Lyrically Speaking - 1/4/08
Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2008 6:24 am
It's Free For All Friday, which is the Lyrically Speaking version of Potpourri. All of today's songs were playing on one of the wide variety of Music Choice channels I have on cable when I wrote this game on December 25th. Since this is the weekend game, there are 20 songs, and the game does not close until Monday morning.
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist....
1. A man walks down the street
He says why am I short of attention
Got a short little span of attention
And woe my nights are so long
2. You and me girl got a highway to the sky
We can turn away from the night and day
And the tears you had to cry
You're my life..
3. And if she says to you
she doesn't love me
just give her my message
tell her of my plea
4. Baby, baby why can't you sit still?
Who killed that bird out on you window sill?
Are you the reason that he broke his back?
Did I see you laugh about that?
5. She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
6. Live those dreams
Scheme those schemes
Got to hit me
Hit me
Hit me with those laser beams
7. They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
8. Come on and dance, come on and dance
Let's make some romance
You know the night is fallin'
And the music's callin'
9. We feel like Greeks, we feel like Romans
Centaurs and monkeys just cluster round us
We drink elixirs that we refine
from the juices of the dying
10. We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
11. Well, I can say goodbye in the cold morning light
But I can't watch love die in the warmth of the night
If I've got to be strong
Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone?
12. Where you going
What you looking for
You know those boys
Don't want to play no more with you
It's true
13. My friends are always giving me
Watches, hats, and wine
That’s how I know this is serious
That’s how I know it's time
14. I wanna bite the hand that feeds me
I wanna bite that hand so badly
I want to make them wish they'd never seen me
15. I can't stop
The way I feel
Things you do
Don't seem real
16. And when the sun comes up
I'll be on top
You'll be way down there
Lookin' up
And I might wave
Come up here
17. Deeper and deeper, help ya reach the
Climax that your man can't make
Call him, tell him you'll be home real late
Now sing the break
18. So I look in your direction,
But you pay me no attention, do you.
I know you dont listen to me.
cause you say you see straight through me, dont you.
19. They wake at dawn 'cos all the birds are singing,
Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking.
Outside it's cold misty and it's raining,
They got each other neither one's complaining
20. Life's too short to make a mistake
Let's think of each other and hesitate
Young and impatient we may be
There's no need to act foolishly
