Lyrically Speaking - 2/3/23
Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2023 11:56 pm
I've featured music every Monday on my blog for a long time, and occasionally that will take the form of a Top 30 countdown. A few years ago, I put together something I called the "Top 30 Songs I Just Feel Like Playing" countdown... compiling thirty songs that I liked A LOT. Now it's hardly a true representation of my absolute favorite songs.... any song I'd already featured on Monday was ineligible, and I did some juggling to ensure there was variety by both decade and genre. But safe to say that none of those thirty songs would have me reaching to change the radio station. Quite the opposite, I'd be cranking up the volume!
So of those thirty songs (five of which have already appeared in this year's LSWE), I chose sixteen for this game. Since I'm pretty sure TBone was the only one from this Bored reading my blog at the time, I don't think anyone will have an advantage in this game.... but if so, oh well! Enjoy my eclectic and questionable taste in music....
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. Tonight I'm gonna break away
Just to wait and see
2. She's juicy and she's trouble
She gets it to me good
My woman gives me power
Goes right down to my blood
3. Don't tell me "I don't want to be a girl like that"
Do you want to see a grown man cry?
4. Okay, you think you got a pretty face
But the rest of you is out of place
5. I come here looking for money
(Got to have it)
and end up leaving with love
Now you’ve left me with nothing
6. I dig snow and rain and bright sunshine
7. They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns
Their prowess is potent and secretly stern
8. So much for the golden future, I can't even start
I've had every promise broken, there's anger in my heart
9. The wind blew some luck in my direction
I caught it in my hands today
10. Have you ever been close to tragedy?
Or been close to folks who have?
Have you ever felt the pain so powerful
so heavy you collapse?
11. Moonlight, you're just a heartache in disguise
Won't you keep my heart from breakin'
If it's only for a very short time?
12. Now once, I was down-hearted
Disappointment, was my closest friend
13. And mix your milk with my coco puff
Milky, milky coco
Mix your milk with my coco puff
Milky, milky
Right
14. What are we running for?
We've got the right to be angry
What are we running for?
15. Daddy works a long day
He'd be coming home late, yeah, he's coming home late
And he's bringing me a surprise
'Cause dinner's in the kitchen, and it's packed in ice
16. We'll be dancin' in the moonlight
Sailin' with the risin' sun
Livin' like we've never known
Goin' all the way
