New game: Lyrics Chain

[Thianne]

linked word = parade

You had a good time
Drinking all of our wine
After the show
We all rode the wave
Of that crazy parade
Oh, where'd you go
What happened to
The ones we knew
As long as I'm the shiniest star
Oh, there you are

Farewell to old friends
Let's raise a glass to the bitter end
Farewell to old friends
We'll still be here when you come round again

Bitter end, by the Dixie Chicks

[noho]

Linked word = wine

I'm gonna ruin my black mascara
You're drinking whiskey when it should be wine
You keep on looking into that mirror
But to me you're looking really fine

I don't hardly know you
But I'd be willing to show you
I know a way to make you
Laugh at that cowgirl as she's walking out your door
I know a way to make you smile


"Let Me Touch You For Awhile" - Alison Krauss + Union Station

[Smilis]

Linked word = know

It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Wind beneath my wings - Bette Midler

[watty]

linked word = nothing

This is nothing new to me
It takes more than what you got
To frighten me
I'm not scared of you
There's nothing you can do
Or take from me

Untouchable
You think you're untouchable
You know
No one's untouchable


"Untouchable" -- Garbage

linked word = new

Time for beer
Chequered cheer
Now you're here
I can see so clearly
No more question marks
Sympathy cards
It's in the stars
Troubled times are clearing

Now it's recovery
Looks like it's gonna be
Okay
It's a new day
Recovery
Looks like it's gonna be
Okay
It's a new day

I was wrong
You were right
Gotta stop
Feeling like it's never ending
We could go
Check out the show

Recovery by New Buffalo

[Smilis]

Linked word =cards

The fortune queen of New Orleans,
Was brushing her cat in her black limousine
On the backseat were scratches from
The marks of men her fortune she had won
Couldn't see through the tinted glass,
She said "Home James" and he hit the gas
I Followed her to some darkened room,
She took my money, she said "I'll be with you soon"

Dark Lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music till her brew was done
Dark Lady played back magic till the clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me than I knew myself

She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
And mumbled some words that were so strange to me
Then she turned up a two-eyed jack,
My eyes saw red but the card still stayed black
She said the man you love is secretly true
To someone else who is very close to you
My advice is that you leave this place,
Never come back and forget you ever saw my face

Dark Lady - Cher

[NewRuthRising]

Linked word = danced

ALL OF YOUR LIFE NOW
YOU HAVE DENIED
THERE'D BE A TIME
WHEN YOU'D EVER DIE
STILL IT'S BEEN RUMORED THIS THING MUST BE

WHY IS IT THEN THAT YOU ACT SURPRISED
WHEN I APPEAR NOW TO BE YOUR GUIDE
WHY DO YOU HESITATE TO FOLLOW ME

SEE IT RISING
STARE AND WONDER

FEEL IT HOLD YOU
TAKE YOU UNDER
I'M YOUR GOD OF SECOND CHANCE

AND NOW YOU CLAIM YOU ARE NOT PREPARED
SO MUCH TO DO YOU CAN NOT BE SPARED
STILL YOUR ENTREATIES DEATH WILL NOT HEAR

THE GRAVEYARD IS FILLED WITH IMPORTANT MEN
WHO COULD NOT BE SPARED BUT WERE IN THE END
AND SO I WHISPER NOW IN YOUR EAR

SEE IT RISING
STARE AND WONDER
HEAR IT BECKON
YOU TO DANCE

FEEL IT HOLD YOU
TAKE YOU UNDER
I'M YOUR GOD OF SECOND CHANCE

Linked word = time

We have all the time in the world.
Time enough for life to unfold
All the precious things love has in store.

We have all the love in the world.
If that's all we have you will find
We need nothing more.

Every step of the way will find us
With the cares of the world far behind us.

We have all the time in the world just for love.
Nothing more, nothing less, only love.

Every step of the way will find us
With the cares of the world far behind us.

Yes, we have all the time in the world just for love.
Nothing more, nothing less, only love.
Only love.

We Have all the Time in the World-Louis Armstrong

Linked word = enough

All the stars may shine bright
All the clouds may be white
But when you smile
Oh how I feel so good
That I can hardly wait
To hold you
Enfold you
Never enough
Render your heart to me


"All Mine" - Portishead

[Smilis]

Linked word = heart

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
Feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
Woh, and then for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
The words are comin' from my heart
And then if you can remember

Thats what friends are for - Dionne Warwick

[Uzu]

Linked word = bad

I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin.
I see bad times today.

Chorus:
Dont go around tonight,
Well, its bound to take your life,
Theres a bad moon on the rise.

I hear hurricanes ablowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

Chorus:
Dont go around tonight,
Well, its bound to take your life,
Theres a bad moon on the rise.

Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like were in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.

Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival

linked word = life

coin operated boy
sitting on the shelf he is just a toy
but i turn him on and he comes to life
automatic joy
that is why i want a coin operated boy

made of plastic and elastic
he is rugged and long-lasting
who could ever ever ask for more
love without complications galore
many shapes and weights to choose from
i will never leave my bedroom
i will never cry at night again
wrap my arms around him and pretend....


"Coin-operated boy" -- Dresden Dolls
[br]

[noho]

Linked word = shelf

When I was a little girl
With clay horses and lambs on the shelf
I caught frogs in ditches, listened for elves
My friends and I had a world unto ourselves
No grownups could find us when we
Made our plans so secretly
To run away and fly to be
With the two birds of paradise


"Birds of Paradise" - Pretenders

[meretricious]

linked word + world

You are the light in my dark world
You are the fire that will always burn
You are the light, you are the light
You are the light in my dark world

Oh how you shine, in my hour of darkness
Oh how you shine, when everything is hopeless
You know how to help me, when i can't stand on my own
Don't let go now


"You are the light" - Maria McKee

[Foomatic]

linked words = in my hour of darkness

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let It Be, The Beatles

[Uzu]

Linked word = trouble

Uh-Oh, We're In Trouble,
Something's Come Along
And It's Burst Our Bubble
{Yeah, Yeah!} Uh-Oh,
We're In Trouble,

March On The Double!

We've Been Out All Night
And We Havn't Been Home,

[Knock yourself out]

linked word = don't

I brought this bottle here for you
Can't you drink it ?

I brought this body here for you
Don't you want it ?

Say goodbye
Kick her legs, kick her down

I bought this pocketknife for you
Don't you use it ?

I bought this ball and chain for you
Don't you wear it ?

Say Goodbye - Throwing Muses

[Uzu]

Linked words = ball and chain

Well the sound of your voice on the telephone
Make me feel distressed
Make me all alone.
Why do I feel so incomplete?
When you're not here I'm just obsolete.

My bed is burnin' all through the night.
You're the only one that can make me feel right.
Try to lay down my sleepin' head
But I'm tossin' and turnin' around instead.

I love you like a ball and chain.
(Make it alright now.)
Love you like a ball and chain.
(Feels too good.)

I'm a fool I know but I'm stuck on you.
I'm a fool I know and it's makin' me blue.
There's a river of blood.
There's a river of tears
I've been wasting all these years.

I Love You Like A Ball And Chain - Eurythmics

[watty]

linked word = alone

Standing by yourself.
High on the hills above the ocean.
This is where you'd come to walk with your friends.
Strange how it leaves you with no emotion.

You can't fight the undertow.
Not when you're all alone.
You can't fight the undertow.
How long 'til you let go?


"Undertow" -- Ivy
[br]

[hermitfish]

linked word = undertow

Way down in Memphis, down in the Mississippi
You could fall off of the world, slip off the road
Your body carried by the undertow
To the waiting river
To the Gulf of Mexico

Cameron Dezen - "Gulf of Mexico"

[Auriam]

linked word =Road


But long is the road
Hard is the way
Heavy my load
But deep is my faith
Long is the road

Sur des highway sixty one, l'ombre d'un Zimmerman
Dix trains de losers pour un Rockfeller
Brûler sa peau pour être un Battling Joe
Quand chaque espoir se décline en dollars


Road JJ Golman

[Uzu]

Linked word = long

She was born in november 1963
The day aldous huxley died
And her mama believed
That every man could be free
So her mama got high, high, high
And her daddy marched on Birmingham
Singing mighty protest songs
And he pictured all the places
That he knew that she belonged
But he failed and taught her young
The only thing she's need to carry on
He taught her how to

Run baby run baby run baby run
Baby run

Past the arms of the familiar
And their talk of better days
To the comfort of the strangers
Slipping out before they say
So long
Baby loves to run

She counts out all her money
In the taxi on the way to meet her plane
Stares hopeful out the window
At the workers fighting
Through the pouring rain
She's searching through the stations
For an unfamiliar song
And she's pictures all the places
Where she knows she still belongs
And she smiles the secret smile
Because she knows exactly how
To carry on

So run baby run baby run baby run
Baby run

From the old familiar faces and
Their old familiar ways
To the comfort of the strangers
Slipping out before they say
So long
Baby loves to run

Run Baby Run - Sheryl Crow

[Knock yourself out]

linked word = strangers

What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers
When you could be safe at home free from all dangers?

A recruiting sergeant came our way
To an inn nearby at the close of day,
He said "Young Johnny you're a fine young man
Would you like to march along behind a military band,
With a scarlet coat and a big cocked hat,
And a musket at your shoulder?"
The shilling he took and he kissed the book,
Oh poor Johnny what will happen to you?

Fighting for Strangers - Steeleye Span

[watty]

linked word = scarlet

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it … ah … out of sight.

Ya know when that shark bites, with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there’s nevah, nevah a trace of red.

Now on the sidewalk … uuh, huh … whoo … sunny mornin’ … uuh, huh
Lies a body just oozin' life … eeek!
And someone’s sneakin' ‘round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?


"Mack the knife" -- Bobby Darin, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and many others
[br]

[Uzu]

Linked word = red

Oh she move like the diva do
I said "I'd love to dance like you."
She said "just take off my red shoes
Put them on and your dream'll come true
With no words, with no song
You can dance the dream with your body on
And this curve, is your smile
And this cross, is your heart
And this line, is your path

Oh it's gonna be the way you always thought it would be
But it's gonna be no illusion
Oh it's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it
But it's gonna be really happening to ya
Really happening to ya
Really happening to ya"

Oh the minute I put them on
I knew I had done something wrong
All her gifts for the dance had gone
It's the red shoes, they can't stop dancing, dancing
And this curve, is your smile
And this cross, is your heart
And this line, is your path

The Red Shoes - Kate Bush

[Auriam]

Linked word =song


My gift is my song
And this one's for you
And you can tell everybody
That this is your song
It maybe quite simple
But now that it's done
Hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world

Sat on the roof
And I kicked off the moss
Well some of the verses well
They got me quite cross
But the sun's been kind
While I wrote this song
It's for people like you that
Keep it turned on

Moulin rouge your song (sorry feeling a little romantic )

[starcomed]

Linked word: simple

You're making resolutions and it isn't even New Year's
You could try a new religion, you could wait until the dust clears
Friends say you're way too choosy
Shrink says see you next week
Guru says control your breathing
You're afraid you might have peaked

There's nothing wrong with you
The simple life gets complicated
There's nothing you can do, just enjoy the view be glad you made it

Cuz things could be better, cuz things could be worse
Cuz life can be charmed and cursed
There's fast, slow and stall, no reverse

Artist: Mary Chapin Carpenter
Song Title: Simple Life

[Uzu]

Linked word = friends

Wondering if I am lost now
But finding my way back home and
Wondering if love is with me
And guiding my destiny

Wondering if we are true friends
That distance cannot destroy and
Wondering if you are lonely
While waiting for my return

Come, be one with me
Let us follow the path of light
Mystery seeks to be understood
Someday we'll find truth

Wondering just who I might be
Who I was and will become and
Wondering if I can move on
Move into the world above

Wondering - Donna Burke
