ONE PERSON AT A TIME posts a song lyric. When someone gets the song its from and/or whatever else the lyric poster requests (album odd background information etc.) the person who answers correctly gets to post the next lyric and question.
it will be fun, and we'll get to see some interesting lyrics im sure!
ill start with one of my favorite songs of recent times...
give me the band and album
I like people who are wrong
could you then feel like I do
Colossus bestrides the haves and have nots
go softly this is being sung for you
wake up wake up
the wish you made is plucked
go out get up
you've done enough enough
wake up wake up
to take the time to cuss
go out get up
you've seen enough enough
Here's an older favorite: (try answering without google)
You can't sell me incense
My world smells good enough to eat
So let's not eat, just smell the good and longing
Not owning
We'll circle like insects
Incensing the grieve liquored herd
Have you heard an encouraging word from them
It was the spring of 19 and 46,
when old Dad Burns
came back down to Harlen County Kentucky
He'd been in the Pacific
fightin with McArthur.
when he got back,
he took him a little trip down to Alabama
to visit with a sailor he'd met
name of Dave Hill
and do a little fishin
while he was down there
met the prettiest little girl he ever laid eyes on
that was Dave's little sister Augusta
everybody called her Au
He looked at her and said, Au...Heck
one of these days I'm going to change your name to Au Burn
Well sure enough he did...
woot steven is on the ball... if 207moak is still around... think you should try another one... i liked the fact you put a jawbreaker lyric up and since no one got yours, try again, maybe a little less abstract?
her doorbell plays a bar of stephen foster
her sister never left and look what it cost her
we're gonna live in nashville, and i'll make a career
out of writing sad songs and getting paid by the tear
and if you're going to google and cheat, track the song down too. it's good.
Transport, motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people clinging on to bottles
And when it comes it's so so disappointing
Tyler is also the name of a great song by the Toadies, who are from Ft. Worth. They sing the song Possum Kingdom which is about the lake where I always go, ironically called Possum Kingdom.
Actually lots of great bands came out of texas. And some that are not so great but happen to be famous. Off the top of my head:
Buddy Holly
Willie Nelson
Roy Orbison
Stevie Ray Vaughn
ZZ Top
Pantera
Butthole Surfers
The Mars Volta
Tripping Daisy
Bowling for Soup
Spoon
The Toadies
Waylon Jennings
I'm sure there's more, but that's off the top of my head.
someone better get this quick or my faith in archinectors will be lost!
artist, song name, title
---- When you were here before,
couldn't look you in the eye.
You're just like an angel,
your skin makes me cry.
You float like a feather,
in a beautiful world
official 'guess the lyrics' game

Growing out my hair
like it was when I was single
it was longer than I've known you
I had no money then
I had no worries then at all
...Such a high standard of living
I just feel like I am dying
I start an argument
but you can barely even talk
Here's the answer
Artist: Jawbreaker
Album: Dear You
Song Title: Bonus Track

this is apparently a difficult game to understand... oh well
i understand the game. i'm waiting for a lyric i recognize so i can post my lyric.
woot steven is on the ball... if 207moak is still around... think you should try another one... i liked the fact you put a jawbreaker lyric up and since no one got yours, try again, maybe a little less abstract?
"you wear nothing, but you wear it soo well"
alright i dont even like dave mathews but i know thats from crash
wohoo! 800
so it's your turn again, lletdownl.
haha dave is correct
alright, here we go
Everything that keeps us together
is falling apart
I got this thing that i consider my only art
of fucking people over
modest mouse - 3rd planet!
ok:
her doorbell plays a bar of stephen foster
her sister never left and look what it cost her
we're gonna live in nashville, and i'll make a career
out of writing sad songs and getting paid by the tear
and if you're going to google and cheat, track the song down too. it's good.
ok, new one...
that was
3rd planet
modest mouse
moon and antartic
someone else post one
when i am king you will be first against the wall
with your opinion which is of no consequence
radiohead

ok computer
Transport, motorways and tramlines

And when it comes it's so so disappointing
ha ha, yeah, too easy.
damn lletdownl, i haven't guessed one of yours!
i just googled it, ha ha, i should have known that one!
lllllllllletdown (one of my fav rh tunes)
we're simply the best band in the whole damn land
and texas is the reason
alright feel free to put the answer and do another
i did
(and it's non-googleable, i checked)
actually it is googleable damn you google!
shiii i fell like i know this one... it will come...
eh... maybe im just kidding myself here...
yeah... had no idea
though i have a very close friend from denton
this band is from denton - no longer around, though
isnt eisley from denton?
never heard of eisley ..
i think the band is too obscure
it's lift to experience
these are the days
jump to 3:10 for the lyrics part
new tune, more relevant:
Baby your mind is a radio
Got a reciever inside my head
Baby Im tuned to your wavelength
Lemme tell you what it says:
Nah. Eisley is from Tyler. Close geographically, though
tyler! yes, tahts it... my friends are from tyler... not denton...
plus i dont know that lyric...

I'm sure there's more, but that's off the top of my head.
easy one:
your lips are moving
i cannot hear
your voice is soothing
but the words aren't clear
you don't sound different
i've learned the game...
Beatles - I'm looking through you
yay! fast, too. your turn.
