Lyric Chain

[Smackdaddy]

We start off with a lyric and the next poster has to guess the artist and give their own lyric line that contains one word from the previous person's lyric.

Don't get too esotheric and stop the game in its tracks or anything! Keep it pretty simple.

I'll do the first two as an example.

Hey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand?

[Smackdaddy]

Jimi Hendrix

Janie's got a gun
Whole world's come undone

[s8n]

ok i read the rules now...
-

"janie always said i was a mess,
sorry 'bout that mess..."

[Smackdaddy]

Well, ok, I guess you can use the article "a" to link your lyric to mine if you REALLY want. :p

[Smackdaddy]

YOU wanna mess with the Bizkit? - Yeah
You can't mess with the Bizkit - Why?

Ok, this one is pretty easy now boys and girls.

[hipcheck]

I'm glad I don't know any Limp Bizkotti songs.

Sorry, didn't want to mess up the flow =)

[KSBrennan]

Why do birds suddenly appear,
Everytime you are near?
Just like me, they long to be,
Close to you.

[Z-Man]

"Beauty sat bathing by a stream
where fairer shades did hide her.
The wind blew calm.
The birds did sing.
The cold stream ran beside her."

Sorry Alec. Don't think anyone will get this. :D

[rocketstrike]

Yeah okay. So I cheated.
Google returned loads of hits on the first line.

You shouldn't have tried to hold this up.

Do we have to use first verse/line?
This is the second verse and was the only thing I could come up with in short time.
Sorry if this too is obscure.

I ain't gonna work, I ain't gonna work no more.
Bought me a shack where its cool inside
Turn my back on the cold outside
I ain't gonna work, I ain't gonna work no more.

And I've checked with google. They only returned a match if you do the right search!

New rule? Only use google if it's a stinker!
Ain't the internet a smaller place with search engines?

Where's the link to the previous lyrics?

[Z-Man]

Someone had to continue this...

"Magic! Don't you know you're the one who can put out the fire!"

[Smackdaddy]

Got that one off the top of my head!

Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah

[Z-Man]

"Fire. Fire on the mountain."

[ArchdukeFerdinand]

Come over to the window my little darlin'
I'd like to try to read your palm.

[tom tom]

Leonard Cohen
(From his most famous song "So long, Marianne")

'Cause I try , and I try, and I try, and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

It might be too easy; sorry for that, but I couldn't think of any lyrics with "palm".

[Marc]

To leave ain't believing, so try and be tried.
Insufficient funds, insanity, and suicide.

"Next time I'll listen to my heart Next time, well I'll be smart
That girl could still be mine but I'm tired of the hurt
Tired of tryin I'm tired of the pain Tired of tryin' I'm tired of cryin"

If you don't like the suffix game, then there's this:

"try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough"

[WhosYurDaddy]

Ramones - Listen to my heart


"Our conversation was short and sweet
it nearly swept me right of my feet
and I'm back in the rain

This one is for Z-man...

"Well its just a box of rain, wind and water.
Believe it if you need it, if you don' just pass it on."

[Z-Man]

Think it's Jerry, could be Bob tho. Greatful Dead.

"Don't Bogart that joint, my friend.
Pass it over to me."

[corley]

that was of course Fraternity of Man / Elliot Ingber

"Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again"

[Smackdaddy]

"All of my life. Where have you been?
I wonder if I'll ever see you again"

[corley]

"Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me"

[Z-Man]

"One drink ain't enough, Jack, you better make it three!"

[corley]

"Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more."

keepin it simple :-p

[Smackdaddy]

"I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down...
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah."

[corley]

"You're poison running through my veins
You're poison, I don't want to break these chains"

"I have made the big decision
I'm gonna try to nullify my life
'Cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the dropper's neck
When I'm closing in on death"


Also- I cannot state enough how happy it makes me that corley didn't say that Z-man's lyrics were "George Thorogood."

[tom tom]

Velvet Underground - Heroin
(Great song !)

Running through my head secretly
The shouts of the boys in the factory
I ring you on the telephone silently
Like blood, like the wine in the darkroom scene

[steauengeglase]

Got my girl and she's a wow
I cast my iron knickers down
Man-sized no need to shout
Can you hear can you hear me now
My babe looking cool and neat
I'm pretty sure, good enough to eat
I'm man-sized no need to shout
Let it all let it all hang out
I'm man-size


Silence my lady head
Get girl out of my head
Douse hair with gasoline
Set it light and set it free

[ArchdukeFerdinand]

I'm shameless, nameless, nothing, and noone now.
But my soul must be iron for my fear is naked.
I'm naked and fearless.
But I'm dead inside

[steauengeglase]

I got a dog in my back yard, howled the day my baby's gone
I got a dog in my back yard, howled the day my baby's gone
Yes he puts my mind on a wonder, how that thing was goin' along

[Brandon]

He's the one
Who likes all the pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he don't know what it means

[s8n]

Lonesome Dog Blues by Lightnin' Hopkins

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..

The morning rain clouds up my window..

Well did you ever think it be okay for me to step into this world.

Always saying little girl don’t step into the club.
Well I’m just tryin’ to find out why cause dancing’s what I love.

[tom tom]

Britney Spears, "I'm A Slave 4 U"

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

[Z-Man]

Mother, tell your children not to walk my way.
Tell you children not to hear my words,
What they mean, what they say. Mother

They sit around and they say
that she came back with her tail between her legs
Like they always said she would.

[Jeffdx]

Bruce Hornsby/Across the River

Yeah, I had to cheat on that one. I admit it.


And to her legs she smiled,
you won't hurt me no more

[Smackdaddy]

Awesome song!

i hurt myself today
to see if i still feel
i focus on the pain
the only thing that's real

[Nothing]

I still can hear you breathing,
as if you've never gone away.
I still can feel your touch, your tenderness,
as if you're still there.

[steauengeglase]

so far i've been down thats true
except for your arms
you start, stand still
and shove regret back at me

[Z-Man]

Damnit! Someone's gotta either know this or be able to find it!

[Jeffdx]

It's the Deftones. I found it listed as The Hidden Track/Damone/Untitled.


The Sweetest feeling I got from you,
The things I said to you were true

[Z-Man]

Awesome song...

"Time and money for girls covered with honey
you try and aspire to be as cunning
Realing and rocking and rolling B-size D cup
Order the quarter deluxe. You gonna wake up?"

Not quite sure about the italicized lyrics but it's close.

[tom tom]

The Beastie Boys- Sounds Of Science

Well you know I have a love, for everyone I know
And you know I have a drive, for life I won't let go
But sometimes this opposition, comes rising up in me
This terrible imposition, comes blacking through my mind

[Jeffdx]

Johnny Cash/ I see a Darkness

This one might be too tough but we'll try it.



"When I've had enough, I take my pickup truck,
and I drive away. I take my last 10 bucks
just as far as it will go."

[Z-Man]

*BUMP???* C'mon. We can't let this die! Someone get this!

[tom tom]

Hah ! An indie / punk rock friend helped me out here. It's

Propagandhi - True .

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died

Our love is no other

I believe that you and me last forever
Oh yea all day and nighttime yours, leave me never
The only time I feel alright is by your side

I believe no one has guessed my lyric. It's easy!

[steauengeglase]

[Oh my bad I though you hadn't put the new lyric down.]


And you don't seem to understand
A shame, you seemed an honest man
And all those fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear

[Smackdaddy]

Damn that was obscure! Way to make me resort to web searches.

I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand

[Marc]

Tell you what I want, I ask you what I need
Might as well be deaf and dumb and not read
Never really mattered if you didn't understand
They don't speak those words in fucking Iran

[s8n]

ill tell you what i want ,what i really really want
so tell me what you want, what you really really want,
ill tell you what i want, what i really really want,

Roll out the cannon boys,

Friday afternoon with the boss gone is a good time to revive this thread.

Primus/Shake Hands with Beef

Sometimes a memory
Only sees what it wants to believe
And what's filled in between
Are days and nights that don't mean a thing

[Smackdaddy]

Around and around, the refrain
rings the same each time it's heard
Entertain the notion, that the only thing I hear
Is the crack of a smile, in a face that ain't so sincere

[swank]

Dovetail Joint - Level on the Inside

<br>
kiss me goodbye bow your head and join with me
and <b> face </b> pushed deep reflections meet
the strangest twist upon your lips </font></p>

[Smackdaddy]

Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me
Never thought I'd see your face the way it used to be
Oh darling, oh darling

[swank]

hopelessly drift in the eyes of the ghost again
down on my knees and my hands in the air again
pushing my <b> face </b> in the memory of you again</font></p>

[Courtney]

Then walk right out to the fourline track
There's a camera rolling on her back, on her back
And I sense the rhythm humming in a frenzy all the way down her spine

[swank]

I don't want to admit I know this, someone else has to know it. Think embarrassing 80's bands.

Damn I missed this last post. Duran Duran rocks.

Oh feel the beat of the rhythm of the night
Dance until the morning light
Forget about the worries on your mind
You can leave them all behind

"We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind.
'Cuase your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance
Then they're no friends of mine."

Though, I would swear, Rhythm of the Night was a Gloria Estefan song...

"If you die" you said "So do I" you said...
and it starts the day you cross that line
"swear I will always be yours and you'll always be mine

Apparently Swank really likes The Cure.

See them fighting in the street,
'Cause they can't make opinions meet,
About God,

[Courtney]

Nice one, Alec! That is one of those songs where you can read only a couple lines or hear a few seconds of the song and you know exactly what it is.

And maybe love is letting people be just what they want to be
The door always must be left unlocked
To love when circumstance may lead someone away from you
And not to spend the time just doubting

[Z-Man]

Since no one's gotten Courtney's 420 offering, I'd like to throw down MudBuddha (http://forums.chasermag.com//member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=180)'s new sig, slightly modified.

Wit' a right, left, right left yer toothless
And then you say God damn they ruthless.
Every where we go they say "DAMN!"

I mean her butt
It's just so big
I can't believe it's so round
It's just out there

I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung

oh i just take as much as you can throw
and then throw it all away
oh i throw it all away
like throwing faces at the sky
like throwing arms round yesterday

[sins]

hehe... group got into deep shit when they released the song, killing an Aribe, cuz not everyone read The Stranger.

Strange, the view from here
Words we spoke, forgotten at the time
Now replay in my mind
What went wrong, what was right
Looking back, I never was there for you
You didn’t say, but I know it’s true

I can’t find the real world alone

Every time I think I’ve won I hear your voice inside, questioning
Where have you gone
Can’t you remember feeling so alone
You always had the anwer that I could not see

I can’t find the real world
I can’t find the real world
I can’t find the real world alone

[Z-Man]

Damn sins. I didn't know you liked stuff like this. Well, maybe I did.

I just need
Someone to take my hand
And pick me up when I'm feeling down
Someone to take my heart and give it a home
Someone to help me through
The times when I'm feeling down and lonely
Someone to be with me
When I'm alone
I'm alone

[sins]

i like whatever's deep and sounds good. :)

Demanding refunds for the things they've seen
I wish they could believe
In all the things that never made the screen
And just slow down everyone

You're moving like that
