Lyrically Speaking - 1/30/23

Meet Tiamat, the original Final Fantasy's fiend of the wind. She's a real beauty, isn't she? I wonder how long it takes her each morning to do makeup on six heads? Anyway, here's the LSWE game dedicated to the element she loves to control most, air. Anyone fouling up Tiamat's air is going to get a face full of firebreath, and forfeit all JJC points....

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


1. Feed the babies
Who dont have enough to eat
Shoe the children
With no shoes on their feet

2. Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay

3. I gave you love
I thought that we had made it to the top
I gave you all I had to give
Why did it have to stop?

4. It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it
I would be nothing without you

5. My body is burning, it starts to shout
Desire is coming, it breaks out loud

6. There's a rumor goin' around the town.
That you don't want me around.
I can't shake off my city blues.
Everywhere I turn, I lose.

7. Well, I got that green light, baby
I got to keep movin' on
Well, I got that green light, baby
I got to keep movin' on

8. No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read

9. The telephone is ringing
I say, "hi, it's me, who is there on the line?"
A voice says, "hi, hello, how are you?"
"Well, I guess I'm doin' fine"

10. With the wind in your hair of a thousand laces
Climb on the back and we'll go for a ride in the sky

11. Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else

12. No more sick, whiskey dick
No more battles from me
You'll be callin' a trick
'Cause you no longer sleep


Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that contains something to do with the air in the title.

Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay

Every Police song is my least favourite Police song....

3. I gave you love
I thought that we had made it to the top

Why did it have to stop?

Sky High - Jigsaw

That's one from the moldy oldie bin, right next to Cups and Cakes!

But I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it
I would be nothing without you

5. My body is burning, it starts to shout

Ugh! This is not worth a definite article...

7. Well, I got that green light, baby
I got to keep movin' on
Well, I got that green light, baby
I got to keep movin' on

Get Off My Cloud - Rolling Stones

10. With the wind in your hair of a thousand laces
Climb on the back and we'll go for a ride in the sky

Jet - Paul MCartney (probably bewinged)

One of the few solo McCartney songs that doesn't suck

If it helps any, it gave me a good laugh and that ought to be worth a JJCP, maybe two! But it's not up to me, I would have given Earl a supermax yesterday just for fried chicken. So what do I know....

Nothing to eat, no books to read

The Air That I Breathe - The Hollies


9. The telephone is ringing
I say, "hi, it's me, who is there on the line?"
A voice says, "hi, hello, how are you?"
"Well, I guess I'm doin' fine"

Get Off Of My Cloud - Rolling Stones


10. With the wind in your hair of a thousand laces
Climb on the back and we'll go for a ride in the sky

Jet - Paul McCartney & Wings


11. Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else

99 Red Balloons - Nena


12. No more sick, whiskey dick
No more battles from me
You'll be callin' a trick
'Cause you no longer sleep

Blow Me (One Last Kiss) - P!nk


Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that contains something to do with the air in the title.

1952 Vincent Black Lightning - Richard Thompson

1. Feed the babies
Who dont have enough to eat
Shoe the children
With no shoes on their feet
Fly Like An Eagle - Steve Miller Band (Always good for an LSWE theme, but this song sucks...)

2. Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
Every Breath You Take - Police

3. I gave you love
I thought that we had made it to the top
I gave you all I had to give
Why did it have to stop?
Sky High - Jigsaw (The video of them performing this song on one of those ubiquitous 70's music shows is well worth the watch for its cheesiness....)

4. It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it
I would be nothing without you
Wind Beneath My Wings - Bette Milder (And apparently Gary Morris, whose version is somehow even worse than Bette's, to me anyway....)

5. My body is burning, it starts to shout
Desire is coming, it breaks out loud
Rock You Like A Hurricane - Scorpions

6. There's a rumor goin' around the town.
That you don't want me around.
I can't shake off my city blues.
Everywhere I turn, I lose.
Love Is Like Oxygen - Sweet

7. Well, I got that green light, baby
I got to keep movin' on
Well, I got that green light, baby
I got to keep movin' on
The Breeze - Lynyrd Skynyrd (and Jy Jy Cyle)

8. No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read
The Air That I Breathe - Hollies

9. The telephone is ringing
I say, "hi, it's me, who is there on the line?"
A voice says, "hi, hello, how are you?"
"Well, I guess I'm doin' fine"
Get Off My Cloud - Rolling Stones

10. With the wind in your hair of a thousand laces
Climb on the back and we'll go for a ride in the sky
Jet - Wings (Did not even realize this was a double fit...)

11. Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
99 Red Balloons - Nena (The German version was fine. I'm only a hardass on the Krox...)

12. No more sick, whiskey dick
No more battles from me
You'll be callin' a trick
'Cause you no longer sleep
Blow Me (One Last Kiss) - Pink (The only song you'll ever see me add the parenthetical to...)

The good news is that everyone's Image Bonus counted today! It was a good crop too. Earendel found a way to suck up to the meister that I wasn't expecting, so he gets the IBB for this game!
