Lyrically Speaking - 2/29/08
Posted: Fri Feb 29, 2008 6:31 am
44 games have failed to decide the Winter 2008 Lyrically Speaking, so it all comes down to this game. What, it's not Wednesday you say? Well, you see, given that I've become the honorary grand marshall of the Winter LS, I thought it would be appropriate if I presented the final game. It was the least I could do for LB given the surge in popularity I've received ever since my biggest fan fantine helped to put me back on the map. Why, I've been invited to sing on American Idol, have gotten my picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone, and my groupie entourage has literally doubled to two! I'd go on and on about my change in fortunes, but I've got to rehearse for my appearance at an upcoming Nuggets halftime show.....
The following 20 songs were all heard by LB on his wide variety of Music Choice channels on February 22nd, though they can't have a very wide variety if they never play any of my classics. I didn't much care for the playlist when I saw it, but I promised my buddy LB I would post it just as it is.....
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, and good luck to my biggest fan out there! MWAH, baby!
1. Nightshades on a warning
Give me strength at least give me a light
Give me anything even sympathy
There's a chance you could be right
2. Father, father, we don't need to escalate
War is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate
3. But please realize
You'll probably be surprised
For it's the land unknown to man
Where fantasy is fact
4. Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
5. Someone's always playing corporation games
Who cares they're always changing corporation names
6. When I say that I'm o.k. they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game
7. Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone stands
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold
8. I took the city 'bout one A.M, loaded, loaded
I'm all geared up to score again, loaded, loaded
I come alive in the neon light
That's when I make my moves right
9. Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
10. The time is soon, you'll arrive, together then,
we'll escape into the night on wings of love,
and do the things that we onced dreamed of...
All aboard a luxury, a first class ticket to ecstasy
11. And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say
12. When you lived inside of me
There was nothing I could conceive
That you wouldn't do for me
Trouble seemed so far away
You changed that right away, baby
13. When I come home, baby,
my house is dark and my pots are cold.
You're hangin' round, baby,
with Jean and Joan and-a who knows who.
14. The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Were never to be
Though we're apart, you're part of me still
15. On the ice blue line of insanity is a place most never see
It's a hard won place of mystery, touch it but can't hold it
16. I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
17. Come in and take a look at your mind
You'd be surprised what you might find, yeah
Strobe lights flashin' way till after sundown
People gather there from all parts of town
18. Open up the window, let some air into this room
I think I'm almost chokin' from the smell of stale perfume
19. My home lies deep within you
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now, when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even though I'm very old
20. I didn't mean to treat you bad,
Didn't know just what I had,
But honey now I do.
