Lyrically Speaking - 2/9/17
Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2017 8:11 am
Today's LSWE is going to be a little different from every other game I've created in the 10 years of this contest. While my baseline for an LSWE game has always been that it must contain at least 12 songs.... this one is only going to have 10. There's a reason for this, which you'll eventually see. To make up for the lost points, and then some, I'm going to award an amazing 10 points to you for correctly guessing the theme of today's game! And I want you to get it... or at least to have a legitimate opportunity to figure it out without having to stare at too many blank answers. For that reason, I made the song choices for this game intentionally easy to moderate on a difficulty level, and I even reused a song from a previous game this year (So don't call me out for it!) Even with all ten answers the theme may not seem obvious at first glance, but trust me when I say the solution is right in front of your face...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 10 points for the theme...
1. Midnight,
And I'm a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five
Hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line
2. Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you
3. Father McKenzie, writing the words
of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
4. Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids,
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did.
5. What's your name? Who's your daddy?
(He rich) Is he rich like me.
Has he taken, any time.
(To show) To show you what you need to live.
6. Young man, there's no need to feel down
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground
I said, young man, 'cause your in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy
7. You know I can't afford to but her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
8. No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
9. You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
10. Red light, yellow light, green-a-light go!
Crazy little woman in a one man show
Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love
Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up
Theme?
