OK..... I KNOW some of you will kick yourselves when you get the answer to this one..... if it doesn't immediately hit you that is.... ;)

Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.

I Am the Walrus

No you just have good taste in music. Wm. Hung is the guy who was so BAD when auditioning for American Idol that he became famous.... you might have heard his rendition of "She Bangs" (originally by Ricky Martin I think) followed by gales of laughter. If you haven't heard it/seen it, you definately should..... it will make you feel a lot better about dancing in public.:p It is probably on the internet somewhere..... everything else is...:rolleyes:

Ok. It's been a few hours without a guess, so here's a clue. The song is the title track from a 1986 album by award winning female acoustic blues guitarist/singer/songwriter.

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Ok. One more hint before I leave for the day. The artist's name rhymes with the title of the song (and two of the words in the lines I provided). Maybe y'all will have something for me tomorrow? ;)

Edit: Ok I have one.... it's probably too easy, but I can never think of anything good

For a second that place was lost in space
Then everything went black
I left that basement burning
And I never went back

The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...

Alright. Time to drop a hint. I can pretty much guarantee that almost everybody on the board has at least heard the music (if not the lyrics). It's a theme song from a movie that became an extremely popular T.V. series.

[Philbe]

its the mash theme from the movie by Johnny Mandel...

Oh I get to play..

" Lets put a new coat of paint on this lonesome old town"

For those who may be interested, the lyrics I posted were from the title track to Common Ground from the Paul Winter Consort. A group with four Grammy's and a number of nominations. Paul Winter has played in such obscure and unknown places as The White House, The United Nations and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. So I'm probably not the only human being familiar with his work. :p ;)

Philbe's lyrics are from Tusk by Fleetwood Mac.

I'll be back in a few minutes with my next offering.

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Here's something probably closer to y'alls "beaten path". ;)




I was took in Texas I did not know her name
Lord, all these southern girls seem the same

[Sensei_the_dojo]

C'mon guys and gals, that one should be easy. If you've ever listened to classic rock you're sure to have heard this band, and probably this song.

[happychem]

Sensei, I get the feeling that I'm gonna smack myself when someone guesses it, I know I know it, but I can't think of it! Curses!

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Let's say that this was "probably" the best known Irish rock band before U2.

[Wippit Guud]

Thin Lizzy was not, nor ever will be, 'well known' :P
Cowboy Song, incedentally...


Lets see... lets pick what should've been my wedding song...

Love of my life
I know what I'd like to give you
What's in my heart
Is all that I can really give you
Love
Undyling love is what I have
A handful of words
That might make you laugh

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Ok. Maybe Thin Lizzy will never be the household name that Frozen Ghost is, :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: but while you were still trotting around in diapers they had a pretty big hit with "The Boys Are Back In Town". How many "Irish" rock groups had bigger hits before U2 came around? ;)

Your lyrics are from "Dream Come True"


Next up.


They say we've only got one lifetime
with a world of things to do here,
and it's crazy to be tied down,
while we're only passing through here.

[Sensei_the_dojo]

That one's perhaps a bit obscure. Here are some hints. It's on a solo album from a member of a band in one of my earlier posts.
The album is named for a track that appears both on the solo album and on the group's seventh (or should I say VIIth) album, but the lyrics I posted are from a song that only appears on the solo album.

If nobody figures it out, I'll post something easier tomorrow.

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Sorry guys. I guess that one was pretty tough. The lines are from the song "Temporary Jones" by Robert Lamm. It's on his "Skinny Boy" solo album, and "Skinny Boy" is on the Chicago VII album.

Here's one that should be pretty easy, especially since you Canadian fellows seem to be the only ones playing lately.

All the world's indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage

[Philbe]

Thanks for the canadian referance there Sensei...I have seen RUSH a few times and Limelight is a great tune. Not quite like their really early stuff but...


"Know this child will be gifted
With love, with patience
And with faith

[Philbe]

Lets change this a tad. What are some lyrics that touch your heart or brings a tear everytime you hear them.
Mine would be from REM Everybody Hurts
and LedZep Stairway to Heaven..the longest waltz that sometimes was not long enough.

[ash]

I know it I know it ! Natalie Merchant - Wonder
Okay- (edit I'm going to change that because now that I think about it the title of the song I put originally might not be okay for in here- sorry)

We'll be the faces in the clouds
We'll be a gospel singer's shout

hmm...guess not.
Anyhow ash your is You and eye by David Byrne.

Do they play elsewhere, or do the know
more than their childhood games ?
Maybe the lizard's shed it's tail,
This is the end of man's union with Earth.

[Corax]

Ahh, finally... One I don't hafta Google!

That would be Genesis, Watcher of the skies...

Here's on that isn't even a real band:

I know what you want and what your thinking
I can free your sexuality
No ones ever tortured you with pleasure
Pleasures all you'll ever feel from me

Name the "band", movie and singer (character's name, not the actor), then I'm impressed..

[heat]

Not sure... but giving it a shot will wait to post my lyrics until I know it's the right one.

Blood Pollution is the "band", song is Stand Up, movie is Rock Star, actor is Wahlberg, character name is Chris Cole.
Note Blood Pollution is a tribute band for Steel Dragon.

[Corax]

I was going for Steel Dragon, cuz Blood Pollution was only doing a tribute to their song.. But, I'd say you nailed it.. Most, most most impressive.. Did you hafta Google that one or are you a fan?

[heat]

I liked the movie so did some searching when I first saw it. The words rang the bell so I had to make sure. :)

Lyrics..

There's a step that we all take alone
An appointment we have with the great unknown
Like a vapor this life is just waiting to pass
Like the flowers that fade, like the withering grass

[Corax]

I love the movie. VH1 has been running it like wild lately. I saw it back in the day and loved it then. So many things rang true from that movie. Striving to emulate a "hero" until you realize one day that your voice had never been heard. For me that was 11th grade when I wrote a song for my girlfriend at the time. She helped me realize I had a song to sing of my own.. From that day, I haven't sat down with a guitar magazine and intentionally learned a song note for note. If I can't say it in my own voice, it ain't worth saying.

No idea on your lyrics, but they are quite nice.. Gonna Google it for my own sanity's sake...................

ahh, gotcha.. Thought I recognized the genre at least.

[heat]

*chuckle* Corax, I have a thing for hair bands and the 80's. Had to see the movie when it came out. Then when I saw it I liked it more. :)
I can't agree with you more on it being your own. That's how many who write books/stories/poetry or lyrics feel if it's really in their soul.

[Corax]

I feel ya on the hair metal.. I grew up when big hair and screaming guitars meant exciting Friday nights and groggy Saturday mornings. I think my all time fave hair band has to be Dokken for the pure musicianship of George Lynch. He made "hair metal" a respectable form of music instead of just a comic book. He was one of the voices I tried to emulate back in the day. There can be only one George Lynch though ;)

[heat]

Saturdays had mornings in the 80's?? ;) I figured those didn't happen until I became a responsible adult.

[heat]

wow.. no one.
Okay for those who care it was Petra-Graverobber.


One more try...

A legendary character
When?
Only then
Where?
Only there
A hero or a hooligan?
Well, that part’s never clear
Pride or shame, it’s all the same
Who’s innocent or who’s to blame?
Politics or just a game?

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Rascal King - Mighty Mighty Bosstones





Like a ship without an achor
Like a slave without a chain
Just the thought of those sweet ladies
Sends a shiver through my veins

[heat]

Supertramp-Goodbye Stranger


So you think my singing's out of time, well it makes me money
And I don't know why
And I don't know why anymore
Oh no

[Philbe]

Talk about hair bands...Cum on feel the Noise..Quiet Riot.

One of my
vavs from the 'hair days' is

Give me a shout, let me hear you're out there
The wilder you scream for some more rock'n roll.

[heat]

Scorpions Coming Home.


Clouds made of carrots and peas
Mountains built of shepherd's pie
And rivers made of macarroni and cheese

The Lunchlady Song - Adam Sandler



Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred,
Tan me hide when I'm dead.
So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde,
(spoken)And that's it hanging on the shed.

[happychem]

Tie me Kangaroo down sport - Rolf Harris

[happychem]

Standing in the rain, with his head hung low
Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show
Hear the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
Put his ear to the wall, then like a distant scream

[jacblades]

jukebox hero-foreigner!
gotta think of one-gimme a sec

[jacblades]

this is one of my all time favorite songs:) to give you a hint, its the story of icarus.

Jesus, gonna make up my dying bed.
meet me, Jesus, meet me. meet me in the middle of the air
if my wings should fail me, Lord. please meet me with another pair.

[ash]

I know there is a folk song called 'Jesus is a Dying Bedmaker' but I don't know that it can be attributed to any one artist- Have you ever heard of Big Smith Jacblades? they revisited that song and called it well, well, well. Pretty cool song. Am I way off?

[Sensei_the_dojo]

In My Time of Dying - Josh White, or Bob Dylan, others . .



After the turn of the century
In the clear blue skies over Germany
Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard
Like the scream and the sound of a big war bird

[happychem]

A childhood fav.

Snoopy vs. the Red Baron - The Royal Guardsmen

"You know I smoked a lot of grass,
oooh lord, I popped a lot of pills.
But I never touched nothing,
mmmhmmm, that my spirit could feel"

going from memory, so I may not have the lyrics perfect

[Sensei_the_dojo]

The Pusher - Steppenwolf



All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find where I’ve been.


PS: Cool avatar!

[ash]

Is it Kashmir by Led Zepplin?

[Sensei_the_dojo]

That's it ash. :) Your turn. ;)

[ash]

Woo Hoo! Okay-
Please beware of them that stare
They'll only smile to see you while
your time away
And once you've seen what they have been
To win the earth just won't seem worth
your night or day

Nick Drake - Things Behind the Sun

Murphy sure out done himself to pick this stretch of track
I can only hope my luck is ridin' in the back.
Well I have pray to God this ain't the day we meet,
I've done about everything, but try dragging my feet.

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Tons of Steel - Greatful Dead



Oh, one night I saw them kissin' at a party,
So I kissed some other guy.
Johnny jumped up and he hit him,
'Cause he still loved me, that's why.

[Dangerdoll]

Sensei, you're good! ;)

Judy's Turn to Cry - Lesley Gore



Might be a story you read in a book
'Bout a girl who drank from the devil's cup
Might be someone you know so well
Just might be me, you never can tell

[Sensei_the_dojo]

All That You Can Stand - Little Feat





Junk, angel, this closet's always stacked
The dealers in the basement
Filling your prescription
For a brand new heart attack

[ash]

No idea- but I will have Judy's turn to cry stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

[Dangerdoll]

Elton John - Tower of Babel

Wickedness lies in your moisten lips
Your body moves just like the crack of a whip
Blackness sleeps on top of your stray bed
Do you wish that you could see me dead

(edit: typo)

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Evil Woman - Black Sabbath




When I come home, baby,
my house is dark and my pots are cold.
You're hangin' round, baby,
with Jean and Joan and-a who knows who.

[Dangerdoll]

love this one... Santana - Evil Ways


If you’re out on a moonlit night
Be careful of them neighbourhood strays
Of a lady with long black hair
Tryin’ to win you with her feminine ways
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
You’d better get out of there fast

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Devil Woman - Cliff Richard




Rolled in from another town,
Hit some gold too hot to settle down,
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways,
And you found a fool lyin’ in a daze,

[val]

Wow, I can finally play, thanks to Sensei's use of a recurring theme...

Evil Woman, Electric Light Orchestra



And the silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody's gonna go to school today,
She's gonna make them stay at home

[Sensei_the_dojo]

I Hate Mondays - Bon Jovi or Boomtown Rats



Well, my damsel she’s a woman with coal black hair
Don’t you look her in her eye when she starts to stare
’cause her beauty drive you crazy
And her potions steal your soul
No matter how you beg her she don’t ever let you go



Geesh, I thought everyone had packed their bags and quit the game. :D

[Dangerdoll]

Doobie Brothers, Evil Woman (a fav ;) )



It's just no good anymore since she went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday

[jacblades]

lila-you put the name of the song in it!
yesterday by the beatles!

[jacblades]

the pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath,
the drums will shake the castle wall, the ring wraiths ride in black, ride on.

[Sensei_the_dojo]

jacblades,

You're a little confused today. ;) First, you're confusing Dangerdoll with Lila, and second your confusing the Beatles "Yesterday" with Harry Nilsson's "One". But we'll accept your lyrics anyway. They're from Led Zeppelin's "The Battle of Evermore"

Next up (should be pretty easy):


I am standing up at the water’s edge in my dream
I cannot make a single sound as you scream
It can’t be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
This place is so quiet, sensing that storm

[jacblades]

uh..oops:o
i am a bit confused... i feel stupid now-i knew that one too:rolleyes: :p

[Sensei_the_dojo]

No reason to feel stupid. We all goof up. :)

Mine should be easy. Artist is a former member of Genesis.

[jacblades]

i dont even know who genesis is... sensei, how is it that you know just about ALL of these? are you cheating...
jk:p

[ash]

not to give anything away- is only one member of genesis currently well known? at any rate I don't know.

[val]

Well, both Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel are ex Genesis, as was Mike from Mike and the Mechanics (I think).

I'll have to go look this one up...

By the way Sensei, I Don't Like Mondays was Boomtown Rats.

[Philbe]

That is Red Rain by Peter Gabriel from So.

Someone's taking over
And it look like they're aiming
Right at you
Someone said we'll be dead by morning
Someone cries leaving

(Keeping a theme running again)

[Dangerdoll]

Red Skies - the Fixx

this is a fav of mine:

I'm a stranger in my home
Now that everybody's gone
Someone please talk to me
Cause I feel you cry
And you're sitting with him
And I know I'll never see you again

[Rocketman]

Hootie and The Blowfish - Not even the trees
took me awhile to like that song.


She says on these streets child,
you've got to understand the rules.
If an officer stops you, promise me you'll always be polite,
and that you'll never ever run away
and promise momma you'll keep your hands in sight.

[Rocketman]

Do we need a hint?

[Dangerdoll]

American Skin (41 Shots) - Bruce Springsteen...

oh she walks slowly
across a young man's room
she said I'm ready for you
I can't remember anything
to this very day
'cept the look... the look
now I can't see... I just stare...

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Alive - Pearl Jam



But music was his life, it was not his livelihood,
and it made him feel so happy and it made him feel so good.
And he sang from his heart and he sang from his soul.
He did not know how well he sang; It just made him whole.

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Clues. About 1/2 of this artist's concerts were fundraisers to fight world hunger. He died in a car accident in 1981, but the cause of death was a massive heart attack. It was never determined if the heart attack was the cause of the accident or vice versa. Although the artist's music would be classified as folk, one of his best known tunes has been covered by Guns'n'Roses and Ugly Kid Joe.

[Dangerdoll]

Harry Chapin - Mr. Tanner ;)

And if I seem to be confused
I didn’t mean to be with you.
And when you said I scared you,
Well I guess you scared me too.

[ash]

Joey by concrete blonde-

I'll do an easy one-

machine guns are roaring,
puppets heave rocks
at misunderstood visions
and at the faces of clocks

[Dangerdoll]

thanks Ash ;)

Farewell Angelina - Bob Dylan


Death comes sweeping through the hallway
Like a lady’s dress...
Death comes driving down the highway
In it’s sunday best...

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Fire of Unknown Origin - Blue Oyster Cult



Some rich men came and raped the land,
Nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,
people bought 'em

[Rocketman]

Eagles - The last resort

This might be harder;

it started back in 1963
his mama wouldnt buy him that new red harmony
he settled for a sunburst with a crack
but hes still trying to break his mamas back

[Dangerdoll]

John Hiatt - Perfectly Good Guitar (heard this just last nitght :D )


;)
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

[happychem]

spooky, I was just singin' this in my head

Elton John - Rocketman

[Dangerdoll]

hehehe, me too.... can't get it out.....

[happychem]

Here we go:

Life is a waterfall,
We're one in the river
and we're one again after the fall.

[Dangerdoll]

Aeriels (sp?) - System of a Down.....


If you know your history,
Then you would know where you coming from,
Then you wouldn't have to ask me,
Who the heck do I think I am...

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Buffalo Soldier - Bob Marley


Here's one inspired by a couple of recent posts. ;)




Breakdown on the shoreline,
can't move, it's an ebbtide.
Morning don't get here till night,
searching for her silver light.

[Dangerdoll]

ooooooooh :)

ELO - Can't Get it Outta My Head

here's an easy one for ya :D

But my heart keeps calling me backwards
As I get on the 707
Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes
You know you got to go through hell
Before you get to heaven

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Jet Airliner - Steve Miller Band




Theres so many times Ive let you down
So many times Ive played around
I tell you now, they dont mean a thing

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Two clues.

1. The song lyrics follow the same basic theme as the last one posted by Dangerdoll.

2. The songwriter was born here in Roswell, New Mexico, but named himself for his favorite rocky mountain city.

[Dangerdoll]

Leaving on a Jet Plane - John Denver
(great clue Sensei :cool: )


Got a racing heart
And my mind's a roar
Never felt like this
Never loved before
And it's dangerous
I would willingly
Burn to ashes now
If you'll stay with me

[Sensei_the_dojo]

You like keeping with themes too. ;) We've done two songs about airplanes, and now one by a Starship.

Jefferson Starship - Be My Lady



Here's one that gets a lot of radio play around here this time of year. :)


People of the Earth can you hear me?
Came a voice from the sky on that magical night
And in the colors of a thousand sunsets
They traveled through the world on a silvery light

[Dangerdoll]

mmmmmm nice one Sensei ;)

Children of the Sun - Billy Thorpe



Twenty-five years ago they spoke out and they broke out
Of recession and oppression and together they toked
And they folked out with guitars around a bonfire
Just singin' and clappin' man what the hell happened...

[ash]

walking on the sun- smashmouth

Atlanta's a distant memory,
Montgomery a recent blur
And Tulsa burns, on the desert floor
like a signal fire

[tomm10]

Oooh, great band. Gotta dig out some of their cds

200 More Miles- Cowboy Junkies

I have fallen for another, she can make her own way home.
And even if she asked me now I'd let her go alone.

[Dangerdoll]

I Used To Love Her - Saw Doctors


I realized quickly when I knew I should,
That the world was made up of this Brotherhood of man...
For whatever that means...

[tomm10]

What's Up- 4 Non Blondes

Its so rare that I know a couple in a row!

I can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend
what if somethings on TV and it's never shown again
It's just as well I'm not invited I'm afraid of heights
I lied about being the outdoor type
never learned to swim can't grow a beard or even fight
I lied about being the outdoor type

[ash]

I lied about being the outdoor type- the lemonheads-

O' Reilly stole a stallion
but they caught him and the brought him back
and laid him down
on the jailhouse ground
with an iron chain around his neck

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Seven Curses - Bob Dylan


as long as were stealing things . . .



His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy.
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy.

[val]

Hey, that's Rocky Racoon by the Beatles. I didn't know this, but my NASCAR-loving secretary did (how's that for a disconnect). She also helped me out with this one...

Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of Heaven
You can justify it in the end


Val

[Dangerdoll]

UGH.... I know what the song is but can't remeber the singer....
GAAAAAH!!!!!! :rant:

;) :D ;)

[val]

Remember the movie, Billy Jack ????

[Dangerdoll]

right.... The Legend of Billy Jack is the movie.....

the song is: One Tin Soldier.......sung by..... Coven<?> :D

I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea, yeah!
A you-you-you can just sit there a-thinking on your velvet throne
'bout all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Sunshine Superman - Donovan




If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

[tomm10]

Woohoo, I know one of Sensei's tunes!

Behind Blue Eyes- The Who

They're gonna come when you're not ready
when you're not to well-prepared
they're gonna prey upon your weakness no man's soul is ever spared
you've got to stand up,
yeah,
and fight them
show them what it's all about this man is not for sale there will be no backing down

[scottracy]

Dropkick Murphys
The Gauntlet


Karen she's a silver sun
You best walk her way and watch it shinin'
Watch her watch the mornin' come
A silver tear appearing now i'm cryin'

[Dangerdoll]

Carolina in my Mind - Several people have done this.... James Taylor, John Denver to name 2.....


I don't have too much time, I just hope no one's done this one yet... even me, hehehe ;) Ok, here goes:

He kept dreamin'
That someday he'd be a star.
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true.

Midnight Train to Georgia - Gladys Knight and the Pips



Johnny died one night, died in his bed,
Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head.
Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day,
If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play.




Sidenote related to "Carolina in My Mind": My mom has catered meals at James Taylor's house. She says he's very pleasant and always gives her a big hug and peck on the cheek when she works there.

[val]

Gladys Kinght and the Pips -- Midnight Train to Georgia.

Again, by my secretary, she's really good.

"That one guitar, felt good in his hands
Didn't take long to understand
Just one guitar, slung way down low
Was a one-way ticket, one way to go"

[val]

Dangnabbit, Sensei, you beat by a minute...

But I know you know mine anyway...

Val

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Yep, val. Yours is Jukebox Hero by Foreigner. So we're back to my offering, which I'm sure someone will get pretty soon.

A hole in the wall....
Gonna crawl inside and die.....

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Can't You See - Marshall Tucker Band




Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes

She said I'll turn you on sonny to something strong if you play that song with the funky break

And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe to go outside

And little Early-Pearly came in by her curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride

[Dangerdoll]

Blinded By the Light - Manfred Mann (& Earth Band)

When the shows were over
We had to get back home
And when we opened up the door
I had to be alone

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Although Manfred Mann has the better known version of Blinded by the Light, it's actually a Bruce Springsteen tune. I thought you'd have picked up on that Dangerdoll. I hope no other New Jersey folk see your post. :eek: :D

Anyway, your tune is "Just A Song Before I Go" - CSN&Y


She's not a girl who misses much
Do do do do do do do do
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane

[Dangerdoll]

hehehe, Sensei, I was thinking about it but was like "naaaah", hehehe.... I am the worst Jersey girl, ain't I, LOL


Happiness is a Warm Gun - Beatles

He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing, stretching every nerve
Had to listen, had no choice

[Sensei_the_dojo]

Cool song.

Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel





Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got

[Dangerdoll]

The Living Years - Mike and the Mechanics (another cool one)

If you’re on your own in this life,
the days and nights are long,
When you think you’ve had too much of this life...
to hang on.

Everybody Hurts - R.E.M.




You don´t have to be so excitin´
Just tryin´ to give myself a little bit of fun, yeah
You always look so invitin´
You ain´t as green as you are young

[Philbe]

That would be John Mellencamp (although at the time I think ithere was still a cougar in his name) and Hurts So Good.


I volunteered for the Army on my birthday
They draft the white trash first,'round here anyway
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
And I came home with a brand new plan

[Dangerdoll]

hehehe, I'm having trouble with that one philbe, but I wanted to comment on the John Cougar Mellencamp thing..... i can't remove the "Cougar" from his name.... or i have a hard time saying his name without it to this day. ah, he'll always be John Cougar to me ;) :D ;)

[Sensei_the_dojo]

I heard that he's created a symbol using the letters JCM morphed into the shape of a big cat and is now going by "The artist formerly known as John Cougar Mellencamp". :p

[Dangerdoll]

:laugh: that would be today's way to go :laugh:

[Philbe]

I havn't heard squat from JCM latley, so maybe he is just the former artist....

[Philbe]

...and a little more of my tune...this will give it away..

I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
And I came home with a brand new plan
I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
I plant it up the holler down .....

[dwayne]

Philbe ~ Copperhead Road, Steve Earl!! (ps, I'm psyched that I actually recognized that one... you think you know music, but it's so hard to figure out lyrics w/out the music playing!!)

Here's my lyrics... ugh, it's probably too easy... :)

You might forget your manners
You might refuse to stay
And so the best that I can do is pray

~Tara

[dwayne]

Nobody wants to play... :( or do we need a clue??

~Tara

[happychem]

Sorry Tara, it seems really familiar, but I can't place it. I have a hard time picking up on lyrics unless I've heard the song recently, or have really fallen in love with it at one point in my life.

[Dangerdoll]

It's "Luck Be a Lady" - Frankie Sinatra ;)



well the night does funny things inside a man,
these old tom cat feelings, you don't understand..
well I turn around and look at you,
you light a cigarette...
I wish I had the guts to bum one,
but we've never met....

[dwayne]

happychem, I have the toughest time guessing these lyrics, and then as soon as someone posts the answer I usually say "D'oh! I knew that"

I'm doubly psyched that I know this one too!!
I hope I don't fall in love with you, by Hootie and the Blowfish!

There’s nothing you can know that isn’t known.
Nothing you can see that isn’t shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be.
It’s easy.

Here you go kids.


Oh mamma I've been years on the lamb
And had a high price on my head
Lawman said get him dead or alive
Now it's for sure he'll see me dead
