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

I was born in a crossfire hurricane 🌪
And I howled at my ma in the drivin' rain
But it's all right now
In fact, it's a gas
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas, gas, gas

Rolling Stones

[Ken4155]

Here comes the story of The Hurricane

The man the authorities came to blame

For something that he never done

Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been

The Champion of the World

Dylan

 

[Moorea7]

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World 🌐

Queen

Champion the wonder horse
Champion the wonder horse

Like a streak of lightning flashing cross the sky
Like the swiftest arrow
Whizzin' from a bow

Like a mighty cannonball he seems to fly
You'll hear about him everywhere you go
The time will come when everyone will know the name of Champion the wonder horse
Champion the wonder horse

Frankie Laine

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on
Still a little bit of your ghost, your witness
Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed

You step a little closer each day
That I can't say what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
And life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly....

I bet on the grey mare
I bet on the bay
If I'd have bet on ol' Stewball
I'd be a free man today

Oh the hoot owl, she hollered
And the turtle dove moaned
I'm a poor boy in trouble
I'm a long way from home

Oh Stewball was a racehorse
And I wish he were mine
He never drank water
He always drank wine

[mushroom25]

How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain?
How many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame?
Who gets to say?
Who gets to work and who gets to play?
I was always told at school, everybody should get the same.

How many times have you been told if you don't ask you don't get?
How many lads have taken your money? Your Mother said you shouldn't bet.
Who has the fun?
Is it always a man with a gun?
Someone must have told you if you work too hard you can sweat?

There's always the sun.
Mmmm
There's always the sun.
Always, always, always the sun....

The Stranglers

[Moorea7]

had a little sweet spot for the rain

For the rain and skies of grey

Hello sunshine, won't you stay?

You know I always liked my walking shoes

But you can get a little too fond of the blues

You walk too far, you walk away

Hello sunshine, won't you stay 🌞

Bruce Springsteen

[Canary42]

Rain rain go away

Come again another day

Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning

Baby the raindrops play for me
A lonely rhapsody 'cause on our first date
We were makin' out in the rain

And in this car our love went much too far
It was exciting as thunder
Tonight I wonder where you are

The windshield wipers seemed to say
"Together - together - together - together"
And now they are saying
"Oh, ne... ver, ne... ver"
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, baby

Rhapsody in the rain
Rhapsody in the rain

Lou Christie. Never trust a windshield wiper.

[Arksided]

Raindrops are falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

… So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

B. J. Thomas

Humidity is rising (uh rising), barometer's getting low (how low girl?)
According to all sources (what sources now?), the street's the place to go (we better hurry up)
'Cause tonight for the first time (first time)
Just about half-past ten (half past ten)
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men (start raining men)

It's raining men, hallelujah, it's raining men, amen
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet
It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, every specimen
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean

God bless mother nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel, she rearranged the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
Oh, it's raining men, yeah...

Jabara/Shaffer, performed by The Weather Girls (and Geri Halliwell)

[Arksided]

When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out to the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh

Rihanna... If you want to..☂

[mushroom25]

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
"Please, share my umbrella"
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer, we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
And that umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine

Every mornin', I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought
All the people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

That's the way the whole thing started
Silly but it's true
Thinkin' of a sweet romance
Beginning in a queue...

Gouldman, performed by The Hollies

If I had a golden umbrella
With the sunshine on the inside
And the rainbow on the outside
If I had a golden umbrella
A wonderful world it would be ☂

[mushroom25]

Northern lights in our skies
Plants that grow and open your mind
Things that swim with a neon glow
How we all got here, nobody knows

These are real things
These are real things

Oh, what a world, don't wanna leave
All kinds of magic all around us, it's hard to believe
Thank God it's not too good to be true
Oh, what a world, and then there is you

Did I know you once in another life?
Are we here just once or a billion times?
Well, I wish I knew, but it doesn't matter
'Cause you're here right now, and I know what I feel

And these are real things...

Kacey Musgraves

[elliemay1]

I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Louis Armstrong

[Hazlinny]

I want some red roses for a blue lady
Mister florist take my order please
We had a silly quarrel the other day
I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away

Bert Kaempfert

[maggiebee]

Here I go out to sea again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine

No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
