Since I'm still up this late, I may as well go ahead and throw this game up. It's Theme Thursday, so you know what that means. Figure out the common bond between these 12 songs and win a prize!
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, and 3 points for identifying the theme....
1. Who's gonna pick you up
When you fall
Who's gonna hang it up
When you call
2. My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
3. Turnin' back the pages to the times I love best
I wonder if she'll ever do the same
Now the thing that I call livin' is just bein' satisfied
With knowin' I got no one left to blame
4. Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps
Don't you work as hard as you play
Make up, break up, everything is shake up
Guess it had to be that way
5. On the corner is a banker with a motorcar,
And little children laugh at him behind his back.
And the banker never wears a mac
In the pouring rain - very strange.
6. Leavin' on a southern train
Only yesterday you lied,
Promises of what I seemed to be
Only watched the time go by
7. We got some places to see
I brought all the maps with me
So jump right in...Ain't no sin
Take a ride in my machine
8. In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers
I used to watch 'em through the glass
Well I'd stand outside at closing time
Just to watch her walk on past
9. Who is to blame in one country
Never can get to the one
Dealin' in multiplication
And they still can't feed everyone
10. Well we know where we're going
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowing
But we can't say what we've seen
11. I've been tryin' to get to you for a long time
Because constantly you been on my mind
I was thinkin' 'bout a shortcut I could take
But it seems like I made a mistake
12. In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
