See How Far This Goes...

[Arksided]

Hi everyone the last one no longer appears in recent posts...

Many know how to play and new players are always welcome, 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.    

[maggiebee]

Mamma mia, here I go again
My, my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again
My, my, just how much I've missed you?

Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My, my, I could never let you go

Abba

[mushroom25]

I can't see you mama
But I can hardly wait
Ooh, to touch and to feel you mama
Oh, I just can't keep away
In the heat and the steam of the city
Oh, it's got me running and I just can't brake
So say you'll help me mama
'Cause it's getting so hard, oh!

Now, I can't keep you, mama
But I know you're always there
You listen, you teach me, mama
And I know inside you care
So get down, down here beside me
Oh, you ain't going nowhere
No, I won't hurt you mama
But it's getting so hard, oh!

Genesis (in which Phil Collins channels his inner ET.....)

[Arksided]

Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away

Mama, ooh
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

👑 No-one really knows what Freddie were on about... IMO the birth of Mr. Mercury.

[Hazlinny]

When sun went down I'll come back up I'll be countin' every hour
Till I'm back headin' south for sweet sweet magnolia flowers
This time tomorrow I'll be gone this time tomorrow I'll be gone
This time tomorrow I'll be gone this time tomorrow I'll be gone

Waylon Jennings

[Arksided]

Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

EJ. as always 😉

[Hazlinny]

Well, they said it changes when the sun goes down
Over the river, goin' out of town
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here, around here, oh

Arctic Monkeys

[Arksided]

Girl, come on over here
Let me hold you for a little while
And remember I'll always love you
Forever, everything changes but you
 

Take That.

[Hazlinny]

I'll remember you
Long after this endless summer has gone
I'll be lonely, oh, so lonely
Living only to remember you

Elvis          .................. that's if I remember😃

[Arksided]

When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of it all
Then I will tell them I remember you-ooh

I remember, too, a distant bell and stars that fell
Just like the rain out of the blue-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo

When my life is through

Frank I field. Hope you had agood day Hazi 😘

[Hazlinny]

The leaves of brown
Came tumbling down, remember
In September
In the rain

The sun went out just like a dying ember
That September
In the rain

To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed
To play a sweet refrain

Though spring is here
To me, it's still September
Ooh, that September
In the rain

Dinah Washington ......  u👁 ... a 9/10 day thanks 😊

[Arksided]

All the leaves are brown (All the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray (And the sky is gray)
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)
On a winter's day (On a winter's day)
I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm)
If I was in L.A. (If I was in L.A.)
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

Stopped in to a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees (Got down on my knees)
And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)
You know the preacher liked the cold (Preacher liked the cold)
He knows I'm gonna stay (Knows I'm gonna stay)
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

M&P. I do hope we don't end up on the streets of London again... always hated west ham. and not their fault.

[Ken4155]

The preacher looked at me and he smiled

Said, "Come and walk with me

Come and walk one more mile

Noe for once in your life you're alone

But you ain't got a dime

There's no time for the phone."

Arky, my interpretation of BoRap is that this is the time when Freddie began to realise that he was truly gay. It was only a year later when he 'fessed up to Mary Austin that he also liked men. To which she replied, "No, Freddie, you're gay."

[Arksided]

Yes I know that Ken, but to me he were saying goodbye to being Farrokh Bulsara and all it's religious twaddle. and becoming whom he wanted to be.

[Ken4155]

Yes Arky, but, as i'm sure you area ware, Freddie himself says that everyone will interpret the song as they see fit. There is no 'right' answer.

Both leaving his religion behind and coming out as gay would make his mam cry.

[Ken4155]

mama cry, not 'mam'. He wasn't from Burnley!

[Arksided]

You sit and wait
You hesitate
Just like you never been in love before
There's so much more

On your own
And though you feel alone
You are alive
Don't you know it's just another day?

Fragma.

Ken, yeah, one alternative reading of the first line is "Mama, just xxxxed a man".

Not sure the only top 10 hit in the last half-century to mention Beelzebub is letting go of religion, though.

[Arksided]

My last lyric is still pending... after the ins and outs of Lord Mercury
