[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.

They're saying
"Mama never loved her much
And Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away
From human affection."
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
(And she'll say to him)
She's saying

I would fly to the moon and back
If you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world
Where we belong
So would you be my baby?

Savage Garden

[maggiebee]

I think I'm gonna be sad, I think it's today, yeah
The girl that's driving me mad is going away

She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care

The Beatles

[Arksided]

It was smellin' like a locker room
There was junk all over the floor
We're already packed in like sardines
But we're stoppin' to pick up more, look out

Another one rides the bus
Another one rides the bus
And another comes on and another comes on
Another one rides the bus
Hey, he's gonna sit by you, another one rides the bus

 "Weird Al" Yankovic

[maggiebee]

Ridin' along on my pushbike, honey
When I nowhere near you
Round down town, in a hurry honey
Now, I've got my sights on you
You look so pretty, she was ridin' along
You look so pretty, She was singing this song,'

Puttin' on speed, as I tried catchin' up but you
Were pedaling harder, too
Riding along like a hurricane, honey
Speeding afta you

Mungo Jerry

[Arksided]

I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bike
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my

Bicycle races are coming your way
So forget all your duties oh yeah!
Fat-bottomed girls they'll be riding today
So look out for those beauties oh yeah
On your marks get set go!

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!

Gilkyson, performed by Phil Harris (as Baloo the Bear)

[Arksided]

Underground, overground, wombling free
The wombles of Wimbledon Common are we
Making good use of the things that we find
Things that the everyday folks leave behind

Every day I look at the world from my window
(Sha-la-la) But chilly, chilly is evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine (Waterloo sunset's fine)

Millions of people
Swarming like flies 'round
Waterloo underground
But Terry and Julie
Cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound

And they don't need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
They are in paradise

Waterloo sunset's fine......

The Kinks

[maggiebee]

My, my
At Waterloo, Napoleon did surrender
Oh, yeah
And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way

The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself

Waterloo
I was defeated, you won the war

Waterloo
Promise to love you forevermore

Abba

[mushroom25]

I surrender to your heart babe
Do anything that you want me to do
Please be tender I'm in your hands girl
This is a feeling I never knew
You know I tried to make it on my own
That's not the way it was meant to be
Spend my time waiting by the phone
Oh darling come back to me

I surrender, I surrender
I'm giving up the role of pretender
Oh be tender, girl be tender
Can't you feel the love that I send you
I surrender.......

Ballard, hit version performed by Rainbow

[Hazlinny]

Oh-oh, yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretending that I'm doing well
My need is such, I pretend too much
I'm lonely, but no one can tell… 

The Platters, also Freddie Mercury

 

[mushroom25]

Ever so lonely
Ever so lonely without you
Ever so lonely
Sinking into your eyes
And all I see
Love is an ocean and you for me
Sinking into your eyes
Your eyes
Are all I see
Your love is an ocean
An ocean refuses no river
Ever so lonely.....

Coe, performed by Monsoon (Sheila Chandra)

[Hazlinny]

Only the lonely
Know the way I feel tonight
Only the lonely
Know this feeling ain't right

There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart

Roy Orbison

[mushroom25]

People in love get fast and foolish
People in love get everything wrong
People in love get scared and stupid
People in love get everything wrong

At least they're not lonely
At least they're not lonely
They'll never be lonely

B-b-b-b-b-baby, I think I'm going c-c-c-crazy
And why should I be sane without you?
They tell me to fight it, but they can bloody well just try it
I'll never be the same without you....

The Feeling

[Hazlinny]

I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore

Harry Nilsson

[mushroom25]

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave, it's like magic
Oh, rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin', it's magic

And you and your sweet desire
You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby)

It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a givin' thing
What a terrible thing to lose

I'm takin' a dive
Dive

Electric Light Orchestra

[Hazlinny]

I said upside down, you're turning me
You're giving love instinctively
'Round and 'round, you're turning me

Upside down
Boy, you turn me inside out
And 'round and 'round
Upside down
Boy, you turn me inside out
And 'round and 'round

Diana Ross

[Arksided]

Round, round baby, round, round
Spinin' out on me
I don't need no man
Got my kicks for free
An' we'll ride, still fired, on the beat down low
I don't need nobody got my honeys
When I go round, baby, round, round
Spinnin' out on me
I don't need no man
Got my kicks for free
 

Sugababes

Now look at them yo-yos, that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free

Dire Straits

[Arksided]

It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
And that's what gets results
