Song verse game

[Cire]

I thought we could try something new.

Rules:
1. After a verse is submitted, the next person takes a word from the verse that is included in the verse of another song.

2. You can't use the simple words like "the, and, or, if, is, it, a", etc...

example:
Oh I went down south - Polly Wally Doodle

Down by the bay - Down by the Bay

So here goes....

Man theres an opera out on the turnpike
Theres a ballet being fought out in the alley
Until the local cops, cherry tops, rips this holy night
The streets alive as secret debts are paid
Contacts made, they vanished unseen
Kids flash guitars just like switch-blades hustling for the record machine
The hungry and the hunted explode into rocknroll bands
That face off against each other out in the street down in jungleland

--Bruce Springsteen--pure poetic brilliance

Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes
Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal I
walk the corner to the rubble that used to be a library
Lyin' to the mind cemetery now

They don't gotta burn the books they just remove 'em
While arms warehouses fill up quick as the cells
Rally round the family, pockets full of shells...

Then the rain let up and the sun came up

Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by
So we jumped right in and the driver grinned
And he dropped us up the road
We looked at the swim and we jumped right in
Not to mention fishing poles

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float into the mystic

It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong;

Let it flow - let yourself go
Slow and low - that is the tempo
It's never old school - all brand new
So everybody catch - the boogaloo flu
Not like a fever - not like a cold
The beats are clear - the rhymes are bold
So don't see a doctor or see a nurse
Just listen to the music - first things first
First of all - get off the wall
It's time to party so have a ball
Because we slowed it on down - so get the hell up
Like a volcano I'll erupt
We got determination - bass and highs
White Castle fries only come in one size
What you see is what you get
And you ain't seen - nothing yet

Slow and Low - Beastie Boys

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air.
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light.
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim,
I had to stop for the night.
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
This could be heaven or this could be hell.
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way.
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Another working day has ended.
Only the rush hour hell to face.
Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes.
Contestants in a suicidal race.
Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance,
He knows that something somewhere has to break.
He sees the family home now looming in the headlights,
the pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache.
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door
Of a cottage on the shore
Of a dark Scottish lake...............

She's just a crazy, crazy, crazy
Little mixed up dame.
She's just a victim of society
And all it's games."
Now where I come from
We don't let society
Tell us how it's supposed to be
Our clothes, our hair
We don't care
It's all about being there
Everybody's going Uptown
That's where I wanna be
Uptown
Set your mind free
Uptown
Got my body hot
Get down
I don't wanna stop, no
As soon as we got there
Good times were rolling
White, Black, Puerto Rican
Everybody just a-freakin'
Good times were rolling

Now there's somethin' I'd like to talk to you about
at this particular moment, and that's about the one
thing that we won't be able to do together. Unless we
all become as one. And if we all become as one, then
we can walk thru it together. Now I ain't walked thru
it all the way yet. But there was a time I walked
into it, and I had to go into it alone, that's this
place called the Halls of Karma. Now when you go into
the Halls of Karma the way I did, I don't know, it
might have been hallucination, but I think it was
real. You see I felt the presence of the two energies;
the positive and the negative; of God and the Devil,
however you want it. And they were pullin' and
decidin' and wondering what to do with my soul, and I
couldn't take this at this moment 'cause I had to come
back to be with you people to do a thing and I proved
to 'em, in bargainin' with 'em that I had a thing to
do for the good of all of us. Out of this bargain,
the devil, he got my body for the good in his needs
while I'm here on earth and the Lord, he's got my mind
for the good of the universe and for the good of man.
And they both got me in between 'cause they both got
my soul. So the next time I come up, I want the Lord
to, Please have Mercy, On My Soul!

Noel Redding also got a girl named Gloria
And she come knockin' on his door
Showin' that he's appreciatin' her love
Even tho she did look like homemade sin
And her breath smelled like [something I can't post]

And while all that was happening
I looked out the window
And here comes the man with all the groovy grass
And here we are freakin' out, man
You know we be gettin' into somethin' good
And we layin' back freakin' and smokin'

The incense burned away and the stench began to rise
And lovers now estranged avoided catching each others' eyes
And girls who lost their children cursed the men who fit the coil
And men not fit for marriage took their refuge in the oil
No one respects the flame quite like the fool who's badly burned
From all this you'd imagine that there must be something learned

Slit skirts, Jeanie never wears those slit skirts
I don't ever wear no ripped shirts
Can't pretend that growing older never hurts.

Language is on fire that are launched, start here
The warning of the word goes out to all the
above all the below and all who have been cast aside
For everyone who is re-energized, criticized or
disguised. From the roof of the powerhouses to the
ground floor of your soul.
To all who can fathom a subsidiary atmosphere
And to all who can listen to the sound of cyber fear
Chim Chim's Badass Revenge...
Equals the imaginative mind that enables us
to resist the strategies of containment brought on
to us by political thunder whores from on high
It's the coming of the digital freak swing Vs.
ape kills master. If you try you will catch on...
Inhospitable cellular chain gangs and the slaves
speak of consumerism.
And in the monsters of plastic that await
behind the hidden corners of the new hype
Chim Chim's Badass Revenge...
The surrender of our dignities and the disintegrate
of the Wamo Frisbee within us all of the side effects of
the emerging techno psychology.
The pulse button landscape of the coming millennia
and it intellectual discriminations can't be avoided,
they can only be down graded repudiated and
afthroplacentrically renovated.
The history distorting legislative heartbeat of the
coming century
Aligns itself with weakness and over indulgence
Chim Chim's Badass Revenge suggests that you
structure your acceptance of the frequencies
according to hope and man and a kick ass outlook
If you try you will catch on.
The reinvention accelerates from this point
For it is with these words and the spirit of
Chim Chim's Badass theory of religiosity that we bring
you the only antidote that humanity will ever know

An old man walks along on the sidewalk
Sunglasses and an old Stetson hat
The four winds blow the back of his overcoat away
As he stops with the policeman to chat
And a train rolls out of the station
That was really somethin' in its day
Picking up speed on the straight prairie rails
As it carries the passengers away

It's gone
Only a dream
And it's fading now
Fading away
Only a dream
Just a memory without anywhere to stay

He who seeks of only vanity
And no love for humanity
Shall fade away, fade away.

Shall fade away, fade away.

And feel like they're on top of the world,
They shall fade away, hear what I say.

I wanna love you night and day, you know my love not fade away.

You know my love not fade away, not fade away!

My love is bigger than a Cadillac, I try to show you but you drive me back,
Your love for me has got to be real, you're gonna know just how I feel.

Our love is real, not fade away, not fade away!

Open up your engines let `em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur

Everyone I know is lonely
And God's so far away
My heart belongs to no one
So now sometimes I pray
Take this space between us
Fill it up some way
Take this space between us
Fill it up
Fill it up

O my God you take the biscuit
Treating me this way
Expecting me to treat you well
No matter what you say
How can I turn the other cheek
It's black and bruised and torn
I've been waiting
Since the day that I was born

Well I woke up Sunday morning,
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,
So I had one more for dessert.
Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes,
And found my cleanest dirty shirt.
An' I shaved my face and combed my hair,
An' stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "Man, what are you doing here?"

Drive west on Sunset
To the sea
Turn that jungle music down
Just until were out of town
This is no one night stand
Its a real occasion
Close your eyes and you'll be there
Its everything they say
The end of a perfect day
Distant lights from across the bay
Babylon sisters shake it
Babylon sisters shake it
So fine so young
Tell me I'm the only one.

I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance
And then she obliged me
Was I surprised, yeah
Was I surprised, no not at all

And when I wake on a dreary sunday morning
I open up my eyes to find there's rain
And something strange within said,
Go ahead and find her
Just close your eyes, yeah
Just close your eyes and [she'll] be there

Just to close out the Days of the Week category :):

Except for Monday which was never good anyways,
Tuesday I get a little sideways,
Wednesday I feel better just for spite
Thursday and Friday take too long,
Before I know it, Saturday's gone
But its Sunday now and everything's alright.

Ok, shameless self-plug on this one, and it probably shouldn't count, but the following are lyrics from a song I wrote (but no one has cut :( ).

I never was a whiskey man
'til you came in my life
Beer was always strong enough
to get me through the night

Now I hate to make excuses
For why I drink more than I should
But darlin' you're the reason
The whiskey tastes so good

You're The Reason, Don Conners

It's just a fad
Part of the teenage angst brigade and
I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people

Remember today
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

I love the way you love
But I hate the way
I'm supposed to love you back

Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping

About her in my heart

for deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one

Sometimes I try to do things and it just doesn't work out the way I wanted to.
I get real frustrated and I try hard to do it and I take my time and it doesn't work out the way I wanted to.
It's like I concentrate real hard and it doesn't work out
Everything I do and everything I try never turns out
It's like I need time to figure these things out
But there's always someone there going

Hey Mike:
You know we've been noticing you've been having a lot of problems lately.
You know, maybe you should get away and maybe you should talk about it, maybe you'll feel a lot better

And I go:
No it's okay, you know I'll figure it out, just leave me alone I'll figure it out. You know I'll just work by myself.

And they go:
Well you know if you want to talk about it I'll be here you know and you'll probably feel a lot better if you talk about it.

And I go:
No I don't want to I'm okay, I'll figure it out myself and they just keep bugging me and they just keep bugging me and it builds up inside and it builds up inside.

No ma'am, tomorrow may be too late
I'd like to have it started right away

In the man that she loves
Wanted
Just one chance to tell her how much he still loves her
He can't be sorry enough

She said she was fresh from the farm
And I remember thinkin' for a country girl
That she went pretty well armed
We sat there talkin' by the lobster tank
I ordered her a slow gin fizz
And when them chicken fried steaks arrived
She said I like living like this

So I made her the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Times she's run off and I've got to trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck

Sammy Kershaw, Queen of My Double Wide Trailer

[Tank]

Well I met her out at Murphy's restaurant
She said she was fresh from the farm
And I remember thinkin' for a country girl
That she went pretty well armed
We sat there talkin' by the lobster tank
I ordered her a slow gin fizz
And when them chicken fried steaks arrived
She said I like living like this

So I made her the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Times she's run off and I've got to trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck

Maybe your luck has changed
Settle down
Maybe I'm just deranged
And on the rebound
Maybe love was the thing
Holding me back from all
Maybe I'm just the thing
To break my own fall
Take the rope to my heart and fall
You may just be the last before you
See the black tangled heart fall

Silverchair - Black Tangled Heart

You asked was I holding
I said I'm not holding
I thought you were holding instead

But if you run out
before I run out
let's go see some other head

And ask if he's holding
Get down and start rolling
the smoke we're holding instead

John Hartford, RIP

She love to party, have a good time
She looks so hearty, feeling fine
She loves to smoke, sometime shifting coke
She'll be laughing when there ain't no joke

A pimper's paradise, that's all she was now
A pimper's paradise, that's all she was

Every need got an ego to feed
Every need got an ego to feed

We're piling up in the corner
Can't clean the mess in me
I tried to warn her
But you can't blame the kids
For what they're born into
Still it just makes me sick
To take a whiff of you
Another stupid game
We'll just make up the rules
As we go along
Makes us so dull we drool
And it's a bitter taste
But you'll get used to it
Just try it on for size
That stinky shoe that fits
And tell your mom to stop calling me
And get your axe out of the stump
Of my family tree
If this is real then I don't think I want to be
Just tell your mom to stop calling me / Trash

And tellyour mom to stop calling me / Trash
Tell your mom takes one to know one / Trash
tellyour mom to stop stealing my / Stash
Tell your mom to stop sending me / Cash
Tell your mom I'm on the radio trash

I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
In a big field of tall grass
I laid there in the sun and felt it carressing my face
And i fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed i was in a hollywood movie
And that i was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind

The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof
And the horses wonder who U are
The thunder drowns out what the lightning sees, huh
And U feel like a movie star

I wouldn't change a stroke cuz baby I'm the most
With a girl as fine as she was then

Leaves falling red, yellow, brown, all are the same,
And the love you have found lay outside in the rain.
Washed clean by the water but nursing it’s pain.
The witch’s promise was coming, and you’re looking
Elsewhere for your own selfish gain.

Keep looking, keep looking for somewhere to be,
Well, you’re wasting your time, they’re not stupid like he is.
Meanwhile leaves are still falling, you’re too blind to see.

She was the same as a hundred ladies
But when my eyes looked at her I learned
That she was keeping a secret fire
And if I got real close I'd burn
And so it looked like I had to move slowly
Just like a cat at night in the trees
'Cause I was waiting for her to show me
That way that she liked her love to feel

How ya gonna make it baby?
That's the question to be asked
Life goes on around you
In so many different ways
I know my share of history
How hard it is to be free
From wearing masks that turn to skin
Hiding what you could have been

Which way, which way to choose?

Oh yeah - remember the day? And from the same vintage, I can hear old Paul Rogers crooning now!

I took her home to my place,
Watchin' every move on her face;
She said, "Look, what's your game?
Are you tryin' to put me to shame?"
I said "Slow, don't go so fast, don't you think that love can last?"
She said, "Love, Lord above,
now you're tryin' to trick me in love."
All right now, baby, it's a-all right now.

Go on downtown baby, find somebody to love.

to live like you were dying.

I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
I asked him his name and in a raspy voice
he said Yoda, Y-O-D-A, Yoda

Well I've never ever been a Jedi before
But Obi Wan he set me straight of course
He said go to Yoda and he'll show you the force

Well I'm not the kind that'll argue with Ben

They decide and the shotgun sings the song!

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
When the death count gets higher.
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud.

Well, its bulls and blood
Its dust and mud
Its the roar of a sunday crowd
Its the white in his knuckles
The gold in the buckle
Hell win the next go round
Its boots and chaps
Its cowboy hats
Its spurs and latigo
Its the ropes and the reins
And the joy and the pain
And they call the thing rodeo.

My Sunday feelin' is comin' all over me
My Sunday feelin' is comin' all over me
Now that the night is over
Gotta clear my head so I can see

Day after day, love turns gray
Like the skin of a dying man.
Night after night, we pretend its all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more.
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a tourniquet,
Dry as a funeral drum....

one of my turns - pink floyd;)

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, I've been afraid of changing
cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too

Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down

We spotted the ocean at the head of the trail
Where are we going, so far away
And somebody told me that this is the place
Where everythings better, everythings safe

Well I wish I had a date
With a lot of trust and devotion
Well I wish I didn't have a chump
Who liked to spread her legs like the ocean
But if you know I had a date
And she wouldn't play on me
Cowwa-cowwa bunga
Yeah, man, real peachy

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Does anybody know you're here?
This house of ill-repute (Ooohh honey I'm scared of u)
Tryin' 2 deal with all your fears
I guess this is what u get 4 being cute (Cute, cute)
Soaked in banana cologne
No wonder you're all alone
It's written all over your face
You're just-a rock hard in a funky place

Although we often wondered
It was no thing of wonder
The **** that flew from our minds
While wearing stains of fresh fruit
And riding on shoes of horse glue
On this ridiculous climb
With great tunnel vision
We built ourselves a mission
To ride our motives design
Oh, what a vague description
Of what we have been missing
So why would anyone try?

When the still sea conspires an armor
And her sullen and aborted
Currents breed tiny monsters
True sailing is dead
Awkward instant
And the first animal is jettisoned
Legs furiously pumping
Their stiff green gallop
And heads bob up
Poise
Delicate
Pause
Consent
In mute nostril agony
Carefully refined
And sealed over

Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb - burn with a weak heart
(So I) guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
It's ok I know nothing's wrong . . nothing

Spelled out your name and lists the reasons
Pain of heart
Don't call me back
I imagine you when I was distant
Non-insistent
I follow suit and laid out on my back Imagine that
A million hours left to think of you
And think of that.

:eek: This is what happens to old farts like me when we're flipping TV channels between the O's game and the Democratic Convention (who knows why?).....and playing on the computer. Obviously I can no longer multi-task.....:o

I'll let someone pick it up from the correct spot.
