Lyrically Speaking - 2/1/18

#1 Post by Noah's Ark » Thu Feb 01, 2018 5:34 am

Sorry, I don't have much time to chat today. I'm preparing for a flood without any assistance from FEMA. Anyway, it's Theme Thursday, and I'll bet you'd never guess the theme of today's game if you had forty days and forty nights to think about it while you're busy shoveling a metric fuckton of animal shit out the windows. We're about to set off now..... where are those damned unicorns anyway?

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 3 points for the theme...


1. Well I don't really know her
I only know her name
But she crawls under your skin
You're never quite the same

2. Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?
Can't you see the fear that I'm feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
There'll be noone to save with the world in a grave

3. And when I get the paper
I read it through and through
And my girl never fails to say
If there is any work for me

4. At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

5. Empty dreams can only dissapoint
in a room behind your smile
but don't give up,
don't give up
you can be lucky in love

6. So I'm sailing for tomorrow
My dreams are a dyin'.
And my love is an anchor tied to you
Tied with a silver chain.

7. Ya better come inside when you're ready to
But no chance if ya don't wanna dance
You're like four letter words when you're ready to
But then you won't 'cos you know that you can

8. If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain
Listen, I ain't fooling and you'd better think again
Out there is a fortune waiting to be had
If you think I'll let it go, you're mad

9. When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
Whose sickness is the games they play
And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks make jokes
As who is most to blame today

10. I saw the decade in, when it seemed
the world could change at the blink of an eye
And if anything
then there's your sign of the times

11. Nightshades on a warning
Give me strength at least give me a light
Give me anything even sympathy
There's a chance you could be right

12. Well, I`m no angel, now I`ll admit
I`ve made a few bad moves I should regret
I hurt you once or so you said
Just one more chance is all you get


Theme?

Maybe I'll get more than three answers today, helping me to misguess the theme yet again.

1. Well I don't really know her
I only know her name
But she crawls under your skin
You're never quite the same

Invisible Touch, Genesis

2. Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?
Can't you see the fear that I'm feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave

You're old enough to kill
But not for votin

Eve of Destruction. This song has been on my mind for a couple weeks -- you'd think I woulda looked up the artist at some point, or know it outright, but oh well.

3. And when I get the paper
I read it through and through
And my girl never fails to say
If there is any work for me

Get a Job. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the heavyweights from the Big Apple -- Sha Na Na. I know it's a cover. Combined with 2, not knowing the artist has probably cost me the theme. That's my story, anyway.


4. At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My my my Delilah
Why why why Delilah..........

Delilah, Tom Jones

5. Empty dreams can only dissapoint
in a room behind your smile
but don't give up,
don't give up
you can be lucky in love

You brat, I bet you spellled disappoint wrong on purpose.

6. So I'm sailing for tomorrow
My dreams are a dyin'.
And my love is an anchor tied to you
Tied with a silver chain.

Southern Cross, and now I have to guess if it's CSN or CSNY. This is pretty late, I'll go with CSN.

7. Ya better come inside when you're ready to
But no chance if ya don't wanna dance
You're like four letter words when you're ready to
But then you won't 'cos you know that you can

You probably picked a bunch of songs I don't know on purpose.

8. If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain
Listen, I ain't fooling and you'd better think again
Out there is a fortune waiting to be had
If you think I'll let it go, you're mad

Yep, another one.

9. When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
Whose sickness is the games they play
And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks make jokes
As who is most to blame today

10. I saw the decade in, when it seemed
the world could change at the blink of an eye
And if anything
then there's your sign of the times

Theme? I'll go with things that aren't there -- invisibility, shadows, something like that. I dunno how that fits Delilah, but oh well.

5. Empty dreams can only dissapoint
in a room behind your smile
but don't give up,
don't give up
you can be lucky in love

My dreams are a dyin'.
And my love is an anchor tied to you
Tied with a silver chain.

But no chance if ya don't wanna dance

But then you won't 'cos you know that you can

Armageddon It - Def Leppard

8. If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain
Listen, I ain't fooling and you'd better think again
Out there is a fortune waiting to be had
If you think I'll let it go, you're mad

You've Got Another Thing Coming - Judas Priest

Or, as my dad would say it, Ju-das Pah-reest!

9. When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
Whose sickness is the games they play
And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks make jokes
As who is most to blame today

Along Came Mary - The Association

10. I saw the decade in, when it seemed
the world could change at the blink of an eye
And if anything
then there's your sign of the times

Give me strength at least give me a light
Give me anything even sympathy
There's a chance you could be right

I`ve made a few bad moves I should regret
I hurt you once or so you said
Just one more chance is all you get

2. Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?

There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave

Eve of Destruction - Barry McGuire


3. And when I get the paper
I read it through and through
And my girl never fails to say

She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

Theme? - The Bible

Image Bonus: If you know the theme, show me a fitting image. - I thought this theme would be simple (especially with the MM), but I guess it didn't help that identifying these songs turned out to be quite brutal for many of you. There was still plenty of qualifying images to work with, though it didn't matter. Melly's grand Noah's Ark was as guaranteed a IBB winner as anything yet this year. I was surprised at how many of my favorite critters were in there (but no possums!?!?) and laughed at the Stop sign being thrown up for the dinosaurs!
