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

[Arksided]

It's just the danger, danger
When you're riding at your own risk
She said, "You are the perfect stranger"
She said, "Baby, let's keep it like this"
It's just a cake walk, twisting baby
Yeah, step right up and say
"Hey Mister, give me two, give me two now
'Cause any two can play'

Dire Straits

[Hazlinny]

And leaning on your window sill, he'll say one day you caused his will
To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter
And then taking from his wallet an old schedule of trains, he'll say
"I told you when I came I was a stranger
I told you when I came I was a stranger
I told you when I came I was a stranger
I told you when I came I was a stranger"

Leonard Cohen

[Arksided]

Do you know what it is like
To be alone in this world
When you're down and out
On your luck and you're a failure
Wake up screaming
In the middle of the night
You think it's all been a waste of time
It's been a bad year
You start believing
Everything's gonna be alright
Next minute you're down
And you're flat on your back
A brand new day's beginning
Get that sunny feeling
And you're on your way

Just believe
Just keep passing the open windows
Just believe
Just keep passing the open windows

In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
Just call my name
I'm yours to tame
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
I'm wide awake
I crave your taste all night long
'Til morning comes
I'm getting what is mine
You gon' get yours, oh no, ooh
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night, oh

Elley Duhe

[Arksided]

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deep

I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross

Even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find what I've been looking for

Billy Joel

[Hazlinny]

I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found what I'm lookin' for
But I still haven't found what I'm lookin' for

U2

[Arksided]

You and I
Two of a kind
A meeting of minds
The time of our lives
The perfect night (The perfect night)
Out of sight
As I look in your eyes (Look in your eyes)
Never felt so right

I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you
I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you

It doesn't matter how far you've gone
Mercy says you don't have to keep running down the road you're on
Love's never met a lost cause
Your shame, lay it down
Leave your ghosts in the past 'cause you know that you can't go back
But you can turn around
You've never been more than

One step away from surrender
One step away from coming home, coming home
One step from arms wide open
His love has never let you go
You're not alone (not alone)
You're one step away
You're one step away

Casting Crowns

It doesn't hurt me (yeah, yeah, yo)
Do you wanna feel how it feels? (Yeah, yeah, yo)
Do you wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me? (Yeah, yeah, yo)
Do you wanna hear about the deal that I'm making? (Yeah, yeah, yo)

You
It's you and me

And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get Him to swap our places
Be runnin' up that road
Be runnin' up that hill
Be runnin' up that building
Say, if I only could, oh

Kate Bush

[Hazlinny]

Now you and me, babe, we may meet again,
And in the meanwhile, stay out of the rain.
But keep your nose dry
And give as a smile if you liked the show.

Now I want to tell you the pleasure really was mine.
Yes, I had a good time, singing and drinking some wine.
Though I may not be in your town,
You know that I can still be found
Right here on this record, spinning 'round, with the sounds.

For you and me, Emilio, they turned out the lights,
The violins stayed to wish you good night.
Me and the band-aid are reaching the end, so it's off we go.

Ringo Starr

[Arksided]

I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything is alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights
Sunny days, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong

Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning

Travis

[Hazlinny]

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know
It's been comin' for some time
When it's over, so they say
It'll rain a sunny day
I know
Shinin' down like water

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning very, very frightening me
(Galileo) Galileo
(Galileo) Galileo
Galileo Figaro
Magnifico-o-o-o-o

I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

👑

[Hazlinny]

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love

Whitney Houston

[Arksided]

Turn around
Look at what you see
In her face
The mirror of your dreams

Make believe I'm everywhere
Given in the light
Written on the pages
Is the answer to a neverending story
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha

Reach the stars
Fly a fantasy
Dream a dream
And what you see will be

Limahl

[Hazlinny]

I've got a never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have never ending love for you

New Seekers

[jno]

Then one night there's a scream in the night
And you'll wonder who could that have been
And you see me kinda grinnin' while I'm scrubbin'
And you say, "What's she got to grin?"
I'll tell you

There's a ship
The Black Freighter
With a skull on its masthead
Will be coming in

Pirate Jenny Nina Simone

[maggiebee]

I was a sailor
I was borne upon the tide
And with the sea, I did abide
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still

The Highwaymen (verse 2)

[Hazlinny]

When you've hit the ground
Put a little smile on your face
Life's not all rainy days
It ain't really that bad
(Yeah yeah yeah)
Wash your troubles away
Take a little moment to say
I'm living the good life

Chester See

[Arksided]

Why don't you take
Another little piece of my heart?
Why don't you take it
And break it and tear it all apart?
All I do is give and all you do is take
Baby, why don't you
Give me a brand-new start?

So let me live (so let me live)
Let me live (leave me alone)
Let me live, oh baby
And make a brand-new start

👑 Post Mercury from the Made in Heaven album, Freddie asked Brian, Roger and John just to keep writing lyrics and he'd sing them "and you can do whatever you want with them when I gone" That verse posted Freddie sang but the rest of the song was completed by Roger then Brian taking lead vocals for the last two verses.
