[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 first poster has free choice for an opening song lyric of this 'new' thread.

Pale blinds drawn all day
Nothing to do, nothing to say
Blue, blue

I will sit right down (waiting for the gift of sound and vision)
And I will sing (waiting for the gift of sound and vision)

Drifting into my solitude

David Bowie

[mushroom25]

Solitude stands by the window
She turns her head as I walk in the room
I can see by her eyes she's been waiting
Standing in the slant of the late afternoon

And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame

Solitude stands in the doorway
And I'm struck once again by her black silhouette
By her long cool stare and her silence
I suddenly remember each time we've met

And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame

And she says "I've come to set a twisted thing straight"
And she says "I've come to lighten this dark heart"
And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
And I say "I've never thought of finding you here"

I turn to the crowd as they're watching
They're sitting all together in the dark in the warm
I wanted to be in there among them
I see how their eyes are gathered into one

And then she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame....

Suzanne Vega

[Hazlinny]

She's Ambition
Only She Can Tell Me What To Do
She's Conviction
And We're The Only Ones That Can Break It Down
Everyone Can See Her Coming
Nobody Will Lay The Blame
Baby's Wearing Clothes Today
It's All Over
Everyone Couldn't See It Coming
We Have Got To Pay The Price
It's In The Rhythm Of A Heartbeat
That Takes The Chill Out Of The Cool Breeze
It's The Wonder Of Her Skin
That Brings The Fever From Within
It's In The Rhythm Of A Heartbeat
That Takes The Chill Out Of The Cool Breeze
It's The Wonder Of Her Skin
That Brings The Fever From Within

Chapterhouse

[Arksided]

The night's alive with wind and fire
We telegraph our heart's desire
Through the night with our eyes
Wheels are turnin' fast and hard
Hearts are burnin' on the boulevard
Hear them pound young and proud
It's the American heartbeat
Chart the stars, head out for the action
Hit the streets and find some satisfaction

Survivor

[Hazlinny]

When I'm watchin' my TV

And a man comes on and tells me

How white my shirts can be

But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke

The same cigarettes as me

I can't get no, oh, no, no, no

Hey, hey, hey, that's what I say

I can't get no satisfaction

I can't get no girl reaction

'Cause I try, and I try, and I try, and I try

I can't get no, I can't get no satisfaction

Rolling Stones

[mushroom25]

Over by the window
There's a pack of cigarettes
Not my brand, you understand
Sometimes the girl forgets

She forgets to hide them
I know who left those smokes behind
She'll say, "Oh, he's just a friend"
And I'll say, "Oh, I'm not blind to
Him, him, him"

What's she gonna do about him?
She's gonna have to do without him
Or do without me, me, me
No one gets to get it for free
It's me or it's him

Don't know what he looks like
Don't know who he is
Don't know why, she thought that I
Would say what's mine is his

I don't want to own her
But I can't let her have it both ways
Three is one too many of us
She leaves with me, or stays with
Him, him, him

What's she gonna do about him?...

Rupert Holmes

[Arksided]

Standing at the window
A farmer's wife in Oxfordshire
Glances at the clock it's nearly time for tea
She doesn't see
The phantom in the hedgerow dip its wings
Doesn't hear the engine sing

But the cockpit's techno glow
Behind the Ray-Ban shine
The kid from Cleveland
In the comfort of routine
Scans his dials and smiles
Secure in the beauty of military life

There is no right nor wrong
Only tin cans and cordite and white cliffs
And blue skies and flight, flight, flight
Thе beauty of military life
No questions, only ordеrs and flight, only flight

Roger Waters

[maggiebee]

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
And let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me

Fill my heart with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

Frank Sinatra & Count Basie

[mushroom25]

Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
If you can use some exotic booze, there's a bar in far Bombay
Come on and fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru
In llama land, there's a one man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come on fly with me, let's take off in the blue

Once I get you up there, where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there, I'll be holding you so near
You may hear all angels cheer because we're together

Weather wise, it's such a lovely day
Just say the words and we'll beat the birds down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away...

Van Heusen/Cahn, performed by Sinatra

[Arksided]

Going loco down in Acapulco
If you stay too long
Yes, you'll be going loco down in Acapulco
The magic down there is so strong

Feel the pressure
Your back's against the wall
Love is gaining on you
You're just about to fall
If you're afraid to love
Afraid to take a chance
You better hide your feelings
Get out while you can

The Four Tops. Co written with Phil Collins who plays drums on on the track for the film Buster.

[mushroom25]

Breathe the pressure
Come play my game, I'll test ya
Psychosomatic, addict, insane
Breathe the pressure
Come play my game, I'll test ya
Psychosomatic, addict, insane
Come play my game
Inhale, inhale, you're the victim
Come play my game
Exhale, exhale, exhale

Breathe the pressure
Come play my game, I'll test ya
Psychosomatic, addict, insane
Breathe the pressure
Come play my game, I'll test ya
Psychosomatic, addict, insane
Come play my game
Inhale, inhale, you're the victim
Come play my game
Exhale, exhale, exhale

Come breathe with me
Breathe with me....

The Prodigy

[Hazlinny]

Won't open my mouth
You know what I'll say
It hurts me that it's gotta be this way
I can no longer hide
God knows I've tried
I held on as long as I could

Lene Marlin
If I could change it I would
This is the way I am
And this is what I do
I cry my tears
But they're not for you
Playing a game
I know you've done too
I shouldn't have waited
But still it is all the same
'Cause you know
I'm just playing my game

 

[Arksided]

Open up your mind and let me step inside
Rest your weary head and let your heart decide

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)

[Hazlinny]

La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da
La-da-da, da-da da, da-dee
Gonna talk 'bout you and me
Oh, and the games people play
I wonder can you come out and play?
Early in the mornin', woah yes
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play now

Joe South

Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane
Jane plays with Willy, Willy is happy again
Suki plays with Leo, Sacha plays with Britt
Adolf builds a bonfire, Enrico plays with it

Whistling tunes
We hide in the dunes by the seaside

Whistling tunes
We're kissing baboons in the jungle
It's a knockout

If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers
War without tears
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers
War without tears
Games without frontiers
War without tears

Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières

Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in treetops, shouting out rude names..

Peter Gabriel

[Hazlinny]

Well
You know you make me wanna shout
Look, my hand's jumping
Look, my heart's thumping
Throw my head back
Come on now

Don't forget to say you will
Yeah, don't forget to shout
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Lulu

[mushroom25]

Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on

Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on

In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really, really ought to know

Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to jump for joy

Shout....

Tears for Fears

[Hazlinny]

I was born in a crossfire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the drivin' rain
But it's all right now
In fact, it's a gas
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash

Rolling Stones
It's a gas, gas, gas

[mushroom25]

There she stood in the street
Smiling from her head to her feet
I said hey, what is this
Now baby, maybe she's in need of a kiss
I said hey, what's your name baby
Maybe we can see things the same
Now don't you wait or hesitate
Let's move before they raise the parking rate

All right now baby, it's all right now
All right now baby, it's all right now

I took her home to my place
Watching every move on her face
She said look, what's your game baby
Are you tryin' to put me in shame
I said slow don't go so fast
Don't you think that love can last
She said love, Lord above
Now you're tryin' to trick me in love

All right now baby, it's all right now....

FRaser/Rodgers, performed by Free

[Hazlinny]

It's alright, baby's coming back
And I don't really care where he's been, no
It's alright, baby's coming back
And I won't turn him around this time, no, no, no

I'll be your cliff (you can fall down from me)
I'll be your ledge (you can lean upon me)
I'll be your bridge (your flowering tree)
You can still depend on me
And I'll be (the ticking of your clock)
And I'll be (the numbers on your watch)
And I'll be (your hands to stop the time)
I'll even be your danger sign

Eurythmics
