the lyric guessing game!

[Buckeye]

Welcome back CJ.

I had to Google that last one of yours so I'll wait and see if anyone else wants to play.

 

[_CJ_]

Thanks. Well, good luck!I had to google a bunch back there myself..

 

[Gimpy]

D:...
I'm not very good at this game
lol

LOL

 

[Buckeye]

OK CJ, it doesn't look like anyone else wants to play.

I think your last one is Late Goodbye by Poets of the Fall.

Never heard of them, are they any good?

Here's one for someone:

If I lose my way
And I wander down this open road for days
And if the sun should fall
And the dancing we once did becomes a crawl
Let the memories move like shadows on the wall
If I lose my way.

 

[SparkyMaddie]

can i have a hint?

 

[_CJ_]

Hi and you're welcome, Sparks_will_fly!

Do the net search if you can't figure it out on your own!I always do that.
& it works.

I'm actually about to do just the thing.

Buckeye, I don't really know if Poets are any good. I just heard 'Late Goodbye' as the ending credit theme in the game Max Payne 2. Besides that, I don't know anything about them. They're from Finland, and the game crew is from Finland as well so it might have been something like 'hey man, myabe you could use our song in your game? 'sure, man, we bros, not?'

 

[Buckeye]

OK, I'm going to bring this thread back from the dead and see if we can get another round going.

My last offering was When All is Said and Done by Tyrone Wells:

When all is said and done
And I’m looking back upon this race I’ve run
And when my heart gives in.
I know you will be beside me precious friend
It’s just the same from the beginning to the end
When all is said and done.

If I lose my way
And I wander down this open road for days
And if the sun should fall
And the dancing we once did becomes a crawl
Let the memories move like shadows on the wall
If I lose my way.

When I’m coming home
And I walk across the bridge of death alone
I will fix my eyes
On the One that’s waiting on the other side
It’s my old friend with countless others there beside
When I’m coming home

Here's what is up next for consideration. Song title and artist please: (should be an easy one)

Endless juke joints and valentino drag
where dancers scraped the tears
Up off the street dressed down in rags
running into the darkness
Some hurt bad some really dying
at night sometimes it seemed
You could hear the whole damn city crying
blame it on the lies that killed us
Blame it on the truth that ran us down
you can blame it all on me Terry
It dont matter to me now
when the breakdown hit at midnight
There was nothing left to say
but I hated him and I hated you when you went away

Backstreets - Springsteen

here's mine:

Sing us a song,
a song to keep us warm,
there's such a chill, such a chill.

And you can laugh a spineless laugh,
we hope your rules and wisdom choke you.

Exit Music - for a film
RADIOHEAD!!!!

I only discovered them recently but I know that album really well now.

Ok here's mine:

It's a mystery to me
The game commences
For the usual fee
Plus expenses
Confidential information
It's in a diary
This is my investigation
It's not a public inquiry

 

[Buckeye]

Private Investigations--Dire Straits

I actually did not have to use Google on that one.

Next:

Seems like only yesterday
We would sit and talk of dreams all night
Dreams of youth
And simple truths
Now we're so involved
So involved with life

I Think I'm Going Bald- Rush

Here it is...

Golden rod and the 4-H stone
The things I brought you
When I found out you had cancer of the bone

Your father cried on the telephone
And he drove his car to the Navy yard
Just to prove that he was sorry

In the morning through the window shade
When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade
I could see what you were reading

Oh the glory that the lord has made
And the complications you could do without
When I kissed you on the mouth

Casimir Pulaski Day by Sufjan Stevens (google assist...)

When I was clicking on the thread, I was thinking "I should post some Sufjan lyrics..." Strange.

next...

In a zippo lighter you see the killer's face
Maybe it's someone standing in the killers place
Twenty Years for nothing well that nothing new
Besides no one is interested in something you didn't do

Artist:Tragically hip Song:Wheat Kings


_-_-_-_-_

I close my eyes
I’m waiting just to dream
A small escape
From this harsh reality
I’m waiting for
A taste of Honesty
Cause when it’s real
That’s all I’ll ever need
I fall to my knees
Is it you or the drugs I see
You’re standing right in front of me
I haven’t seen you in weeks
You’re standing right in front of me
I don’t recognize the girl that I see.

A Permenant Holiday, A Taste of Honesty

I'll serve up an easy one...

You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt

 

[Buckeye]

One--U2

Here you go:

They burned the churches up in Harlem-
Like in that Spanish Civil War-
The flames were everywhere,
But no one really cared-
It always burned up there before....

 

[AFallingStar]

"Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out On Broadway)"-Billy Joel

Next one:

For the life of me,
I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me,
I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins

 

[Buckeye]

The Freshman--Verve Pipe

Easy one here:

I've got your picture of me and you
You wrote "I love you" I wrote "me too"
I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do
Oh it's in color Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around

 

[pbft87]

Turning Japanese!

So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold

 

[AFallingStar]

"Move Along"-the All-American Rejects

Next one:

I will paint my picture
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful
Gray is my favorite color
I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I knew Picasso
I would buy myself a gray guitar and play

 

[Buckeye]

Mr. Jones--Counting Crows

Next:

Do you remember lying in bed
With your covers pulled up over your head?
Radio playin' so no one can see
We need change , we need it fast
Before rock's just part of the past
'Cause lately it all sounds the same to me
