Lyrically Speaking - 1/25/08

#1 Post by littlebeast13 » Fri Jan 25, 2008 8:04 am

Here's the next batch of 20 songs for Free For All Friday, which I all pulled from the variety of Music Choice channels I have on January 17th. As usual, this game closes Monday morning.

1 point for the artist, 1 point for the title....


1. Neon lights, A Nobel Price
The mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You don't have to follow me
Only you can set me free

2. I, recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone, yeah
I, recommend walking around naked in your living room, yeah

3. Every night it's the same old crowd in smokey rooms
You catch a faint glimpse of love sometimes
But it never blooms
I've been around this block a time or two
And I've made some big mistakes
But girl I promise you, I promise you

4. So many times, it happened too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

5. And I can't stop thinking about,
about the way things used to be,
and I can't stop thinking about,
about the love that you made to me.

6. Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

7. Out all night, sleep all day,
I know what you're doing.
If you're gonna a-act that way,
Think there's trouble brewing

8. You, you take my breath away
Love thinks it's here to stay
There's still so much for me to do
And I can't stop loving you
Oh! can this be true

9. You're far away
From me my love
And just as sure my, my baby
As there are stars above
I wanna say, I wanna say, I wanna say

10. With my feet stuck on the ground
And my head against the wall
I've been called

11. Everytime you make eyes at me
You cry and moan and say it will work out
But honey child I've got my doubts
You can't see the forest for the trees

12. Touch me and I feel on fire
Ain't nothin' like a love desire (ooh)
I'm melting (I'm melting) like hot candle wax
Sensation (ah sensation) lovely where we're at (ooh)

13. Newspapers ask intimate questions, want confessions
They reach into my head to steal, the glory of my story

14. Tell the DJ to play your favorite tune
then you know it's okay
What you found is happiness, now

15. So that's why you've got to try
You got to breath and have some fun
Though I'm not paid I play this game
And I won't stop until I'm done

16. From the start its plain to see
Youre suffering from a serious broken heart,
You know that its a shame
But I'm here to ease your pain

17. Precious love
I'll give it to you
Blue as the sky and deep in the
Eyes of a love so true

18. Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor

19. Me, I'm talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me

20. I took her home to my place
Watching ev'ry move on her face
She said " Look, what's your game baby
are you tryin' to put me in shame?"

I saw Paul Rodgers with Queen the other night on tv and was surprised that I didn't hate it. Maybe because he's not trying to be Freddie Mercury.

17. Precious love
I'll give it to you

All Right Now - Free (Interestingly enough, this was supposed to be next Friday's Song #20, but I accidentally looked at the wrong list when I got to the final song, and didn't catch the mistake until people started answering this song that wasn't showing up on my list. No problem, though, the song that was supposed to be #20 in this game will now be #20 in this Friday's game....)


The scores were an improvement over past Fridays, but not as good as I thought they'd be....
