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.

If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show
The you I've come to know

Picture this, a day in December
Picture this, freezing cold weather
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids
If it weren't for your job at the garage
If you could only oh-oh
Picture this, a sky full of thunder
Picture this, my telephone number
One and one is what I'm telling you, oh yeah

In the night, there are sights to be seen
Stars like jewels on the crown of a queen
But the only sight I wanna view
Is that wonderful picture of you

On a streetcar, or in the café
All of the evening, and most of the day
My mind is in a maze what can I do?
I still see that picture of you

Joe Brown

Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we used to be

[Hazlinny]

My body's shaking as I see you walking by
Are we just strangers now?
My heart is breaking as the tears fill my eyes
Cause it just reminds me of how

We used to be in love, we used to be in love

Clean Cut Kid

Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wondering in the night, what were the chances?
We'd be sharing love before the night was through

Something in your eyes was so inviting
Something in your smile was so exciting
Something in my heart told me I must have you

Strangers in the night
Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night
Up to the moment when we said our first hello, little did we know
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away and.......

Kaempfert/Singleton, performed by Ol' Blue Eyes

[Hazlinny]

Just one look at you
My heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone
Bring out the Gypsy in me

I love all the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you

Don't be a naughty baby
Come to mama, come to mama do
My sweet embraceable you

Ella Fitzgerald

[Canary42]

Hold your hand out naughty boy
Last night in the pale moonlight
I saw you
With a nice girl in the park you were strolling full of joy
And you told her you'd never kissed a girl before
Hold your hand out naughty boy!

It's after twelve
Can't face the day
Remind me just how hard it can be
To forget
I said things I didn't mean
You saw things you shouldn't have seen

Been a naughty girl
Real bad so and so
Done too many things a girl shouldn't know
I swear I never knew
I could hurt you so
One too many things a girl shouldn't know

Holly Valance

[Hazlinny]

Yesterday, you asked me something I thought you knew
So I told you with a smile 'It's all about you'
Then you whispered in my ear and you told me to
Say 'If you make my life worthwhile, it's all about you'
And I would answer all you're wishes, if you asked me to
But if you deny me one of your kisses, don't know what I'd do
So hold me close and say three words, like you used to do
Dancing on the kitchen tiles, it's all about you
Yeah...

McFly

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Beatles

[Arksided]

I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home and I've been facing this alone
For much too long
Oh, I feel like no one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind, I've been looking back to find
Where I went wrong

👑

[Hazlinny]

I've been drinking
And staying up too late reliving bad decisions
I thought eventually my ranting here would fix it
I really think sometimes there's something that I'm missing

Oh, I know spiraling is miserable
I should probably go back home
Why does that feel difficult, difficult?
Oh, I hope I wake up invisible
I'd be someone no one knows
I guess I'm just difficult, difficult

Gracie Abrams

[Arksided]

This is the final call for all destination,
This is were you're in or out,
No hesitation,
This is not the time for doubts,
Make your decision ,
Are you on or off the line?, ine, ine

I'm ready for the lift up,
Keep steady beat
'Cause I'm ready for the big jump,
Keep up with me,
If you lose me then you know,
You're just a bit too slow,
I only go up, up.
I'm ready to be in control
And the ground isn't good enough for me,
I know where to find what I want and I'm gonna keep on,
Keep on, up, up.

The Saturdays

[Hazlinny]

The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly, we can fly

Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon

5th Dimension

[maggiebee]

In and out of the Red Balloon
Marry the farmers daughter, yeah
Sleepy heads in the afternoon
Callow la, callow la Vita

Well the old man passed me by
And he didn't hear me cry
I didn't know his name
And he didn't come again
The sun was coming out
And the kids began to shout
The dogs began to bark
In that lovely Paris park... OH!

Dave Clark Five

[Hazlinny]

I gave you all my loving baby
Yellow clouds I'm going crazy
Lazy summer thoughts are hazy
Maybe it was a dream
Variation on a theme
Too familiar it seems

And the skyline stole
Your Parisian soul
You want somebody to hold
And you miss
Summer in Paris
Summer in Paris, oh, you do

 

[maggiebee]

I love Paris in the springtime
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles

I love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris, why, oh why do I love Paris?
Because my love is near

Doris Day, Dean Martin et al

[Hazlinny]

How would you like to be
Down by the Seine with me?
Oh, what I'd give for a moment or two
Under the bridges of Paris with you

Darling I'd hold you tight
Far from the eyes of night

Under the bridges of Paris with you
I'd make your dreams come true

Dean Martin again .....
