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

that would be shoe-shoe, the faux and the rabbi

but i gotta run, someone else post the next lyric

DAMN! WELL PLAYED! its xiu xiu though

ill take your turn for you haha

Haven't read the NME in so long
Don't know what genre we belong...

popular culture
no longer
applies to me

Really Bad Weekend
Art Brut
Album Bang Bang Rock & Roll


2 seconds on Google. Perhaps I'm missing the point of this game?

yup....google...i searched it...but since i had no clue wtf they were/who...i didnt post...haha


look this up

das efx
they want efx

then try to rap that....haha.... my favorite track form 93/94

See now, I knew the Art Brut one. No google required.

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

wow, way to look it up on google, thats real cool.

i dont know this song though


NO GOOGLE SEARCHING JERKS!

this is a complete guess...bob marley?

alright 207moak... no one got it...
or
everyone thinks this beautiful game it took me years to develop is crap...

we'll try one more time
no google


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

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...

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
paranoid android
ok computer

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

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...

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.

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.

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

ah, more radiohead: creep
