Lyrically Speaking 11-4-25

#1 Post by elwoodblues » Mon Nov 03, 2025 9:45 pm

If you thought there was a lot of death imagery in the last game, wait until you see this one. Today we have groups which have only one original member who is still alive. In addition to the title and artist, you will get a point for naming the original member who is still with us.


1. Well, I had to follow you
Though you did not want me to
But that won't stop my loving you
I can't stay away

2. Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees)
And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)

3. 'Cause I'm leavin' in the morning
And I must see you again
We'll have one more night together
'Til the morning brings my train
And I must go

4. Maybe I might have changed
And not been so cruel
Not been such a fool

5. Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul
Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon
Politicians say more taxes will solve everything
And the band played on

6. Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags when ____ roared out his name

7. But how many heartaches must I stand
Before I find a love to let me live again
Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on
When I feel my strength, yeah, it's almost gone

8. I'm with you, my love
The light's shining through on you
Yes, I'm with you, my love
It's the morning and just we two


Bonus: What was the original name of the group in #7?
