Lyrically Speaking - 2/5/20
Posted: Wed Feb 05, 2020 7:41 am
We've reached the halfway point in the 2020 LSWE.... and in fitting fashion, I half-assed today's game. As in, I forgot to come up with a game before hitting the bed yesterday. So I'm giving myself an F for this assignment. And because I got an F, so are all of you guys. As in, today's game is brought to you by the letter F...

1. They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
2. What would you say if I told you
I've always wanted to hold you?
I don't know what we're afraid of
Nothing would change if we made love
3. And if I stay here with you girl
things just couldn't be the same
4. I want to publish scenes and rage against the machine
I want to pierce my tounge it doesn't hurt it feels fine
5. My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did
6. Up every mornin’ just to keep a job
I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob
7. Can't keep my hands to myself
Think I'll dust 'em off, put 'em back up on the shelf
In case my little baby girl is in need
Am I coming out of left field?
8. Free, on my own is the way I used to be
Ah, but since I met you baby, love's got a hold on me
9. There is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's the voice of hope
It's the voice of peace
It's the voice of every man
10. She had sulky smile
She took her standard pose as she presented herself
She had sultry eyes, she made it perfectly plain that she was his
For a price
11. You-you talk about just every band
But the names you drop are secondhand (secondhand)
12. They can't play baseball they don't wear sweaters
They're not good dancers they don't play drums

(Frangipani, so you don't have to go looking or be wondering. Part of the lyrics of IU's song "Hail to old IU" are "Gloriana, Frangipana, e'er to her be true..."
