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

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

If you wanted that star that shines so brightly
To match the stardust in your eye
Darling, I would chase that bright star nightly
And try to steal it from the sky
And I would bring

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

If you wanted a king to keep you smiling
I'd tell the sandman you were blue
And I'd ask him to keep that sand a-piling
Until your dreams had all come true
And I would bring

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so..

Pomus/Schuman, performed by The Drifters, The Searchers and CJ Lewis

[Arksided]

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky (Sky)
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long I'd probably break down and cry

Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet child o' mine
Whoa, oh-oh-oh! Sweet love of mine

If you wanted that star that shines so brightly
To match the stardust in your eye
Darling, I would chase that bright star nightly
And try to steal it from the sky
And I would bring

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

[Arksided]

erm.. yes Hazi... I'll follow with a different one from yours than I did from Mushrooms' ☝

You gotta squeeze a little, squeeze a little
Tease a little more
Easy operator come a knockin' on my door
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah, yeah
Give a little more

Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon, fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough

Def Leppard

[Hazlinny]

Don't want no sugar in my coffee

Makes me mean, it makes me mean

I don't want no sugar in my coffee

Makes me mean 🤘

Big Sugar

Ooh - caught out not scrolling ..  naughty me 🤘

[1ozzy]

Honey, ah sugar sugar
You are my candy girl
And you've got me wanting you
 

[Arksided]

Candy girl, you are my world
You look so sweet, you're my special treat
Candy girl, all I want to say
When you're with me you brighten up my day

New Edition. Inc a youthful Bobby Brown... yes that one. 83'

[1ozzy]

In Candy's room, there are pictures of her heroes on the wall
But to get to Candy's room, you gotta walk the darkness of Candy's hall

The Boss,,

[Arksided]

It's 'orrible being in love when you're eight 'n 'arf.
I got your picture on me wall
Got your name upon me scarf
Oh it's 'orrible being in love, 'orrible being in love when you're eight 'n 'arf.

Claire and Friends

[mushroom25]

Clair, the moment I met you, I swear
I felt as if something, somewhere
Had happened to me
Which I couldn't see

And then, the moment I met you again
I knew in my heart that we were friends
It had to be so
It couldn't be no

But try as hard as I might do, I don't know why
You get to me in a way, I can't describe
Words mean so little when you look up and smile
I don't care what people say
To me you're more than a child
Oh, Clair
Clair

Clair, if ever a moment so rare
Was captured for all to compare
That moment is you
In all that you do
But why in spite of our age difference do I cry?
Each time I leave you, I feel I could die

Nothing means more to me than hearing you say
"I'm going to marry you"
"Will you marry me, Uncle Ray?"
Oh, Clair...

Gilbert o' Sullivan

[Hazlinny]

The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction
A real big spender
Good looking, so refined
Say, wouldn't you like to know
What's goin' on in my mind?
So let me get right to the point:
I don't pop my cork for every man I see
Hey, big spender
Spend a little time with me

Shirley Bassey

[maggiebee]

Spending my time
Watching the days go by
Feeling so small
I stare at the wall
Hoping that you
Think of me too
I'm spending my time

Roxette

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"
And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife"

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was.....

Talking Heads

[maggiebee]

I've been holding on to everything I know for way too long
Found a comfortable position where I feel like I belong
Built a wall so no one sees the things I could be doing wrong

Now every mirror that I cross is showing me somebody else
The one who got it all looks different
Than the one who needs some help
It's getting kinda hot in here, in this self created hell

I need to change my ways before it's too late

I don't have time to catch my breath
I need a way out of this mess
I'm looking for clues on who I am
Need to find myself again

Blanks

[mushroom25]

It's crazy but I'm frightened by the sound of the telephone, oh yeah
I'm worried that the caller might have awful news, oh my
Who knows these days where on Earth the money goes? Oh yeah
No doubt we could put it to a better use, oh my

You keep insisting that nobody showed you how to keep relationships, oh yeah
Your daddy made a real good try, oh my
You said you knew all along we could work it out, oh yeah
Do you have to make a fuss every time we fly?

Ooh I'm looking for clues

I'll have to make an effort now just to be serious, oh yeah
Nobody's gonna give you the benefit of the doubt, oh my
Every time I pick a paper up it's harder to believe the news, oh yeah
I'm gonna have to shake it up and twist and shout, oh my

You can't do nothing that you don't put your mind to, oh yeah
I suspected all along you were a dream come true, oh my
I'm never in the dark 'cause my heart keeps me well informed, oh yeah
I'm convinced that there's a way of getting through to you

Ooh I'm looking for clues....

You thought that it would be easy

From the very start

Now i've found you out

I don't think you're so smart

I only have one more question

Before my time is through

Please, i beg you, tell me

In the name of Hell

Who are you?

Who are you?

Sabbath

[Arksided]

Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start

(as a known scientist it would be a bit surprising if a girl blinded me with science...)

It's poetry in motion
She turned her tender eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
But she blinded me with science
(She blinded me with science!)
And failed me in biology, hey (huh, huh, huh)

Huh, huh
When I'm dancing close to her
(Blinding me with science, science)
(Science!)
I can smell the chemicals
(Blinding me with science, science)
(Science!)

Now, but it's poetry in motion
When she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
Sweet as any harmony
She blinded me with science
(She blinded me with science)
Failed me in geometry

When she's dancing next to me
(Blinding me with science, science)
(Science)
I can hear machinery
(Blinding me with science, science)
(Science!)

[Hazlinny]

Tap your feet
Keepin' time to a beat
Of a song
While you're singing along
Harmonize
With the rest of the guys
Yes, try as you may
You just can't get away
From mathematics!

Tell me what makes you weary

Tell me what lights up your eyes

I’ll meet you there in the middle

We’ll lay down and harmonize

 

Tell me what makes you peaceful

Tell me what you fantasize

I’m taking notes in the moonlight

We’ll lay down and harmonize
