New game: Lyrics Chain

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = time

Time, time, time, see what’s become of me
While I looked around
For my possibilities
I was so hard to please
But look around, leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hear the salvation army band
Down by the riverside, it’s bound to be a better ride
Than what you’ve got planned
Carry your cup in your hand
And look around, leaves are brown now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hazy Shade of Winter - a bunch of people, but I'll go with The Bangles, 'cos they're cuter.

[hermitfish]

linked word = grey

So it's grey, well so are my favorite cities
And the sky on such a memorable night
And we have, we have all the time in the world here
That's a lie, that's a lie...

Azure Ray - "Favorite Cities"

[DscoAkane]

linked word - sky

To show approval I shake my head
I can't agree to be hollow
Her hairs got longer you said
Now that's thought I could follow

I know that the paybacks are hell
My pockets are full and heavy
Something strange has been left in my hands
It's not your heart you were giving
What was it?

I said it
I meant it
I'm here to represent it

There's a big blue sky
Big Fat Lie
There's a big blue sky
Big Fat Lie

Pee Shy - "Big Blue Sky"

[watty]

linked word = heavy

I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy but nothing is
Whoo hoo

When I feel heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well I lie and I'm easy
All of the time I am never sure
Why I need you
Pleased to meet you


"Song 2", Blur

[Foomatic]

linked words = I'm easy

Know it sounds funny, But I just can't stand the pain
Girl I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl, You know I've done all I can
You see I begged, stole, And I borrowed

Ooh, that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
Why in the world, Would anybody put chains on me?
I've paid my dues to make it
Everybody wants me to be, What they want me to be
I'm not happy when I try to fake it!


Easy, Lionel Ritchie

[hermitfish]

linked words = pain, morning

I wanna sit and talk and laugh with you as the day ends
I wanna see your smiling face before the new day begins
You'll never know what it means
To see the sunlight in your hair and dancing everywhere

I wanna shout about it
But I keep quiet about it
I wanna laugh about it
But I don't joke about it
I wanna live without it
But I can't do without it

I'm someone's daughter
Are your somebody's son?
Can I ease your pain till the morning comes
I'm no one's daughter
I belong to the sun
Gonna ease your pain till the morning comes

Beth Orton - "Someone's Daughter"

[Artemis]

Linked word = daughter

And I'm a siren; I'll wreck you on my shores
And I'm Godiva; I'll call you back for more
And I'm Medusa; and I'm your favourite doll
And I'm a Georgia O'Keefe hanging on your wall
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl

I'm Joan of Arc, I'm the girl next door
I'm the mother and the daughter
of the mother and the daughter before

Heather Nova, "I'm The Girl"

[watty]

linked word = wreck

It began in May, with a train wreck in Virginia;
A boxcar overturned and burst into flame.
A dark cloud formed made of hydrogen dioxide.
A Spotomatic Freeze was born that day.

Woah, woah; Spotomatic Freeze

Then it went South and it covered up Atlanta -
It rained toxic hail there for days.
Then it got smart, and it headed North to Washington;
Brought the whole damn country to its knees.

Woah, woah; Spotomatic Freeze


"Spotomatic Freeze", We are Scientists

[DscoAkane]

linked word - Virginia

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place, I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads

John Denver - "Country Roads"

[Aiwe]

Linked word = heaven

Faster than the speeding light she's flying
Trying to remember where it all began
She's got herself a little piece of heaven
Waiting for the time when Earth shall be as one

Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light

-Madonna - Ray of Light

[abtotallyrules]

Linked words - me, down, drag, your

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And its all in my head
And she's touching his - chest
Now he takes off her dress
Now let me go
I just can't look its killing me
And taking control
JEalousy turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But its just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
Cos I'm Mr Brightside


The Killers, Mr. Brightside

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=jealousy

Tell me do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight.
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
And anyway I've got no place to go.
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had.
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone.
Tomorrow we can drive around this town,
And let the cops chase us around.
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place.... Hey Jealousy

Gin Blossoms- Hey Jealousy

[Artemis]

Linked word = drive & driving (woo-hoo conjugation)

I'm driving out of control
You said something, hurt me real bad
And I'll drive 'til I feel better and I'll play my radio
My radio real loud
And I'll keep driving
'Til I drive outta these clouds

I'm flying, just trying to keep the wind behind me
'Cause I said I'd never let you get to me
No you'll never make me blue again
And now I'm finally off the ground
I'll keep flying
'Til I fly outta these clouds

Alisha's Attic, "Outta These Clouds"

[Emms]

Linked word: Radio

out of this corn I grow
I cut it all for you
I took a hatchet to the radio
I did it all for you
well you could of written back
you could have said thank you

I guess you got better things
I guess you got better things to do

Just say you love me
is that the truth
although they've heard the songs
my friends need living proof

Bare Naked Ladies -- I am the farmer ( I don't know if the is the exact title of the song...I'm just guessin' here. Sorry. )

[the hero factor]

Linked word = written

Well it's not alright,
It seems so bulletproof.
With fogged up windows
That you can't see through.
The chance to take
Is right here in my hands.
But I gotta get this out of my mind.

So I've written it off
And still find some need to be there
It's something I have missed.
Nine lives looking up
But still landing on all fours
And crawling back to here.

"Written it Off" Even All Out

[Foomatic]

linkd word = bulletproof


Life is too short
So love the one you got
Cause you might get runover
Or you might get shot
Never start no static
I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest
Take a small example
A tip from me
Take all of your money
And give it up to charity
Lovin's what I got
It's within my reach
And the sublime style's still straight from Long Beach
It all comes back to you you're gonna get what you deserve
Try and test that you're bound to get served
Love's what I got
Don't start a riot
You feel it when the dance gets hot


What I Got, Sublime

Linked word=L.A.

Those summer nights,
when I look in your eyes
I'm falling to pieces, pieces.
Out of my mind

I'm falling to pieces, pieces.
Who could imagine such a thing
could happen to you?
It's gonna be all right in old L.A. tonight.

Ozzy Osbourne- Old L.A. Tonight

[Foomatic]

linked words = Those summer nights

It turned colder, that's where it ends
So I told her we'd still be friends
Then we made our true love vow
Wonder what she's doin' now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams,
But oh
Those summer nights

Summer Nights, Grease

[abtotallyrules]

linked word - colder, told, wonder(ing)

Its getting colder in this ditch where I lie
I'm feeling older and I'm wondering why
I heard they told her it was tell and live or die
I didn't know her
But I know why she lied

But I know why she died

You can't say we didn't give it
I won't wait another minute
We're on our way
This time around


Hanson, This Time Around

[the hero factor]

Linked word = minute

Lying here in the darkness
I hear the sirens wail

You better hang on tooth and nail

In a New York Minute
Everything can change

"New York Minute" Don Henley

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = wolf and door

look out little girls and boys
talk about your toys
talk about your cool cats
all the better to eat you with
all the better to beat it

with an empty belly
and a barbed wire bonnet on a wolf
hangin' at your door

Patty Larkin, "Wolf At The Door"

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = your

You set the fire in me C-C
It's like I've learnt how to breathe easily
Photographed for a fashion magazine
It's just you, your God and me

I know it can't be easy for you

You set the fire in me C-C, you set the fire in me

Why go home when you'd rather see me
Feels like all my heart can do now is bleed
We should go down to the sea
It's just you, your God and me

Tom Vek - "C-C (You Set The Fire In Me)

I used to live in a two-room apartment
Neighbors knockin' on my wall
Times were hard, I don't wanna knock it

I'm okay, most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

Tom Petty - "The Apartment Song"

Linked word = tonight

Shadows bleeding through the light
Where the love once shined so bright
Came without a reason
Don't let go on us tonight
Love's not always black and white

But when I need you
You're almost here
And I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
Cause your only almost here

"Almost There" Delta Goodrem featuring Brian McFadden

With no secrets, no obsession
This time I'm speeding with no direction
Without a reason, what is this fire?
Burning slowly, my one and only
Desire

Desire, Ryan Adams

[the hero factor]

Linked word = words

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
All things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice and I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing
Oh but at often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright light turns to night
Oh until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just dream of
Others only read of the love
Of the love, that I love

"You and I Both" Jason Mraz

[DscoAkane]

linked words - All Things

Sunrise doesn't last all morning
A cloudburst doesn't last all day
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away


George Harrison - "All Things Must Pass"

[watty]

linked word = no warning

Monday, Monday
So good to me
Monday, Monday
It was all I hoped it would be

Oh Monday morning
Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening
You would still be here with me

Monday, Monday
Can't trust that day
Monday, Monday
Sometimes it just turns out that way

On Monday morning
You gave me no warning
Of what was to be
On Monday, Monday
How could you leave
And not take me?
