Lyrically Speaking - 2/26/08

[littlebeast13]

It's the final Tuesday of the Winter 2008 LS, so our last installment of Tuesday Wordplay. Each of the following songs contains a word in common, but you should have known that by now....

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



1. In Birmingham they love the Gov'nor.
Now we all did what we could do.
Now Watergate does not bother me.
Does your conscience bother you, tell the truth.

2. She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain

3. I went to a dance just the other night
I met a girl there she was out of sight
I asked a friend of mine who she could be

4. Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

5. Oh your heart has called me closer to you
I will be all that you need
Just trust in what we`re feeling
Never leave `cause baby, I believe

6. We'll be dancin' in the moonlight
Smilin' with the risin' sun
Livin' like we've never done
Goin' all the way

7. With sweet love and devotion
deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby

8. And I gotta catch a noon train
Gotta be there on time
Oh, it feels so good to know she waits at the end of the line

9. Cause I've been acting like sour milk all on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold?

10. Spotlight on Sam and Dave y'all
Ah don't they look boss y'all
Singin' "Hold On I'm Comin'"
Oh yeah, oh yeah

11. Some fast talkin' mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go musta got up & went.
You got good news but you're a real good liar
Cause backstage lover set your pants on fire.

12. I was walkin' many days gone by
I was thinkin' 'bout the lonely nights
Communication break down all around me

4. Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
