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

Pearl's a singer

She stands up when she plays the piano

In a nightclub

Pearl's a singer

She sings songs for the lost and lonely

Her job is entertaining folks

Singing songs and telling jokes

In a nightclub

Pearl's a singer

And they say that she once was a winner

In a contest

Pearl's a singer

And they say that she once cut a record

They played it for a week or so

On the local radio

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin

He says, "Son, can you play me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet, and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"

La, la, la, de, de, da
La, la, de, de, da, da, da

Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
We're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be

He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As a smile ran away from his face
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"..........

Billy Joel

[Hazlinny]

 

We're a thousand miles from comfort
We have traveled land and sea
But as long as you are with me
There's no place I'd rather be

I would wait forever
Exalted in the scene
As long as I am with you
My heart continues to beat

I'd rather be
I'd rather be

Clean Bandit

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Celine Dion

[Hazlinny]

Open the door and come on in
I'm so glad to see you my friend
You're like a rainbow comin' around the bend
And when I see you smilin'
Well, it sets my heart free
I'd like to be as good a friend to you
As you are to me

Judy Collins

[maggiebee]

Come in, come in, its nice to see you

Hows yoursel' you 're looking grand

Tak' a seat and ha' e a drammie,

Man you're welcome, here’s my hand

So let us gather here this nicht,

And sing of days gone bye

Days of yore that are no longer

And their passing brings a sigh

Then with dawn will come the parting

And you'll wander down the glen

Health be yours and joy be with you

Till you hear those words again

Andy Stewart

[Hazlinny]

T'was there that we parted, in yon shady glen
On the steep, steep sides of Ben Lomond
Where in purple hue, the highland hills we view
And the moon comin' out, in the gloamin'

Oh you'll tak' the high road an' I'll tak' the low
And I'll be in Scotland, afore ye
For me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond

John McDermott    ..........  let's sing it for Scotland, Maggien🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Moorea7]

While I give to you and you give to me

True love, true love ❤️

So, on and on it will always be

True love, true love

He used to give me roses,
I wish he could again;
But that was on the outside,
And things were different then.

We'd built our world together,
With a love so clear and strong;
But that was on the outside.
Where did i go wrong?

On the inside the sun still shines,
And the rain falls down;
But the sun and rain are prisoners too,
When morning comes around.

Last night i dreamed we were together,
Sharing all the love we've known;
Til i had to face the nightmare,
Of waking up alone.

On the inside the sun still shines,
And the rain falls down;
But the sun and rain are prisoners too,
When morning comes around.

On the inside the roses grow;
They don't mind the stoney ground;
But the roses here are prisoners too,
When morning comes around.

He used to give me roses,
I wish he could again;
But that was on the outside,
And things were different then.

[Moorea7]

Well, you'd think I could learn

How to tell you goodbye

And you don't sing me

And you don't sing me love songs

You don't bring me flowers 💐 anymore

Neil Diamond

 

[johnny.5]

She's a rich girl
She don't try to hide it
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
He's a poor boy
Empty as a pocket
Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose

[Moorea7]

Oh yeah, by the way she moves 💃

She's got me rolling in dirt in a white t-shirt

Breaker, beaker 1-9, she's a bit ol' flirt

By now she's got me pretty tied up

Tied down, any way I chose

I got nothin' to lose

Josh Gracin

 

[johnny.5]

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes-Benz, uh
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say

[Moorea7]

When I was thirty-five it was a very good year

It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls 🙎‍♀️

Of independent means, we'd ride in limousines their chauffeurs would drive

When I was thirty-five

I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick

On the cigarettes there in the ashtray

Lying cold the way you left them

But at least your lips caressed them

While you packed

Or the lip-print on a half-filled cup of coffee

That you poured and didn't drink

But at least you thought you wanted it

That's so much more than I can say for me

 

 

 Ivan Cornejo 'Baby Please' (En Vivo) | Genius Open Mic

[Chorus]

What a good year for the roses

Many blooms still linger there

The lawn could stand another mowing

Funny I don't even care

As you turn to walk away

As the door behind you closes

The only thing I have to say

It's been a good year for the roses

Elvis Costello

 

[mushroom25]

I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain sometime
When you take you gotta give so live and let live or let go
Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden

I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
So you better think it over
Well, if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter

So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can....

South, performed by Billy Joe Royal, and Lynn Anderson

[Hazlinny]

Don't look so sad
I know it's over
But life goes on
And this world keeps on turning, yeah

Let's just be glad
We have this time to spend together
There is no need
To watch the bridges that we're burning

Lay your head (lay your head)
On my pillow, sweet baby
Hold your warm (and tender body) and tender body
Close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowin' softly against my window
Oh, late at night
(Make believe) make believe you love me
(Make believe) one more time
For the good times
For the good times

Al Green

[Patsy33]

You don't remember me, but I remember you

'Twas not so long ago, you broke my heart in two

Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart

Caused by you, you

If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate

I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hand of fate

Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you

Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy

When you find the one you love

She'll fill your heart with joy

If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate

I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hand of fate

Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you

You (oh oh oh)

You (oh oh oh), you (oh oh oh)

You (oh oh oh) you (oh oh oh)

 

[Hazlinny]

Each night while I'm sleeping oh, so lonely,
I'll share your love in dreams that once were true.
I've waited so long for you to write me,
But just a memory's all that's left of you.

Send me the pillow that you dream on,
Don't you know that I still care for you?
Send me the pillow that you dream on,
So darling, I can dream on it, too.

Dean Martin, also others.

And just call me
Shiny
As I disappear
Into the sunset.

We have no memory tonight
(No memory, no memory)
we have the sun in our hair
And the moon in our eyes
We just don't give a damn 'cos we are free (free, free)

No memory... (ohh)

Wake up, wake up in the middle of the night (ooh)
Wake up, wake up to the sound of rain
(rain rain rain, rain rain rain)
On the roof
Just get me back
I wanna see
Another sunset (sunset)
And another sunrise.
Oooh
Ahhh
Ooh

We have no memory tonight
(No memory, no memory)
we have the sun in our hair
And the moon in our eyes
We just don't give a damn 'cos we are free (free, free)

No memory...
