Lyrically Speaking 10-24-25

#1 Post by elwoodblues » Thu Oct 23, 2025 8:57 pm

This is something I have done once before. For each song the first two lines are clues to words in the title. The third is a line from the song. For example, in the previous game the clues for one song were:

A bright color
Travels underwater
We all live in it

And the answer was Yellow Submarine.


1. Arcade game
Magic man
He stands like a statue

2. In some Eastern religions the belief that good deeds are rewarded
Member of the lizard family
It comes and goes

3. LB’s cartoon squirrel
They precede the means
Lord knows you’ve got to change

4. A preposition
A prime number
I learned the truth then

5. Ford product
Charlie Brown’s sister
You better slow it down

6. Taking steps with the basketball without dribbling
Music group
Someone got excited, had to call the state militia

7. Former Mets and Yankees outfielder
Pastures
Nothing is real

8. Another word for a highway
The number of ways to leave your lover plus the age at which Alice Cooper was a boy and was a man minus the number of tickets to Paradise (Or more simply put, 2/3 of the Luftballons)
Get your kicks there

Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.
