Lyrically Speaking - 1/16/18
Posted: Tue Jan 16, 2018 7:33 am
Shhhhhhhhhh!!!!! This Lyrically Speaking game is for your eyes only! It comes from the top secret files of Tuesday Wordplay. Our organization's expert cryptographer has ingeniously found 12 songs that all contain the same word in the title. Keep it hush hush! We can't have highly classified talents like this getting into the hands of North Dako.... er, Korea. In fact, we should probably liquidate our cryptographer to keep that from happening. Time to write a message that will self destruct....
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. I'm just an average man with an average life
I work from 9 to 5, hey hell, I pay the price
2. I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
3. Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
Yeah, but in your head, baby, I'm afraid you don't know where it is
4. If it's a mirror you want, just look into my eyes
Or a whipping boy, someone to despise
Or a prisoner in the dark
Tied up in chains you just can't see
5. You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end
Always the end
6. There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
Lived with you
7. It's not confidential
I've got potential
Rushing a-rushing around
8. I heard her talkin' with her friend
When she thought nobody else was around.
9. So please play for me a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry
A real hurtin' song about a love that's gone wrong
'cause I don't want to cry all alone
10. Off in the night, while you live it up, I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice
11. I thought I saw the Madonna
When you walked in the room
Well your eyes were like diamonds
And they cut right through - oh they cut right through
12. If I had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have you charms
Then every minute, every hour
Everybody would find what I found in your arms
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that contains the magic word of the day in the title.
Image Bonus: If you know the word of the day, show me a fitting picture (I have confidence you will all impress me).
