Good Year for the Roses - Elvis Costello. Thank gawd I got one .Was beginning to think I'd have to reveiw my musical tastes!

 

 

 

Don't look so sad I know it's over

But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning.

Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together.

There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning.

 

(This one just popped into my head)

For The Good Times - Elvis Prestley

 

"Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move

Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.

Ah, ah, child, way you shake that thing

Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.

Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way

Watch your honey drip, can't keep away."

Beat up strangers who talk funny

Take there greasy foreign money"

Elvis Costello - Sunday's Best.

 

"It's so deluded give it up

Believe...

It's unoriginal

Belive...

Find out exactly what is meant

to be abducted in between

another moment documents

The feeling what you got, what could have been."

The other night I dreamt of knives, continental

Drift divide. Mountains sit in a line, Leonard

Bernstein. Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester

Bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You

Symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right

REM- end of the world as we know it

 

i watch how the moon sit is the sky on a dark night

shining with the light from the sun

and the sun doesn't give its light to the moon assuming

the moon's gonna owe it one

it makes me think of how you act with me

you do favours then rapidly

just turn round and start asking me

about things that you want back from me

 

i'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger

sick of you acting like i owe you this

find another place to feed your greed

while i find a place to rest

Linkin Park's, "A Place For My Head"

 

And yes, I cheated in order to get the thread moving.

 

My go:

 

'You have never been in love,

Until you've seen the sunlight thrown

over smashed human bones'

 

 

Something uplifting for a Sunday night . . .

Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.

Though this feeling I can't change.

But please don't take it badly,

'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame.

Ah, took me a while but that is Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd (spelling?), it was on the tip of my tongue for ages. It's on just about every rock compilation ever made!

 

 

How about:-

 

Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete,

Oh, Feelin' maybe he'll see a little better, set a days, ooh yeah

Oh, hand out, faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar, oh yeah

Oh, dark grin, he can't help, when he's happy looks insane, oh yeah

 

Cheat if you have to! If you know me, you might get it!

Sounds like 'Eton rifles' to me... but didn't we have it before??

 

Hows about this EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASY one...

 

Well, I left my job in my home town

And I headed for the smoke

Gotta rock and roll band and a fast right hand

Gonna make it to the top - no nothing's gonna stop us (no nothing)

But i got a mamma, who's a hummer

she's keeping me alive

While I'm in the band going drinkin' with the boys

she's working nine to five

(she knows her place that woman! :o;):devil::devil: )

And I've got patches

On the patches

Of my old blue jeans

Well they used to be blue

when they used to be new

When they used to be clean

I got holes in my shoes

I got holes in my teeth

I got holes in my socks

I can't get no sleep

and i'm tryin' to make a million...............

 

 

 

(They might not be in the right order BTW :lol::lol: )

Of course, the late great John Peel's favourite track - Teenage Kicks by the Undertones.

 

Back to you ...

 

Harmful elements in the air

symbols clashing everywhere

Reaps the fields of rice and reeds

while the population feeds

Junk floats on polluted water

an old custom to sell your daughter

Would you like number 23?

Leave your yens on the counter please

 

Hmm, feeling quite hungry ....

Bob Marley...can't remember the name of the track! :lol:

 

OK...

 

How can it be?

I can taste you now

How can I see

When you're everything

 

All the world in one grain of sand

And I've blown it

All my world in one grain of sand

And you own it

 

(Missing this bit out, 'cos it will give you the title! :lol: )

 

Hearing you say it

I could die

Trembling star

Just reminds me

 

Excite me, ignite me

Oh and you know

I miss you, I kiss you

Oh and you know...

goldfrapp- black cherry

 

now for something a bit more tricky...

 

The I.V. and your hospital bed

This was no accident

This was a therapeutic chain of events

 

This is the scent of dead skin on a linoleum floor

This is the scent of quarantine wings in a hospital

It's not so pleasant

And it's not so conventional

It sure as hell ain't normal

But we deal, we deal

 

The anesthetic never set in and I'm wondering where

The apathy and urgency is that I thought I phoned in

It's not so pleasant.

And it's not so conventional

It sure as hell ain't normal

But we deal, we deal

 

Just sit back, just sit back

Just sit back and relax

Just sit back, just sit back

Just sit back and relapse again

 

Can't take the kid from the fight

take the fight from the kid

Sit back, relax

Sit back, relapse again

Can't take the kid from the fight

take the fight from the kid

Just sit back, just sit back

 

You're a regular decorated emergency

You're a regular decorated emergency

Sit back, sit back, bababada

You can take the kid out of the fight

 

You're a regular decorated emergency

The bruises and contusions will remind me what you did when you wake

You've earned a place atop the ICU's hall of fame

The camera caught you causing a commotion on the gurney again

Bramblebrae - Googling would have got you Panic! at the Disco by Camisado.

 

So, who's up for something for me uncharacteristically upbeat:

 

 

Hey where did we go,

Days when the rains came

Down in the hollow,

Playin' a new game

You can peel away my skin

HMMMPH, I hope this isnt another obscure one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I thought for a moment that it was a Billy Joel song (not that I'm familiar with BJ :P and I doubt BD is either - :oops: that doesnt sound the way its meant :o )

 

Anyway, all I'm saying is if this is another obscure one I'm not going to be a happy bunny :robbie:

I'll avoid discussing my familiarity (or otherwise) with 'BJ' - but will say the song in question s/b fairly well known to slightly older (SLIGHTLY! :shame::shame: ) members, especially those who like a bit of R&B flavoured Rock and Roll from north of the border!

I think that it is Steve Harvey, and it has the line 'Some people call me Maurice, whoo, hoo'.

 

Sorry Z - you're thinking of a song called 'The Joker' - which it isn't - and the artist name you picked is a mismatch of two different artists, neither of whom sang 'the Joker'... Having said that, one of your 'wrong' bits is spookily on the right track! :lol::lol::whistle:
