Lyrically Speaking - Day 8
2/18/2026
Triple play, Part 2
All lyrics below are from three different artists: Dire Straits, The Moody Blues and Genesis. The songs are not necessarily distributed equally among the three.
1 point for title, 1 point for artist (DS, MB or G)
1- Look up on the wall, there on the floor
Under the pillow, behind the door
There's a crack in the mirror
Somewhere there's a hole in a window pane
Do you think I'm to blame?
Tell me, do you think I'm to blame?
2- No fear alone at night
She's sailing through the crowd
In her ears the phones are tight
And the music's playing loud
Hallelujah
3- Turnin' me on, turnin' me off
Making me feel like I want too much
Livin' with you is just putting me through it all of the time
4- Something calls to me
The trees are drawing me near
I've got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh
5- And then the man, he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last, just as the time bell rings
"Goodnight, now it's time to go home"
Then he makes it fast with one more thing
6- Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day
7- Oh, Superman, where are you now
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour
8- And he's up there, what's that?
Hawaiian noises?
Bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee
9- He'll fly his astral plane
Takes you trips around the bay
Brings you back the same day
Timothy Leary, Timothy Leary
10- Well, I'd been waiting for this weekend
I thought that maybe we could see a show
Never dreamed I'd have this feeling
Oh, but seeing you is believing
That's why I don't know why
You didn't show up that night
11- First night, so long
A state of mind
What can go wrong
We're here, the time is right
To rock 'n' roll
Right through the night
Deep cuts bonus (one song from each of the three artists):
2 points for title, 2 points for artist
12- My boat sails stormy seas
Battles oceans filled with tears
At last my port's in view
Now that I've discovered you
13- Just the way that her hair fell down around her face
Then I recall my fall from grace
Another time, another place
14- Throw me a lifeline
I'll keep a place for you
Somewhere deep inside
