New game: Lyrics Chain

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=whisper

Lay a whisper on my pillow,
leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely, there's air of silence
in the bedroom and all around.
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away.
It must have been love but it's over now.
It must have been good but I lost it somehow.
It must have been love but it's over now.
From the moment we touched 'til the time had run out.

Roxette- It Must Have Been Love

[the hero factor]

Linked words = dream away

Go to sleep now
Go on dream away
Isn't easy, is it babe?
And I hope
And I dream
And I pray
That sometime
We'll find a way

Some say easy come
Some say easy go
Some say time flies by too fast
Some say it drags on all too slow
Well I thought you could
You know I thought you could
And I thought I could too

"Someday" Concrete Blonde

[Tues]

linked word = sleep

A moments divine
What rapture serene
To clouds came along
To disperse the joys we had tasted
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
I know but too well what they mean

So dont let them begin the beguine
Let the love that was once a fire
Remain an ember
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
When they begin the beguine

"Begin the Beguine", Cole Porter

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = fire

We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never take the fall

We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all

They're so hell-bent on giving ,walking a wire
Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

Standing..oh, you get the picture - Garth Brooks

[the hero factor]

Linked word = walking

You know the way you're walking makes you seem larger than life.
As you turn the key to your door - you're turning me on.
And my mind spins high above the world.
That's the way I feel.
It's only natural to want what doesn't come
I swept away all of the pawns under my thumb
But like the ending of a one act play
The curtain closes and the actors run away

"Up Against the Wall" Patti Rothberg

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = door

When you left, the door was
(slamming!)
You paused in the doorway
(slamming!)
As though a thought stole you away.
(slamming!)
I watched the world pull you away.
(Lock it!)

So I run into the hall,
(Lock it!)
Into the corridor.
(Lock it!)
There's a door in the house
(slamming).
I hear the lift descending.
(slamming!)
I hear it hit the landing,
(slamming!)
See the hackles on the cat
(standing).

With my key I
(lock it).
With my key I
(lock it up).
With my key I
(lock it).
With my key I
(lock it up).

Kate Bush - "Get Out of My House"

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = key

I drove my tractor through your haystack last night
(ooh aah ooh aah)
I threw me pitchfork at your dog to keep quiet
(ooh aah ooh aah)
Now something's telling me
That you'm avoiding me
Come on now darling you've got something I need

Cuz I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key
Come on now let's get together
In perfect harmony
I got twenty acres
An' you got forty-three
Now I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key

Brand New Combine Harvester - The Worzels. They were famous in the UK, honest...

[DscoAkane]

linked word - quiet

It's, oh, so quiet
It's, oh, so still
You're all alone
And so peaceful until...

You ring the bell
Bim bam
You shout and you yell
Hi ho ho
You broke the spell
Gee, this is swell you almost have a fit
This guy is 'gorge' and I got hit
There's no mistake this is it

Bjork - "It's Oh So Quiet"

[hermitfish]

linked word = alone

I was the first to have spoken
And I said just about
All of the things you shouldn't say
So maybe you loved me but now
Maybe you don't
And maybe you'll call me
Maybe you won't

So I am alone but adored
By a hundred thousand more
Then I said when you were the last

And I have known love
Like a whore
From at least ten thousand more
Then I swore when you were the last

Dandy Warhols - "The Last High"

[Candleshoe]

linked word = ten thousand

Speaking of the devil
Look who just walked in
He knows just where to find me
Here we go again
I can tell he's gonna ask me to dance
But that's not as far as he wants to go
I need ten thousand angels
To help me tell him no

Lead me not into temptation
Heaven help me to be strong
I can fight all that I'm feeling
But I can't do it alone
Help me break this spell that I'm under
Guide my feet and hold me tight
I need ten thousand angels
Watching over me tonight

Ten Thousand Angels - Mindy McCready

[watty]

linked word = devil

It's that ole devil called love again
Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shove again
Putting rain in my eyes, tears in my dreams
And rocks in my heart
It's that sly old son of a gun again
He keeps telling me I'm the lucky one again
But I still have that rain
Still have those tears
And those rocks on my heart


"That ole devil called love", Alison Moyet
[br]

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=dreams

Now here I go again I see the crystal vision,
I keep my visions to myself.
It's only me who wants to
wrap around your dreams and ...
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness
like a heartbeat .. drives you mad,
in the stillness of remembering what you had
and what you lost ...
Who says what you had ...
Ooh and what you lost.
Thunder only happens when it's raining,
players only love you when they're playing.
They say women they will come and they will go.
When the rain washes you clean you'll know.

Fleetwood Mac- Dreams

[Candleshoe]

Linked word = rain

In that big old house there are fifty doors
and one of them leads to your heart.
in the time of spring I passed your gate and tried to make a start.
all I knew was the scent of sea and dew
but i've been in love before, how about you?

There’s a time for the good in life,
a time to kill the pain in life,
dream about the sun you queen of rain.

In that big old house there are fifty beds
and one of them leads to your soul.
it’s a bed of fear, a bed of threats, regrets and sheets so cold.
all I knew your eyes so velvet blue,
I’ve been in love before, how about you?

There’s a time for the good in life
It’s time to place your bets in life,
I’ve played the loser’s game of life,
dream about the sun you queen of rain.

Queen of Rain - Roxette

[the hero factor]

Linked word = soul

Waiting by a grave, wait for them to rise
You want nothing more, than a social life
Then you fall in love, with a vampire guy
Cause he has a soul, looks too good to die
Wants to help you fight, cause now he feels all guilty
Could we have more irony

"Buffy" -Velvet Chain

[hermitfish]

linked word = grave

Did everything wrong but I never got caught
So of course I would do it all over again
I surprised many people who'd written me off
Years ago now they're way underground

Nobody asked me but here's my advice
To a young man or woman who's living this life
In a world gone to hell where nobody's safe
Do not go quietly unto your grave

Morphine - "Do Not Go Quietly Unto Your Grave"

[DscoAkane]

linked word - caught

Caught you in the act - can't put up with that
messing where you shouldn't be
I wanna hear you say you're sorry
Cause nobody takes advantatge of me

You're missing the mark - shooting in the dark
I'm pulling the wool from my eyes
baby don't you push me further
It's gonna hurt you if it happens twice

Heart - "If Looks Could Kill"

[watty]

linked word = hurt

It was a beautiful letdown
When I crashed and burned
When I found myself alone
Unknown and hurt
It was a beautiful letdown
The day I knew
That all the riches this world had to offer me
Would never do

In a world full of bitter pain
And bitter doubts
I was trying so hard to fit in
Fit in, until I found out


"The Beautiful Letdown", Switchfoot
[br]

[RaspberryHats]

linked word = bitter

And all the words we've spoken
Are buried in the sand (yeah)
They're raptured and you're broken
The taste of bitter glass (yeah)

What are you saying?
You've got nothing to live for
You're tired and you're broken
You just can't free yourself

What are you saying?
It's just the thought of rejection
It's pulling you deeper
You just can't free yourself

Feeder - "Bitter Glass"

[hermitfish]

linked word = broken, glass

Put whiskey on the wounds
Salt the glass and say goodbye
No feel-good scenes to bring it back
Just fallen brick and broken glass

Wrecking-ball operator
Twenty years pulling the lever
And these windows shield the cold
From the weather of my soul

And feel the heart-strings sinking fast
Another treasure found, another tumbling down

Son Volt - "Way Down Watson"

[meretricious]

linked words = wrecking ball

my life's an open book
you read it on the radio
we've got no where to hide,
we've got no where to go
but if you still decide
you want to take that ride

meet me at the wrecking ball
wear something pretty and white
and we'll go dancing tonight

"wrecking ball" neil young (or emmylou harris, or gillian welch)

[Candleshoe]

linked word = radio

I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake intent on tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
Oh-a oh

They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see
Oh-a oh
I met your children
Oh-a oh
What did you tell them?

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a oh

Video Killed The Radio Star - Buggles, Erasure, Ben Folds Five etc

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=pictures

Remembering you fallen into my arms crying
for the death of your heart.
You were stone white, so delicate,
lost in the cold you were
always so lost in the dark.
Remembering you,
how you used to be slow drowned you were
angels so much more than everything.
Oh hold for the last time then slip away quietly,
open my eyes but I never see anything.
If only I had thought of the right words I could
have held on to your heart.
If only I'd thought of the right words I wouldn't be breaking apart
all my pictures of you.

The Cure- Pictures of You

[the hero factor]

Linked word = crying

Only God says jump
So I set the time
'Cause if he ever saw it
It was through these eyes of mine
And if he ever suffered it was me who did his crying

Hey hey, good bye
Tomorrow Wendy is going to cry
(Tomorrow Wendy is going to die)

"Tomorrow Wendy" -Concrete Blonde

[Insanity]

linked word: time

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
and think of you
caught up in circles confusion--
is nothing new
Flashback--warm nights--
almost left behind
suitcases of memories,
time after--

sometimes you picture me--
I'm walking too far ahead
you're calling to me, I can't hear
what you've said--
Then you say--go slow--
I fall behind--
the second hand unwinds


if you're lost you can look--and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
time after time


Cindy Lauper - Time after Time

[hermitfish]

linked word = behind

Destroy everything you touch today
Destroy me this way
Anything that may desert you
So it cannot hurt you

You only have to look behind you
At who's undermined you
Destroy everything you touch today
Destroy me this way

Ladytron - "Destroy Everything You Touch"

[DscoAkane]

linked word - hurt

All packed to go, baloney and mayonnaise sandwiches for the road
lay them out across the dash in the August sun
and if they turn green don’t be afraid
nothing can hurt you but yourself
nothing can hurt you but yourself

I been given to visions from time to time (Mighty fields of vision)
and the voice in my brain can be a little unkind sometimes
Go ahead, point it at me, I ain’t scared
nothing can hurt you but yourself
nothing can hurt you but yourself

Drive By Truckers - "Sandwiches For The Road"

[the hero factor]

Linked word = road

There's a sad young wife never had a life
Her mother says she married young
And her husband's a fool never listened to
All the things she's never done
So she packs up that old Ford Fairlane
She's had about all she can bare
A suitcase, a hope, and a hard rain,
She's gonna find it all somewhere

On the road
Where the night is black
On the road
Where you don't look back
There's a white line in the distance
Where it's going nobody knows
If it's anywhere you'll find it
On the road

"On the Road" -Leroy Parnell

[tarawhipped]

linked word = black

Priests and cannibals,
Prehistoric animals,
Everybody happy as the dead come home.
Big black nemesis,
Parthenogenesis,
No one move a muscle as the dead come home.

"Nemesis," Shriekback

[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: dead

And the license said you had to stick around until I was dead
But if you're tired of looking at my face, I guess I already am
But you've never been a waste of my time
It's never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
And maybe you'll be alright

"Divorce Song" - Liz Phair

[GayNow]

Linked word = drag

I'm not a fucking drag queen
I'm in another bracket
What you see before you
Is not some midnight racket
Nothing here is padded
I've paid a mighty fortune
A few things have been added
And one or two subtractions


I'm not a fucking drag queen...Peter Outerbridge
