New game: Lyrics Chain

[noho]

Linked word = machine

We touched there was temperature
I'm not the same
Now I'm passing through your door
It's a pleasure game
You're the object of of my smile
I'm a life machine
Sentimental sound on sound
Time to switch the scene
You're the passion in me
You've broken down the system
You're the vision I see
A pleasure victim


"Pleasure Victim" - Berlin

[meretricious]

linked words = through your door

She said something like i want to go
down where the rivers wild
he said, take me then i want to drown
deep in your violent eyes

(feel the river rise again, call the river by your name)

i want to float in through your door
hang it on the wall, hang it all,
but i want to be sure of one thing
that i'm getting into something peaceful
i want to fly in on your wing

Allison Moyet- falling

[EasierSaid]

linked word - float

I got out of bed today, swear to God I couldn't see my face
I got out of bed today staring at a ghost, who forgot to float away
Didn't have all that much to say, wouldn't even tell me his own name
Where'd my body go, where oh where'd my body go?
Africa or Mexico?
Where or where'd my body go, where'd my body go?
Oh, have you seen my ghost, seen my ghost, seen my ghost?
Oh, have you seen my ghost staring at the ground?

"Weighty Ghost" Wintersleep

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = ghost

I feel like a ghost who's trying to move your hands
Over some Ouija board in the hopes I can spell out my name.

What some take for magic at first glance
Is just sleight of hand, depending on what you believe.
Something gets lost when you translate.
It's hard to keep straight.
Perspective is everything.

"Invisible Ink," Aimee Mann

[watty]

linked word = magic

Just as you take my hand
Just as you write my number down
Just as the drinks arrive
Just as they play your favourite song
As your magic disappears
No longer wound up like a spring
Before you've had too much
Come back and focus again


"Jigsaw falling into Place" -- Radiohead
[br]

[hermitfish]

linked word =drinks

Don't mix your drinks
Don't mix with him.
It will kill you one day.
Good advice. Sound advice.
You need to be like him, like me.
Look what you could achieve.
I'm coming cap-in-hand.
Begging you to listen
Something draws me in
I just can't christen it.

Elbow - "Don't Mix Your Drinks"

[meretricious]

linked word = good

last night there was a horse in the road
i was twisting in the hairpin
my hands held on, my mind let go
and back to you my heart went skipping

i found the inside of the road
thought about the first time that i met you
all those glances that we stole
sometimes if you want them then you've got to

babe we've both had dry spells,
hard times in bad lands
i'm a good man, for ya', i'm a good man

Josh Ritter, "good man"

[EasierSaid]

linked word - mind

It keeps you up
From the back of your mind
To the tip of your tongue
Reaching out lookin' for mine

I'll be your cigarette
Light me up and get on with it
I'll be hard to forget
Good or bad I'm just a habit
Good or bad I'm just your habit

"Cigarette" Jeremy Fisher

[noho]

Linked word = tongue

The language of love
Slips from my lovers tongue
Cooler than ice cream
And warmer than the sun
Dumb hearts get broken
Just like china cups
The language of love
Has left me broken on the rocks


"Who's That Girl?" - Eurythmics

[Smilis]

Linked word love

"I don't think I know you,
don't think I ever will.
Am I in love with you,
Well I don't know still.
It may sound strange but I'm warning you
I may not be that nice.

Maybe baby I'm a heartbreaker
heart breaker
heart of ice

But I'm burnin'
burnin'
'cause you set my soul on fire.
Girl, I don't know what I'll do.

'Cause I'm burnin'
I'm burnin'
I'm burnin' with desire.
Yes I'm burnin' and it's all because of you."

"Burni'n" - Cue

[hermitfish]

linked words = fire, desire

You're a wrong turn
a big fat No
you're the fifth drink before a long drive home
you're the thing to avoid
the bars to my cage
you're all I think about everyday
you've got that thing
that my wildest dreams are made of
you set my world on fire

I die everytime you walk by
I can't hide that I'm drawn to you
Desire is such a wicked little high
when the one you want is blind to you

Bird York - "Wicked Little High"

[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: blind

I could have a long happy affair with you
What a spell, oh well, I don't dare to
'Cause it would make me go blind
Everybody goes blind, everybody goes blind
Sometimes

"Blind" - the Nields

[Knock yourself out]

Linked word dare:

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence

"The Sounds of Silence" (written by Paul Simon)

[noho]

Linked word = naked

That’s all you wanted
Something special someone sacred
In your life
Just for one moment
To be warm and naked
At my side
Sometimes I think that you’ll never
Understand me
But something tells me together
We’d be happy


"Father Figure" - George Michael

[Foomatic]

linked phrase = "be happy"

You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go

And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head

Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur


You Could Be Happy, Snow Patrol

[hermitfish]

linked word = said

One man died from a heart attack
Next man died from a shot to the back
Next man took his own life, well it was worse
So we put him in a coffin under the earth

And we placed a headstone on the grave
Rest in peace man that's what we said
Oh, god, that's what we said

The living dead
Yes, the living dead (x 4)

It's them zombies
Why won't you die?
Zombies
I'm gonna try and I'll try

Can't Hang - "Zombies"

[meretricious]

linked word = god


Then you came round
while I was walkin on the wire
stood there underneath me
and you saved me from the fire
and god might be the king
in the land of the free
but you're the blessed saviour
you're the one I need

open up the up the sky, all gather around
praise the lord and take a look at what i found
gotta love thats as big as raging storm
I got walls coming down that I need no more
I got a sign on the door that says
lonely don't live here anymore

Kasey Chambers "sign on the door"

[EasierSaid]

linked word - fire

I was raking leaves in my own backyard
Putting them in piles and burning ‘em up
The flames got higher, they were out of control
I was hosing ‘em down when the cops showed up

It was extraordinary
Extraordinary
Now and then I must aspire
To go out of the ordinary
And set the world on fire

"Extraordinary" - Joel Plaskett Emergency

[truck_driving_magic_mama]

link word: Extraordinary


If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

I seem to you to seek a new disaster every day
You deem me due to clean my view and be at peace and lay
I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way, and say,
I've been getting along for long before you came into the play


( Extraordinary Machine by Fiona Apple)[/quote]

[tarawhipped]

Linked word = road

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land.
And don't criticize
What you can't understand.
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command.
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand.
For the times they are a-changin'.

ob Dylan, "The Times They Are A-Changin'"

[watty]

linked words = sons, daughters

Sheep to the slaughter oh I thought this must be love
All your sons and daughters in a stranglehold with a kid glove
She's got eyes like saucers oh you think she's a dish
She is the blue chip that belongs to the big fish

But it's easier to say I love you
than yours sincerely I suppose
All little sisters like to try on big sister's clothes
Big sister's clothes


"Big sister's clothes" -- Elvis Costello
[br]

[willowphile]

linked word = eyes

Give me your eyes
I need sunshine
Give me your eyes
I need sunshine
Your blood, your bones, your voice and your ghost

We've both been very brave
Walk around with both legs
Fight the scary day
We both pull the tricks out of our sleeves
but I'll believe in anything and you'll believe in anything


"I'll Believe In Anything" - Wolf Parade

[singgirl]

linked word = blood

Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above
Awaiting the hour of reprisal Your time slips away
Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure
Now I shall reign in blood!

Raining Blood - Slayer

[noho]

Linked word = time

Clock is ticking while I'm killing time
Spinning all around
Nothing else that you can do to turn it back
Wicked partnership in this crime
Ripping off the best condescending smile
Trying to forget (wasting my time)
We're falling right through
Lying to forget (telling more lies)
We're raising our truth
Come and tease me


"Our Truth" - Lacuna Coil

[hermitfish]

linked word = falling

When I'm falling, the time becomes easy
And when I'm found, I'll be more sane than I ever been (x 2)
Crazy times running through my head
Crazy thoughts running through my head

It's okay cause I'll find a way
I'll find a mellow day

Lisa Dewey & The Lotus Life - "Mellow Day"

[Yours]

Linked word - Okay

Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
The strength is my mother, for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake, I look back at yesterday
And I'm Okay

[Yours]

Christina Aguilera - 'I'm Okay'

[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: remember

I remember the nights I watched as you lay sleeping
Your body gripped by some far away dream
Well I was so scared and so in love then
And so lost in all of you that I had seen

"I Will Not Forget You" - Sarah Mclachlan

[hermitfish]

linked words = remember the nights

Street corner stands in shade
Lanterns swing in the heat of day
Old lady sings the song that I can't forget
Little girl that asked you who
Collects the flowers they give to you
Her eyes, her dress, the sky
The blue that you can't forget

I can't go back, but I can't stay
Help me
Remember the nights with you

Motels - "Remember the Nights"

[Yours]

Linked word - Eyes

You've got, the most unbelievable
blue eyes I've ever seen
You've got, me almost melting away
As we lay there, under a blue sky
with pure white stars
Exotic sweetness, a magical time

Donna Lewis - I love you always forever
