Guess the song!

Veitnow.. take it Rev !

A little harsh, not for everyone.

Here ya go! The last bit is one of my favorite lyrics. To quote a friend of mine, "I had a girlfriend like that once."

It was you, it was me
And we would last forever
Any fool could see that we were meant to be

Without you, there is no meaning to my life
You're gone and it cuts me like a knife
How could you leave me?

. . .

Why did you turn away
Let your love fade away and die
You became so cold, you made me feel so old

When you left, you broke my heart
And just to see
How many pieces there would be
After you leave me

Even while cheating (via Google), it took me longer than it should have:

Yngwie Malmsteen - You Dont Remember

By the way, without Google, I don't think anyone was getting this one. Please no alien abductions...

[Algonquin]

Throw one out there Eric... It's about time this thread was revived

[Eric***]

You say : "'Ere thrice the sun done salutation to the dawn"
And you claim these words as your own
But I've read well, and I've heard them said
A hundred times (maybe less, maybe more)
If you must write prose/poems
The words you use should be your own
Don't plagiarise or take "on loan"
'Cause there's always someone, somewhere
With a big nose, who knows
And who trips you up and laughs
When you fall

Anybody? I can drop a hint if that would get people guessing.

[Spudman***]

No idea.

[Eric***]

No idea.

Think mid-80s Brits, now a favorite band of hipsters everywhere.

[EnglishJW]

Cemetry Gates - The Smiths

Yes, I cheated and checked some lyrics.

How about:

Early to bed
Early to rise

Makes a man or woman
Miss out on the night life

[BigJD]

how 'bout:

What can this strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
Its got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this thing be that I found?

See how it sings like a sad heart
And joyously screams out its pain
Sounds that build high like a mountain
Or notes that fall gently like rain

Rush off of 2112.

[BigJD]

Rush off of 2112.

Wow I'm at the wrong end.HA HA
Just woke up after a gig and my head is still ringing!

Morphine. Great band. I saw them live before Mark died, and he did a lot of spoken word stuff that was relatively...interesting.

[EnglishJW]

Congratulations Sean. I never did see them live but I enjoyed a lot of his music.

[FrankenFretter***]

Okay, my turn:

Well, like a bad penny you have turned up again,
You're in my sights, there's a mist on my lens.
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell,
Well, you double-dealed me, baby, I cracked like a shell.

No Googling!

That one any self respecting Irishman should know. Rory Gallagher Bad Penny.

A mother sings a lullaby to a child
Sometime in the future the boy goes wild
And all his nerves are feeling some kind of energy

A walk in the woods and I will try
Something under the trees that made you cry
It's so erotic when your make up runs

I got wiring loose inside my head
I got books that I never, ever read
I got secrets in my garden shed
I got a scar where all my urges bled
I got people underneath my bed
I got a place where all my dreams are dead

[deeaa*]

Just got an idea... post some lines from a song, and we guess what song and artist it is.

You are not allowed to use search engines to look for the lines. Doing so will result in alien abduction with painful probing activities in certain body cavities, as well as mandatory front row seat participation (earplugs not allowed) at the next Britney Spears show.

Here we go!



Now, what song is that?

Don't cheat!

The person who gets it right continues with new song lines. Don't make it too obscure or I suspect the alien probing tools will come out.

Hehe this was fun...easy, though. But I guess I'm late to this thread...so on to the last post I go...

Blackest Eyes by Porcupine Tree. I love that song.

Didn't want to give away too much here, so I made an edit...

Come around to my way of thinkin'
Don't you want to, want to get along?
Everyday just like a vacation with you
When I'm watchin' you and Fidel Castro in the sand, kissin'!

Girl you got to roll
(redacted)
Overthrow
(redacted)

She's comin on like a bicycle army
Everybody's waitin' for the man to come down from the tower
Every day is just like a vacation with you layin' right here now
I'm watchin you and Fidel Castro in the sand, assassin!
