, I missed the forest for the trees,
Now all I have to show,
When she walked out the door,
The cold facts and nothin' more...

i dreamed i saw st augustine
alive as you or me.
cutting through these quarters
in the utmost misery.
with a blanket underneath his arms
and a coat of solid gold
searching for the very souls
that already have been sold.

I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who uses a machete to cut through red tape
With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass
She is fast, thorough and sharp as a tack,
She is touring the facility and picking up slack
I want a girl with a short skirt and a looooooong,
loooooooooooooooooooooooooong jacket

Nope, no cheating Floozie, completely within the rules!

A step beyond the grave
Visions so insane
They opened the gates of hell

Calling, calling
Unholy light is calling
Faster, faster
Prelude for disaster
But no
Here's your prize
Oh yeah
They're unholy

"The Unholy" by Savatage

Ooooh, we're all someone's daughter
we're all someone's son
how looooooong can we look at each other
down the barrel of a gun

You're the voice try and understand it
make a noise and make it clear
woooooooooooooah woooooooooooooooooah

Spelunker - after reading your blog where you mentioned Lamb and Foo Fighters I am amazed at this choice!

Anyway

You feed the beast I have within me
You wave the red flag, baby you make it run run run
Standing on the sidelines, waving and grinning
You fondle my trigger, then you blame my gun
And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists
I never did anything to you, man
But no matter what I try
You'll beat me with your bitter lies
So call me crazy, hold me down
Make me cry; get off now, baby-
It won't be long till you'll be
Lying limp in your own hand

'Limp' - Fiona Apple

sold you my therapy
You can suss it out
Bought a new enemy
She can smoke this doubt
Every disgrace already made
Every word tasting bitter and betrayed
Looking for lies
Sympathy fuck

Sold You an Alibi

Floozie - Aww, you can't knock classic Farnsey! Anyways, here's something a bit more interesting:

I looked up, and I saw the moon
It's in the same one that betrayed you
I looked up, and I saw my place
I looked in, and I felt no hate

Mmm, where do I put the love?
Oh, where do I put the love?
Yeah, where do I put the love?
