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

[Canary42]

For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there

 

Scott McKenzie

[Hazlinny]

I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care

Tony Bennett

[maggiebee]

Tell me, Captain Strange, do you feel my devotion
Or are you like a droid, devoid of emotion
Encounters one and two are not enough for me
What my body needs is close encounter three

I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Flashing lights in hyper space
Fighting for the Federation
Hand in hand we'll conquer space

Sarah Brightman

 

[Canary42]

Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?

 

Acker Bilk

[Arksided]

People are strange
When you're a stranger
Faces look ugly
When you're alone

The Doors. Echo and the Bunnymen did a great cover. Perfect for the Film 'The lost boys' soundtrack. 80's Vampire movie.

"I don't know you

I don't know you"

If we tried to retrace

Would it show on my face? 🙎‍♀️

And remind you

I don't mind you

The Marias

 

[1ozzy]

Getting to know you, getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you, getting to hope you like me.
Getting to know you, putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,
My cup of tea.

Julie Andrews

[Moorea7]

And I like cream in my coffee 🍵

And I like to sleep so late on Sunday

And nobody knows me like my baby

Lyle Lovett

[mushroom25]

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

Why in the world would anybody put chains on me, yeah?
I've paid my dues to make it
Everybody wants me to be
What they want me to be
I'm not happy when I try to fake it, no, ooh

That's why I'm easy (yeah)
 

Ritchie, performed by the Commodores

[Hazlinny]

I'm not gon' lie to you, I miss you so much
Tell me what I did wrong to lose touch?
I'm not gon' lie to you, this has been a hard year
How I wish that you were here

I just need to let it go, waitin' on a miracle
Guess that's just the way it goes, easy come, easy go
I just need to let it go, turn it down and lay low
It's just the way it goes, easy come, easy go

Imagine Dragons

[mushroom25]

Standing in line, marking time
Waiting for the welfare dime
'Cause they can't buy a job
The man in the silk suit hurries by
As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes
Just for fun he says, "get a job"

That's just the way it is
Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is
Ah, but don't you believe them

Said, "Hey little boy, you can't go where the others go
'Cause you don't look like they do"
Said, "Hey old man, how can you stand
To think that way?
Did you really think about it
Before you made the rules?"

He said, "Son
Well, that's just the way it is
Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is
Ah, but don't you believe them"

Bruce Hornsby

[Hazlinny]

You and I
Sacrificed my adolescence
Just to waste my time
On the edges of your life
But we've grown too close
Now it can't amount to nothing
I can hear your voice
In the music on the radio

And it goes

On and on and on
Like a never-ending song
On and on
Like a never-ending song

Conan Gray

[mushroom25]

Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind!
Like a tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving in a half forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind!

Bergman/Legrand, performed by Noel Harrison

[Canary42]

Riding along on a carousel, trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel, will I catch up to you?

 

The Hollies

[mushroom25]

You grew up riding the subways, running with people
Up in Harlem, down on Broadway
You're no tramp, but you're no lady, talkin' that street talk
You're the heart and soul of New York City

And love, love is just a passing word
It's the thought you had in a taxi cab that got left on the curb
When he dropped you off and he stated firm

Oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh)
You're a native New Yorker
You should know the score by now (you should know by now)
You're a native New Yorker

(New York, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Music plays, everyone's dancin' closer and closer
Makin' friends and findin' lovers
There you are lost in the shadows, searchin' for someone (searchin' for someone)
To set you free from New York City

And, whoa, where did all those yesterdays go
When you still believed love could really be like a Broadway show
You are the star, win the applause

Oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh)
You're a native New Yorker....

Randell/Linzer, performed by Frankie Valli, and Odyssey

[Arksided]

Music is playing in the darkness
And a lantern goes swinging by
Shadows flickering, my heart's jittering
Just you and I
Not tonight, come tomorrow
When everything's sunny
And bright (sunny and bright)
No, no, no, come tomorrow
'Cause then we'll be
Waiting for the moonlight

👑

[maggiebee]

Give me the moonlight
Give me the girl
And leave the rest to me
Give me a shady nook
By a babbling brook
Where no one can see
Give me a bench for two
Where we can bill and coo
And mine she's gonna be
If there's anyone in doubt
And they'd like to try me out
Give me the moonlight
Well - give me the girl
And leave the rest to me

Frankie Vaughan

[Arksided]

You take my hand and give me your friendship
I'll take my time and send you my slow reply
Give me an inch, and I'll make the best of it
Take all you want and leave all the rest to die
Reap the wild wind

Ultravox

[Hazlinny]

Take my hand, I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland, a stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed, that's a danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside a devil like you

Tony Bennett

[mushroom25]

Once again, I find myself with my friends
Dancing the night away, it's like the party never ends
Then again we don't want it to stop, coz tonight's the night it goes sweat box
Laser beams, flashing lights, wild cards, men from Mars, dressed in Stars and stripes
Eclectic, electric, ladies of the evening, drinking booze and mingling
Mashing to the music, I can do anything
Freaky Dicky star speckles and pink butterflies and life is nice, so nice
I walk into a club and I've found paradise, I'm seeing stars, I can't believe my eyes

Oh my starry eyed surprise, sundown to sunrise
I dance all night, we're gonna dance all night, dance all night to this DJ
Ah Sugar, dance all night to this DJ
Oh my starry eyed surprise, sundown to sunrise
Dance all night, we're gonna dance all night, dance all night to this DJ
Ah Sugar, dance all night to this DJ, dance all night to this DJ
Lover dance all night to this DJ....
