Lyrically Speaking - 1/16/17
Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2017 7:39 am
Good morning everyone, and welcome to the 2017 Lyrically Speaking Not Much Of An Extravaganza Anymore Now That LB Is Too Lazy To Write 10 Weeks Worth Of Games. Boy, that needs to be made into an acronym. Anyway, since the LSNMOAEA....etc. doesn't play by the old rules anymore, it's perfectly alright to lead off with a theme game this year! Yep, the 12 songs below all have something in common that can be found in the title, the artist, or even in a couple of other ways that aren't immediately obvious. It shouldn't be too hard.... after all, I'm just a gerbil. It's those hamsters and squirrels who are the evil ones who'd try to trip the reigning champion T Bone up on the very first game....
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 3 points for the theme...
1. Turning me on, turning me off
Making me feel like I want too much
Living with you is just putting
Me through it all of the time
2. I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean...
3. It's at times like this
The great heaven knows
That we wish we had
Not so many clothes
4. Before I go insane
I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed
Screaming out the words I dread
5. And so we are told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you, be with you night and day
6. I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
7. I see the crystal raindrops fall
And the beauty of it all
That's when the sun comes shining through
8. They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine on new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see
9. Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body`s aching all the time
10. You oughta see her on a road course or a quarter mile
This little modified Pon-Pon has got plenty of style
She beats the gassers and the rail jobs, really drives 'em wii-yiii-yiiild
11. Twelve men heard the call
Ready to give their all
They bring hope where they are seen
12. No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
