Lyrically Speaking - 2/25/25
Posted: Tue Feb 25, 2025 7:44 am
For our final Tuesday game of the year, it's time to celebrate the really big bands... the ones that weren't just one or two primadonnas and a bunch of session players. All of the songs below are by groups that had six or more members. There's so many musicians involved in this game, the fire marshal just might close down the thread...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts of men
Who need more than they get
Daylight deals a bad hand to a woman
Who has laid too many bets
2. She's comin' in, 12:30 flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
3. She was pure like snowflakes
No one could ever stain
4. LA, Hollywood, and the Sunset Strip
Is something everyone should see
Neon lights and the pretty, pretty girls
All dressed so scantily
5. Funny faces
Full of love and laughter
Funny places
Summer nights and streetcars
6. I'll walk down the mall, stand over by the wall
Where I can see it all, find out who you call
Lead you to the supermarket checkout
Some specials and rat food, get lost in the crowd
7. Our mum she's so house-proud
Nothing ever slows her down and a mess is not allowed
8. I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why
9. Young man, are you listening to me? I said
Young man, what do you want to be?
10. Have you ever had the odds stacked up so high
You need a strength most don't possess?
Or has it ever come down to do or die?
You've got to rise above the rest
11. Papa's in the icebox lookin' for a can of ale
Papa's in the icebox lookin' for a can of ale
12. We can't go on
Pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist by a band with six or more members.
