Lyrically Speaking - 2/21/20
Posted: Fri Feb 21, 2020 4:22 am
No, no.... it can't be!!! Yes, sadly, today's game is the 25th and final game of the 2020 LSWE. I've ended a number of my lyrics contests, even going back to the days before this became a winter tradition, with the all Music Choice game. But this year that won't happen because I'm saving a butt-ton of money by not being a cable subscriber (Hell, I don't even watch TV anymore). So instead, I'm giving you something else I've closed out games with in the past... the All Krox game! I went back over all of the previous games this year, and pulled one valid Krox song from each game. I also made sure to get at least one Krox from each player (Except Beebs, who was too serial killer obsessed to give a Krox). So hopefully you can identify the songs you chose to Krox... or at least the one I chose for you. The 25th song is my special Krox to you, the players, without whom running this game each year would be pointless. Good luck, and thanks for another great year!
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. Got a beat up glove
A homemade bat
And a brand new pair of shoes
2. And if I could be king
Even for a day
I'd take you as my queen
I'd have it no other way
3. I never wanted to
Be your weekend lover
I only wanted to
Be some kind of friend
4. I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once
I won`t tell you again
It`s a bad way
5. They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about
A man that's sad and lonely
6. We don't even care, as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
7. Cause I`m homesick
Feel a little down and blue
And I`m hurting, hurting
Baby, just like you
8. He sees his children jumping off
At the stations, one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed and having fun
9. (Say you will)
Say it right now, baby (say you will)
Come on, come on (say you will)
10. Well, I don't know no good come-ons
And I don't know no cool lines
I feel the heat of your frustration
I know it's burning you up deep down inside
11. Mister Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase
And kissed his kids goodbye
12. There'll always be sunshine when I look at you
It's something I can't explain just the things that you do
And if you get lonely phone me and take
A second to give to me that magic you make
13. With the dark
Oh, I see so very clearly now
All my fears are drifting by me
So slowly now, fading away
14. Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man a man
Black as the dark night, she was
Got what no one else had, waaaa
15. Strumming my six-string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp
They're beginning to boil
16. So you think we have a lazy time,
Well you should know better
And I don`t know why,
I just don`t know why.
17. I've changed my face
I've changed my name
But no one wants you
When you lose
18. Bonedigger Bonedigger
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away my well-lit door
19. Let me tell you
A story of my situation
I was talking to this girl
From the U.S. nation
20. Between the darkness on the street
And the houses filling up with light
Between the stillness in my heart
And the roar of the approaching night
21. In this life I've seen everything I can see, woman
I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun
And I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
22. When I think of all the times
I tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry
And she promises the earth to me
23. Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts
Is always your best bet
24. The evening had turned to rain
Watch the water roll down the drain
As we followed him down to the station
25. If it's a car you lack
I'd surely buy you a Cadillac
Whatever you need
Any time of the day or night
