Lyrically Speaking - 2/11/25
Posted: Tue Feb 11, 2025 4:37 am
Our Tuesday look at group by number of members has made it up to four. All of these songs are by quartets (I hope). Probably the most popular distribution of band members, and certainly home to some of the more famous acts of rock and roll...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
2. And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
3. In this context, there's no disrespect
So, when I bust my rhyme, you break your necks
4. Say I spend my money on women and wine
But I couldn't tell you where I spent last night
5. You can be here by 4:30
'Cause I've made your reservation
Don't be slow
6. I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
7. I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you
I can't believe you're gone
8. Say my name
Sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling, oh
9. I live my life like there's no tomorrow
All I've got, I had to steal
Least I don't need to beg or borrow
Yes, I'm livin' at a pace that kills
10. Well, Mandy's in the backroom, handing out Valium
Sheriff's on the airwaves, talking to the D.J.'s
11. I'll wrestle with your conscience
You wrestle with your partner
Sitting on a windowsill
But he spends his time behind closed doors
12. To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist by a band that was a quartet.
Image Bonus: The power of four...
