Monday morning! And what could be better than a LS game that involves one year from the 1990’s?
How about an LS game that involves two years from the 1990’s!
Couldn’t decide where to go on this one and was pretty pressed for time, so it’s 1992 & 1993.

LS #11………………………………………….1992/93

Good Luck and Have Fun!

1. She dances while his father plays guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
We all want something beautiful
Man I wish I was beautiful

2. I want to love somebody
I hear you need somebody to love
Oh I want to love somebody
I hear you`re looking for somebody to love

3. Maybe a great magnet pulls
All souls towards truth
Or maybe, it is life itself
That feeds wisdom to it`s youth

4. I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday, I don't care about you

5. Jesus loves you more than you will know
Whoa, whoa, whoa

6. All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin’ the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
and speak my point of view

7. What if I ride? What if you walk?
What if you rock around the clock?
Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
What if you did? What if you walk?
What if you tried to get off, baby?

8. Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded

9. When you were here before,
couldn't look you in the eye.
You're just like an angel,
your skin makes me cry.
You float like a feather,
in a beautiful world
I wish I was special,
you're so #$*&@* special.

10. I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey, so did you
So why were you holding her hand
Is that the way we stand
Were you lying all the time
Was it just a game to you

1. She dances while his father plays guitar

Man I wish I was beautiful

Mr. Jones, Counting Crows, from the album Music to Commit Suicide By. Okay, just kidding, but they have these bouncy hits and then the rest of the album is so dreary...

2. I want to love somebody
I hear you need somebody to love
Oh I want to love somebody
I hear you`re looking for somebody to love

This is familiar and poppish and I like it and I can't place it! Male voice....

3. Maybe a great magnet pulls
All souls towards truth
Or maybe, it is life itself
That feeds wisdom to it`s youth

Constant Craving, k d lang

4. I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday, I don't care about you

Friday, I'm in Love, Cure

5. Jesus loves you more than you will know
Whoa, whoa, whoa

Mrs. Robinson, and all I can think is "Evan." Yes, I'm vague....

6. All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin’ the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
and speak my point of view

Alrighty then! We lived in an apartment when my first son was born, and he was less than a month old, and the people across the hall played this song over and over and over and over one day because some girl was going to perform it that night. So when I hear (the late) Shannon Hoon's voice, I think of my hulking son as a tiny baby. No Rain, Blind Melon

7. What if I ride? What if you walk?
What if you rock around the clock?
Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
What if you did? What if you walk?
What if you tried to get off, baby?

SOMEone who shall remain nameless but I'm married to him lost my copy of Automatic for the People and is buying me a new one for Christmas this year....

Drive, REM

8. Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded

I like this. What the heck is it!?!?

9. When you were here before,
couldn't look you in the eye.
You're just like an angel,
your skin makes me cry.
You float like a feather,
in a beautiful world
I wish I was special,
you're so #$*&@* special.

Creep, Radiohead

10. I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey, so did you
So why were you holding her hand
Is that the way we stand
Were you lying all the time
Was it just a game to you

Also familiar. Grrrrr...

1. She dances while his father plays guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
We all want something beautiful
Man I wish I was beautiful
DNC Mr. Jones – The Counting Crows

OK, forget ELO, these guys are my guilty pleasure! Everything says that I should dislike them, but for some reason I don’t. And yes I also dislike Billy Joel, Phish & Dave Matthews (who could hate James Taylor?).

2. I want to love somebody
I hear you need somebody to love
Oh I want to love somebody
I hear you`re looking for somebody to love
DNC Girlfriend – Matthew Sweet

How could this NOT be a Top 10 hit? It is such a great song, from such a great album. And it’s still getting airplay 15 years later.

3. Maybe a great magnet pulls
All souls towards truth
Or maybe, it is life itself
That feeds wisdom to it`s youth
#38 Constant Craving - k.d. lang

I love k.d. lang, there I said it and I don’t care. I was fortunate enough to get to see her around the time of this album, and they were free tickets from the record company to boot (one of the few times).

4. I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday, I don't care about you
#18 Friday I’m in Love - the Cure

For some reason my 8-year old knows this song, must have something to do with the Disney channel.

5. Jesus loves you more than you will know
Whoa, whoa, whoa
#8 Mrs. Robinson – The Lemonheads

Yes Evan Dando singing about something other than his stove.

6. All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin’ the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
and speak my point of view
#20 No Rain - Blind Melon

I was hard up for a song, so shoot me.

7. What if I ride? What if you walk?
What if you rock around the clock?
Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
What if you did? What if you walk?
What if you tried to get off, baby?
#28 Drive - REM – Automatic

I started to lose interest in them not long after this album, but this one is great.

8. Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded
#5 Soul Asylum – Runaway Train

I really only like the one album from them, and this song is one of my favorites.

9. When you were here before,
couldn't look you in the eye.
You're just like an angel,
your skin makes me cry.
You float like a feather,
in a beautiful world
I wish I was special,
you're so %&*$#@ special.
#34 Creep – Radiohead

I love this song, if only because it steals from The Hollies The Air That I Breathe. I can hardly believe that it made it to #34

10. I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey, so did you
So why were you holding her hand
Is that the way we stand
Were you lying all the time
Was it just a game to you
#8 Linger – The Cranberries

I appreciated them more later on, but I’m still not a huge fan.
