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

Many know how to play, 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]

There's nobody else
I walk the streets under the rain
Poetry in my misery
I lost my way, i'm homeless
I lost my keys
I don't even know my own address
And there's nowhere I wanna be

Can you help me?
Can you help me?
Never asked for anything
Can you help me oh can you help me?
Can someone help me breathe?

Just walkin' in the rain
Getting soaking wet
Torturing my heart
By trying to forget

Just walkin' in the rain
So alone and blue
All because my heart
Still remembers you

Johnnie Ray

[Arksided]

Put me on a train
In the pouring rain
Say farewell but don't say goodbye

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

One more glass of wine
Just for auld lang syne
And the girl I left behind

Rodney...some scot fella

I don't know if you can see the changes that have come over me
In these last few days I've been afraid that I might drift away
So I've been telling old stories, singing songs that make me think about where I came from
And that's the reason why I seem so far away today

But let me tell you that I love you, that I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me, and now I'm going home
But if I should become a stranger you know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

Dougie Maclean

[Hazlinny]

And they've sailed east, and they've sailed west
Until they reached the land that they all loved the best
For the waves they did roar and the seas they did beat
And they've all arrived safe to Caledonia

And they hadnae been there but threequarters o' a year
When fine silks and satins he's made her for to wear
When in fine silks and satins he's made her for to go
Now she's the captain's wife in Caledonia
Now she's the captain's wife in Caledonia

Eighteen
I'd never been far from home
A young lad seekin' destiny
This ship
With a hundred hands or more
To set sail on a stormy sea

I don't know how we can find our way
With only the stars in the sky
To be our guide
I was green inside
When I heard the captain calling

Anchors aweigh now
Anchors aweigh
We're underway now
Anchors aweigh

I've heard tales of boats that ran aground
Ghost ships dead in the sun
And of men bewitched by the siren's song
Those that died were the lucky ones

One wave can knock a man overboard
And in the name of the crown
A man could drown
I was feeling down
When I heard the captain calling

My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
Well, my Bonnie lies over the ocean
Yeah, bring back my Bonnie to me
Yeah, bring back, ah, bring back
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me
Ah, bring, oh, bring back, ah, bring back
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me

Once upon a time, it was paradise
Once upon a time, I was paralyzed
Think I'm gonna miss these harbor lights
But it's time to let it go
Once upon a time, it was made for us
Woke up one day, it had turned to dust
Baby, we were found, but now we're lost
So it's time to let it go

I want my house in the hills
Don't want the whiskey and pills
I don't give up easily
But I don't think I'm down

So won't you slide away
Back to the ocean, I'll go back to the city lights
So won't you slide away
Back to the ocean, la la la, you'll slide away
So won't you slide away
Back to the ocean, I'll go back to the city lights
So won't you slide away
Back to the ocean, la la la, you'll slide away...

If paradise is half as nice as heaven that you take me to
Who needs paradise I'd rather have you
They say paradise is up in the stars
But I needn't sigh because it's so far
'Cause I know it's worth a heaven on earth
For me where you are

A look from your eyes, a touch of your hand
And I seem to fly to some other land
When you are around my heart always pounds
Just like a brass band

[Arksided]

Come on, hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand
I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste

 Robbie

[Hazlinny]

Oh, yeah, I'll tell you somethin'
I think you'll understand
When I say that somethin'
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand

Something is happening and it started happening when you walked by
Something is happening and it's changing everything do you know why?

As soon as you started to kiss me
Something new suddenly hit me
Love walked over, it's always happening the same sort of things to others too
Something is happening to me and I only hope the same thing is happening to you

Something is happening Exiting, bewildering you must know why
Something is happening I can't think of anything but you and I

Herman's Hermits

[Arksided]

I never dreamed I could cry so hard
That ain't like a man
I could fly like a bird somedays
Had a place where I could land

I could have sworn we were all locked in
Ain't that what you said
I never knew it could hurt so bad
When the power of love is dead

But giving into the nightime
Ain't no cure for the pain
You gotta wade into the water
You gotta learn to live again

And reach out for her healing hands
Reach out for her healing hands
There's a light, where the darkness ends,
Touch me now and let me see again,
Rock me now in your gentle healing hands

[Hazlinny]

I search the world for someone I'll never find
Someone who ain't ooh the hurting kind
Ooh if you stay the night oh yeah
We'll make the wrong seem right

So come on now
Rock me, rock me
Roll me through the night
Rock me, rock 
Roll me through the night

Great White              ........... soon be ⚽ time

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

… Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees, and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me

Carpenters

[mushroom25]

If you love somebody
Better tell them why they're here 'cause
They just may run away from you

You'll never know what went well
Then again it just depends on
How long of time is left for you

I've had the highest mountains
I've had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but not til you move it

Now take it in but don't look down

'Cause I'm on top of the world, 'ey
I'm on top of the world, 'ey
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, 'ey
Been holding it in for a while, 'ey
Take it with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world

I've tried to cut these corners
Try to take the easy way out
I kept on falling short of something

I coulda gave up then but
Then again I couldn't have 'cause
I've traveled all this way for something

Now take it in but don't look down

'Cause I'm on top of the world, 'ey....

I want you
To kiss away the tensions
The issues never mentioned
With all the best intentions
But you turn away

Oh, baby, if you find
I'm not the loving kind
I'll buy you flowers, I'll pour you wine
Do anything to change your mind
I know you may be disinclined
To find the love we've left behind
So kiss me, then make up your mind
I'm not the loving kind

[Ken4155]

"Dislocate your spine if you don't sign," he says,

"I'll have you seeing double."

Mesmerise you when he's tongue-tied

Simply with those eyes

Synchronize your minds and see

The beast within him rise

Don't look back, don't look back

It's a rip off

👑

[Hazlinny]

You see the signs everywhere you walk
You can hear it in their voice everytime they talk (everytime they talk)
Try to get you to subscribe, try to get you to like
They never tell you their secrets, but in the end they're just waiting
To rip you off, tear you apart
Break the best of you and make it fade away
But you, you know better than that
You do not have to accept, because they'll probably rip you off

Cole

[Mugget]

There's nothing left for you to give 
The truth is all that you're left with 
Twenty paces then at dawn 
We will die and be reborn 

I like to sleep beneath the trees 
Have the universe at one with me 
Look down the barrel of a gun 
And feel the moon replace the sun 

Everything we've ever stolen 
Has been lost returned or broken 
No more dragons left to slay 
Every mistake I've ever made 
Has been rehashed and then replayed 
As I got lost along the way 

Bum bum bum ba da dum bum bum
