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

Hey, did you rock 'n' roll?
Rock on
Ooh, my soul
Hey, did you boogie too, did ya?

Hey, shout, summertime blues
Jump up (up, down) and down in my blue suede shoes
Hey, did you rock 'n' roll?
Rock on

And where do we go from here?
Which is a way that's clear?
Still looking for that blue-jean baby-queen
Prettiest girl I've ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen
Jimmy Dean
(James Dean)

And where do we go from here?
Which is the way that's clear?
Still looking for that blue-jean baby-queen
Prettiest girl I ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen
Jimmy Dean....

When I hear
That rock and roll
It gets down to my soul
When it is real rock and roll
Oh, rock and roll
When I hear
That rock and roll
It gets down to my soul
When it is real rock and roll
Oh, rock and roll
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I hear the singing
And the chiming of the bells ringing
All throughout the emptiness of this old Cathedral town
They came by again today
They’re kicking all the clowns 🤡

Culture sucks downwards
Itemize loathing and feed yourself smiles

Organize your safe tribal war
Hurt, maim, kill and enslave the ghetto

Each day living out a lie
Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever

Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness

Life lies a slow suicide
Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths

From feudal serf to spender
This wonderful world of purchase power

Just like lungs sucking on air
Survival's natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow

Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness....

Manic Street Preachers

[maggiebee]

As the snow flies

On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)

And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It is another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)

People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me
Are we too blind to see?
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way

Well, the world turns

Elvis

[mushroom25]

One man on a lonely platform
One case sitting by his side
Two eyes staring cold and silent
Shows fear as he turns to hide

Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)

Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)

Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)

Feel the rain like an English summer
Hear the notes from a distant song
Stepping out from a back shop poster
Wishing life wouldn't be so long
(Devenir gris)

Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
(Devenir gris).....

Ure, performed by Visage

[Moorea7]

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink 🍷
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

Procol Harum

[elliemay1]

We'll drink a drink, a drink
To Lily the Pink, the Pink, the Pink
The saviour of the human race
For she invented, medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case

Mr. Freers had sticky out ears
And it made him awful shy
And so they gave him medicinal compound
And now he's learning how to fly

The Scaffold

[Arksided]

Messenger from Seven Seas
Has flown (ooh, oo-oo-ooh)
To tell the King of Rhye
He's lost his throne (Aah)
Wars will never cease (cease)
Is there time enough for peace? (Peace)
But the lily of the valley (valley)
Doesn't know

👑

[Hazlinny]

I need a little you time, you time, red wine
Sippin' in a moonlight
Your touch, your skin, your lips
Kissin' on me all night
I ain't tryin' to monopolize
You're 24/7, 365, but sometimes I need
Just a little bit of me and you time, you time, you time
Oh

Scotty McCreery

[Moorea7]

Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe. 

The Hollies

 

[Arksided]

Sometimes I can't believe my brain
And sometimes I can't believe my brain
And sometimes you gotta take a chance on yourself

Cause when the power strikes you blind
They can see it in your eyes
And it doesn't take too much to read
Too much to read your mind

Max Q. Michael Hutchence away from INXS

[Moorea7]

I dream of the ships at sea, on a stormy night
I wish that it was me, but I wake in fright
I realize, I can see it in your eyes 👁 👁
I've only got myself to blame

Men at Work

[Arksided]

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy, linen land

Don Mclean

[Moorea7]

A golden halo of fireflies
In a way it was much too close
I wish I could’ve told you then how I feel
We sit together in darkness
Staring up at the sky and the stars 🌟 🌟
They shine so bright

Inkwell (1)

[jno]

Scintillate, scintillate, globule vivific,
Fain would I fathom thy nature specific.
Loftily poised in the ether capacious,
Strongly resembling a gem carbonaceous

[Smowball]

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me

(Queen)

[Hazlinny]

So shine bright tonight, you and I

We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Eye to eye, so alive

We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

^^ sorry, mine was replying to Jno.

[Moorea7]

Diamonds 💎 are forever, they are all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
They won't leave in the night
I've no fear that they might desert me
