Lyrically Speaking - 2/24/25
Posted: Mon Feb 24, 2025 7:46 am
How is it possible that we've already reached the final week of the 2025 LSWE? Maybe because it's only five weeks long, and it started four weeks ago.... but I guess it doesn't seem like that. Anyway, here's your final Sesame Street Monday game of the year, which is brought to you by the letter T. Odd - T titles, Even - T artists. Now on to our totally titillating test...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. She said that living with me
Is bringing her down, yeah
For she would never be free
When I was around
2. Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?
One without a permanent scar?
And did you miss me
While you were looking for yourself out there?
3. Ev'ry girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear till it's my turn
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that, oh no
4. You were the child of the sun
And the sky and the deep blue sea
5. I'm falling down a spiral, destination unknown
Double-crossed messenger all alone
6. See the lights of a neighbor's house
Now she's starting to rise
Take a minute to concentrate
And she opens up her eyes
7. So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll be stumblin' away
Slowly learnin' that life is okay
8. But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me, it won't be long
Till happiness steps up to greet me
9. Listen boy
It's not automatically a certain guarantee
To insure yourself
You've got to provide communication constantly
10. The bigger, the better
Some stolen from Japan
Collected from around the world,
They'll catch you if they can
11. Come with me
Don't say no (Please don't say no)
Hold me close (And hold me close)
12. Workin' all week, 9 to 5 for my money
So when the weekend comes I go get live with the honey
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist where either one begins with the letter T (5 points if BOTH begin with T).
