Lyrically Speaking - 2/15/18
Posted: Thu Feb 15, 2018 3:28 am
For the penultimate game in the 2018 LSWE, we're gonna try the LS version of Don't Forget the Lyrics. Each set of lyrics below has all or most of the last line of verse blanked out, and you can get an extra point for correctly filling in the blanks with the rest of the lyrics. Your lyrics need to be word perfect to get the extra point, and (I hope) the number of blanks indicate how many words are to be filled in. There will be no Krox Bonus in this game... you already have a shot at 50 points as it is!
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 1 point for the missing line...
1. When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasn't hurt me none
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
2. After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
3. Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
But different than the day before
That's when I saw her, Ooh, I saw her
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___, ___ ___
4. Well the night weighs heavy
On his guilty mind
This far from the borderline
When the hitman comes
He knows damn well
___ ___ ___ ___
5. How come you're always such a fussy young man
Don't want no Cap'n Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran
Well don't you know that ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
6. If the words unspoken
Get stuck in your throat
Send a treasure token token
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
7. Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher

The past is never far
And did you lose yourself somewhere out there

11. Well I'm heavenly blessed and worldly wise
I'm a peeping-tom techie ___ ___ ___
12. All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
13. You make me hot, you make me sigh
You make me laugh, you make me cry
Keep me burnin' for your love
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
14. So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see I've forgotten, ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
15. I thought it was clear the plan was we would share,
This feeling just between ourselves.
