Lyrically Speaking - 2/5/19
Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2019 8:01 am
Here's another Tuesday Wordplay game for you. You know how they work. Have fun! I have stuff to do...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. I stretched back and I hiccupped
Looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the tin pan
God there's got to be another way
2. When she kissed me I was born and she said goodbye
And I knew right away I was born to cry
Now I'm happy and the joke's on her
3. Can't you see that it's late at night?
I'm very tired, and I'm not feeling right.
4. If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
5. You found a new world and you want to taste it
But that world can turn cold and you better face it
6. Get back off me, beast off me
Get back you flea infested mongrel
7. Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD'ed on Drano on the night that he was wed
They were two more friends of mine
8. I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire
I got a cobra snake for a necktie
A brand new house on the road side
And it's made out of rattlesnake hide
9. Guess you believed the world
Played by your rules
Here stands an experienced girl
Nobody's fool...
10. When tears are in your eyes,
And you can't find the way.
It's hard to make believe,
You're happy when you're gray
11. We try to hustle them, try to bustle them, try to cuss them
The cops want someone to bust down on Orleans Avenue
Another day, another dollar, another war, another tower
Went up where the homeless had their homes
12. Which came as some surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long, long time ago
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, show me a fitting image.
