Lyrically Speaking - 2/15/19
Posted: Thu Feb 14, 2019 10:18 pm
May as well go ahead and post this now.... the 25th and final game of the 2019 LSWE! As I've done occasionally in many of my past contests, and in particular these last few years where I've been making things up as I go, the finale will be the all-Music Choice game. I flipped through the wide variety of Music Choice channels this afternoon and came across all of the songs below. The variety of songs should be pretty good here, other than most of them being songs Sprots can't identify. Good luck, and thank you all for playing the LSWE this year! I was worried I might end up doing all this work for a very small group this time around... but having about 17 or 18 players every day made it all worthwhile!
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
1. Looks like it's over, you knew I couldn't stay
She's comin' home today
We had a good thing, I'll miss your sweet love
Why must you look at me that way?
2. I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance
3. 'Til the sun that loves you proud
When the system tries to bring you down
Every hand to shine tonight
You don't need darkness to do what you think is right
4. Where you going for tommorrow
Where you going with the mask I found
And I feel and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone
5. The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
6. Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
7. Dream of better lives
The kind which never hate
Dropped in the state
Of imaginary grace
8. And in the small there of your back
Your jeans are playing peek a boo
I'd like to see the other half
Of your butterfly tattoo
9. I left my teardrops
In that old lonely room
Left my broken heart
Back there, too
10. One that won't make me nervous, wonderin' what to do.
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
11. My life's a shadowless horse
If I can't get across - to you
In the alligator rain
My hearts all pain - for you.
12. One week in we let the story begin
We're going out on our first date
You and me are thrifty so go all you can eat
Fill up your bag and I fill up a plate
13. I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
14. I only know that
If you ever said goodbye
I couldn't stand the pain
These eyes would cry, cry
Cry like the rain
15. Girl I've seen you in clubs
Just hanging out and dancing.
You give your number to every man you see.
16. Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was neverending
17. Don't call a doctor
Don't call her momma
Don't call her preacher
18. When they broke through to pull us free
The only ones left to tell the tale
Were Joe and me
19. You hurt and abuse telling all of your lies
Run round, sweet baby, Lord, how they hypnotize
Sweet little baby I don't know where you been
Gonna love you, baby, here I come again
20. Would you dance, if I asked you to dance
Would your run, and never look back
Would you cry, if you saw me crying
Would you save my soul tonight,
21. Lost control and rang your bell, I was sore
Let me in or else I'll beat down your door
22. Oh, I did some damage, I know it's true --
Didn't know I was so lonely till I found you.
23. Red roses, temptation,
You make the most of a sticky situation.
I'm waiting my decision
To see if it's love or if it isn't.
24. Hey now, hey now
Hear what I say now
Happiness is just around the corner
Hey now, hey now
Hear what I say now
We'll be there for you
25. And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can I hurt when I'm holding you
