Lyrically Speaking - 1/22/18
Posted: Mon Jan 22, 2018 7:38 am
Onto week two of the LSWE... and for the Monday game, we'll be taking the slow boat to China and celebrating the world's largest continent. All of today's songs contain an Asian reference somewhere. And don't worry, Kim Jong Un has promised not to nuke this game, so you can safely play without worrying about being atomized. At least, I think he promised....
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing lead to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung
2. It's an ancient Chinese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip
3. Been away so long I hardly knew the place
Gee, it's good to be back home
Leave it til tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey, disconnect the phone
4. He picks up a bus
And he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings
Toward the center of town
5. I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you men who want to rule the world
6. I got no rap against the Southern states
Every time I've been there it's been great
But now I'm leaving and I can't be late
7. Oh it's in color
Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel
And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around
8. She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow 'til your sense of which direction
Completely disappears
9. A cloud appears above your head.
A beam of light comes shining down on you.
Shining down on you
10. I could have gone to Canada or I could have stayed in school.
But I was brought up differently, I couldn't break the rules.
11. Talk about her like a Queen
Dancing in a Eastern dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
Ow, that carries me away
12. It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that contains an Asian reference.
Image Bonus: Show me something with a little Asian flair...
