The Song Game

[Maggie]

I think of a song and post the lyrics (not all, just an exerpt). Then someone else must think of another set of song lyrics containg words from my song.

Rules:
-The words must be key words, not 'the,' 'and,' or whatever
-You must wait 3 post befor reentering.

I'll go first:

"Monday morning wake up knowing that youve got to go to school
Tell your mum what to expect, she says its right out of the blue
Do you went to work in debenhams, because thats what they expect
Start in lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor"

[Karen]

Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I'm writing you a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I rearrange the songs again
This mix could burn a hole in anyone
But it was you I was thinking of
It was you I was thinking of

[zmhuls8705]

Hello, Darkness, My old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly speaking
Left its seeds while i was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains
Within the sounds of silence

[Broken Girl Soldier]

Sun twinkling on the river this evening
The taste of chocolate on my tongue
Darkness climbing up the ladders to the sky
Rung by agonizing rung

Heard firecrackers popping next door
Wondered what it was I'd bargained for
And I laid quiet on the floor
And you were not here

Let me be a witness
Let me walk out on the edge
The sun refused to shine on my back yard today
Darkness climbing up the house
Coming through the window ledge

[Trick]

I feel the trembling tingle of a sleepless night
Creep through my fingers and the moon is bright
Beams of blue come flickering through my window pane
Like gypsy moths that dance around a candle flame

And I wonder if you know
That I never understood
That although you said you'd go
Until you did I never thought you would

[Indigo]

But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts,
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul

[Broken Girl Soldier]

I try to paint pictures drawn from my world,
A song is my canvas, brush strokes are words,
But do I portray love that is just my ideal,
Like sculptures of stone that can never be real.
For I am a man with romance, in my soul,
Do I cry for the moon as I reach for my goal.
Looking for a perfect love, looking for a perfect love.

Born of such innocence, how little we save,
Our spirits are tempered from cradle to grave,
If one drop of virtue can somehow survive,
from oceans of doubt all our dreams can arise.
For I am a man with a child in his soul,
I live on my hopes as I follow that road.
Looking for the perfect love, longing for the perfect love.

A thirst for perfection is in every heart,
Like the painter who won't be content with his art,
For those who drink deeply, all dreams heavy wine,
Look for heaven on earth, see a world more divine.
Looking for a perfect love, looking for a perfect love.
Looking for a perfect love, longing for a perfect love.

[Stan]

I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my day.
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised.

(chorus) The place where he was born and raised

For six long years I've been in trouble
No pleasures here on earth I found
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now.

(chorus) He has no friends to help him now

It's fare thee well my old lover
I never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon this train.

(chorus) Perhaps he'll die upon this train.

You can bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I may lay
Then you may learn to love another
While I am sleeping in my grave.

(chorus) While he is sleeping in his grave.

Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you'll never see no more.
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore.

(chorus) He'll meet you on God's golden shore..

[Her-mee-own]

I hear the train a comin'
it's rolling round the bend
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
but that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Anton..
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
now every time I hear that whistle I hang my head and cry..

I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
they're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
but those people keep a movin'
and that's what tortures me...

Well if they'd free me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move just a little further down the line
far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
and I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....

[Indigo]

Theres a place up ahead and Im goin just as fast as my feet can fly
Come away, come away if youre goin, leave the sinkin ship behind.

Come on the risin wind, were goin up around the bend.

Ooh!
Bring a song and a smile for the banjo, better get while the gettins good,
Hitch a ride to the end of the highway where the neons turn to wood.

[Hannah]

And we were trying different things, we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing 'Sweet Home Alabama' all summer long
Singing 'Sweet Home Alabama' all summer long


All Summer Long by Kid Rock :)

[Phineas de Romanus]

Gimme whiskey, gimme bourbon, give me gin Oh,
gimme whiskey, give me bourbon, gimme gin
'Cause it don't matter what I'm drinkin', Lord,
as long as it drown this sorrow I'm in

I start drinking Friday, I start drinking Friday
night Lord, I start drinking Friday, start
drinking Friday night But then I wake up on
Sunday, child, there ain't nothin' that's right

[Sarah Lenore]

So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind
So many years have passed, who are the noble and the wise?
Will all our sins be justified?

Please forgive me for the sorrow
For leaving you in fear
For the dreams we had to silence
That's all they'll ever be
Still I'll be the hand that serves you
Though you'll not see that it is me
