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

[Moorea7]

It's so easy when you know the rules
It's so easy, all you have to do is fall in love 💗
Play the game
Everybody, play the game of love, yeah

Queen

[1ozzy]

It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that
It started with a kiss, now we're up to bat
A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
I'm tellin' you, my babe, it's all in the game of love

Carlos Santana

[Moorea7]

For you, I was a flame 🔥
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game

Amy Winehouse

 

[Arksided]

Love is a danger of a different kind
To take you away and leave you far behind
And love, love, love is a dangerous drug
You have to receive it and you still can't get enough of the stuff

[1ozzy]

But love, love will tear us apart again

[Arksided]

Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart
 

you will always be mi love spud 

[maggiebee]

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God, what have we done to you?
We always tried to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through

Things get damaged, things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Depeche Mode

[Arksided]

There is one thing that I would die for
It's when you say: "My life is in your hands"
'Cause when you're near me your love is all I need
Now I can't imagine

What do you want from me
It's not how it used to be
You've taken my life away
Ruining everything

[Hazlinny]

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Can you imagine a goddess, who lifts you up
No matter how hard it is, when it gets corrupt
She's there for you, wiping up the drips of blood
Never quick to judge, she only wish for love
Can you imagine a goddess, who lifts you up
No matter how hard it is, when it gets corrupt
She's there for you, wiping up the drips of blood
Never quick to judge, she only wish for love

Prop Dylan

[Hazlinny]

Finally surfaced above the downs
Feeling her boldest, she came around
'Cause she's a goddess, finally saw this
And now you're back trying to claim her 'cause she's gone
And now, without her, you are alone
'Cause she's a goddess, you should've saw this

Banks

[mushroom25]

Everybody's high on consolation
Everybody's trying to tell me what is right for me, yeah
My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon
But it's plain to see that they can't comfort me

Sorry, Charlie, for the imposition
I think I got it (got it), I got the strength to carry on, yeah
I need a drink and a quick decision
Now it's up to me, ooh, what will be

She's gone, she's gone
Oh I, oh I
I better learn how to face it
She's gone, she's gone
Oh I, oh I
I'd pay the devil to replace her
She's gone, and she's gone
Oh why, what went wrong?

Get up in the morning, look in the mirror
One less toothbrush hanging in the stand, yeah
My face ain't looking any younger
Now I can see love's taken a toll on me

She's gone, she's gone
Oh I, oh I
I better learn how to face it
She's gone, and she's gone
Oh I, oh I
I'd pay the devil to replace her....

Hall & Oates

[Hazlinny]

You've been flying so high, you don't know
That you're blind to the writin' on the wall
But some day you'll look down and you'll find
You've got no place to fall

When the bright lights are gone, you'll be standing alone
Forsaken in the naked light of day
Then you'll know that it's all over but the dying
And you've still got the devil to pay

Johnny Cash

[mushroom25]

The Devil went down to Georgia. He was lookin' for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind and he was willing to make a deal
When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot.
And the Devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said, "Boy, let me tell you what."

"I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player, too.
And if you'd care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you.
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the Devil his due.
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul 'cause I think I'm better than you."

The boy said, "My name's Johnny, and it might be a sin,
But I'll take your bet; you're gonna regret 'cause I'm the best there's ever been."

Charlie Daniels

[Arksided]

Johnny's always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Knows he tires easily

Johnny thinks the world would be right
If it could buy truth from him
Mary says he changes his mind
More than a woman
But she made her bed
Even when the chance was slim

Robert Palmer... plus many others have done covers.

[mushroom25]

There she goes and knows I'm dying
When she says, "Who is Johnny?"
Games with names that girl is playing
All she says is, "Who is Johnny?"

I try to understand because I'm people too
And playing games is part of human nature
My heart's in overdrive
It's great to be alive

"Who's Johnny?" she said
And smiled in her special way
"Johnny, " she said
"You know I love you"
"Who's Johnny?" she said
And tried to look the other way
Eyes gave her away, all right

She makes sure, I see her teasing
Hear her say, "Who is Johnny?"
There's no way to take this easy
Hear her say, "Who is Johnny?"

I really couldn't help but fall in love with her
Her being there has made my life worth living
I knew it from the start
That I would lose my heart

"Who's Johnny?" she said
And smiled in her special way...

Not now John, we've got to get on with the film show
(Gotta get on, gotta get on)
Hollywood waits at the end of the rainbow
(End of the rainbow)
Who cares what it's about as long as the kids go
(As long as the kids go)
So, not now John, we've gotta get on with the show
(Gotta get on, gotta get on)

Hang on John I've gotta get on with this
(Gotta get on, gotta get on)
Don't know what it is, but it fits on here like, sss
Come at the end of the shift, we'll go and get *issed
But not now John, I've gotta get on with this
(Gotta get on with this, gotta get on)

Big John
Big John

Ev'ry mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive
He stood six foot six and weighed 245
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
And everybody knew, ya didn't give no lip to Big John

Big Bad John
(Big John)

Jimmy Dean

Nobody seemed to know where John called home
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone
He didn't say much, he kinda quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all, he just said, "Hi" to Big John

[dustypuss]

Hez . One of my favourite songs.  As my first name  is ( BIG )

[Arksided]

When you hear a sound
That you just can't place
Feel something move
That you just can't trace
When something sits
On the end of your bed
Don't turn around
When you hear me tread

I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me

I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
It's criminal how I can
See right through you
John Deacon

👑Yes Freddie does actually say his name
