See How Far This Goes...

[Arksided]

Hi everyone the last one no longer appears in recent posts...

Many know how to play, they isn't rules as such just post a song lyric that follows on from the previous one.
Feel free to have a natter along the way, artist is optional although helpful if a little obscure all I ask is you play nice Xx

The last song lyric posted was:

You can paint a picture 🖼
More than they can give you
History is written by the hands
That hold the future
Paint it bright
Paint it loud
Paint it now

Whitey

[mushroom25]

Suddenly before my eyes
Hues of indigo arise
With them how my spirit sighs
Paint the sky with stars

Only night will ever know
Why the heavens never show
All the dreams there are to know
Paint the sky with stars

Who has placed the midnight sky
So a spirit has to fly?
As the heavens seem so far
Now who will paint the midnight star?

Enya

[Ken4155]

Couch my disease in chintz covered kisses

Glazed calico cloth, my costume this is

Come to Pablo Fanque's in indigo

We'll show you pastel shades of rhyme

Cockney Rebel

[Arksided]

She was a rebel without a cause (love love)
She was a girl who needed applause (love love)
Love in the future love in the past
Love in the future love in the past
Love lies bleeding in our path (love love love lies bleeding)
I dreamed this world was quite alright (love lies bleeding)
And everyone meant well (love lies bleeding)
When I awoke to my surprise (love lies bleeding)
I found myself in hell (love lies bleeding)
Love lies bleeding...

I was working in the lab, late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise

He did the monster mash
(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash
(He did the mash) It caught on in a flash
(He did the mash) He did the monster mash

From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes

They did the monster mash
(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash
(They did the mash) It caught on in a flash
(They did the mash) They did the monster mash

The zombies were having fun (tennis shoe, wa hoo)
The party had just begun (tennis shoe, wa hoo)
The guests included Wolfman, Dracula and his son
The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, 'The Crypt-Kicker Five'.....

I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door

Ay, ay, ay, ay
Feels like fire
I'm so in love with you
Dreams are like angels
They keep bad at bay, bad at bay
Love is the light
Scaring darkness away, yeah

My eyes are bleeding

And my heart is leaving here

The place i've known

But it's not home

Rainbow

[mushroom25]

You and me, we go together
When you're near, life's just better
Woah-oah-oah
I'm home
Far away, we could go somewhere
Wouldn't change as long as you're right here
Woah-oah-oah
I'm home

Let's just stay how we are
I'll never let you go
Just hold on to my heart until we're getting older

'Cause you're my home, home
My home, my home

Nina Nesbitt

[maggiebee]

I'm sittin' in the railway station
Got a ticket to my destination
On a tour of one-night stands
My suitcase and guitar in hand
And every stop is neatly planned
For a poet and a one-man band

Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought's escapin'
Home where my music's playin'
Home where my love lies waitin'
Silently for me

Simon & Garfunkel

Is this the way to Amarillo?
Every night I've been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me
Show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
Crying over Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me

Tony Christie

[maggiebee]

Marie, the dawn is breaking
Marie, you'll soon be waking
(Ooh, Marie)
To find you heart is aching
And tears will fall as you recall
(And tears will fall)

The moon in all its splendour
A kiss so very tender
(Ooh, a kiss)
The words, 'Will you surrender
To me Marie?'

Tommy Dorsey

[Moorea7]

You don't remember me, but I remember you
'Twas not so long ago, you broke my heart 💗  in two
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you, you

Johnny Nash

[Arksided]

She moves like she don't care
Smooth as silk, cool as air
Ooh it makes you wanna cry
She doesn't know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh it makes you wanna die

Ooh, don't you wanna take her?
Ooh, wanna make her all your own?

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

The most beautiful sound I ever heard
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
Maria, Maria

Maria!
I just met a girl named Maria
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same to me

Maria!
I just kissed a girl named Maria
And suddenly I've found
How wonderful a sound can be

From West Side Story

[mushroom25]

Well her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
(Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me....

[Hazlinny]

Suddenly, life has new meaning to me
There's beauty up above
And things we never take notice of
You wake up, and suddenly you're in love

Billy Ocean

Summer's gone (summer's gone)
Day's spent with the grass and sun (grass and sun)
I don't mind (I don't mind)
To pretend, I do seems really dumb (it seems really dumb)

I rise as the morning comes
Crawling through the blinds
I shouldn't be up at this time
But I can't sleep with you there by my side

Wake up, it's a beautiful morning (wake up)
The sun shining for your eyes
Wake up, it's so beautiful (wake up)
For what could be the very last time

25 (25)
Don't recall a time I felt this alive (this alive)
So wake up, boo (wake up, boo)
There's so many things for us to do (things that we could do)

It's early so take your time
Don't let me rush you, please
I know I was up all night
I can do anything, anything, anything....

Carr, performed by The Boo Radleys

[maggiebee]

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings
The six o'clock alarm would never ring
But it rings and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
My shavin' razor's cold and it stings

Cheer up, sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen?

Monkees

[Hazlinny]

Oh! I long for Jeanie, and my heart bows low,
Never more to find her where the bright waters flow.
Now the nodding wild flowers may wither on the shore
While her gentle fingers will cull them no more:
Oh! I sigh for Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Floating, like a vapor, on the soft summer air.

Aquarius: and my name is Ralph
Now I like a woman who loves her freedom
And I like a woman who can hold her own
And if you fit that description, baby, come with me

Take my hand
Come with me, baby, to Love Land
Let me show you how sweet it could be
Sharing love with me, I want you to

Float, float on (come on, come on, come on)
Float on, float on
Float, float, float on

Willis/Ingram/Mitchell, performed by The Floaters
