Lyrically Speaking 2022 - Day 4
June 30, 2022

Not really a theme Thursday.


Sometimes, a SONGwriter just doesn't know what to name a SONG. They write the SONG, and it sounds good. They sing the SONG aloud, and it just clicks. Still, you have to name your SONG. What's a poor SONGwriter to do? Won't you please help?

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist

See Timeline Bonus below


1. I said, watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical
Liberal, oh fanatical, criminal

2. And in the morning, when I rise,
You bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything is gonna be alright.

3. I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in the words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

4. Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me

5. So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins
For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing

6. They like to get you in a compromising position
Well, they like to get you there and smile in your face
Yeah, they think they're so cute when they got you in that condition
But I think it's a total disgrace

7. They don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't write 'em like that anymore

8. I got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morningtime drop all its petals on me

9. And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

10. You swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on
No need in bringing 'em back
'Cause they've never really gone

11. So please play for me a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry
A real hurtin' song about a love that's gone wrong
'Cause I don't want to cry all alone

12. Come, let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms

4. Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me

5. So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins
For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing

6. They like to get you in a compromising position
Well, they like to get you there and smile in your face
Yeah, they think they're so cute when they got you in that condition
But I think it's a total disgrace

7. They don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't write 'em like that anymore

8. I got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morningtime drop all its petals on me

Feelin Groovy - Simon and Garfunkle

9. And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

10. You swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on
No need in bringing 'em back
'Cause they've never really gone

11. So please play for me a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry
A real hurtin' song about a love that's gone wrong
'Cause I don't want to cry all alone

12. Come, let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms

John Denver- Blank

Lyrically Speaking 2022 - Day 4
June 30, 2022

Not really a theme Thursday.


Sometimes, a SONGwriter just doesn't know what to name a SONG. They write the SONG, and it sounds good. They sing the SONG aloud, and it just clicks. Still, you have to name your SONG. What's a poor SONGwriter to do? Won't you please help?
