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

I'm afraid of the dark
'Specially when I'm in a park
And there's no one else around
Ooh, I get the shivers
I don't want to see a ghost
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo doo doo doo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo doo doo

I'm a superstitious girl
I'm the worst in the world
Never walk under ladders
I keep a rabbit's tail
I'll take you up on a dare
Anytime, anywhere
Name the place, I'll be there
Bungee jumping, I don't care...

Weekes/Sampson, performed by Des'ree

[Arksided]

No, you wont stop talkin'
Why don't you give it a rest?
You got more rabbit than Sainsbury's
It's time you got it off your chest

Now you was just the kind of girl to break my heart in two
I knew right off when I first clapped my eyes on you
But how was I to know you'd bend my earholes too
With your incessant talkin'?
You're becoming a pest

Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, rabbit
Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, rabbit
Yap, yap, yap, yap, rabbit, yap, yap, rabbit
Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, rabbit
Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, rabbit
Yap, yap, yap, yap, rabbit, yap, yap, rabbit
Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, rabbit

I don't belong here, said old Tessa, out loud

Easy love, there's the Safe Way home

Thankful for her Fine Fare discount, Tess co-operates

Still alone in o-Hell-o, see the deadly nightshade grow

 

Genesis

[Arksided]

Give me More reason's
To hold on to what we've got
There Must be a reason
To hold on to what we've got

Easy lover
She'll get a hold on you, believe it
Like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see

She's the kind of girl you dream of
Dream of keeping hold of
You'd better forget it
You'll never get it
She will play around and leave you
Leave you and deceive you
Better forget it
Oh, you'll regret it

No, you'll never change her, so leave it, leave it
Get out quick 'cause seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know, oh...

Collins & Bailey

[maggiebee]

Know it sounds funny
But I just can't stand the pain
Girl, I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me, girl
You know I've done all I can
You see, I begged, stole, and I borrowed, yeah, ooh

That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning

Commodores

[Arksided]

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but, boy, if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, heh, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song, and this one's for you

Get three coffins ready.
Huh? Ah!

Covered wagon, Medicine Show
Take you to a place where the healing flows, oh-ho
Weak in spirit we got the juice
Won't save your soul it'll shine your shoes, oh
Treated king to kangaroo
Santa Fe to Timbuktu, oh-ho
Don't be fooled by imitation
This is the stuff that cured a nation
We took the tube and the high plains too
Never stopped long just passing through
A drop of the laughter of the maids of France
Makes a hopeless cripple dance, oh

It was really vile weather
When we got tarred and feathered
You could hear the six-guns sound
As they chased us out of town

Big Audio Dynamite
Whoa-ho...

[maggiebee]

Three wheels on my wagon
And I'm still rolling along
The Cherokees are chasing me
Arrows fly
Right on by
But I'm singing a happy song

I'm singing a higgity, haggity, hoggety, high
Pioneers, they never say die
A mile up the road there's a hidden cave
And we can watch those Cherokees
Go galloping by

Dick Van Dyke

[mushroom25]

They took the whole Cherokee nation
Put us on this reservation
Took away our ways of life
The tomahawk and the bow and knife
Took away our native tongue
And taught their English to our young
And all the beads we made by hand
Are nowadays made in Japan

Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud to live
So proud to die

They took the whole Indian nation
Locked us on this reservation
Though I wear a shirt and tie
I'm still part redman deep inside

Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud to live
So proud to die....

Loudermilk, performed by Paul Revere and The Raiders

People who need people

Are luckiest people alive

 

[Moorea7]

I feel lucky, I feel lucky, Yeah. No Professor Doom gonna stand in my way. Mm, I feel lucky today. 🎲

Mary Carpenter

[mushroom25]

If you have a friend on whom you think you can rely - You are a lucky man! 

if you`ve found the reason to live on and not to die - You are a lucky man!

Preachers and poets And scholars don`t know it, Temples and statues And the steeples won`t show it, If you`ve got the secret Just try not to blow it -

Stay a lucky man!

[maggiebee]

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me

Randy Newman

[elliemay1]

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where, who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there

Someone's been eating my porridge," growled Daddy Bear. "Someone's been eating my porridge," said Mummy Bear. "Someone's been eating my porridge and it's all gone!" cried Baby Bear. 

 

Fairy Tale

[Arksided]

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That bring the bare necessities of life

The Jungle Book. 

Hmmm. A fairy Tale, a bit thin 🤔 benefit of doubt it may have been a song.

[Ken4155]

Try not to get worried

Try not to turn onto, problems that upset you

Don't you know

Everything's alright, yes everything's fine

And we want you to sleep well tonight

Let the world turn wihout you tonight

If we try, we'll get by, so forget all about us tonight

Tonight, we're painting this town red
Tonight, we legislate on blue
Tonight, we paint your mother green
Act out all our dreams and we'll celebrate me and you
Yeah we'll celebrate me and you
Tonight, with all things possible
Tonight, we'll fly beyond all cares
Tonight, we'll tear down all the walls, ride down waterfalls
And we'll celebrate me and you
Celebrate me and you
Across the skies, into the void, we'll disappear

RT.

[maggiebee]

Tonight, tonight
Won't be just any night,
Tonight there will be no morning star,

… We're gonna rock it tonight!
They're gonna get it tonight,
They began it,
They began it,
The began it.
We'll stop 'em once and for all.
The Sharks are gonna have their way,
The Sharks are gonna have their day,
We're gonna rock it tonight.
Tonight!
