August Lyrically Speaking Day 19 – Theme Thursday
Welcome to the last installment of Theme Thursday for this edition of Lyrically Speaking. This one is another matching game similar to lb’s pairs games. First, identify the title and artist of each song – 1 point for each. Then match each song with one other song in 6 pairs that fit a certain overall theme. 5 points for guessing the theme correctly, and two points for each pair you correctly match, for a total of 41 possible points. There will be no krox bonus on this game, for reasons which will become perfectly clear if you get the theme correct. Good luck!
1. Interchanging mind control
Come let the, revolution takes its toll
If you could, flick the switch and open your third eye
You'd see that, we should never be afraid to die
2. Robert's got a quick hand.
He'll look around the room, he won't tell you his plan.
He's got a rolled cigarette hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid.
Yeah, he found a six shooter gun in his dad's closet hidden with a box of fun things.
3. This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype
Save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
But here they come again to jack my style
4. And your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
just the way that we do
5. The nights are long alone
I sit alone and moan
'Cause I love you
I love you
6. But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
7. I could fill your cup
You know my river won't evaporate
This world we still appreciate
You could be my luck
Even in a hurricane of frowns
8. I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing,
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
9. And the walls kept tumbling down (oh where do we begin?)
In the city that we love (the rubble or our sins?)
Great clouds roll over the hills (oh where do we begin?)
Bringing darkness from above (the rubble or our sins?)
10. Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think it's so sexy
11. And the world presses in and our shorelines change
And the cycle of tides moves us in the darkness
Now the light that comes up on your distant range
From the east casts a shadow between us
12. 1, 2, 3
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweet

) This has got to be it, as Hornsby had the number 1 song AND album, so by process of elimination, the one I'm drawing a blank on HAS to go here....I hope......
