See How Far This Goes...

[Arksided]

Hi everyone the last one no longer appears in recent posts...

Many know how to play new players are always welcome, they isn't rules as such just post a song lyric that follows on from the previous one. 
Feel free to have a natter along the way, artist is optional although helpful if a little obscure all I ask is you play nice Xx

The first poster has free choice for an opening song lyric of this 'new' thread.  

[Ken4155]

And, in the death,

As the last few corpses lay rotting in the slimy thouroughfare

The shutters lifted an inch in temperence building, high on

Poacher's Hill

And red mutant eyes gazed down on Hunger City

No more big wheels.

Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats

And ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes

Coveting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers

Like packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of Love-Me Avenue

Ripping and re-wrapping, mink and shiny silver fox

Now leg warmers

Family badge of sapphire and cracked emerald

Any day now, the year of the Diamond Dogs

"This ain't rock and roll, this is genocide!"

Bowie - spoken intro

Don't get chance to put that one up very often😉

 

[Ken4155]

And, having typed those words, i just had to play the song;

&t=65s

 

[Arksided]

Hi Ken I'm not familiar with that one I'll have a listen later this afternoon.

You suck my blood like a leech
You break the law and you breach
Screw my brain 'til it hurts
You've taken all my money, and you want more

Misguided old mule
With your pigheaded rules
With your narrow-minded cronies
Who are fools of the first division

Death on two legs
You're tearing me apart
Death on two legs
You never had a heart
Of your own

👑😉

[Hazlinny]

Oh, I had a heart as bright as the stars
And you had an arm, you kept me in the dark
And I had a laugh that you broke in half
And I had a heart that I thought you would stop

Sia

[Arksided]

Just walking down the street one cloudless sunny day
Just minding my business thinking my thoughts
Nothing much to say
When suddenly I got hit
Imagine my surprise
Your smile came up and zapped me right between the eyes
I'd never seen anything to compare with your smile
I'd never seen anything that came within miles
My heart got hijacked by you

👑 The Miracle bonus track - Roger on lead vocals.

[Hazlinny]

 

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues

'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

Sinead O'Connor

[Arksided]

How come I'd never hear you say,
"I just wanna be with you."
I guess you never felt that way

But since you've been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get (I get) what I want
Since you've been gone

Kelly Clarkson. Thanks for the heads up about the last thread running out Hazi Xx

[Hazlinny]

just saying .... 🤣

I can't get you off my mind, I just want to be with you
You're the best I'll ever find, I want to be with you

E-Type

 

[Arksided]

I don't know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go
'Cause you've started something, oh, can't you see?
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me

It happens to be true
I only want to be with you

Dusty Springfield. Loads have covered this song even Sam Fox.

[elliemay1]

None as good as Dusty, though!

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

The Beatles

[maggiebee]

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

And then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
And not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love, I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

Written by Neil Diamond and covered by many.

[Arksided]

"Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (any time of year)
You can find it here"

🦅s. Inclined to agree with you Elliemay.

[maggiebee]

All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)
On a winter's day (on a winter's day)
I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm)
If I was in L.A. (if I was in L.A.)

California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

The Mamas and the Papas

[Hazlinny]

We've been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for number one
California here we come
Right back where we started from

Hustlers grab your guns
Your shadow weighs a ton
Driving down the 101
California here we come
Right back where we started from

California here we come

Phantom Planet

 

[Arksided]

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Pink Floyd

[Hazlinny]

Looking back over my life
I can see where I caused you strife
But I know, oh yes, I know
I'd never make that same mistake again
Looking back over my deeds
I can see signs a wise man heeds
And if I just had the chance
I'd never make that same mistake again

NKC

[Arksided]

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime

And bad mistakes‒
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through

👑. Ken... I finally got around to playing your Lyric-Video starter song, yes I are familiar with it afterall, a good starter.

[Hazlinny]

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Sinatra

[Arksided]

No regrets
They don't work
No regrets now
They only hurt
Sing me a love song
(Sing me a love song)
Drop me a line
(Drop me a line)
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine

Robbie

[Hazlinny]

Please send me a letter
Make me feel better
