Lyrically Speaking 2022 - Day 17
July 19, 2022
TBone Tuesday
A few years back (2016), our man TBone posted a thread of his 500 favorite songs and 100 favorite albums of all time. He did a magnificent job of explaining what each song and album meant to him and why he felt the need to add it to his list. He even included a YouTube link for each song. The entire list was very well done (naturally).
Below are lyrics from 18 of those songs in his top 100, in no particular order.
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist (bonus points await, below)
1. Yeah, when that fog horn blows
I will be coming home
Yeah, when that fog horn blows
I wanna hear it
I don't have to fear it
2. Yeah, my, my such a sweet thing
I wanna do everything
What a beautiful feeling
3. You
Telling me the things you're gonna do for me
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see
4. There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
5. Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But you're the key to my peace of mind
6. Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock 'n' roll
7. But oh, how it feels so real
Lying here, with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
8. See, don't ever set me free
I always wanna be by your side
9. You got a smile so bright
You know you could've been a candle
I'm holding you so tight
You know you could've been a handle
10. She is the sunlight when the skies are grey
She treats me so right lady take me away
11. Well, I got that green light baby
I got to keep moving on
Well, I got that green light baby
I got to keep moving on
Well, I might go out to California
Might go down to Georgia I don't know
12. Then I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
She could make me happy (happy, happy, she could make me very happy)
Flowers in her hair
Flowers everywhere (everywehre)
13. Everyone is helpful
Everyone is kind
On the road to ______
Everyone is lucky
Everyone is so kind
On the road to ______
14. I do believe in you, and I know you believe in me
Oh-oh yeah, oh-oh yeah
But now we realize, love's not all that it's supposed to be
Oh-oh yeah, oh-oh yeah
Knowing that you would have wanted it this way
15. Knock down the old grey wall
Be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do
16. You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
17. If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
18. Before her love, I was cruel and mean
Had a hole in the place where my heart used to be
But now I'm changed, and I feel so strange
I come alive when she does all those things to me
