Lyrically Speaking - 2/29/08

[littlebeast13]

1. Nightshades on a warning
Give me strength at least give me a light
Give me anything even sympathy
There's a chance you could be right
Union of the Snake - Duran Duran (I think this has always been my favorite Duran Duran song....)

2. Father, father, we don't need to escalate
War is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate
What's Going On? - Marvin Gaye

3. But please realize
You'll probably be surprised
For it's the land unknown to man
Where fantasy is fact
Journey To the Center of the Mind - Amboy Dukes

4. Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
Nothing Else Matters - Metallica

5. Someone's always playing corporation games
Who cares they're always changing corporation names
We Built This City - Starship (I was quite thrilled when this song came on so I coul dinclude it in the finale.... everyone's favorite song from LS's favorite band!)

6. When I say that I'm o.k. they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game
Watching the Wheels - John Lennon

7. Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone stands
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold
Move Along - All American Rejects

8. I took the city 'bout one A.M, loaded, loaded
I'm all geared up to score again, loaded, loaded
I come alive in the neon light
That's when I make my moves right
Livin' After Midnight - Judas Priest (My favorite Priest song is actually Breaking the Law.... both for the song and the video)

9. Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Always on My Mind - Willie Nelson (Didn't know this was an Elvis song!)

10. The time is soon, you'll arrive, together then,
we'll escape into the night on wings of love,
and do the things that we onced dreamed of...
All aboard a luxury, a first class ticket to ecstasy
Secret Rendezvous - Karyn White (I'd have preferred "The Way You Love Me", but oh well)

11. And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say
Since U Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson

12. When you lived inside of me
There was nothing I could conceive
That you wouldn't do for me
Trouble seemed so far away
You changed that right away, baby
Love Don't Live Here Anymore - Rose Royce

13. When I come home, baby,
my house is dark and my pots are cold.
You're hangin' round, baby,
with Jean and Joan and-a who knows who.
Evil Ways - Santana

14. The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Were never to be
Though we're apart, you're part of me still
Blueberry Hill - Fats Domino

15. On the ice blue line of insanity is a place most never see
It's a hard won place of mystery, touch it but can't hold it
Maniac - Michael Sembello

16. I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2

17. Come in and take a look at your mind
You'd be surprised what you might find, yeah
Strobe lights flashin' way till after sundown
People gather there from all parts of town
Psychadelic Shack - Temptations

18. Open up the window, let some air into this room
I think I'm almost chokin' from the smell of stale perfume
Mama Told Me Not To Come - Three Dog Night

19. My home lies deep within you
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now, when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even though I'm very old
I Write the Songs - Barry Manilow

20. I didn't mean to treat you bad,
Didn't know just what I had,
But honey now I do.
Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue - Crystal Gayle (No, this song wasn't actually played when I was making up this list, although I did pass up another Crystal Gayle song towards the end. That sneak J.J. Cale must've snuck this one in the game for his favrite fan....)
