Lyrically Speaking - 2/5/24

[littlebeast13]

Sesame Street Monday is brought to us by the letter J this week, which reminds me that "Late in the Evening" has become a popular Mecca earworm lately. All of the odd numbered songs below have titles beginning with J, and all of the even numbered songs are by artists that begin with the letter J. So feel free to jump right on into this junkpile of lyrics...

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...


1. I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right across my back

2. You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man

3. And she's watching him with those eyes
And she's loving him with that body, I just know it

4. Try to remember the magic that we shared
In time your broken heart will mend
I never used you, you knew I really cared
I hate to see it have to end
But it's over

5. Like a cat and a mouse (cat and a mouse)
From door to door and-a house to house
Don't you pretend you don't know
What I'm talking about

6. Highway run into the midnight sun
Wheels go 'round and 'round, you're on my mind

7. Hold me, I'll give you all that you need
Wrap your love around me
You're so excited, I can feel you getting hotter
Oh baby

8. I trade my soul for a wish
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this
But now you're in my way

9. Standing in the rain, with his head hung low
Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show

10. Woke up to reality
And found the future not so bright
I dreamt the impossible
That maybe things could work out right

11. Let me tell ya a story of my situation
I was talkin' to this girl from the U.S. nation

12. All the things you mean to me
All the things I want us to be
And when the man in the moon
Looks straight at you
I see, oh, I see

Jump - Pointer Sisters

The inferior Jump. Fanny Fun Fact for the superior Jump: David Lee Roth got the idea for the chorus from a story about a guy threatening to jump off the top of a building. Fanny Fun Fact #2 I read Valerie Bertinelli's latest book a while back and she couldn't sleep because Eddie kept playing some riff over and over in the room next to her. She got up and found him sitting cross legged on the floor with a cat between his legs and a keyboard and yelled at him to stop it because she had to get up early for work. Later she found out that annoying riff keeping her up that night ended up being the intro to Jump...

I see, oh, I see
