New game: Lyrics Chain

Postby tarawhipped » Wed Dec 07, 2005 10:22 am

I’ve been playing this game on another site (thanks to KerochanNoMiko for starting it up), and thought it would do well over here. Here’s how you play:

I'll post a few lines from a song. The next person posts “Linked word = [linked word],” and a new lyric snippet, which must have at least one word in common with the previous lyrics.

Rules:
- Please use bold tags on your linked word so they stand out.
- Don't link words like 'and' or 'the.'
- Don't quote the entire song, just several lines (enough to give the next person an adequate buffet of vocabulary goodness).
- Don't use the same word as a link two times in a row.
- Please wait for at least two other people to post before you post again.



For example, if I post:

I’m in so deep.
You know I’m such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?

“Linger,” The Cranberries

Then the next person could post:

Linked word = Linger

Sometimes I feel so happy,
Sometimes I feel so sad.
Sometimes I feel so happy,
But mostly you just make me mad.
Baby, you just make me mad.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.

“Pale Blue Eyes,” The Velvet Underground

And so on...got it? Okay, here we go:



Saw your exhibition happening,
You looked like a movie queen,
Acting out your finest role,
Acting like you didn’t know your
Lines by heart, so you could please
The voyeur in the balcony.

“Voyeur in the Balcony,” The Catheads

oooh, a music game I might be able to participate.

linked word = queen

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

linked word = tambourine

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Linked word = jangle

I've got spurs
That jingle, jangle, jingle
As I go riding merrily along
And they say, "Oh ain't you
Glad you're single?"
And that song ain't
So very far from wrong.

Linked Word = Riding (I hope that's not too common...)

My money's riding on this dark hrose, baby,
My heart is saying it's the lucky one.
And it's true colour's gonna shine through someday,
If we let this,
Let this dark horse run.

Linked word = someday

Someday I'll quit my job,
Do things I want to every day.
Don't tell me about your boredom,
I don't look at life that way.

"Someday," by some late 80s new wave band whose name escapes me at the moment...Maru? Any idea?

Linked word = life

I've looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose, and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life at all.

I never thought this could happen,
But somehow, the feeling gone.
You got sick of the pattern,
And I, got lost,
In tnis song.

linked word = sick

I'm all used up
I'm out of luck
I am starstruck
By something in your eyes that is keeping my hope alive
But I'm sick of myself when I look at you
Something this beautiful and true

I can change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.

Something good,
Baby, if I could, change...
The world.

linked word = love

I can't swim and I can't fly
I ain't no fish, I ain't no bird in the sky
I can't tell if the sun's gonna shine
And I don't know if you'll ever be mine
But I'll make love to you any old time

linked word = swim

I hope I never see the ocean again
pushing and pulling at me as I go deeper and deeper in
till I'm so far from my shore
so far from what I came here for
I let you surround me
I let you drown me out with your den
and then I learned how to swim

That nothing grows on
But time still goes on
And through each life of misery
Everybody's got a hold on hope
It's the last thing that's holding me

Linked Word = Misery (180, eh?)

When I touch you, can you feel it?
When I need you, can you give it?
When I look in your eyes, can you see me?
When I fall, fall,
Will you catch me?
Catch me?
Catch me?

Misery,
Is what I feel,
When you're not around,
So I can't heal.
Misery,
Is what I feel,
Is what I feel.

The Moffats - Misery

Linked word = heal

I loved you for a long, long time
I know this love is real
It don't matter how it all went wrong
That don't change the way I feel
And I can't believe that time's
Gonna heal this wound I'm speaking of
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure for love

"Ain't No Cure For Love," Leonard Cohen

Linked word = change

Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For the people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves

This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under Pressure
Under Pressure
Pressure

"Under Pressure" -Queen and David Bowie

(My favorite song, right there.)

Linked Word = Dance

Oh my my,
Oh hell yes,
You gotta put on that party dress.
It was to cold to cry when I woke up alone,
I hit the last number,
I walked to the road,

Last dance with Mary Jane,
One more time to kill the pain.
I feel summer creaping in,
And I'm tired of this town again.

Go lightly from the ledge, babe,
Go lightly on the ground.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I will only let you down.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part,
Someone to close his eyes for you,
Someone to close his heart,
Someone who will die for you an' more

And baby, that's no lie
Oh no, babe

In dresses white, all set for sail
A little girl dreams of taking the veil

On beaches clean of sand and shell
A little girl dreams of taking the veil

All lightning bright and thunder loud
A little girl dreams safe and sound

Linked Word = choose

You have a (hey hey) a right to choose
Gen-der is, gender is not the issue
Judged by parents and the public
The Fingers pointed at them
Well I'll point mine right back
They Must Realize
You can't change whom you love
And gender is not the issue


"Right to Choose" by Anti-Flag


I used to play this game at another Willow/Tara chat many years ago. It shut down about three years ago. I don't remember the name but it was fun. Oh and its funny you should mention Rent because I just got home from seeing it. Excellent.
