Lyrically Speaking - 2/18/25

Bands by number of members Tuesday (or something like that) is up to number five, so it's time to roll out the quintets! This is where things start getting a little hairy, as bands of this size tend to undergo a number of lineup changes, sometimes adding or subtracting their number of members in the process (I'm looking at YOU, Beach Boys). So at the very least, I think I can say these groups were all at least quintets for some time, and their best known roster had five members.
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
'Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear
2. All the dreams were held so close
Seemed to all go up in smoke
3. If you got hunger for what you see, you'll take it eventually
You can have everything you want but you better not take it from me
4. You see the world through your cynical eyes
You're a troubled young man I can tell
5. I got nine lives
Cat's eyes
Abusin' every one of them and running wild
6. I must be losin' it
'Cause my mind plays tricks on me
It looked so easy
But you know looks sometimes deceive
7. Now here I go again
I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
8. Oh, what do you think about that?
Now you know how I feel
Say you can handle my love, are you for real?
9. I see your face every time I dream
On every page, every magazine
So wild and free, so far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy
10. Now, I can see that we've fallen apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance
I want you to know
That deep down inside of me
11. I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win
12. Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mike
