It's simple, really...

Look at the lyric below. See how it ends with a word in italics? Think of a lyric from another song that has that word in it. Now write it in the next post, making sure to say what it is and who it is by.

Now, the next person will have to find a lyric that contains the last word of your lyric! See how it could go on forever?

Let's see how long this lasts...

A nice easy one, then:

This is not really happening...
You bet your life it is!

('Cornflake Girl', Tori Amos)

Is there anybody out there

(pink floyd)

And when she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for

('Stairway To Heaven', Led Zeppelin)

I like the sound of your whistle
I like the way you wear your grin
I even like the taste of my will caving in
I'm not a junkie FOR your love
I'm not a junkie
I'm not a junkie for your love
I'm not a junkie
Don't tell the captian
Don't you tell him what I've done

(Junkie, by Poe)

No time to think about what to tell them
No time to think about what she's done
And she was

('And She Was', Talking Heads)

The sirens are screaming
and the fires are howling
way down in the valley tonight.
There's a man in the shadows
with a gun in his eye
and the blade shining oh so bright.
There's evil in the air
there's thunder in the sky
and a killer's on the bloodshot streets.
And down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising
oh I swear I saw a young boy
down in the gutter he was starting to foam in the heat.

Bat Out Of Hell - Meatloaf

The heat is on,
The heat is oh - on,
The heat is on,
It's on the street,
The heat is...
on

(The heat is on - Glenn Frey, from the Beverley Hills Cop soundtrack)

(sorry for the crappy choon guys )

Turn me ON yeah
Electric head all over
Turn me on yeah
Electric head all OVER

(electric head/white zombie)

leo, that song was so comedy that I almost forgive you for posting before I could. I had the lyrics for 'White Light/White Heat' by Velvet Undergound ready to roll...

Ooh this uncertainty, is taking me over
Is taking me over

To tread this fantasy, openly
What have I done

('Over', Portishead)

Now I will tell you what I've DONE for you
50 thousand tears I've cried
Screaming deceiving and bleeding for you
And you still won't hear ME

(Going Under/Evanescence)

when i found you
you were better off
then i found you
but i took too long
so can you take me on

this is your warning
i lost my touch
you've got a lot to ask for
i don't have much
so can you take me on

i found you alone
cast a smile cast a stone
it's a better me beginning to show
and i let it go
watch me let it go tonight
it's a total eclipse of the sun
are you having fun
is this what you had in mind

"You Were Better Off" (http://www.mp3.com/darbyjones)
DARBYJONES!!!

WAHOO YAY

I can't drink this coffee
Till I put you in my closet
Let him shoot ME down
Let him call ME off
I take it from his whisper
Your not that tough

Kristin Hersh
Hips and Makers (1994)
Your Ghost

(oops looks like we posted at the same time lol)

(Ill pull mine and add on to yours..no worries )

(haha or! ill do yours and youll do mine and we can agree on the same last word?

hmmm...)

(hummmm.. I dont know if I can provide the required amount of brain power but I will try... This could be a challange.. think of a good word... )

(this "tough" one was tough!!)

The sorrys they follow so soon
Eager for hopeless resume and you ask why you?
The shouting just cuts through the wall and
the shadows connect on the wall but you're too tough, you're too tough to fall

So what lead you here? Was it the man or the misery?
And what are you in for? It's not love but sympathy


"Sympathy"/Lanky(lankymusic.com)

now that I know that I'm breaking to pieces I'll
pull out my heart and I'll feed it to anyone
crying for sympathy crocodile cry for the love
of the crowd and the three cheers from
everyone dropping through sky through the
glass of the roof through the roof of your mouth

The Cure
Disintegration

(oh my god that was hard!)

I want to be by myself, sometimes I do.
I don't want to be left behind, but sometimes I'm left by you.

I press my tongue to the top of my mouth,
’cause my jaw, was tired from the thinking.
I stretched my toes to the end of the couch,
'cause my back, it was aching from sleeping.

So what is this weather, and what is this darkness,
and why do I feel so ALONE?

"Alone" / Lisa Loeb

I'm missing your bed, I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak
& this bottle of beast is taking me home.
I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets
You're not alone & you're not discreet.
You make sure I know, who's taking you home.
I'm reading your note over again.
There is not a word that I comprehend,
except when you signed it
"I will love you always & forever"
As for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs,
and sit alone and wonder,
how you're making out,
but as for me I wish that I was anywhere
with anyone making out

(Screaming Infedelities, Dashboard Confessional)

hummm

(this is gon be tough, maybe ill write a song)

You allude to everything negative there was
Making out that's all we had
Couldn't you believe that there would be an end to it
All the good could be that bad

There is just one thing to say
There's a lesson here to learn, Can you use it in any way?
You are nothing without my love
Olive
You Are Nothing

(how great is this, im using the same song twice!! a different part though)

You were leaving some bar, and you're coming downtown,
You're not ripping out stitches, but you want me around.
Just to call you my love, just to call you my love.

You are the treasure custodian cleaning the moon for me.
Scouring the sky so the stars would shine bright.
You stand straight-faced, and tip-toed on top of a ladder,
and I wait.

"Alone"/Lisa Loeb

I crawl out of sight for you dear
I melt with the night, I disappear
I won't have more fun with you
Never get drunk with you
I'm letting you go for good

I've pulled it apart for you dear
I wait for my hear to shift gear
I'll let you down for good

Veruca Salt (ummmmm veruca salt... one of the greatest girl rock bands of all time)
The Break-up Song

Oh these little rejections how they seem so real to me
One forgotten birthday I'm all but cooked
How these little abandonments seem to sting so easily
I'm 13 again am I 13 for good ?

I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful
So unloved for someone so fine
I can feel so boring for someone so interesting
So ignorant for someone of sound mind

(So Unsexy, Alanis Morrissette)

Was I out of my head?
Was I out of my mind?
How could I have ever been so blind...

Fastball - Out Of My Head

'Cause I'm a blonde, yeah, yeah, yeah.
'Cause I'm a blonde, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I took a VD test, and I passed it, of course.
I can't spell VW, but I got a Porsche,
'Cause I'm a blonde, B-L-I-N-D.
I'm a blonde; don't you wish you were me?
I just want to say that being chosen this month's Miss August
Is, like, a compliment that I'll remember for as long as I can.
Right now I'm a freshman in my fourth year at UCLA,
And my goal is to become a veterinarian because I love children.

(Cuz I'm A Blond, Julie Brown)

hummm

(thanks )

I believe the children are the future..
treat them well and let them lead the way..
show them all the beauty they possess inside..

(Whitney Houston)

Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark...

Evanescence - Bring Me To Life

Beneath the old iron bridges, across the victorian parks,
& all the frightened people running home before dark,
Past the saturday morning cinema that lies crubling to the ground,
& the piss stinking shopping centre on the new side of town

"Heartland" - The The

I been hangin' around this town on the corner
I been bummin' around this old town for way too long

Counting Crows - Hangin' Around

Better than watching Gellar bending silver spoons
Better than witnessing newborn nebulaes in bloom
She who sees from up high smiles and surely sings
Perspective pries your once weighty eyes and it gives you wings
I haven't felt the way I feel today
In so long it's hard for me to specify
I'm beginning to notice how much this feels
Like a waking limb, pins and needles, nice to know you
Goodbye, nice to know you
Goodbye, nice to know you

(Nice to Know you, Incubus)

Every time we say goodbye, I cry a little
Every time we say goodbye, I wonder why a little
There's no love song finer,
but how strange the change, from major to minor

"Every time we say goodbye" - George Gershwin

i change the key from c to d its jsut a MINOR change but...

(rhcp- minor change)

I know your back's against the wall
but this roaring silence won't devour us all

"Don't Fall" - Chameleons

the pigs have won tonight
now they can all sleep soundly
and everything is all right

"march of the pigs"-NIN

A cigarette rests between her lips
But I'm starin at her tits
It's the wrong way
(I forget the next line because my moms blasting music)
We tried to make it RIGHT
For even sh*t was tight
It was the wrong WAY

(Wrong Way/Sublime)

Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there... waiting for
Dani the girl
is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee... overload
"by the way"-rhcp

make it up unless you know a better way
it's for better or worse and it can't be that bad
i'll just keep my wheels on the road
try to keep up with my good intentions
am i fading fast or asleep at the wheel

now history's repeating again
how i feel my body aching
sideswiped, glass smashed, i'm spinning down the bank
am i dead in this car crash

"Faster than Your Angel" / Darby Jones

(hahahaa... this is the problem with these forums, people posting at the same time, i say we just go with it)

Car crash
Ending your days
At the side of the road
Are you trembling
Are you trembling
They'll wake up today
To the papers that say
Oh, well it was too hard to tell
He was swerving
They were swerving
Much too late

(Car Crash, Our Lady Peace)

Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

"Bohemian Rhapsody" - Queen

I been Norman Mailered, Maxwell Taylored.
I been John O'Hara'd, McNamara'd.
I been Rolling Stoned and Beatled till I'm blind.
I been Ayn Randed, nearly branded
Communist, 'cause I'm left-handed.
That's the hand I use, well, never mind!
I been Phil Spectored, resurrected.
I been Lou Adlered, Barry Sadlered.
Well, I paid all the dues I want to pay.
And I learned the truth from Lenny Bruce,
And all my wealth won't buy me health,
So I smoke a pint of tea a day

Simon and Garfunkel

A Simple Desultory Phillipic

At last my love has come along
My lonely DAYs are over
And life is like a song
At last the skys above are blue

(At last/Etta James)

It's a beautiful day, the sky falls
You feel like it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

(It's a beautiful Day, U2)

2 posts at the same time grrrr

and if i find you will you still remember
playing at trains
or does this little blue ball
just fade away over silbury hill through the solar field
you know that i will follow you
i'm aware what the rules are
but you know that i will run
you know that i will follow you
