See How Far This Goes...

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

On the Sunday morning sidewalks, wishin' Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday, makes a body feel alone
And there's nothin' short of dyin', half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleepin' city side walks, Sunday mornin' comin' down 🙁

Kris Kristofferson

[Arksided]

I go out to work on Monday morning
Tuesday, I go off to honeymoon
I'll be back again before it's time for sunny-down
I'll be lazing on a Sunday afternoon

Bicycling on every Wednesday evening
Thursday, I go waltzing to the zoo
I come from London town
I'm just an ordinary guy
Fridays, I go painting in the Louvre

I'm bound to be proposing on a Saturday night
(There he goes again)
I'll be lazing on a Sunday
Lazing on a Sunday
Lazing on a Sunday afternoon

The tax man's taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
And I can't sail my yacht
He's taken everything I got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I got a big fat mama tryna break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon

In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

My girlfriend's run off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Tellin' tales of drunkenness and cruelty
Now I'm sittin' here
Sippin' at my ice cold beer
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon....

And left me in my stately home

Lazin' on a sunny afternoon

And i can't sail my yacht

He's taken everything i've got

Ha!

[Arksided]

Great minds eh... ^ 

You walk down the street
Your hips sway, yeah
Cars crash, traffic stops
I have to look away

Where you are in the world (it's a sunny day)
It's a sunny day (it's a beautiful, wonderful day) yeah
Oh yeah

I was walkin' down the street
Concentratin' on truckin' right
I heard a dark voice beside of me
And I looked round in a state of fright

I saw four faces, one mad
A brother from the gutter
They looked me up and down a bit
And turned to each other

I say
I don't like cricket (Oh no!)
I love it
I don't like cricket (No no!)
I love it

Don't you walk through my words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk through my words
'Cause you ain't heard me out yet

Well he looked down at my silver chain
He said "I'll give you one dollar"
I said you've got to be jokin' man
It was a present from me mother

He said "I like it, I want it
I'll take it off your hands
And you'll be sorry you crossed me
You'd better understand that you're alone
A long way from home...

Home, home again

I like to be here when I can

And when I come home cold and tired

It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

 

[maggiebee]

This is probably a sure way to get applause
But I was born in Brooklyn
And so coming back to New York is for me home again

Sometimes I wonder if I'm
Ever gonna make it home again
It's so far and out of sight
I really need someone to talk to
And nobody else
Knows how to comfort me tonight

Carole King

[Arksided]

Wow had to check but does still follow...

Hey, you say you won't, you can't give me any more love
Must say (you say) that you will (you will), you can forgive me, but I doubt it

You make me high (hey) when you talk on the phone
You know I gotta ring up your number when I know you ain't home

'Cause you gotta (hold on me, babe) hold on me, baby
Like a dog with a bone
Hey, hey, dog with a bone
Dog with a bone
(Let's go)

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house, we're born
Into this world, we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road, yeah

Girl, you gotta love your man
Girl, you gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Riders on the storm....

Deaf dumb and bind

You just keep on pretending

That everyone's expendable

And no-one has a real friend

And it seems to you the thing to do

Would be to isolate the winner

Everything's done under the sun

But you believe at heart, everyone's a killer

Ever since I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must've played 'em all
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall

That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!

The... ?

[Ken4155]

Juvenile tale, see the Titanic sail into Brighton

The Hemingway stacato, the tragic bravado can frighten

To be here, there and everywhere's fine

But do you have to be so swift all the time

Deliver the dawn to the Moulin Rouge on the horizon

Watch it tumbling down, tumbling down

Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel

 

[Ken4155]

Have to listen to it now;

 

&t=25s

 

[Hazlinny]

I know when night has gone
That a new world's born at dawn
I'll keep rolling along
Deep in my heart is a song
Here on the range I belong
Drifting along with the tumblin' tumbleweeds
Drifting along with the tumblin' tumbleweeds
Tumbleweeds, tumbleweeds
Tumble weeds

Eddy Arnold

Many times I tried to tell you
Many times I cried alone
Always I'm surprised how well you cut my feelings to the bone
Don't want to leave you really
I've invested too much time to give you up that easy
To the doubts that complicate your mind

We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together

Maybe it's a sign of weakness when I don't know what to say
Maybe I just wouldn't know what to do with my strength anyway
Have we become a habit? Do we distort the facts?
Now there's no looking forward
Now there's no turning back
When you say

We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together

Navarro/Lowen, performed by Pat Benatar

[Ken4155]

From the turning away

From the pale and downtrodden

Ad the words they say

Which we don't understand

Don't accept that what's happening

Is just a case of others suffering

Or you'll find that you're joining in

The turning away

Floyd

[Ken4155]

Before any PF fans take me to task, opening line should read; "On the turning away".

[mushroom25]

It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

Now the light fades out
And I wonder what I'm doing in a room like this
There's a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered you

So now I'm alone
Now I can think for myself
About little deals and S.U's
And things that I just don't understand
Like a white lie that night
Or a sly touch at times

I don't think it meant anything to you

So I open the door
It's the 'friend' that I'd left in the hallway
'Please sit down'
A candlelit shadow on a wall near the bed

You know I hate to ask
But are 'friends' electric?
Only mine's broke down

And now I've no-one to love..
