Lyrically Speaking - 2/4/14
Posted: Tue Feb 04, 2014 7:26 am
You should be thrilled that another fantastic edition of Tuesday Wordplay is being served to you by your cheerful Meister! After yesterday's relative points bonanza, let's see if we can keep up the wonderful scoring momentum...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
2. The landlord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
3. Everyone around love them, love them
Put it in your hands
Take it take it
There's no time to cry
4. Tonight's the night I've waited for
Because you're not a baby anymore
You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen
5. The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key
So they rode on his head on their furry donkey
6. A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he married her and then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart
7. But when I look back baby
When I look back to what we had
And I know I'm countin' good times
But there were just as many bad
8. Cause you came and you took control
You touched my very soul
You always showed me that
Loving you was where it's at
9. I used to live in a darkend room
Had a face of stone
And a heart of gloom
Lost my hope,I was so far gone
Cryin all my tears
With the curtains drawn
10. We went searching, through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
11. Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread
12. I don't wanna kiss or hold your hand
If it's funny, try and understand
There is really nothing else I'd rather do
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that contains the magic word of the day.
5 Point Bonus: What short-lived classic TV show (which I absolutely LOVED when it was in reruns) featured the band Happy Kyne and the Mirth Makers?
