[Arksided]

Hi all as the 'answer box' has disapeared from the last one I'll start afresh as that was due to disapear from latest posts anyway today or tomorrow.

Many know how to play, they isn't rules as such just post a song lyric that follows on from the previous one.
you can have a natter along the way, all I ask is you play nice Xx

As a fresh start first poster can open with a song of their chosing... over to you.

[Arksided]

Open up your mind, and let me step inside
Rest your weary head, and let your heart decide

It's so easy when you know the rules
It's so easy, all you have to do is fall in love
Play the game
Everybody, play the game of love, yeah

👑

[Hazlinny]

So won't you say my name, say my name?
If you claim you want me, it ain't no thing
You acting kind of shady
You ain't been calling me baby, oh
Boy, you can go and stop playing games, playing games

Summer Walker

[mushroom25]

Baby, baby
I'm taken with the notion
To love you with the sweetest of devotion

Baby, baby
My tender love will flow from
The bluest sky to the deepest ocean

Stop for a minute
Baby, I'm so glad you're mine, yeah
You're mine

Baby, baby
The stars are shining for you
And just like me, I'm sure that they adore you

Baby, baby
Go walking through the forest
The birds above are singing you a chorus

Stop for a minute
Baby, they're so glad you're mine, oh yeah
And ever since the day you put my heart in motion
Baby, I realize that there's just no getting over you

Amy Grant

[Hazlinny]

Ooh, from my point of view
If you think getting over me was hard
Try getting over you
I don't wanna make light
Of what you're going through
But if you think getting over me was hard

Jackie Lee
Try getting over you
Oh, try getting over you

 

[Moorea7]

Weren't you the one
Who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh not I will survive
Yeah
As long as I know how to love 💗
I know I'll be alive

[mushroom25]

Do the Wall Street shuffle
Hear the money rustle
Watch the greenbacks tumble
Feel the Sterling crumble

You need a yen to make a mark
If you want to make money
You need the luck to make a buck
If you want to be Getty, Rothschild
You've gotta be cool on Wall Street

You've gotta be cool on Wall Street
When your index is low
Dow Jones ain't got time for the bums
They wind up on skid row with holes in their pockets
They plead with you, buddy can you spare the dime
But you ain't got the time
Doin' the
Doin' the

Oh, Howard Hughes
Did your money make you better?
Are you waiting for the hour
When you can screw me?
'Cause you're big enough

Stewart/Gouldman, performed by 10CC

[Hazlinny]

 

Once in khaki suits, ah, gee, we looked swell
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum

Oh, say, don't you remember? They called me 'Al'
It was 'Al' all the time
Say, don't you remember? I'm your pal
Buddy, can you spare a dime?

[mushroom25]

Deviate to contemplate
This audio visual opiate
One hundred years from now
Title fights and human rights
We're satellites, you're parasites
Hey yah ya

Now I've got to tell you that I've been down
Down so low that I bit the ground
Let's hear it from the heart of America
Ya da dee yeh yeh ee oh
Ya da dee yeh yeh ee ah
Ya da dee yeh ah
In Americ urelei urelei urelei urelei urelei urelei eh!
Urelei urelei urelei urelei urelei USA (for America)

Where's the peace and understanding?
Go drum, go dance, sound on sound
All this peace and understanding
Go drum, go dance, round and round
In America yeeooo ay da yeeooo ah

Toulson-Clarke, performed by Red Box

[Hazlinny]

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an almighty sound
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That throws me to the ground
Swear that you should hear it
It makes such an almighty sound
Louder than sirens, louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven and hotter than hell

James Ford

[maggiebee]

I hear the sound of distant drums

Far away, far away

And if they call for me to come

Then I must go and you must stay

 

Jim Reeves

I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
And the preacher said, you know you always have the Lord by your side
And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
Twenty red lights in his honor
Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord

I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late
And I thought by the time I got there she'd be off
She'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find
Much to my surprise, there she was sittin' in the corner
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear
Was a girl with far away eyes

So if you're down on your luck
And you can't harmonize
Find a girl with far away eyes
And if you're downright disgusted
And life ain't worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes

Rolling Stones

[Moorea7]

When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you watch her eyes
(Watch her eyes, baby watch her eyes)
When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you look for lies
(Keep lookin' for lies, baby keep lookin' for eyes) 👀

Dr. Hook

 

[Arksided]

In a heartbeat I realised, saw through your disguise:
How could anybody be so beautiful?
Stopped in my tracks, got a big time shock
My captured heart just would not stop.
How could anybody feel so wonderful?

Judy in disguise, well that's what you are
A lemonade pie with your brand new car
Cantaloupe eyes come to me tonight
Judy in disguise, with glasses

Keep a-wearing your bracelets and your new Rara
And cross your heart, yeah, with your livin' bra
Chimney Sweep Sparrow with guise
Judy in disguise, with glasses

Come to me tonight, come to me tonight
Taking everything in sight
Except for the strings on my kite....

Bernard/Gourrier, performed by John Fred and his Playboy Band

[Moorea7]

So tell me what I see

When I look in your eyes

You better look hard and look twice

Is that me, baby

Or just a brilliant disguise? 🦝

Bruce Springsteen

I'm at the stage
Where everything I thought meant something, seems so unappealing
I'm ready for the real thing but nobody's selling none
Except you and you're saying opening up your eyes and ears, and lets me in

You must be out of your brilliant mind
You must be out of your brilliant mind

You're at the stage
You want your empty words heard and everybody's ready
I want to know your secrets but you're no telling
You're just gesturing saying open up your arms and hearts, and lets me in

You must be out of your brilliant mind
You must be out of your brilliant mind

And I'm at the stage
Where I want my words heard and no one wants to listen though
No one wants to listen 'cause everybody's yelling
About you and yours and how I'd have the answer if only I'd open up up up and let you in

They must be out of their brilliant minds....

Step out from the mask you stand behind
Fearful lost and blind
Time to take the time
The pressures on you
Hide away, hide away
No tomorrow, just today

You, the brilliant thing you are
Outshine your brightest star 🌟
Too distant and too far away
You, you legend deep inside
Religiously denied, denied

Ultravox

[Hazlinny]

Like iron
From the fire
Gettin' stronger
This is how legends are made
Above it all
Untouchable
A new animal
This is how legends are made

Good morning Sodom and Gomorrah, good morning sinners
No, that wasn't your radio set on the bleep again
Sodom and Gomorrah, let the DJ play
'Cos I'm only gone tomorrow and here today

Lotta rockheads on the block
Dougie died and Sue got frocked
If the stove is hot, then I ain't lost
And Rosa says my star is crossed

Little Jamie writes V. Thirteen
Comes in by the door, goes out by screen
He don't listen to me, he knows everything
Girls on the avenue ask me to sing

Sodom and Gomorrah, let the DJ play
'Cos I'm only gone tomorrow and here today

The paper drags and folds me down
Like a paper cup, I fly around
I've been eating food that ain't been checked
And the Russian rain is beating down my neck

Screen blackout on the southern war
Cue talk breakdown on point forty four
There must be a place, the preacher says, "I guess"
But a drifter will tell you, no place is best

Shout for all the people who have nothing to say
'Cos we're only gone tomorrow and here today....

Strummer/Jones, performed by Big Audio Dynamite

[Hazlinny]

Pull the trigger
Point it at the sky
We will live or we will die
Still that's something
A beginning or an end
Something to depend and wait on
I've been waiting too long

Just give me some time to borrow
You're here today, gone tomorrow morning
