Time for Tuesday Wordplay, so each of today's songs has a common word somewhere in their titles.

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist....



1. No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

2. I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive

3. She'll expose you, when she snows you
Hope you're pleased with the crumbs she throws you

4. Try to remember the magic that we shared
In time your broken heart will mend
I never used you, you knew I really cared
I hate to see it have to end

5. You really know me, that's all I need to know.
Maybe I'm an open book because I know you're mine,
But you won't need to read between the lines.

6. I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life

7. All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

8. Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak

9. She was the same as a hundred ladies
But when my eyes looked at her I learned
That she was keepin a secret fire
And if I got real close I'd burn

10. Oh girl, you've got to know
what my head overlooks
the senses will show to my heart
when it's watching for lies

11. Sailing down behind the sun,
Waiting for my prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again

12. Can't you see I'm finding it hard to let go oooh
All the heartaches we've been through
I never really thought I'd see this love grow
But you helped me see

3. Bette Davis Eyes, Kim Carnes.

The common word must be "Eyes."

Eyes

1. No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
Behind Blue Eyes - The Who (Some recent band [Who I'm too lazy to look up] covered this song back in 2005 or thereabouts, and one night 2 years ago while I was helping unload the truck, one of the young punk unloaders heard the Who version come on the radio and said, "Hey, they redid so-and-so's song!" I'm no old fogey, but it made me sick to hear that....)

2. I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Eyes Without a Face - Billy Idol

3. She'll expose you, when she snows you
Hope you're pleased with the crumbs she throws you
Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes (This was the #1 song in all of 1981 despite the almost irritatingly raspy voice of Carnes and the use of what I once heard was an intentionally cheap and cheesy drum machine)

4. Try to remember the magic that we shared
In time your broken heart will mend
I never used you, you knew I really cared
I hate to see it have to end
Sad Eyes - Robert John (Apparently Leo Sayer did a version of this song, but was it noteworthy? I figured all the Sayer answers were due to the fact that it does sound like him singing in the popular version. For now, though, I rejected Sayer as an answer, though I could be persuaded to change that if anyone cares to argue the case)

5. You really know me, that's all I need to know.
Maybe I'm an open book because I know you're mine,
But you won't need to read between the lines.
For Your Eyes Only - Sheena Easton

6. I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Behind These Hazel Eyes - Kelly Clarkson

7. All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel

8. Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak
I Can't Take My Eyes Off of You - Franki Valli/Four Seasons (And a cast of others I accepted. I think the only answer I didn't accept was Little Anthony & the Imperials)

9. She was the same as a hundred ladies
But when my eyes looked at her I learned
That she was keepin a secret fire
And if I got real close I'd burn
Ebony Eyes - Bob Welch

10. Oh girl, you've got to know
what my head overlooks
the senses will show to my heart
when it's watching for lies
Private Eyes - Hall & Oates

11. Sailing down behind the sun,
Waiting for my prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again
My Father's Eyes - Eric Clapton

12. Can't you see I'm finding it hard to let go oooh
All the heartaches we've been through
I never really thought I'd see this love grow
But you helped me see
Heaven in Your Eyes - Loverboy

Oh, you bastard! Would it kill ya to leave it open until 10?

I had a sentimental journey this Christmas--I asked for Celebrate Me Home because I had the album on vinyl when I was a teenager. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it still after all these years. Then I saw Ebony Eyes, and it cracked me up. I had wasted 12 bucks or so on that crappy album, because I liked Sentimental Lady. Even the cover was icky. Talk about a bunch of filler surrounding a couple songs. I guess he regretted leaving Fleetwood Mac after they blew up big, so they threw him a bone by singing backup on a song.

Well, I don't plan on being awake at 10:00...

This is your karmic payback for always calling me a slacker....
