See How Far This Goes...

[Arksided]

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

Many know how to play and 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.    

[Hazlinny]

At the end of a song
There's no one
After the last note is played
Only the memory stays
Then even that fades away
And there's nothing so hard
As convincing your heart
That you should start singing again

Johnny Cash   ...... Just noticed last thread beat previous month by two!

[Arksided]

Baby, you've been going so crazy
Lately, nothing seems to be going right
So low, why'd you have to get so low?
You're so
You've been waiting in the sun too long

But if you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
For the love you bring won't mean a thing
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing

Travis. Way above the numbers expected even taking away ones own contributions, once it starts dwindling I'll give it a rest for a while.

[Hazlinny]

Sing a happy song, sing a happy song
Why don't you sing along, sing a happy song?
You don't have to dance, sing a happy song
Come on, clap your hands, sing a happy song

Music's good for your soul
It can bring a real good feelin'
Good for the young and old
Brighten up the darkest day, oh

It can be your release
It can supply you with peace
Some peace of mind
Why don't you

The O'Jays

Two, one-two-three-four!

Ev'rybody's talking 'bout
Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism
This-ism, that-ism, is-m, is-m, is-m

All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

John Lennon

[Hazlinny]

Everybody's talkin' 'bout a new way of walkin'
Do you want to lose your mind?
Walk right in, sit right down
Baby, let your hair hang down

Bobbby Darin

[Canary42]

Walk right back to me this minute
Bring your love to me, don't send it
I'm so lonesome every day

Everly Brothers

[Hazlinny]

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
Like me, he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome, I could cry

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome, I could cry

Hank Williams & The Drifting Cowboys

[Arksided]

Just lying, smiling in the dark
Shooting stars around your heart
Dreams come bouncing in your head
Pure and simple every time

Now you're crying in your sleep
I wish you'd never learned to weep
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
Pure and simple every time

The Lightning Seeds

[Canary42]

Hush, little baby don't you cry
Hush, little baby don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mocking bird

… And if that mocking bird don't sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring

[Arksided]

Papa, don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Papa, don't preach, I've been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby, hm
I'm gonna keep my baby, hmm

Madonna

[Canary42]

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake,

In the caldron boil and bake;

Eye of newt and toe of frog,

Wool of bat and tongue of dog,

Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,

Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,

For a charm of powerful trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

William Shakespeare

[Hazlinny]

I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air,
They fly so high, nearly reach the sky,
Then like my dreams they fade and die.
Fortune's always hiding,
I've looked everywhere,
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.

Vera Lynn

Little Polly Flinders 

Sat among the cinders, 

Warming her pretty little toes.

Mother came and caught her,

And whipped her little daughter

For spoiling her nice new clothes.

Old Nursery Rhyme

[Hazlinny]

There's a brand new dance but I don't know its name
That people from bad homes do again and again
It's big and it's bland, full of tension and fear
They do it over there but we don't do it here
Fashion - Turn to the left
Fashion - Turn to the right
Ooh, fashion
We are the goon squad and we're coming to town
Beep-beep
Beep-beep

David Bowie

[Canary42]

I'm walking backwards for Christmas,
Across the Irish Sea,
I'm walking backwards for Christmas,
It's the only thing for me.

I've tried walking sideways,
And walking to the front,
But people just look at me,
And say it's a publicity stunt.

Goon: Spike Milligan

[Hazlinny]

I'm driving home for Christmas
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces
I'm driving home for Christmas, yeah
Well, I'm moving down that line

And it's been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car 🚘

Chris Rea

[Canary42]

So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
This dusty old dust is a-gettin' my home
And I've got to be driftin' along

Woody Guthrie

[maggiebee]

The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door

The Beatles
