Lyrically Speaking - 1/25/21
Posted: Mon Jan 25, 2021 8:10 am
In my neverending quest to come up with some kind of theme I haven't used before in an LSWE game, I somehow stumbled upon the... ahem, "sport" of boxing. Why not? I managed to fill out a game without repeating any elements, so let's duke it out and see who becomes medicoreweight champion of the Bored! References can be found in title or artist...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
2. This stone is genuine like love should be
And if your baby's truer than my baby was to me
3. It's hard to explain how a few precious things
Seem to follow throughout all our lives
After all's said and done I was watching my son
Sleeping there with my bear by his side
4. Before I put another notch
In my lipstick case
You better make sure
You put me in my place
5. Beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
I'm telling you beware
6. Come out of your shell, boy
You know we go like hand in glove
You're afraid of giving in
But I am never giving up on your love
7. I love you so, I always will
And in your voice
I hear a choir of carousels
8. It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel that I'll convey
Some inner truth of vast reflection
9. It coulda been me
But it was you who
Went and bit off a little bit more
Than he could chew
10. And when trouble a-keeps knockin'
Down your door
Just call on me babe
And it won't be 'round no more
11. Tightened our belts
Abused ourselves
Get in our way
We'll put you on your shelf
12. But we got it on together
In such a super way
We held each other close at night
And traded dreams each day
Kroxquo Bonus: Give me another song with artist that contains a boxing reference in the title or artist name.
Image Bonus: Let's get ready to rumble....
