Answers & Points - Lyrically Speaking - 2/20/09
Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2009 1:27 am
For today's Free For All Friday game, I decided to do my first ever Meister's Choice game. You would think that with 5 previous contests under my belt that at some point I just chose a bunch of songs I wanted to put in a game just for the heck of it, but I am so bound by puzzle themes that I never have. So I just made a list of a bunch of songs I have never got to use in an LS game before that I really like, and threw it together in one big mishmash game....
The songs below fall into several different categories. A lot of them are somewhat obscure, a lot of them are songs I don't get to hear much anymore, some of them are forgotten classics that fell into the dustbin of music history, and some of them are just slightly more common songs I really like but just never found a game to put them in yet. But still, there are some real doozies in this game, and I expect there will probably be several songs that end up being shutouts. For that reason, I included 25 songs in this game to give you all at least a fair shot at racking up a halfway decent score....
This game is open until Monday morning at the usual time....
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist.....
1. Hold me darlin', come on listen to me,
I won't do you no harm;
Trust me darlin', come on listen to me
Come on listen to me, come on listen, listen
2. Your conscience awakes
And you see your mistakes
And you wish someone would buy your confessions.
The days miss their mark
And the night gets so dark
3. She's poetry in motion
Beautiful sight to see
I get so excited
Viewing her anatomy
4. I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
5. I can't love, shot full of holes
Don't feel nothing, I just feel cold
Don't feel nothing, just old scars
Toughening up around my heart
6. I can scheme of ways to make her mine
Cause I know she's livin phat
Her boyfriend's tall and he plays ball

But you fly away almost everyday
10. Everywhere I go
Every smile I see
I know you are there
Smilin' back at me
11. But they found bright lights
And endless nights
And men just used her innocent ways
He found it all so pretty, hypnotized by the city
They lost sight of the reason
They lost count of the days
12. Take for instance just because I'm white
They say son you can't jam like that your skin is too light
But what kind of crap is that for someone to say
I think they're jealous because I jam the groove way
13. I walk into a club and I found paradise
I’m seein stars, I can’t believe my eyes
I’m seein stars
14. Put your left leg down your right leg up
Tilt your head back let's finish the cup

Adrock gets nice with Charlie Chan
15. Well
I feel fine

I was dreamin' of a demon and I ate a dime.
The dime floats
the colonel boasts -
Send 'em up the hill boys, this ain't no joke

Oooooh! Ooh I'm searching for a better place
Oooooh! Ooh I'm tired of living in the sand
Oooooh! Ooh I'm searching for a better land
17. Gonna sit down in the kitchen
and fix me something good to eat
and make my head a little high

Confide wisely you'll be the wiser
Young blood is the lovin' upriser
How come everybody wanna keep it like the kaiser
19. Everybody's got a little light
Under the sun
Under the sun
Under the sun
Under the sun

He said, saw red, went home stayed in bed all day,
Your t'shirt, dish dirt,
Always love the one you hurt
21. Your TV set is acting up and you don't understand
You're so upset because you can't watch "All My Children" and
You wonder if there's something I can do for you
Well all that I can say...
22. I was lying on the grass on Sunday morning of last week
Indulging in my self defeat
My mind was thugged all laced and bugged all twisted wrong and beat
A comfortable three feet deep
23. Each and every heart it seems,
Is bounded by a world of dreams.
Each and every rising sun,
Is greeted by a lonely one.
24. Receiving department, 3 a.m.
Staff cuts have socked up the overage
Directives are posted.
No callbacks, complaints.
Everywhere is calm
25. They don't play baseball

They're not good dancers
They don't play drums!!
