Lyrically Speaking - 2/28/14
Posted: Fri Feb 28, 2014 6:08 am
It's Gridiron weekend, so you know what that means! No, not just pictures of Kiki getting drunk off her ass... it also means it's time for everyone's favorite LSWE game, the Meister's Choice game!!! YAY!!! 25 songs you've probably never heard of before, but which I have not used in any LSWE game before. An eclectic mix of forgotten songs from yesteryear, and some newer songs they play on that station you would never listen to in a million years. There should be something here for everyone, and if not, there's always the Mecca Bonus!
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist....
1. You met your match when you met me
I know that you will disagree it's crazy
But opposites attract you'll see
And I won't let you get away so easy
2. Your faith and patience will be your soldiers
To guide you through your troubled times
Just put one foot in front of the other
The battles are inside your mind
3. Nah, can I kick it? thank you. yeah I'm so damn grateful.
I grew up, really wanted gold fronts
But that's what you get when wu tang raised you
Y'all can't stop me, go hard like I got an 808 in my heart beat
And I'm eating at the beat like you gave a little speed to a great white shark on shark week
4. I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
5. Conquering myself until I see another hurdle approaching
Say we can, say we will
Not just another drop in the ocean
6. You could be my someone
You could be my sea
You know that I`ll protect you
From all of the obscene
7. If anyone can cry then so can I
I read books and draw life from the eye
All my life is drawings from the eye
8. They say there's someone for everyone
And for everyone a someone
And some tattoo roses across their chests
With a heart that says Rollo
And some work without a Public Relations man
And do their best work, baby, out of sight
9. Pretty girl, pretty girl, pretty girl you should be smiling
A girl like you should never look so blue
You're everything I see in my dreams
I wouldn't say that to you if it wasn't true
10. I never thought it would happen
I feel quite the same
I don't want to hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out
No one to blame
11. Been there, done that, messed around
I'm having fun don't put me down,
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet,
I won't let you in again, the messages I've tried to send,
My information's just not going in,
Burnin' bridges shore to shore, I'll break away from something more
12. I remember when he used to fight every day
What grown-ups would tell him he would never obey
He wore his pants hangin down and his sneakers untied
And a rasta-type kangol tilted to the side
13. So let me thank you for your time
And try to not waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast
I hate to break it to you, babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save
14. Take a whiff on me that ain't no rose!
Roll up yer window and hold yer nose,
You don't have to look and you don't have to see,
'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory,
15. She may be right
She may be fine
She may get love
But she won`t get mine
Cause I got you
16. I could never see what fate had meant for me
And then you came and made my dreams match reality
Maybe you can see all the things you've meant to me
And my simple fate is at the gate and, girl, you've got the key
17. Oh, we got our feet on the ground
And we're burning it down
Oh, got our head in the clouds
And we're not coming down
18. You call it chivalry
Never pull a punch for free
You ever wonder why they had to move on
This phony honor code
That puts you on your throne
A double standard
You invoke when you want
19. You can never understand
We can always be like water
Flowing on to find our way
Just get on with the game
It's a game
What a game
20. I know the moment isn't right
To tell the girl a comical line
To keep the conversation light
I guess I'm just frightened out of my mind
21. I heard them calling in the distance
So I packed my things and ran
Far away from all the trouble
I had caused with my two hands
22. A pity she does not exist,
a shame he's not a fag
The only girl I ever loved was...
23. Remember the days and the Hollywood nights
What happened to paradise
Stolen away and I can't replace it now
'cause rumors are flying
That I can't avoid
24. From rags on up to riches
Fifteen minutes you can fly
Pretty blue lights along the way
Help you right on by
25. I wanna see your ______ - everybody says it's nice
Can I come and visit - I'll be at your house tonight
They tell me it's soft to touch and really smooth
I can hardly wait to feel that ______ too
