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]

Say, don't you remember? They called me 'Al'
It was 'Al' all the time
Why don't you remember? I'm your pal
Say buddy, can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, ah, gee, we looked swell
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum

Oh, say, don't you remember? They called me 'Al'
It was 'Al' all the time
Say, don't you remember? I'm your pal
Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Bing Crosby

A man walks down the street
He says, "Why am I soft in the middle now?
Why am I soft in the middle?
The rest of my life is so hard
I need a photo-opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don't want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard"

Bone digger, bone digger
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away in my well-lit door
Mr. Beer belly, Beer belly
Get these mutts away from me
You know, I don't find this stuff amusing anymore

If you'd be my bodyguard
I can be your long-lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty, when you call me
You can call me Al.....

Paul Simon

[Hazlinny]

Betty, I won't make assumptions
About why you switched your homeroom
But I think it's 'cause of me
Betty, one time, I was ridin' on my skateboard
When I passed your house
It's like I couldn't breathe

You heard the rumors from Inez
You can't believe a word she says most times
But this time, it was true
The worst thing that I ever did
Was what I did to you

Taylor Swift

Breathe the pressure
Come play my game, I'll test ya
Psychosomatic, addict, insane
Breathe the pressure
Come play my game, I'll test ya
Psychosomatic, addict, insane
Come play my game
Inhale, inhale, you're the victim
Come play my game
Exhale, exhale, exhale.....

The Prodigy

[Hazlinny]

Woah, the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meanin' what they say now
Never sayin' what they mean

While they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
'Til they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
Woah

Joe South

[mushroom25]

Every day I spend my time
Drinkin' wine, feelin' fine
Waitin' here to find the sign
That I can understand - yes I am

In the days between the hours
Ivory towers, bloody flowers
Push their heads into the air
I don't care if I ever know - there I go

Don't push your love too far
Your wounds won't leave a scar
Right now is where you are
In a broken dream

Did someone bow their head?
Did someone break the bread?
Good people are in bed
Before nine o'clock......

Python Lee Jackson (ft Rod Stewart)

[Hazlinny]

Lay your love on me
Leave your head, and
Let your mind be free
Save yourself, and
Leave the words you've spoken, 'cause
Some dreams are meant to be broken

Hallman

One for you and one for me
But one and one and one
Pardon me - comes to three
Looking sweet and all the while
Hid behind the smile was saccharine
I'm a go between

Save me, save me
Baby, baby sugar me
Gotta get my candy free
Sugar me by day
Sugar me my baby, baby sugar me
Gotta get my candy free
Sugar me by day, sugar me by night
Sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar

Lynsey De Paul

If you wanted that star that shines so brightly
To match the stardust in your eye
Darling, I would chase that bright star nightly
And try to steal it from the sky
And I would bring

Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your first sweet kiss thrilled me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

The Searchers

[mushroom25]

Show me 'round your fruit cage
'Cause I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruit cage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be

I wanna be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name?
You'd better call the sledgehammer
Put your mind at rest
I'm going to be the sledgehammer
This can be my testimony
Wow! I'm your sledgehammer
Let there be no doubt about it......

Peter Gabriel

[Hazlinny]

Well, I've got a hammer
And I've got a bell
And I've got a song to sing
All over this land
It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom
It's a song about love between
My brothers and my sisters
All over this land
It's a hammer of justice
It's a bell of freedom
It's a song about love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

Peter, Paul & Mary

In an old village called Churdling-cum-Strando
Whack, Whack, go kick a neighbour
They did have a church with a steeple so grand-o
Fol diddle diddle di doh I hate my old mum
For hundreds of years now the bell in that steeple
Whack, Whack, spreading the muck round.
Had never been heard by the village's people
Fol diddle diddle di doh may I leave the room

Rum tiddle tiddle tum tiddle tiddle scum on the water
Lint in your navel and sand in your tea

In old days the squire had a beautiful daughter
Whack, Whack, Nina and Fredrick
She loved the poor verger and one night dad caught her
Fol diddle diddle di doh I just hurt my foot
I love him dear dad she said, tears she was shedding
Whack, Whack, half-day on Thursday
Quite likely said father and battered her head in
Fol diddle diddle di doh superfluous hair

Rum tiddle tiddle tum tiddle tiddle scum on the water
Lint in your navel and sand in your tea.....

King/Junkin, performed by Marty Feldman

[Hazlinny]

This old man, he played one
He played knick-knack on my thumb
With a knick-knack paddy whack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

and so it goes on ...............

The Wiggles

In eighteen hundred and forty one
Me corduroy breeches I put on
To work upon the railway, the railway
I'm weary of the railway
Poor Paddy works on the railway
In eighteen hundred and forty two
From Hartlepool I moved to Crewe
And found meself a job to do
Workin' on the railway
I was wearing corduroy britches
Digging ditches, pullin' switches, dodging hitches
I was workin' on the railway.....

Trad, recorded by many including The Wolfe Tones and The Dubliners

[Hazlinny]

We went to the room and we bolted the door
The bass from the jukebox
Was coming through the floor
And out through the walls
We could still hear the roar of the trains
Was this all the comfort we got for our sins?
No candles, no waiters, no soft violins?
A dirty electric convector plugged into the mains

I had wanted much more
For the first night with you
But the railway hotel
Was the best I could do
I knew the Savoy
Would have suited you well
But the best I could do
Was the railway hotel

Well, I'm standing here looking at you
What do I see? I'm looking straight through
It's so sad when you're young
To be told you're having fun

So unplug the jukebox and do us all a favor
That music's lost its taste so try another flavor
Antmusic, antmusic, antmusic, antmusic

Well, I'm standing here, what do I see?
A big nothing threatening me
It's so sad when you're young
To be told you're having fun

So unplug the jukebox and do us all a favor
That music's lost its taste so try another flavor
Antmusic, antmusic, antmusic, antmusic......

Goddard/Pirroni, performed by Adam & The Ants
