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

[Arksided]

She keeps her Moët et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
"Let them eat cake, " she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline

Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

She's a Killer...

👑

[maggiebee]

I'll always look back as I walk away
This memory will last for eternity
And all of our tears will be lost in the rain
When I find my way back to your arms again
But until that day you know you are
The queen of my heart
The queen of my heart

[Hazlinny]

Every lock that ain't locked, when no one's around

I sing, trailers for sale or rent

Rooms to let, 50 cents

No phone, no pool, no pets

I ain't got no cigarettes

Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom

Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room

I'm a man of means by no means

King 👑 of the road.

Roger Miller

 

 

the road

Roger Miller

[Arksided]

Queen and country, safe and sound
With villains six feet underground
And no one knows 'cause no one's found
Any trace of a man for all seasons
Loves them and leaves them alone, so alone

And you and I wouldn't have a clue
Who's doing what, why, when and who?
Up a creek with no canoe
Watch out for the man for all seasons
Loves 'em and leaves 'em alone, so alone
But safe at home

Nobbie

[maggiebee]

Seasons change
And I've tried hard just to soften you
The seasons change
But I've grown tired trying to change for you
'Cause I've been waiting on you
I've been waiting on you

Future Islands
'Cause I've been waiting on you
I've been weighing on you

As it breaks, the summer will wake
But the winter will wash what is left, of the taste
As it breaks, the summer will warm
But the winter will crave what has gone
Will crave what has all
Gone away

 

[maggiebee]

Ooops, don't know what happened there - group Future Islands should be at the end!

[Arksided]

I'm standing here on the ground
The sky above won't fall down
See no evil in all directions
Resolution of happiness
Things have been dark for too long

Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me

INXS. No problem Maggie, I read rumors about a mad cow knocking about in Scotland 😍

[mushroom25]

I've been living through changes
And I could swing for you
I can see the veins in my hands
Are showing through

But if you disguise what
These things are doing to me
And if you criticise them
I'll know that you can see

Until you realise
It's just a story
Until you realise
It's just a story

Consequently my reaction
Was getting rather strange
I can see your course of action
Leading to a change

You've got to get ready for me

Is it real?
Or is it treason?
Is it treason?

Cope, performed by The Teardrop Explodes

[Hazlinny]

Street signs and the centerlines spinning
Whoa, whoa
Running hot, I feel like I'm ready to roll
Give me room to run
One more road I'm on
Give me room to run away
I feel like I'm ready to roll

Jet Black Stare

[Arksided]

I love it in your room at night
You're the only one who gets through to me
In the warm glow of the candlelight
Oh, I wonder what you're gonna do to me.

The Bangles

[Hazlinny]

Like the coming of the night
You can count on me to always treat you right
I'm gonna do my part
Like the one that comes with dawn
I can count on you, you always turn me on
You open up my heart

Pointer Sisters

[Arksided]

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross

And even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for 🤔

Billy Joel

[Hazlinny]

 

I have climbed highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

U2

Like a mad man, I'm up in the morning
Heading for the walls of heartache
Working everyday
Bringing home the pay of heart break

You woke up and the walls get higher
They are built on the tears of crying
Oh, I got to bring it back
I'm working 'til the day I'm dying, oh, yeah

Breaking down the walls of heartache baby
I'm a carpenter of love and affection
Breaking down the walls of heartache baby
Got to tear down all the loneliness and tears
And build you up a house of love, yeah

Breaking down the walls of heartache (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Taking down the walls of heartache baby
Taking down the walls of heartache (shaking down, shaking down, shaking down)
Shaking down the walls of heartache

Brick by brick, I'm tearing it down
Yeah, babe

Randell/Linzer, performed by Johnny Johnson & the Bandwagon

[Hazlinny]

It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down

It's a fool's game
Nothing but a fools game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown

It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he lets you down

Bonnie Tyler

[mushroom25]

Now if there's a smile on my face
It's only there trying to fool the public
But when it comes down to fooling you
Now honey that's quite a different subject

But don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Really I'm sad, oh, I'm sadder than sad
You're gone and I'm hurting so bad
Like a clown I appear to be glad (sad, sad, sad, sad)

Now, there's some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown when there's no one around, mm
Oh, yeah, baby

Now if I appear to be carefree
It's only to camouflage my sadness
In order to shield my pride, I try
To cover this hurt with a show of gladness
But don't let my show convince you
That I've been happy since you
Decided to go (why did you go?)
Oh, I need you so (I need you so)
I'm hurt and I want you to know (want you to know)
But for others, I put on a show, ooh, oh (it's just a show)

There's some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown, when there's no one around, oh, yeah

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles

[Hazlinny]

I'd be smiling if I wasn't so desperate
I'd be patient if I had the time
I could stop and answer all of your questions
As soon as I find out how I can move from the back of the line
I'll be your clown, behind the glass
Go 'head and laugh, 'cause it's funny
I would too, if I saw me
I'll be your clown, on your favourite channel
My life's a circus-circus, 'round in circles
Selling out tonight

Emile Sande

[Arksided]

They say his famous final words
Came from the heart of a man
I made my bed on love denied
Now I ain't gonna sleep tonight

Too late for the young gun
To lead a simple life
Too late for the young gun

The sun and the moon
The sun and the moon
The wind... and the rain

[Hazlinny]

Up there in space
I see the moon
In different shapes
Crescent or full

I put my moon boots on
I take my rocket ship
I want to fly up high
So I can say

Hello sun, hello moon, hello stars
I just want to say "Hi!"

The Singing Walrus   How are you this evening, Arky?

[Arksided]

I would fly you to the moon and back
If you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?

Savage garden. I'm fine and well thank you for asking 'Hazi ' remember an Angel ain't just for Christmas.
