Lyrically Speaking - 2/19/08

[littlebeast13]

It's Tuesday Wordplay, the game where each of the following songs contain a certain word in common, yet it never seems to help out any to know the magic word since the scores are usually low for TW! Oh well, this is the penultimate Tuesday game, so enjoy them while you can!

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist.....



1. Clocks strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away

2. Let it lift you off the ground.
Starry eyes, and love is all around us.
I can take you where you want to go

3. Young punk spilling beer on my shoes,
fat guy's talking to me trying to steal my blues.
Thick smoke, see her smiling through.
I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool.

4. I'm a freak. I like the girls with the boom.
I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom.
I'm crazy. Allow me to amaze thee.
They say I'm ugly but it just don't faze me.

5. Take your baby by the hair
And pull her close and there, there, there

6. Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower

7. We can go when we want to
The night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat
From our hats to our feet
And surprise them with the victory cry

8. Well we barely make the airport
For the test plane out
As we taxied down the runway
I could hear the people shout

9. I don’t want to be the kind to hesitate, be too shy, wait too late
I don’t care what they say other lovers do,

10. There's no money falling from the sky
'Cause a man took my heart and robbed me blind
Someone stole my brand new Chevrolet
And the rent is due, I got no place to stay

11. Have you seen her? So fine and pretty
Fooled me with her style and ease
And I feel her from across the room
Yes, it's love in the third degree

12. Hey you! give up the ghost
that's haunting you now
shout it out
don't let it stay inside
and eat you alive

[Rexer25]

3. Young punk spilling beer on my shoes,

I Can't Dance - Genesis

I think this is the song I remember the video for, but the title doesn't seem quite right. I shouldn't do this while I'm watching the Vh1 Countdown. PS You used the two Peter Gabriel songs I know a long time ago, now you've used half (one of two) of the Genesis songs I know. Enough is enough!

4. I'm a freak. I like the girls with the boom.
I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom.
I'm crazy. Allow me to amaze thee.
They say I'm ugly but it just don't faze me.

The Humpty Dance - Digital Underground

YAY!!!11 Much better than that dumb Superman dance (Dwight Howard disappoints me).


5. Take your baby by the hair
And pull her close and there, there, there

Dance Hall Days - Wang Chung

6. Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms

The night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat
From our hats to our feet

So where do we go from here? Ha!


8. Well we barely make the airport
For the test plane out
As we taxied down the runway
I could hear the people shout

All She Wants To Do is Dance - Don Henley

9. I don’t want to be the kind to hesitate, be too shy, wait too late
I don’t care what they say other lovers do,

Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Dance - Crystal Gayle

10. There's no money falling from the sky
'Cause a man took my heart and robbed me blind
Someone stole my brand new Chevrolet
And the rent is due, I got no place to stay

Neutron Dance - Pointer Sisters

11. Have you seen her? So fine and pretty
Fooled me with her style and ease

Shall I have this dance? It's hard for me to think of this theme, especially after fanny's closing statement of Dance x3, and not think of Black Box's "Strike It Up", which was played prior to every Cardinals home game in 1994 and 1995. God, I miss those days....
