See How Far This Goes...

[Arksided]

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.

Six a.m. backin' out of your drive
The sun's coming up so you pull that visor down
Morning news you spin your dial to the left
Then your heart does a backflip right outta your chest
It's me, and you'd know soon as you hear it
The frequency of a memory comin' in clear
And I know you don't hold on
But baby I still do
It's a long shot girl but I'm coming to you

From the other side of the radio
Turn me up I'll take you back down that road
I miss you like crazy
I'll never let you go
And the only way I can let you know is
From the other side of the radio

I was tuning in the shine on the late night dial
Doing anything my radio advised
With every one of those late night stations
Playing songs bringing tears to my eyes
I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver
When the switch broke 'cause it's old
They're saying things that I can hardly believe
They really think we're getting out of control

Radio is a sound salvation
Radio is cleaning up the nation
They say you better listen to the voice of reason
But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason
So you had better do as you are told
You better listen to the radio

I wanna bite the hand that feeds me
I wanna bite that hand so badly
I want to make them wish they'd never seen me..

Elvis Costello

It's late at night and I'm feeling down
There are couples standing on the street
Sharing summer kisses and silly sounds

So, I step inside, pour a glass of wine
With a full glass and an empty heart
I search for somethin' to occupy my mind

'Cause you are in my head
Swimming forever in my head
Tangled in my dreams
Swimming forever

So, I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
And all the songs we used to know
So, I listen to the radio (listen to the radio)
Remember where we used to go

The Corrs 👩👩👩🤪

[Hazlinny]

Don't look back, ooh, a new day is breakin'
It's been so long since I felt this way
I don't mind, ooh, where I get taken
The road is callin', today is the day

I can see, it took so long just to realize
I'm much too strong not to compromise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around
Oh, yes I will

Boston

[Arksided]

Flute player play your flute 'cause
I know that you want to get your thing off
But you see I've made up my mind about it
It's got to be the rhythm, no doubt about it, woah woah
'Cause when the guitar player start playing
With the syncopated rhythm, with the scratch, scratch, scratch
Makes me want to move my body yeah, yeah, yeah
And when the drummer starts beating that beat
He nails that beat with the syncopated rhythm
With the rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat on the drums, hey

Turn the beat around (I'm talking about the beat)
Love to hear the percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear the percussion (love to hear the beat now)
Love to hear it
Love to hear it

Emergency - paging Dr. Beat - Emergency
Doctor
I've got this feeling
Deep inside of me
Deep inside of me.
Ijust can't control my feet
When I hear the beat
When I hear the beat.
Hey doctor
Could you give me something
To ease the pain
To ease the pain
'Cause if you don't help me soon
I'm gonna lose my brain
Gonna go insane.
Ijust don't know
Don't know
How I'm gonna deal with you
Doc
Doc
Doc
Doc
Doctor Beat.

Doctor! Doctor!
Can't you see I'm burning, burning
Oh Doctor! Doctor!
Is this love I'm feeling?

Come with me
And make believe
We can travel to eternity

Thompson Twins

[Arksided]

How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning

Midnight Oil

[1ozzy]

Let's dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let's dance
To the song they're playin' on the radio
 

[Hazlinny]

Sounds like a damn good time
Soakin' up some neon light
Well, it's a little bit of fiddle
And whole lot of country gold
Yeah, my whole life
Sounds like the radio

Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart

[douglas9401]

You keep it up, you try so hard
To keep a life from coming apart
And never know the shallows and the unseen reef
That are there from the start
In the shape of a heart.

 

Jackson Browne

[Hazlinny]

And, how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?

Bee Gees

[maggiebee]

Don't look for no worries
Worries and troubles come around
Yes, I don't look for no worries, people
Worries and troubles come around
The world keep on turning
I got to keep my feet on the ground

Fleetwood Mac

[Ken4155]

Try not to get worried

Try not to turn onto

Problems that upset you, oh

Don't you know, everything's alright, yeah

Everything's fine

And i think i shall sleep well tonight

Let the world turn without you tonight

Close your eyes, close your eyes

And forget all about us tonight

Yvonne Elliman - JC Superstar

[Arksided]

Can't sleep tonight
I feel so shaken
Baby the wind has changed again
You came to me
Straight out of nowhere
Taking me where I've never been

Suddenly all of my fences have broken
I'm cutting the reins of my life

Belinda

[maggiebee]

Close your eyes
Let me tell you all the reasons why
Think you're one of a kind
Here's to you
The one that always pulls us through
Always do what you gotta do
You're one of a kind
Thank God you're mine

You're an angel dressed in armour
You're the fair in every fight
You're my life and my safe harbour
Where the sun sets every night
And if my love is blind
I don't want to see the light

Michael Buble

Posted at same time as Maggie but if follows... so...

 

All you've got is this moment
Twenty-first century's yesterday
You can care all you want
Everybody does, yeah, that's okay

So slide over here and give me a moment
Your moves are so raw, I've got to let you know
I've got to let you know
You're one of my kind

I need you tonight
'Cause I'm not sleepin'
There's somethin' about you, girl
That makes me sweat

INXS

[Hazlinny]

There's something about that boy
There's something about that boy
He's bringing me so much joy
I don't know what it is but those eyes of his look through me
He's got everything that a girl could need
He's not like the others; he's so sweet
And there's almost nothing I wouldn't do (nothing she wouldn't do...)
To make sure that his dreams come true... (woah...)

Rosanna Hyland

[Arksided]

He made a movie
He played the driver of a big yellow car
He is super fab and groovy
He struts, and he crows
(You never know where you are with him)

He got no sense, but he got money
He got no sense, but he got overnight success
Exceed excess, exceed excess

He no big deal, he just a wide boy
He no big deal, he just an ordinary guy
Oh, me, oh, my
Oh, me, oh, my

And with your symmetry teeth
And your California tan, well
I'm here to tell you that you ain't no Superman
You just a wide boy (wide boy)

Nik Kershaw
