Lyrically Speaking - 2/27/08

#1 Post by Bored Sweeper » Wed Feb 27, 2008 6:50 am

When LB offered me the chance to host one of his Wacky Wednesday games, there was no question about when it was going to appear. So when he promised me I'd get the final week, I put together this nice list of songs for the occasion of closing out the Winter 2008 LS... then I find out there's two more games after mine!?!?!? How in the hell am I supposed to properly clean up after the mess this game has caused if I'm not even at the end of the line!?!?!? If you see LB walking a little funny later on, it may have something to do with where the butt-end of my pushbroom's about to end up....

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, and clean up your own damn messes!



1. So gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend

2. I could leave but I won't go
though my heart might tell me so
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes

3. They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can

4. She said I'm sorry pretty baby, you know my love is just for you
She said I'm sorry pretty baby, you know my love is just for you
Won't you say that you'll forgive me,
and say your love for me is true

5. We belong together
And you know that I am right
Why do you play with my heart
Why do you play with my mind

6. All the things that I used to say
All the words that got in the way
All the things that I used to know
Have gone out the window

7. Old woman old woman, oh you treat me so mean,
You're the meanest old woman that I ever have seen,

8. Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

9. It’s been six months
She hasn’t shut up once
I’ve tried to explain
She’s driving me insane

10. 'Cause baby it's over now
No need to talk about it
It's not the same
My love for you's just not the same

11. Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please

12. I'm doin' this tonight,
You're probably gonna start a fight.
I know this can't be right

1. So gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend

This is familiar!

2. I could leave but I won't go
though my heart might tell me so
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes

That's All, Genesis? Or just Phil. I say Genesis.

3. They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can

Beat It, Michael Jackson. I expected Oral B to use this one!

4. She said I'm sorry pretty baby, you know my love is just for you
She said I'm sorry pretty baby, you know my love is just for you
Won't you say that you'll forgive me,
and say your love for me is true

Nope

5. We belong together
And you know that I am right
Why do you play with my heart
Why do you play with my mind

The End of the Road, Boyz II Men. They're kinda chubby now...

6. All the things that I used to say
All the words that got in the way
All the things that I used to know
Have gone out the window

ACK! I know this is Sugar Ray and it's always on those Kids Bop commercials, but I don't know what it's called....

7. Old woman old woman, oh you treat me so mean,
You're the meanest old woman that I ever have seen,

Hit the Road, Jack, and I can't think of ANYone who recorded it, so I'm going to say JJ Cale just to torture you! :P

8. Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

The End, The Doors

9. It’s been six months
She hasn’t shut up once
I’ve tried to explain
She’s driving me insane

I'll Talk to You Later. The Tubes. I like this one!

10. 'Cause baby it's over now
No need to talk about it
It's not the same
My love for you's just not the same

Goodbye to You, Scandal. I love this one!

11. Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please

Something like Waiting For the End of the Line. I can hear it and I think of Tom Petty, but I know it's not him...

12. I'm doin' this tonight,
You're probably gonna start a fight.
I know this can't be right

Bye Bye Bye, N'Sync

The ones I can't get aren't Leave (Get Out) by JoJo or Kiss Him Goodbye by Steam, so I don't have a blanket WAG to insert here.

They put on a Vegas-style show that was a complete knockout! Incredible energy. They were having as much fun as we were. Maybe more! :D ]

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, and clean up your own damn messes!


Spoiler
1. Closing Time - Semisonic (I know many don't like this song, but I love it, must be the ex-bar employee in me)

2. That's All - Genesis

3. Beat It - Michael "I'm gonna loose my house" Jackson

4. See You Later Alligator - Bill Haley (As a kid, I always thought that the next line was "That's a Wild Crocodile")

5. Nope

6. Hmm, I always thought that this song was called "All The Things", but since it's part of the clue, I suppose I'm wrong, anyway it's Sugar Ray (btw, their Lemonade & Brownies album cover is one of my all-time favs)

7. Hit The Road Jack - Ray Charles, JJ Cale & Buster Poindexter

8. The End - The Doors (It's about time that The Doors made it to an LB LS..."The killer awoke before dawn..."

9. Take To Ya Later - The Tubes

10. Goodbye To You- Scandal featuring Patty Smyth (I have a Scandal story, but it's best left for another time)

11. End of the Line - The Traveling Wilburys

12. Nope

Glad that I missed that last one, I'd be pissed if I only missed the one.

Some of my favorite "Ending" songs are: Roxy Music - Over You, Roy Orbison - It's Over, Willie Nile - It's All Over, The Replacements - Here Comes a Regular, The Beatles - Good Night...well that's a few of them.
