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.

[Arksided]

I knew you meant Link.

It is actual lp 12" size I even took one out to be sure.

[Ken4155]

Beter get back to the music.............

 

Just call on me, brother

When you need a hand

We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'll understand

We all need somebody to lean on

Bill Withers

[maggiebee]

I'm leaning on a lamp, maybe you think I look a tramp,
Or you may think I'm hanging round to steal a car.
But no, I'm not a crook, and if you think that's what I look,
I'll tell you why I'm here and what my motives are.

I'm leaning on a lamppost at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady comes by,
Oh me, oh my, I hope the little lady comes by.
I don't know if she'll get away, she doesn't always get away,
But anyhow I know that she'll try,
Oh me, oh my, I hope that little lady comes by.

George Formby

From the very very young to the very very old
Everybody now say aye
From the centre of the earth to the corners of the globe
Everyone of you say aye
Nobody better let me down
We will see on the other side, lean on me

Red Box. One hit wonder 86'

[Hazlinny]

On the other side of the tracks
That is where I'm gonna be
On the other side
Of that great divide
Between fame and fortune and me
Gonna put my shadows behind me
Give my inhibitions the axe
And tomorrow morning you'll find me
On the other side of the tracks

Sarah Vaughan

[Canary42]

This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
Down in some lonesome valley
Hangin' from a white oak tree

 

Two very different renderings of Tom Dooley by ;-

The Kingston Trio

Lonnie Donnegan

[mushroom25]

On a mountain in Virginia
Stands a lonesome pine
Just below is the cabin home
Of a little girl of mine

Her name is June
And very, very soon
She'll belong to me
For I know she's waiting there for me
'Neath that lone pine tree

In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
On the trail of the lonesome pine
In the pale moonshine our hearts entwine
Where she carved her name and I carved mine

Oh, June - like the mountains are blue
Like the pine - I am lonesome for you
In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
On the trail of the lonesome pine

McDonald/Carroll, performed by many, most famously Stan & Ollie

// Red Box. One hit wonder 86' // - not quite, they had a further hit (a no10) with "For America".

[Hazlinny]

Lie down with me my dear, lie down
Under stormy night, tell nobody

My brother, where do you intend to go tonight?
I heard that you missed your connecting flight
To the Blue Ridge Mountains, over near Tennessee

You're ever welcome with me any time you like
Let's drive to the countryside, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes
So no one gets worried, no
So no one gets worried, no

Fleet Foxes

[Arksided]

Can't you see they're on the move
Don't know what you're trying to prove
But you sit there oh so cool
Like they never broke no rules

And the cat flies and the crow walks
And the ghost dies and the sow talks
And they tell us that they'll be good as gold
Be...'lieve nothing that you're told
Hey brother, where's your soul?

Supertramp. Yes Mushroom thanks for the correction, I think I've actually posted that song on one of these threads. 😎

[Hazlinny]

Hey brother
There's an endless road to rediscover
Hey sister
Know that water's sweet, but blood is thicker
Oh, if the sky comes falling down
For you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

Avicii

[Arksided]

Well, I got a little brother, several meters high
Yeah, his built just like a quarterback and he swears he'll testify
He says he's been to Texas and that's the only place to be
Big stakes, big girls, no trouble there
Yeah, that's the place for me

I'm gonna Texas, yeah-yeah
I'm gonna Texas, yeah-yeah
I'm gonna Texas

Chris Rea

[Hazlinny]

All my exes live in Texas
And Texas is a place I'd dearly love to be
But all my exes live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee

George Strait

[Arksided]

You had romance
Did you break it by chance
Over me?
If it's so I'd like for you to know
That I'm not worth it, you see

For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home

Paul Young

[Hazlinny]

Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
And I can't wait to get on the road again

Willie Nelson

[Arksided]

No, I can't wait
I can't wait another minute
For it all to begin
No, I can't wait
I can't wait another minute
So let your love come rushing in

I can't wait
I can't wait

Five Star

[Hazlinny]

So tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
So tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you

The Kinks

[Arksided]

What you drinking?
Rum or whiskey?
Now won't you have a
Double with me?

I'm sorry I'm a little late
I got your message by the way
I'm calling in sick today
So let's go out for old time's sake

Noisettes

[maggiebee]

I'm praying for rain in California
So the grapes can grow and they can make more wine
And I'm sitting in a honky in Chicago
With a broken heart and a woman on my mind

I matched the man behind the bar for the jukebox
And the music takes me back to Tennessee
And they asked who's the fool in the corner crying
I say a little ole wine drinker me

Dean Martin

[Arksided]

Now it's a mighty long way down the dusty trail
And the sun burns hot on the cold steel rails
'n I look like a bum 'n I crawl like a snail
All the way from Memphis

Mott the Hoople
