Lyrically Speaking - 3/4/16

Message

#1 Post by **littlebeast13** » Fri Mar 04, 2016 9:05 am

Well, this is it everyone! It hasn't exactly been a banner year, but it's still been fun. The 2016 Lyrically Speaking Winter (Almost) Extravaganza ends with this final game. That bastard Donald Chump wanted to grab the hosting reigns yet again since this game was gonna be yuge, but I think he's gotten enough attention lately. As I've done the past couple years, I turned to my Music Choice channels to pick the songs for the finale by flipping back and forth between the more popular stations this morning. One of these songs was intentionally planted in this game by me, though longtime LSWE players will know and understand why it's here. Good luck, and thanks everyone for playing this impromptu version of the contest! I'll try to do a little better in 2017...

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...

1. I'm a little let down but I'm not dead
There's a little bit more that has to be said
You played me now I play you too
Let's just call it over

2. She was pure like snowflakes
No one could ever stain
The memory of my angel
Could never cause me pain

3. It's been a long night here, and a long night there
And these long long legs are damn near everywhere
(Hold up now) You look good, I will not lie
But if you ask where I'm staying tonight

4. And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish send it to heaven then make you want to cry..
The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty.
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of..
The highest power. In lonely hours. The tears devour you..

5. My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

6. Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
And I knew it was a spell she'd cast.

7. All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see your eyes
______, ______
I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me

8. When there's so much trouble that you want to cry
When your love has crumbled and you don't know why
When your hopes are fading and they can't be found
Dreams have left you waiting friends let you down

9. All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day

10. Take me for a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship
All my senses have been stripped
And my hands can't feel to grip
And my toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'

11. Steve walks warily down the street,
with the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,
machine guns ready to go

12. Herald what your mother said
Readin' the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
my oh my heh, hey

13. All of you girls had better stay inside your door now
He'll hurt you once, then turn around and hurt you some more now
While he's out betrayin'
You'll hear people sayin'

14. Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're all alone all you do is think

15. Who knows why
Someday we all must die
We're all homeless boys and girls
And we are never heard

16. I, I got a new life, you would hardly recognize me, I'm so glad
How can a person like me care for you?
I, why do I bother, when you're not the one for me?
Oo-hoo-hoo-oo-oo
Is enough enough?

17. It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city

18. Oh sometimes yeah it's true you really do abuse me
You get in a crowd of high class people and then you act real rude to me
But oh baby baby baby baby when you love me I can't get enough

19. And I'm lookin' in the mirror all the time, wondering what she don't see in me
I've been funny, I've been cool with the lines
Ain't that the way love supposed to be

20. Time keeps on slipping
Into the future
Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping
Into the future

21. You've been around all night and that's a little long
You think you've got the right but I think you've got it wrong
Why can't you say goodnight so you can take me home

22. Dark clouds are blowing in the wind
He's crossing your mind again
You got that sad sad feeling from a broken heart
Feeling so close to the edge

23. I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you

24. You like to drive like Mario Andretti
I like it taking my time
But let me say wherever you are going
You know it suits me just fine

25. It`s your life and you
Can do what you want
Do what you like but please
Don`t keep-a me waiting
Please don`t keep-a me waiting

26. Put on your high heels shoes
I said we're goin' down here listen to em play blues
We're gonna dig potatoes
We're gonna pick tomatoes

27. You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

28. I'll fix these broken things
Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything's alright
My pressure on her hips
Sinking my fingertips
Into every inch of you
Cause I know that's what you want me to do

29. I will have you
Yes, I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you

30. And if it got hot and hectic
I know she'd be electric
I'd let her take her chances with me
You see, the gets what she wants

Almost forgot about this. Would've sucked had I blown the perfect attendance bonus on the last day.

Thanks LB for these games. I always enjoy them...

Spoiler

Well, this is it everyone! It hasn't exactly been a banner year, but it's still been fun. The 2016 Lyrically Speaking Winter (Almost) Extravaganza ends with this final game. That bastard Donald Chump wanted to grab the hosting reigns yet again since this game was gonna be yuge, but I think he's gotten enough attention lately. As I've done the past couple years, I turned to my Music Choice channels to pick the songs for the finale by flipping back and forth between the more popular stations this morning. One of these songs was intentionally planted in this game by me, though longtime LSWE players will know and understand why it's here. Good luck, and thanks everyone for playing this impromptu version of the contest! I'll try to do a little better in 2017...

Me and BeBe think this has been the best Lyrically Speaking we've ever played!

9. All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day

Here's another one BeBe learned from the music machine at Sports School. She says it's called California Dreaming, by the Miss Mamas and the Mr. Papas.

21. You've been around all night and that's a little long
You think you've got the right but I think you've got it wrong
Why can't you say goodnight so you can take me home

I know this one. It's Mickey, by that cheerleader girl. I never figured out why a mouse needs a cheerleader. (BeBe thinks I should start a cheerleader camp if the rodeo thing doesn't take off. She says I'd be good at cheerleading because I'm bouncy and always enthusiastic.)

Don't you want to know a theme? If you do, it's Recycling. That's BeBe's pick. She likes Recycling because on recycling day, every other Tuesday, we get to see twice as many garbage guys through the fence. Some of them wave to us. In my opinion, BeBe also likes recycling because she has such a tiny little short name, Be, that she has to use it twice.

Well, this is it everyone! It hasn't exactly been a banner year, but it's still been fun. The 2016 Lyrically Speaking Winter (Almost) Extravaganza ends with this final game. That bastard Donald Chump wanted to grab the hosting reigns yet again since this game was gonna be yuge, but I think he's gotten enough attention lately. As I've done the past couple years, I turned to my Music Choice channels to pick the songs for the finale by flipping back and forth between the more popular stations this morning. One of these songs was intentionally planted in this game by me, though longtime LSWE players will know and understand why it's here. Good luck, and thanks everyone for playing this impromptu version of the contest! I'll try to do a little better in 2017...

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...

3. It's been a long night here, and a long night there

(Hold up now) You look good, I will not lie

4. And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish send it to heaven then make you want to cry..
The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty.
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of..
The highest power. In lonely hours. The tears devour you..

Showing the future, the past

I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me

And times when you're all alone all you do is think

Heart And Soul - Huey Lewis & The News

Kroxquo Bonus: Name a song with artist you heard recently.

One More Time - Joe Jackson - I'll even tell you a story. I recently saw an episode of Front & Center featuring Joe Jackson. He was one of my (& my friends') favorite artists back in the 80's. For no reason at all, I hadn't listened to him in a long time. Even at this age, he really sounded good and still had his bassist, Graham Maby, with him. I bought some of his CDs for my nephews and then played them for the oldest one as we were on a long drive. There were songs that I hadn't listened to for years, but the words were all still in my head. What really surprised me was that about every other song had a ska or reggae beat. I had NEVER considered him a ska artist, more just New Wave. My nephew looked at some of the pics on the CDs and the clothes could definitely fit in with that genre.

The next day, I Googled "80's Ska Bands" and at the top of the results page, Google displays a sliding band of results. They DID NOT include Joe Jackson. I could see them being overlooked, but the listed other bands that were way less ska to me. They included the Police?!?!

Image Bonus: Bid the 2016 LSWE a visual fond farewell!

Thanks for the games, lb!!!11 These were fun. I don't know how you found the time and inspiration for some of those lavish, complicated games you developed in the past.

I was thinking the same thing as I was typing them, but I was in a hurry and didn't want to leave 'em blank on the last day of the contest, hence the even lamer than usual responses. Thanks for the pity points
