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.

As it was in the beginning then so should it end
Don't let a lover become just a friend
Oh no.
I made you a promise I vowed I would keep
The candle 's still burning the river runs deep

My love
Didn't you know
Didn't you feel
Couldn't you tell that it was real
Couldn't you tell that it was real.
I'll dedicate to you all my love my whole life through

I'll love you forever and ever ev'ry day ev'ry hour we share
I'll treasure you I swear I'll love you forever and ever.
What we joined together

Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be my dream
My symphony, my own lover's theme
Ever and ever, forever and ever my destiny
Will follow you eternally

Take me far beyond imagination
You're my dream come true, my consolation

Demis Roussos

[mushroom25]

I've been hearing symphonies
Before, all I heard was silence
A rhapsody for you and me
And every melody is timeless
Life was stringing me along
Then you came and you cut me loose
Was solo, singing on my own
Now I can't find the key without you

And now your song is on repeat
And I'm dancin' on to your heartbeat
And when you're gone, I feel incomplete
So, if you want the truth

I just wanna be part of your symphony
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Symphony
Like a love song on the radio
Will you hold me tight and not let go?

Clean Bandit

Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me
As before I went under
And it's peaceful in the deep
Cathedral where you cannot breathe
No need to pray, no need to speak
Now I am under all

And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go

Florence & The Machine

[mushroom25]

Makin' my way downtown, walkin' fast
Faces pass and I'm homebound
Starin' blankly ahead, just makin' my way
Makin' a way through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight.....

Vanessa Carlton

[Hazlinny]

But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand
Miles to fall down at your door

The Proclaimers

[mushroom25]

It was a night like this forty million years ago
I lit a cigarette, picked up a monkey skull to go
The sun was spitting fire, the sky was blue as ice
I felt a little tired, so I watched Miami Vice

I walked the dinosaur
I walked the dinosaur

Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody walk the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody walk the dinosaur.....

Was (not Was)

[Hazlinny]

You're singin' a song about makin' love to your drummer
Well, gay guitar pickers don't turn me on
And we don't all get into Donna Summer
Do you happen to know any ol' Hank Williams songs?
'Cause you see I'm a dinosaur
I should have died out a long time before
Have pity on a dinosaur
Hand me my hat, excuse me man, but where's the door?

Hank Williams, Jr

[mushroom25]

Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty-two
Guitar pickers in Nashville
And they can pick more notes than the number of ants
On a Tennessee anthill
Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty-two
Guitar cases in Nashville
And any one that unpacks his guitar could play
Twice as better than I will

Yeah, I was just thirteen, you might say I was a
Musical proverbial knee-high
When I heard a couple new-sounding tunes on the tubes
And they blasted me sky-high
And the record man said every one is a Yellow Sun
Record from Nashville
And up North there ain't nobody buys them
And I said, "But I will"

And it was
Nashville cats play clean as country water
Nashville cats play wild as mountain dew
Nashville cats been playin' since they's babies
Nashville cats get work before they're two

The Lovin' Spoonful

[Hazlinny]

I met you when I had a dream
Not so long ago, it seems
We closed down a million bars
Yeah, you and me, we've come so far
You showed me how to write a song
We wrote some right, we wrote some wrong
I was down and out, you let me in
At times you were my only friend

So long, Nashville, Tennessee
You can't have what's left of me
And as far as I can tell
It's high time, I wish you well
You build me up, you set me free
You tore down my memories
So you be you and I'll be me
So long, Nashville, Tennessee

Chris Stapleton

I Have a Dream, a fantasy
To help me through, reality
And my destination, makes it worth the while
Pushin' through the darkness, still another mile

I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream, I Have a Dream
I'll cross the stream, I Have a Dream

Abba

[Hazlinny]

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate?
And do they know the places where we go
When we're grey and old?
'Cause I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold

So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

Robbie

[mushroom25]

Hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's comin' in, 12:30 flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

I stopped an old man along the way
Hopin' to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothin' that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had, ooh-hoo

Toto

[Arksided]

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think, I still was a madman
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say

Carry on, my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Kansas

[mushroom25]

Searching for a destiny that's mine
There's another place, another time
Touching many hearts along the way, yeah
Hoping that I'll never have to say

It's just an illusion (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah)
Illusion (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah)
Illusion

Follow your emotions anywhere
Is it building magic in the air?
Never let your feelings get you down
Open up your eyes and look around

It's just an illusion (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah)
Illusion (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah)
Illusion

Jolley/Swain, performed by Imagination

I've been told 'bout living like a star
Hotel Rich, champagne and caviar
But no one ever showed me the reverse
And that really hurts, babe, it really hurts
They try to sell your body and your soul
It's the price you pay for rock'n roll
And no one understands it, how you feel
For it's so unreal, oh, it's so unreal

Baby, don't you cry for me
It's an illusion, just an illusion
I thought I knew what life should be
It's an illusion, just an illusion

Julia Zahra

[mushroom25]

Here's a little bit of advice
You're quite welcome, it is free
Don't do nothing that is cut price
You know what that'll make you be
They will try their tricky device
Trap you with the ordinary
Get your teeth into a small slice
The cake of liberty

Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll (aw, aw!)

She keeps Moët et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
"Let them eat cake," she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy (Ooh, ooh)
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline (Ooh, ooh)

Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

She's a killer...

👑... and it does follow just.

[Hazlinny]

That girl is a killer, killer, killer
She'll hit you in a run
Girl is just a killer, killer
I know she's only in it for the fun
I'm barely breathing on the floor, still begging her for more
Oh what a sweet way to die
Oh that girl is a killer, killer
See ya on the other side

I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn
