Lyrically Speaking - 2/16/18
Posted: Fri Feb 16, 2018 6:40 am
I hold in my hand the last LSWE envelope! And as I've done the past few years, since the contest morphed from a carefully and exquisitely planned marathon into a hastily thrown together half-assed collection of whatever ideas I can think up on the fly, the finale will be the all Music Choice game. I scanned through my cable music channels last night and collected 30 songs that I'm familiar with and hopefully aren't too obscure. And no, just because you don't listen to 21st Century music that doesn't make it obscure. Anyway, I hope you all had fun playing this year... and I thank all 19 of you (so far) who took the time to play!
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. Spotlight on Sam and Dave, y'all
Aw, don't they look great, y'all
Singing, hold on, I'm coming
2. She's got hair down to her fanny.
She's kinda jet set, try undo her panties
3. It doesn't matter where you go or what you do.
I wanna spend each moment of the day with you.
Look what has happened with just one kiss.
I never knew that I could be in love like this.
4. A one track mind
You can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
5. I've taken all I can take
And I cannot wait
We're wastin' too much time
Bein' strong, holdin' on
Can't let it bring us down
6. Obstacles and inhibition
Follow your intuiton
Free your inner soul
And break away from tradition
7. I've been to Hollywood,
I've been to Redwood
8. Bye, bye, baby, it`s been a sweet love, yeah
Though this feeling I can`t change
But, please, don`t take it so badly
Cause the Lord knows I`m to blame
9. How about no longer being masochistic
How about remembering your divinity
How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out
How about not equating death with stopping
10. Until two and two is three
Yours until the mountain crumbles to the sea
In other words, until eternity
11. You can tell from the lines on her face
you can see that she's been there
probably been moved on from every place
'cos she didn't fit in there
12. Hey Mr. DJ put a record on
I wanna dance with my baby
13. Born a man-child of the sun, yeah
Yeah, saw my work had just begun
Yeah, Found I had to stand alone, yeah
Well bless it now I've got my own, oh yeah
14. on your mark ready set let's go
dance floor pro I know you know
I go psycho when my new joint hit
just can't sit
15. He was born a pauper
To a pawn on a Christmas day
16. Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
17. It goes round and round, up and down
Round and round, up and down
Round and round and a up and down
And a one two three kick, one two three jump
18. Someone told me
There`s a girl out there
With love in her eyes
And flowers in her hair
19. Instead of breaking up
Let's do some kissing and making up
Don't throw our love away
In my arms why don't you stay
20. So I sing you a new song
Please don't cry any more
And I ask your forgiveness
Though I don't know just what I'm asking it for
21. What d`you think about that? Now you know how I feel
Say you can handle my love, are you for real?
I won`t be hasty, I`ll give you a try
If you really bug me then I`ll say goodbye
22. Then a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
23. Everybody's always talkin' 'bout who's on top
Don't cross our path 'cuz you're gonna get stopped
We ain't gonna give anybody any slack
And if you try to keep us stopped we're gonna come right back
24. Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Looking like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute, she's just a substitute
'Cause you're the permanent one
25. I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops (ooh)
26. I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me (I love it)
27. You came to catch
You thought I'd be naive and tame
You met your match
I beat you at your own game
28. I was raised by a toothless bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right across my back
29. Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
30. I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie
Kroxquo Bonus: Give me the title and artist of the last song (or current song, if you're listening to music now) that you've heard.
Edit: Due to the issue with Google recently removing the link to the actual image from its Image search, making it much harder for some to capture images, I will be more lenient than usual about giving Image Bonus credit to just links or even descriptions if absolutely necessary...
Image Bonus: So this is the end of the 2018 LSWE! Based on where you think you'll finish in the standings, show me what you think you should win...
