New game: Lyrics Chain

[Insanity]

Okay, I'll take the dare

linked word = young

Buddy you’re a boy make a big noise
Playin’ in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on yo’ face
You big disgrace
Kickin’ your can all over the place

We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

Buddy you’re a youngman hard man
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on yo’ face
You big disgrace
Wavin’ your banner all over the place

We will rock you - Queen

[Candleshoe]

How about Queen Latifah? Linked word = will

Tell me, don't you think it's a shame?
When someone can put a quarter in a video game
But when a homeless person approaches you on the street
You can't treat him the same
It's time to teach the def, the dumb, the blind
That black-on-black crime only shackles and binds
You to a doom, a fate worse than death
But there's still time left
Stop putting your conscience on cease
And bring about some type of peace
Not only in your heart, but also in your mind
It will benefit all mankind
Then there will be one thing that will never stop
And it's the evil that men do

The evil that men do - Queen Latifah - was that linked enough?

[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

[Candleshoe]

Linked word - spell

I put a spell on you
’cause you’re mine
You better stop the things you do
I ain’t lyin’
No I ain’t lyin’
You know I can’t stand it
You’re runnin’ around
You know better daddy
I can’t stand it cause you put me down
I put a spell on you
Because you’re mine

I put a spell on you - a bunch of people all the way from Nina Simone to Marilyn Manson

[DscoAkane]

linked word - down

it's raining outside.
you've nowhere to hide.
she's asking you
why you think it's funny.


it's coming down.
it's coming down.
she's leaving your house.
she had to get out.
she's mad,
and she'll take her mattress with her

Cake - "It's Coming Down"

[watty]

linked word = house

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk


"House of the Rising Sun" -- original writer unknown, recorded by a bunch of people including The Animals, Bob Dylan and Dolly Parton
[br]

[hermitfish]

linked word =blue

You could have me sewn
Into your blue jean pocket
You could have me any way you want, you know
Innocence is gold
In a world of such large children
In this playground we call life, you know

Jude Cole - "Inhale"

[DscoAkane]

linked word - children

Memories, good days, bad days
They'll be, with me always
In these old familiar rooms children would play
Now there's only emptiness, nothing to say

Knowing me, knowing you
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you
We just have to face it, this time we're through
Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

ABBA - "Knowing Me Knowing You"

[Foomatic]

linked words = It's the best I can do


It’s a little bit funny this feeling inside
I’m not one of those who can easily hide
I don’t have much money but boy if I did
I’d buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it’s not much but it’s the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one’s for you

Your Song, Elton John

[the hero factor]

Linked word = money

Sam looks up from his Sunday paper
Says, "Boys, you're on the wrong track.
The secret of life is there ain't no secret,
And you don't get your money back"

The secret of life is gettin’ up early
The secret of life is stayin' up late
The secret of life is try not to hurry
But don't wait
Don't wait

The secret of life is a good cup of coffee
The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball
The secret of life is to find the right woman
The secret of life is nothin' at all

"The Secret of Life" -Faith Hill

[watty]

linked word = sunday

As I wandered past through the old grey house
And the children laughed for they'd found me out
And the silly things I do when I'm around you
Make for wanting to believe that I had found you

And if Sunday rain
And if Sunday rain
And if Sunday rain
I don't wanna know
Just like I won't forget your face
When I awake to find you here


"Hymn for her" -- Magic Numbers
[br]

[FineyMcFine]

Linked word = you

Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you sing you begin with Do Re Mi
To make money you begin NYSE
NYSE
The first four letters just happen to be NYSE
It means the New York Stock Exchange

Oh dear, let's see if I can make this easier

Susan Werner, "Dow Re Mi" (click the link, it's a hilarious song sung to the tune of "Do Re Mi from The Sound of Music)

[the hero factor]

Linked word = just

I'm no poet and I know it
I don't use five dollar words
This might not sound like much compared to all the pretty things you've heard
But here's how I'd explain it, since you brought it up
It won't sound like anybody else's version of love

It's like just before dark, jump in the car
Buy an ice cream and see how far we can drive before it melts kinda feelin'
That's how your love makes me feel inside
There's a cow in the road and you swerve to the left
Fate skips a beat and it scares you to death and you laugh until you cry
That's how your love makes me feel inside

"How Your Love Makes Me Feel" -Diamond Rio

[DscoAkane]

linked word - car

Today is a lovely day to run
Start up the car with the sun
Packing blankets and dirty sheets
A roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up
All the troubles you and i have seen

Cross when the drawbridge light is green
Don't look back to that messed-up scene

Eels - "Packing Blankets"

[Guppy]

linked word light

Start to think
Am I drinking too much
Should I keep going
Lose the life that I love

You can run a red light
Give up at a red light
You break the mold
When running through the tolls
Speeding through your whole life

Jonny Lang- "Red Light"

[Kaia]

linked word = running

I saw you dancing out the ocean
Running fast along the sand
A spirit born of earth and water
Fire flying from your hands

In the instant that you love someone
In the second that the hammer hits
Reality runs up your spine
And the pieces finally fit

And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Baby you're the one

"The One" - Elton John

[watty]

linked word = sand

Sundown all around
Walking through the summer’s end
Waves crash baby, don’t look back
I won’t walk away again

Oh, baby, anywhere you go
We are bound together
I begin, baby, where you end
Some things are forever

Circle in the sand
Round and round
Never ending love is what we’ve found
And you complete the heart of me
Our love is all we need
Circle in the sand


"Circle in the sand" -- Belinda Carlisle
[br]

[Kaia]

linked word = waves

Listen to the waves,
Everything communicates
Will it ever be
Anything more than wishful thinking?

Oh no there you go
Looked away and missed the show
how much wasted time
Will you survive?

Feel the blades of grass
How it brings you back
it will always be
Only as green as you can see.

Duncan Sheik - Wishful thinking

[kisstheviolets]

linked word: green

every time we do this
i fall for her
wave after wave after wave
it's all for her
i know this can't be wrong i say
and i'll lie to keep her happy
as long as i know that you know
that today i belong
right here with you
right here with you...

and so we watch the sun come up
from the edge of the deep green sea
and she listens like her head's on fire
like she wants to believe in me
so i try
put your hands in the sky
surrender
remember
we'll be here forever
and we'll never say goodbye...

"from the edge of the deep green sea" - the cure

[DscoAkane]

linked word - sky

The candy store paupers lie to the share holders
They're crossing their fingers they pay the truth makers
The balance sheet is breaking up the sky
So I'm caught at the junction still waiting for medicine
The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine
Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night
And if the blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue
If the sugar refining company won't save me
Who's gonna save me?

Midnight Oil - "Blue Sky Mine"

[hermitfish]

linked word = candy

Candy says I hate the quiet places
that cause the smallest taste of what will be
Candy says I hate the big decisions
that cause endless revisions in my mind

I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me

Velvet Underground - "Candy Says"

[dorksrcool]

Linked word=maybe

The sky now divides
to bring you back into the fold,
welcome home.
Still my need to recognize
any comfort you may show
only grows.
Guess I'll learn to accommodate,
while my heart just sits and waits.
Maybe God you found,
maybe is all that you can offer now.

Collective Soul- Maybe

[the hero factor]

Linked word = God

We were rolling through the Rockies
We were up above the clouds
When a station out of Jackson played that song
And it seemed to fit the moment
And the moment seemed to freeze
When we turned the music up and sang along

And there was a God in Heaven
And the world made perfect sense
We were young and were in love
And we were easy to convince
We were headed straight for Eden
It was just around the bend
And though I have forgotten all about it
The song remembers when

"The Song Remembers When" -Trisha Yearwood

[DscoAkane]

linked word - Jackson

Well, go on down to Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health.
Go play your hand you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself,
Yeah, go to Jackson; go comb your hair!
Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson.
See if I care.

When I breeze into that city, people gonna stoop and bow. (Hah!)
All them women gonna make me, teach 'em what they don't know how,
I'm goin' to Jackson, you turn-a loose-a my coat.
'Cos I'm goin' to Jackson.
"Goodbye," that's all she wrote.

Johnny Cash/June Carter - "Jackson"

[kisstheviolets]

Linked word: Goodbye

You danced with a stranger, she taught you how to lead
You said, "it's easy to stay here but braver to leave"
Then a kiss till we meet again
We swore we'd be the best of friends

I can't say goodbye
I can't say goodbye

I remember a coffee cup flavored with caramel
I told you a story about someone who'd gone to hell
So baby when you pass in your new white dress
I won't think this day is blessed

I can't say goodbye
I can't say goodbye...

"Goodbye" - the Nields

[watty]

linked word = white

Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send

Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore

'Cause I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you


"Nights in white satin" -- Moody Blues
[br]

[DscoAkane]

linked word - letters

We spotted the ocean at the head of the trail
Where are we going, so far away
And somebody told me that this is the place
Where everything’s better, everything’s safe
Walk on the ocean
Step on the stones
Flesh becomes water
Wood becomes bone
And half and hour later we packed up our things
We said we’d send letters and all those little things
And they knew we were lying but they smiled just the same
It seemed they’d already forgotten we’d came

Todd and the Wet Sprocket - "Walk on the Ocean"

[dorksrcool]

Linked words=far away

Let me know heaven sees,
shines on life our memories.
Mmm, make me feel all that you are,
angel, child or a radiant star.
'Cause I know that we'll meet up again in forever, oh
let me know you'll be waiting for me in the end.
You're far away from me,
come a little closer,
just a little.

Chantal Kreviazuk- Far Away

[Kaia]

linked word = know

you are a miracle but that is not all
you are also a stiff drink and i am on call
you are a party and i am a school night
and i'm lookin' for my door key
but you are my porch light

and you'll never know, dear
just how much i loved you
you'll probably think this was
just my big excuse
but i stand committed
to a love that came before you
and the fact that i adore you
is but one of my truths...

Ani DiFranco - School Night

[hermitfish]

linked word = school

Like a flower
Waiting to bloom
Like a lightbulb
In a dark room
I'm here waiting for you to come on home
And turn me on

Like the desert waiting for the rain
Like a school kid waiting for spring
I'm sittin' here waiting for you to come on back home
And turn me on

Nina Simone - "Turn Me On"
