Lyrically Speaking - 2/12/16
Posted: Fri Feb 12, 2016 7:17 am
I'm sure my devoted slave LB thought he could keep ol' Sam out of that LSWE game he comes up with on my time just because he dumped Mecca Mondays... but you can't keep a good ghost down. To show that our people do sometimes make the difference, last Fall I relaunched Mecca Radio so that our customers and associates no longer had to listen to looping ten hour CD's full of music that I just stole from TBone's iPod. Of course, being the sinister asses my kin are, half the time Mecca Radio is still playing two and a half hour loops the same songs all day and all night. While those loops at least change from day to day now when we don't feel like manning the DJ booth... back in October there was one loop that notoriously played over and over and over for almost three straight weeks. Since LB is more of a slacker than a worker, he took note of all 37 songs in that 135 minutes of aural torture and I've decided to punish you all for pandering to his laziness by presenting that loop to you in today's game. If you were in a Mecca a few months ago, chances are pretty good you heard a selection of this eclectic and thoroughly mixed continual earworm from hell...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. We keep on grinnin' 'til the weekend comes.
Just a pinch between your cheek and gums.
2. Waiting to get to your room
______
Always waiting
Feels like I've been waiting for days
In these ______
3. Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
and they ve been known to pick a song or two.
Lord, they get me off so much,
they pick me up when I'm feeling blue, now how about you
4. Don't you know my tears will burn the pillow
Set this place on fire 'cause I'm tired of your lies
All I needed was a simple "Hello"
But the traffic was so noisy that you could not hear my cry
5. Saw you there and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?
6. So cover your eyes
I have a surprise
I hope you got a healthy appetite
If you wanna dance
If you want it all
You know that I’m the girl that you should call
7. I read your letters when you're not here
But they don't move me and they don't groove me
Like when I hear your sweet voice
Whispering in my ear
8. Now I love your mama, let's save her some trouble
And your daddy won't mind if we save him a bundle
Girl it just so happens, that ring that you wanted
Well guess what I bought it
It's in my pocket baby, come on
9. _____, lovely lady
Strolling slowly towards the sun
______, ocean lady
Soothing every wave that comes
10. I don't wanna be the one to say goodbye
But I will, I will, I will
I don't wanna sit on the pavement while you fly
But I will, I will, oh yes I will
11. Well, when I know you know baby, everything I say,
meet me in the country for a day.
We'll be happy and we will dance.
Oh, we're gonna dance our blues away.
12. Take me by the hand I will be your man
Cause that's the way you make me feel
Take me by surprise look into my eyes
And show me that your love is real
13. Twist and shout my way out
And wrap yourself around me
Cause I ain't the way you found me
And I'll never be the same
14. One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
15. Yellin' in motion
Keep on doin' the locomotion, yeah
Don't worry, little babe
Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, yes!
16. You got soccer at 4:30
And ballet class by 5:00
And I call you talkin' flurry
You ask have I lost my mind
17. They come from the cities
And they come from the smaller towns
Beat up cars with guitars and drummers
Goin' crack boom bam
18. I wanna confess that you own me
And we don't rest if we're lonely
There's innocence in the moment
Maybe now's the time to be alive
19. Well, somewhere in this darkness
There's a light that I can't find
Well, maybe it's too far away
Or maybe I'm just blind
Maybe I'm just blind
20. The king is dead
And long live the people who aim above
All the simple stuff never understood
Like right from bad and wrong from good
21. Sometimes, I feel the fear
Of uncertainty stinging clear
And I, I cant help but ask myself
How much I`ll let the fear
Take the wheel and steer
22. Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
23. And don't you know that
Everybody's got to love somebody sometime
Everybody's got to win a heart
Everybody's got to love somebody sometime
When you do, I hope you never part
24. You ever watched the sun go down
From the bed of a pickup truck
Ever been so into somebody
You're still lying there when it comes back up
25. you could have a steam train
if you'd just lay down your tracks
you could have an aeroplane flying
if you bring your blue sky back
26. My last dime got used up on gasoline,
What I mean, what I mean
Atlanta, GA
By the end of the day
I'm well away, that's what I say
27. Just close your eyes and I'll take you there
This place is warm and without a care
We'll take a swim in the deep blue sea
I go to leave and you reach for me
28. I gotta tell you, you`re lookin` real good
They let us in so I`m feelin` all right
I like to go where sometimes they refuse
Yeah, I remember last Saturday night
29. I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me
I still feel your touch in my dreams
Forgive me my weakness but I don't know why
Without you it's hard to survive
30. Why you mad? Talkin' 'bout you're mad
Could it be that you just lost the best you've ever had?
That’s your bag, yup, that’s too bad
Show is over, you ain’t gotta act
31. I woke up this morning, _____ was not in sight.
I asked her friends about her but all their lips were tight.
32. I think I'll take a moment, celebrate my age
The ending of an era and the turning of a page
Now its time to focus in on where I go from here
33. You slide so good
With bones so fair
You've got the universe
Reclining in your hair
34. When Bernadette comes I get lost on her tide
She's much too sweet and she's always gonna be
When I return to her arms and her eyes
35. Go take this the wrong way
You knew who I was with every step that I ran to you
Only blue or black days
Electing strange perfections in any stranger I choose
36. Another fella told me
He had a sister that looked so fine.
Instead of being my deliverance
She had a strong resemblance
To a cat named Frankenstein
37. Baby, I'm on my way to come and get 'cha
Meet me at the end of your drive
Grab your shades and your string bikini
And your Coppertone forty five
Kroxquo Bonus: Name a song with artist that you are tired of hearing over and over again.
Image Bonus: Show me something that is annoyingly looping or repetitive.
