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

[maggiebee]

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.

Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.

You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze.

Pink Floyd

[Arksided]

There must be more to this life
It's time we did something right
Child of Vision, won't you listen?
Find yourself a new ambition

I've heard it all before
You're saying nothing new
I thought I saw a rainbow
But I guess it wasn't true

You cannot make me listen
And I cannot make you hear
So you'll find your way to heaven
And I'll meet you when you're there

Supertramp

[Moorea7]

The formula for heaven’s very simple
Just follow the rules and you will see
That as life travels on and things do go wrong
Just follow steps one, two and three  1,2,3

Various

[Arksided]

In these days of cool reflection (reflection)
You come to me and everything seems alright
In these days of cold affections
You sit by me and everything's fine

This could be heaven for everyone
This world could be fed,
This world could be fun
This could be heaven for everyone
This world could be free,
This world could be one

The Cross later re-worked post Mercury under the banner of Queen.

[Moorea7]

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth
They say in Heaven, love comes first
We'll make Heaven a place on Earth
Ooh, Heaven is a place on Earth 🌐

Belinda Carlisle

[Hazlinny]

Imagine you could rid the Earth of anyone you choose
Which ones would you need the most and which ones would you lose?
Do we wanna judge another lest we be judged too?
Careful now, the next one might be you, yeah

Prince

[elliemay1]

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky

Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too

John Lennon

[Hazlinny]

Imagine we're in some place far away (far away)
No one around, we're alone (we're alone)
Just us and the music, we can run away (run away)
Hold on tight, don't let go

Blake Lewis

[Arksided]

And so we're running just as fast as we can
Holdin' on to one another's hand
Tryin' to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Tommy James and the Shondells. Tiffany and many others have covered it.

My old man said follow the van

And don't dilly-dally on the way

Off went the cart with the home packed in it

I walked behind with me old cock linnet

But I dillied and I dallied

And I dallied and I dillied

Lost the van and don't know where to roam

You can't trust these specials like the old time coppers

When you can't find your way home.

And now the D.E.A's got a chopper in the air
I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
I learnt a thing or two from Charlie, don't you know
You better stay away from Copperhead Road

[scorpiojo]

And the perverted fear of violence chokes a smile on every face

And common sense is ringing out the bells

This ain't no technological breakdown, oh no, this is the road to hell

[jno]

All the chapel bells were ringing
Was a great day in his life
'Cause the song that they were singing
Was for Jimmy and his wife

Then the little congregation
Prayed for guidance from above
"Lead us not into temptation
Bless oh Lord, this celebration
May their lives be filled with love"

Les trois cloches, The Browns

[Hazlinny]

Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray (Knees and pray)
Then your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way (And you'll surely find the way)

Elvis

[Arksided]

Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
You know the preacher lights the coals
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

The Mamas And The Papas
 

[Moorea7]

I've been all around this great big world

And I seen all kind of girls

Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the states

Back to the cutest girls in the world

I wish they all could be California girls

(I wish they all could be California)

I wish they all could be California girls.

If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there

 

 

Scott McKenzie

[jno]

Oh, show me 'round your snow-peaked mountains
Way down south
Take me to your daddy's farm
Let me hear your balalaikas ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm

I'm back In the U.S.S.R
You don't know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the U.S.S.R

I love Paris in the spring time
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles

Dean Martin for one

[Arksided]

From Paris to Berlin
And every disco I get in
My heart is pumping for love
Pumping for love

'Cause when I'm thinking of you
And all the things we could do
My heart is pumping for love
You left me longing for you
