Lyrically Speaking - Day 4
2/12/2026
Triple Play!
All lyrics below are from three different artists: Steely Dan, Alan Parsons Project and Fleetwood Mac. The songs are not necessarily distributed equally among the three.
1 point for title, 1 point for artist (SD, APP or FM)
1- Why not think about times to come?
And not about the things that you've done
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do
2- You tell yourself you're not my kind
But you don't even know your mind
And you could have a change of heart
3- Something's happening
Happening to me
My friends say I'm acting peculiarly
Come on, baby
We better make a start
You better make it soon
Before you break my heart
4- Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give any more, don't ask me
That's how it goes 'cause part of me knows what you're thinking
5- Lightning strikes
Maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you
Ooh oh, and it all comes down to you
6- Back on the bottom line
Diggin' for a lousy dime, yeah
If I hit a mother lode
I'd cover anything that showed
7- Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
8- California tumbles into the sea
That'll be the day I go back to Annandale
I tried to warn you about Chino and Daddy Gee
But I can't seem to get to you through the US Mail
9- And someday in the midst of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that you were a friend of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
10- You been tellin' me you're a genius since you were seventeen
In all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean
The weekend in the college didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand
Deep cut bonus trio. The following three songs are less popular songs from the three artists (one from each). Two points for title, two points for artist.
11- Newfound cash soon begs to smash a state of mind
Close inspection fast revealed his favorite kind
Poor kid, he overdid
Embraced the spreading haze
12- Will I love you, I will, always
Will you stand by me always
'Cause Love is like a grain of sand
Slowly slippin' through your hand
13- The traveller is always leaving town
He never has the time to turn around
And if the road he's taken isn't leading anywhere
He seems to be completely unaware
Krox Bonus: Name another song you like (or tolerate) from any of the above artists.
(2 points)
Image bonus: Show me the power of THREE.
