Lyrically Speaking - 2/14/24
Posted: Wed Feb 14, 2024 4:51 am
Rockin' in the USA follows the advice of Horace Greeley this week and goes west....
Today's songs are all by artists or bands who come from one of my western states you see in yellow (or yeller). Yes, one state has very conspicuously been chopped off that map, which probably gives you a clue as to where next week's artists will be hailing from. Anyway, the states above will define my West zone, and if you've got a problem with that, then this town ain't big enough for the both for us...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 0 points for the state (The Earl Rule)....
1. A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
2. Cryin' on the corner, waitin' in the rain
I swear I'll never, ever wait again
You gave me your word but words for you are lies
3. And all the beads we made by hand
Are nowadays made in Japan
4. Hey honey, you could be my drug
You could be my new prescription
Too much could be an overdose
All this trash talk make me itchin'
5. "Come on home, girl" Mama cried on the phone
"Too soon to lose my baby yet, my girl should be at home"
6. First things first
I'mma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh-ooh
The way that things have been, oh-ooh
7. If you can just get your mind together
Then come on across to me
8. I'll be your ghost, your game, your stadium
I'll be your fifty thousand clapping like one
And I feel alright, and I feel alright
'Cause I worked it out, yeah, I worked it out
9. I got your name from a friend of a friend
Who said he used to work with you
You remember the all night creature from Stereo Ninety Two?
10. You need love, but you're
Afraid that if you give in
Someone else will come along
And sock it to you again
11. Didn't I hear you cry this mornin
didn't I feel you weep
Teardrops falling down on me
Like rivers in my sleep
12. Well, we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Makin' all that noise
'Cause they found new toys
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song by an artist from one of my West states.
