Lyrically Speaking - 2/19/16
Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2016 6:44 am
It's time to break out the hankies and the crying guitars, because today's game is a tribute to songs about the blues... specifically, songs that mention "blues" in the title. You may think it's odd for me to choose this theme for a Friday game, but then again, you probably don't have Wednesdays and Thursdays off work. I don't want to see any sad scores in this game, or I'll make you sing about the LSWE Blues...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. Every time I call my baby, and ask to get a date
My boss says, "No dice son, you gotta work late"
2. The sailors and the pilots
The soldiers and the law
The payoffs and the ripoffs
And the things nobody saw
3. Well, I woke up this morning
And I got myself a beer
Well, I woke up this morning
And I got myself a beer
The future's uncertain
And the end is always near
4. This is the day of the expanding man
That shape is my shade
There where I used to stand
5. The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
6. When I was just a baby,
My Mama told me, "Son,
Always by a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns,"
7. Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second
Without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man
8. I was the one who came runnin' when you were lonely
I haven't lived one day not lovin' you only
But kisses and love won't carry me til you marry me Bill
9. Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
Fore we see it you take it
10. Do you want to see me
Crawl across the floor to you
Do you want to hear me
Beg you to take me back
11. Well, I should be sittin' in an air conditioned office in a swivel chair
Talkin' some trash to the secretaries,
Sayin', "Here, now mam-ma, come on over here."
12. She makes the place a jumping
The way she moves around
She like the rump and rolling
That's when she get it out
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that mentions "Blues" in the title.
