Lyrically Speaking - 2/13/17

Can it be... the last week of the 2017 LSWE already? My, how time flies when you're beating your head on the desk trying to come up with new games!

So tomorrow is Valentine's Day. If ever there was an occasion that more deserved a hearty "Bah, humbug!" I don't know what it would be. In honor of the stupidest holiday of them all that proves that it really does take money to buy love, today's game will feature songs that show off the not-so-pretty aspects of love and romance that Hallmark would like to pretend don't exist. Call it the anti-VD Day, if you wish...

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...


1. You love her but she loves him
And he loves somebody else
You just can't win

2. Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice

3. And do you think that
We`ve grown up differently
Don`t seem the same
Seems you`ve lost your feel for me

4. Right now, he's probably buying her
Some fruity little drink
Cause she can't shoot whiskey

5. Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
Judy left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When he`s supposed to be mine

6. Some people work for a living
Some people work for fun
Girl I just work for you

7. There goes my old girlfriend
There's another diamond ring
And of all those late night promises
I guess they don't mean a thing

8. You come on with a come on
You don't fight fair
But that's okay, see if I care

9. They started to fight
When the money got tight
And they just didn't
Count on the tears

10. When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow

11. Used to go to dinner almost every night
Danced until I thought I'd lose my breath
Now it seems your dancin' feet are always on my couch
Good thing I cook or else we'd starve to death

12. Now I know, that I had to borrow
Beg and steal and lie and cheat
Trying to keep ya, trying to please ya
'Cause being in love with your ass ain't cheap

Edited to change the image, because the one I originally used was not appropriate. Nothing objectionable, just not appropriate to post a picture of a private citizen without their permission. If you want to dock me the bonus point, that's OK.

Another one of those songs I recognize, but can't confidently give the title. So I'll quote part of the lyrics and hope it's right:

There's only you and me, and we just disagree

Not really a match for the theme, but at least the title's in the spirit of the theme:

Mr. Valentine's Dead - The Town Pants



I wasn't at this particular show, but it was at an event held at the Corning Museum of Glass, which makes for an interesting backdrop. At the same time as the band is playing in the auditorium, there are glass-blowing demonstrations going on in a different part of the museum, and they show live video feeds of that on the video screens behind the band, so that you can listen to them at the same time you're watching the demo and wondering, "Hmmm, what are they making now?" :mrgreen:

So tomorrow is Valentine's Day. If ever there was an occasion that more deserved a hearty "Bah, humbug!" I don't know what it would be. In honor of the stupidest holiday of them all that proves that it really does take money to buy love, today's game will feature songs that show off the not-so-pretty aspects of love and romance that Hallmark would like to pretend don't exist.

2. Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice
Lyin' Eyes - Eagles

3. And do you think that
We`ve grown up differently
Don`t seem the same
Seems you`ve lost your feel for me
We Just Disagree - Dave Mason (Just about every time I've used this song, I've mentioned that I was introduced to it by its use in a montage of manager/umpire arguments on an old baseball-themed videotape we had when I was a kid...)

4. Right now, he's probably buying her
Some fruity little drink
Cause she can't shoot whiskey
Before He Cheats - Carrie Underwood

5. Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
Judy left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When he`s supposed to be mine
It's My Party - Leslie Gore

6. Some people work for a living
Some people work for fun
Girl I just work for you
Everything She Wants - Wham! (Never forget the exclamation point... Wham! was meant to be screamed at the top of one's lungs...)

7. There goes my old girlfriend
There's another diamond ring
And of all those late night promises
I guess they don't mean a thing
What It Takes - Aerosmith

8. You come on with a come on
You don't fight fair
But that's okay, see if I care
Hit Me With Your Best Shot - Pat Benatar

9. They started to fight
When the money got tight
And they just didn't
Count on the tears
Scenes From An Italian Restaurant - Billy Joel

10. When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow
Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division (A great under the radar song from the early 80's...)

11. Used to go to dinner almost every night
Danced until I thought I'd lose my breath
Now it seems your dancin' feet are always on my couch
Good thing I cook or else we'd starve to death
What Have You Done For Me Lately - Janet Jackson

12. Now I know, that I had to borrow
Beg and steal and lie and cheat
Trying to keep ya, trying to please ya
'Cause being in love with your ass ain't cheap
Fuck You - Cee-lo Green


Image Bonus: Show me something that'll tell love to take a flying leap...

BiT's image reminded me of an extremely annoying series of radio commercials run by one of the jewelry conglomerates around here where men who get their wives/girlfriends "lame" gifts are openly mocked and then set straight by the company's owner who tells them they should be buying her very expensive and impractical fucking jewelry instead. Fuck him! Not BiT.... he gets the 5 point IBB for showing how much he cares, and the added touch of "gift wrapping" was just icing on the cake...

BiT gets a supermax for getting something that both sucks and blows...

mrk gets a JJC point for a classic bad album cover (And it probably would have worked in Friday's game as well)...
