Lyrically Speaking - 2/4/15
Posted: Wed Feb 04, 2015 7:44 am
LB's never been one to get with the times. Heck, I've long since become obsolete, and his little "mobile device" is still older than me. His taste in music hasn't been much different since the 80's ended. Seven years ago, when Fanny posted a game with nothing but current songs, he only even recognized two of ten in the game, and even then didn't know a single damned title. It was sad...
But times have changed, and thanks to his radio station becoming more mainstream, and the Mecca CD's constantly playing at work actually being hip... LB's been forced to listen to a lot of new music... and surprise! he actually likes a lot of it! Below are 20 songs LB has heard a lot in the last few years on the radio or at Mecca that he's a big fan of, none of which I believe was released prior to 2012, and most of which are from the past year. Yes, he already knows many of you will totally bomb this game... but he really thinks you're missing out on some good stuff. After hearing some of what LB likes, though, I think I'd prefer to go back to the days when I was Chapman's teething ring....
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist....
1. First kiss just like a drug
Under your influence
You take me over you're the magic in my veins
This must be love
2. I can still hear you making that sound
Taking me down, rolling on the ground
You can pretend that it was me
But no
3. There's a maniac out in front of me.
Got an angel on my shoulder, and Mephistopheles.
My momma raised me good, momma raised me right.
Momma said "do what you want, say prayers at night"
4. She told me I was never looking for a friend
Maybe you could swing by my room around 10
Baby bring a lemon and a bottle of gin
We'll be in between the sheets 'til the late AM
5. So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you?
So what are you gonna do
When nobody wants to fool with you?
6. I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm
7. And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
8. I ain't trying to do what everybody else doing
Just ‘cause everybody doing what they all do
If one thing I know, how far would I grow?
I'm walking down this road of mine, this road that I call home
9. I want to hide the truth
I want to shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide
10. She got a body like an hourglass
But I can give it to you all the time
She got a booty like a Cadillac
But I can send you into overdrive, oh
11. The present has no ribbon
Your gift keeps on giving,
What is this I'm feeling?
If you wanna leave I'm ready
12. I'm in the de-details with the devil
So now the world can never get me on my level
I just got to get you out of the cage
I'm a young lover's rage
Gonna need a spark to ignite
13. So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night
At a bar off 75
And we talked and talked about how our parents will die
All our neighbors and wives
14. I eat my dinner in my bathtub
Then I go to sex clubs
Watching freaky people gettin' it on
It doesn't make me nervous
If anything I'm restless
Yeah, I've been around and I've seen it all
15. I was born without this fear
Now only this seems clear
I need to move, I need to fight
I need to lose myself tonight
16. If I know one thing, that's true
It ain't what you say, it's what you do
And you don't say much, yeah, that's true
But I listen when you do
17. How could you know, how could you know?
That those were my eyes
Peepin' through the floor, it's like they know
It's like they know I'm looking from the outside
And creeping to the door, it's like they know
18. Shot gun, aimed at my heart, you got one
Tear me apart and then some
How do we call this love?
I try to run away but your eyes
Tell me to stay oh why-y
Why do we call this love?
19. 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
20. I'm a little let down but I'm not dead
There's a little bit more that has to be said
You played me now I play you too
Let's just call it over
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another recent song with artist from the past few years that you like (Or if you don't, just name a recent song with artist... come on, you gotta know something hot!)
Image Bonus: Show me something that's recently been trendy!
