Lyrically Speaking - 2/25/08
Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2008 7:35 am
Sadly, this is the final week of the Winter 2008 LS, and thus, this is the final installment of Match Game Monday. As you might have expected, I saved my most diabolical game for last....
Unlike the previous 8 MGM games, instead of breaking the following 12 songs into 6 pairs, you will have to break them up into four trios based on some common theme! That's right, you're looking for three of a kinds, not pairs! Just like in previous MGM games, the trios can all be formed based on some common underlying theme that itself should be challenging to figure out, but I'll bet at least a few of our veteran players can weed it out....
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, and 3 points for each correct trio....
1. It's been a long time since the book of love,
I can't count the tears of a life with no love.
Carry me back, carry me back,
Carry me back, baby, where I come from
2. Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
3. There's something in my eyes, you know it happens every time --
I think about a love that I thought would save me.
4. I've got no far horizons
I don't wish upon a star
They don't think that I listen
Oh but I know who they are
5. While she's deceiving me
It cuts my security has
She got control of me
I turn to her and say
6. Well I'm no angel, now, I'll admit
I made a few bad moves I should regret
I hurt you once or so you said
Just one more chance is all you get
7. We can't go on
Just running away
If we stay any longer
We will surely never get away
8. There's a quiet storm
And it never felt like this before
There's a quiet storm
That is you
There's a quiet storm
And it never felt this hot before
9. I’ll tell you one thing
If you would leave it would be a crying shame
In every breath and every word I hear your name calling me out
10. Hey beautiful girl so lovely tonight
Show me the way show me the light
Music playing people swaying
Next thing I knew we started to groove
11. Now nothin' can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more
12. My mother told me
Yes she told me
I’d meet girls like you
She also told me stay away
She’ll fall in love with you
