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 first poster has free choice for an opening song lyric of this 'new' thread.

She may be the face I can’t forget
A trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or
The price I have to pay

She may be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day

She may be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven
Or a hell

She may be the mirror of my dream
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

She who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No-one’s allowed to see them
When they cry

She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I remember
'Till the day I die

She may be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I’m alive
The one I’ll care for
Through the rough and rainy years

Me, I’ll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I’ve got to be
The meaning of my life is she

Charles Aznavour (today would have been his 100th birthday)

[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?

9 AM on a New York subway
Strap a hanging, commuting on the double A
Hopeless hope, wordless dreams and wornout wishes
Take a hold, take control of the comfort zone

Melancoly melody
It lingers in my head
Just an hour, just an hour ago
I was in your arms, in your touch
I was in your bed

9 AM on a New York subway
Strap a hanging commuting on the double A
Hopeless hope, wordless dreams and wornout wishes
Take a hold, take control of the comfort zone

Put the pen to paper, yeah
To leave a painful note
From a night-time, form a night-time to a lifetime
You never told your broken soul what was in your head

9 AM on a New York subway.....

Londonbeat

[Arksided]

Lying here in the darkness, I hear the sirens wail
Somebody going to emergency, somebody's going to jail
You find somebody to love in this world, you better hang on tooth and nail
The wolf is always at the door

In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute, things can get a little strange
In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute

Don Henley

[mushroom25]

Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach
Or to Hollywood
But I'm taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York state of mind

I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needing
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind

It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, The Daily News

It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind

Billy Joel (and others, incl Tony Bennett)

[Arksided]

New york, open your eyes to me
Let me be what I want to be
Tell me, tell me it's not too late

Big apple, takin' a bite of me
Whole world movin' below my feet
Not like, not like we do in l.a.

New york, make me a part of you
Straight, straight through the heart of you
Tell me, tell me it's not too late

Fleetwood Mac

[Ken4155]

You say you love me, and i hardly know your name

And if i say i love you, in the candlelight

There's no-one but myself to blame

But there's something inside that's turning my mind away

Oh, how i could love you, if i could let you stay

It's late, when i'm bleeding deep inside

It's late, ooh is it just my sickly pride

👑

[maggiebee]

Born too late for you to notice me
To you, I'm just a kid
That you won't date
Why was I born too late?

Born too late to have a chance
To win your love
Oh, why, oh, why
Was it my fate
To be born too late?

The Poni-tails

[Hazlinny]

Born to lose, I've lived my life in vain
Every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm losing you

Born to lose, it seems so hard to bear
When I wake and find that you're not there
You've grown tired and now you say we're through
Born to lose and now I'm losing you

Ray Charles

[maggiebee]

Don't sigh a sigh for me
Don't ever cry for me
This is goodbye for me
I know we're through
I'm losing you

Love sang it's song for me
Then things went wrong for me
Nights are too long for me
Because I'm losing you

Brenda Lee

[Hazlinny]

Time to say goodbye
Horizons are never far
Would I have to find them alone?
Without true light of my own with you
I will go on ships overseas
That I now know
No, they don't exist anymore
It's time to say goodbye

Sarah Brightman

[Arksided]

Goodbye little spy in the sky
They say the cameras don't lie
Am I happy? Am I sad?
Am I good? Am I bad?

Roger Waters

[elliemay1]

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah

The Beatles

[jno]

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world’s
A sunny day, oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to a photograph
So mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away

P Simon

[Arksided]

My camera never lies
So I'll put you in the picture and cut it down to size
(My camera oh oh)
My camera never lies anymore
'Cause there's nothing worth lying for
(My camera never lies)
There's nothing worth lying for
(My camera never lies)
My camera never lies anymore

BzzzUxed Phizzz...

[Hazlinny]

The flash from a distant camera
Reconnecting thoughts and actions
Fragments of our missing dream
Pieces from here and there
Fall in place along the line
Disappearing between you and me

Neil Young

[Arksided]

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, "Something's out there!"
Floating in the summer sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by

Nena

[Hazlinny]

We drank the great lakes
Like cold lemonade
And both got stomach aches
Sprawled out in the shade

So bored to death you held your breath
And I tried not to yawn
You made my frown turn upside down
And now my worries are gone

I'll be out of my mind
And you'll be out of ideas
Pretty soon
So let's spend
The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon

Owl City

[Ken4155]

The sky was all purple

There were people running everywhere

Trying to run from the destruction

You know i didn't even care

Say, say, 2000-00 party over

Oops, out of time

So tonight i'm gonna party like it's 1999

Prince

[elliemay1]

You don't know what's going on
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back and think you are still mine

[Pre-Chorus]
You're out of touch, my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

[Chorus]
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes, you are left out, yes, you are

Chris Farlowe
