Lyrically Speaking....

[Scrappy Amazon]

Adjusting my goddess-like magnitude in the hopes you'll be able to keep up with me? It won't work. Trust me.

[lolapunk]

Is that a rule? I had no idea...I've been playing by own rules for so long I don't even bother to check anymore.
Ok, forty...

[Scrappy Amazon]

Don't worry Ms. Punk. I only like to harrass Dixie. She's hardly ever here. Play how you like.

[Siren]

If you've got a Cadillac, boy,
And a FORTY room SHACK, boy
A bucket full of money
And a tree full of honey
But if you're gettin' no huggin'
No smoochin' or muggin'
Well, if you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'.

BTW, His Majesty George played here Friday night, sold out our largest venue, and put on one terrific show. At age 53, George is as gorgeous as ever, and has not lost one watt of his star power. Want a peak at him?

[Scrappy Amazon]

Mind if I jump in and ask a question Siren?

[Siren]

What's up, Scrappy?

And, btw, that should be a "peek" at George. It was late when I posted. *shrug*

[Scrappy Amazon]

If you don't mind I'm going to move my question over to the what song's stuck in your head thread....lol..say that 5 times fast.

Anyway...just so I don't hold up the game.

Alan Jackson - Home

In a small town down in Georgia over forty years ago
Her maiden name was Musik til she met that Jackson boy
They married young like folks did then, not a penny to their name
But they believe the one you vow to love
Should always stay that same

[lolapunk]

Here's a week attempt to include both songs...in a geographic sort of way. I took liberties initially but the guilt was overwhelming so I corrected. As President Bush once said, "There ought to be limits to freedom."

B-52's "Love Shack"

If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says
15 miles to the... Love Shack! Love Shack yeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway,
lookin' for the love getaway
Heading for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale
and we're headin' on down
To the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money


New word: getaway

[Siren]

Love that song, Lolie! The part about, "I've got me a Chrysler. It seats about 20," tickles me. The video is great fun, too. Next time you see it, watch for Rupaul in the dancing throng. Whatever happened to uh, her, anyway?

Here's some dreamy stuff...

~~~~~~~~~

Remembering when we first met
We had that adventure in our eyes
But something got away I guess
In the everyday of our lives

And I don't know what
Keeps us here
Let's disappear
And start all over again

We can run away
Baby come as you are
You can look at my heart
As your GETAWAY car
We can drive all night
It will be alright
Love can take us so far
In your getaway car

All we need is the open road
And more FUEL for the fire inside us
Steer us on to lands unknown
And we can leave this world behind

And all I know is you and me
That's all we'll need to
Start all over again

We can run away
Baby come as you are
You can look at my heart
As your getaway car
We can drive all night
It will be alright
Love can take us so far
In your getaway car

Turn up the radio
Don't look back again
Let me put the pedal down
Get us out of this town
Don't be afraid to run

Oh baby

We can run away
Baby come as you are
You can look at my heart
As your getaway car
We can drive all night
It will be alright
Love can take us so far
In your getaway car

Have I really stumped you guys with "fuel"? Want some help?

White Zombie strikes again. They are my fall-back; their songs containing very strange combinations of words. Only problem: I usually can't post the lyrics.

I'm so proud of myself for only taking a few minutes to place the line that was trying to play in my scrambled thoughts.

'Love Resurrection' Alison Moyet

What can I do to make light of this dull dull day
What switch can I pull to illuminate the way
Show me one direction
I will not question again
For a warm injection
Is all I need to calm the pain


new word: illuminate

[Siren]

Oooo, Alison Moyet. Hadn't thought about her in a long time, Lola. Remember "Invisible"? Good song.

But you've got me with "illuminate".

Anybody?

[lolapunk]

Give 'em time, Siren, I worry not. Alison? I'm impressed you know her. Whew, I love her voice, but I have to say I'm not into the Krallish stuf she's doing now. This summer she opened for Van Morrison at a couple of shows in Ireland, I think. Man, I just can't imagine...

[Scrappy Amazon]

HA! Thought you had me there for a sec....remebered pieces of this one today in between bouts of "We all live in a yellow submarine....." ACK!!!

Had to look up the full text....Interesting if not stalkerish song.

Daniel Bedingfield - All Your Attention

Don't want you looking at the stars tonight
I just want your eyes on me
I wanna be the only thing on your mind
I'll be all you need

Don't want you talking on the phone, don't go out
I just want you here with me
Don't want you spending time alone
Stay around, I'll be all you need

Can't you see you hold my heart in your hands
You own me, you own me
I need you to survive
I know I'm alive when you hold me
Hold me

Don't want to share you with the stars in the night
I only want you to only want me
Now, then and forever
I'm even jealous of the sun in your eyes
I want you looking at me, only me
I want all your attention

Forgive me if I seem to need you too much
You illuminate my soul
Don't think that I could breathe without your touch
You could never know

When I'm with you I've got nothing to hide
You know me, you know me
I need you to survive
I know I'm alive when you hold me
Hold me

Don't want to share you with the stars in the night
I only want you to only want me
Now, then and forever
I'm even jealous of the sun in your eyes
I want you looking at me, only me
I want all your attention

Can't you see you hold my heart in your hands
You own me, you own me
I need you to survive
I know I'm alive when you hold me
Hold me

Don't want to share you with the stars
Don't want the moon to touch your heart
I only want you to only want me
Now, then and forever

I'm even jealous of the sun in your eyes
I want you looking at me, only me
I want all your attention
1 want you looking at me, only me
I want all your attention

Ok cheesy easy....

soul

[lolapunk]

Scrap!! Thank you for choosing that word; I've waited for for-ev-rrrrrrrrr to post this song. Hmm probably close to the antithesis of the one you just posted. First time I saw this movie, I went right to the Xena scene where Gabrielle (or was it Areola, he and Herc were in this Prometheus ep) told a version of this story. This song encompasses all the gods of all the cultures; pretty cool, I'd say. I hope you read it; sorry for the length.

'Origin of Love' John Cameron Mitchell from 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch' soundtrack.

When the earth was still flat,
And the clouds made of fire,
And mountains stretched up to the sky,
Sometimes higher,
Folks roamed the earth
Like big rolling kegs.
They had two sets of arms.
They had two sets of legs.
They had two faces peering
Out of one giant head
So they could watch all around them
As they talked; while they read.
And they never knew nothing of love.
It was before the origin of love.

The origin of love

And there were three sexes then,
One that looked like two men
Glued up back to back,
Called the children of the sun.
And similar in shape and girth
Were the children of the earth.
They looked like two girls
Rolled up in one.
And the children of the moon
Were like a fork shoved on a spoon.
They were part sun, part earth
Part daughter, part son.

The origin of love

Now the gods grew quite scared
Of our strength and defiance
And Thor said,
"I'm gonna kill them all
With my hammer,
Like I killed the giants."
And Zeus said, "No,
You better let me
Use my lightening, like scissors,
Like I cut the legs off the whales
And dinosaurs into lizards."
Then he grabbed up some bolts
And he let out a laugh,
Said, "I'll split them right down the middle.
Gonna cut them right up in half."
And then storm clouds gathered above
Into great balls of fire

And then fire shot down
From the sky in bolts
Like shining blades
Of a knife.
And it ripped
Right through the flesh
Of the children of the sun
And the moon
And the earth.
And some Indian god
Sewed the wound up into a hole,
Pulled it round to our belly
To remind us of the price we pay.
And Osiris and the gods of the Nile
Gathered up a big storm
To blow a hurricane,
To scatter us away,
In a flood of wind and rain,
And a sea of tidal waves,
To wash us all away,
And if we don't behave
They'll cut us down again
And we'll be hopping round on one foot
And looking through one eye.

Last time I saw you
We had just split in two.
You were looking at me.
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar,
But I could not recognize,
Cause you had blood on your face;
I had blood in my eyes.
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine.
That's the pain,
Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart;
We called it love.
So we wrapped our arms around each other,
Trying to shove ourselves back together.
We were making love,
Making love.
It was a cold dark evening,
Such a long time ago,
When by the mighty hand of Jove,
It was the sad story
How we became
Lonely two-legged creatures,
It's the story of
The origin of love.
That's the origin of love.


Oh but which word to choose for the next, lots of good ones in here... HAMMER

[Phalon]

Never heard the song, but cool lyrics, Lola. (And yes, I read the entire way through).

But Argh! This one will be stuck in my head for days. A little game that Hubs has played with LX since she was wee little. "I'd rather be a (fill in the blank), than a (fill in the blank)." They can do this for hours it seems, each verse getting more ridiculous than the next. It of course comes from a song by Simon and Garfunkel - though I'm not actually sure about that.

"I'd rather be a hammer than a nail.
Oh, yes I would.
If I only could."

nail

[Siren]

What a story that paints, Lola! Man. Loved that part about the bellybutton. I know, all that rich imagery, spectacle and angst, and I fixate on the bellybutton. Sorry!

Several "nail" songs come to mind. But how about one by sweet Suzy Bogguss?

NAIL and hammer, hammer and nail
I need a LIFEBOAT that's set to sail
Across this ocean of tears I've cried
The time has come to turn the tide

Thread and needle, needle and thread
I need a sail made of crimson red
I wanna be seen from miles away
I'm lost at sea and I wanna be saved

Blow wind blow and set me free
A storm called love made a wreck of me
I'm tossed and turned, I'm in the dark
All my dreams lie torn apart
At the bottom of my deep blue heart

Pen and paper, paper and pen
I need a bottle to put a message in
And I hope it won't sink to the ocean floor
I'm still a far cry from the shore

Blow wind blow and set me free
A storm called love made a wreck of me
I'm tossed and turned, I'm in the dark
All my dreams lie torn apart
At the bottom of my deep blue heart

And speaking of Suzy, I got my hair cut yesterday, very much like Suzy's on this cover:



Gaggie, I know you wanted me to leave it long. But I just couldn't stand it any more!!

[Gabbin]

Argggg! Ah, well, it's a cute cut. I just hope you don't change your last name, too. Siren Bogguss.

[Siren]

Here's a little help with my stumper, "lifeboat" -

Take me in your lifeboat, oh
Take me in your lifeboat
It will stand the raging storm
Take me in your lifeboat, oh
Take me in your lifeboat
It will bear my SPIRIT home.

I hate this song. But it fits.

Johnny’s daddy was taking him FISHING
When he was eight years old
A little girl came through the front gate
Holding a fishing pole
His dad looked down and smiled,
Said we can’t leave her behind
Son I know you don’t want her to go
But someday you’ll change your mind
And Johnny said take Jimmy Johnson
Take TOMMY Thompson
Take my best friend Bo
Take anybody that you want
As long as she don’t go
Take any boy in the world
Daddy please don’t take the girl

Pink Floyd - The Trial

Good morning, Worm your honor.
The crown will plainly show
The prisoner who now stands before you
Was caught red-handed showing feelings
Showing feelings of an almost human nature;
This will not do.
Call the schoolmaster!

I always said he'd come to no good
In the end your honor.
If they'd let me have my way I could
Have flayed him into shape.
But my hands were tied,
The bleeding hearts and artists
Let him get away with murder.
Let me hammer him today?

Crazy,
Toys in the attic I am crazy,
Truly gone fishing.
They must have taken my marbles away.
Crazy, toys in the attic he is crazy.

You little shit you're in it now,
I hope they throw away the key.
You should have talked to me more often
Than you did, but no! You had to go
Your own way, have you broken any
Homes up lately?
Just five minutes, Worm your honor,
Him and Me, alone.

Baaaaaaaaaabe!
Come to mother baby, let me hold you
In my arms.
M'lud I never wanted him to
Get in any trouble.
Why'd he ever have to leave me?
Worm, your honor, let me take him home.

Crazy,
Over the rainbow, I am crazy,
Bars in the window.
There must have been a door there in the wall
When I came in.
Crazy, over the rainbow, he is crazy.

The evidence before the court is
Incontrivertable, there's no need for
The jury to retire.
In all my years of judging
I have never heard before
Of someone more deserving
Of the full penaltie of law.
The way you made them suffer,
Your exquisite wife and mother,
Fills me with the urge to defecate!

"Hey Judge! Shit on him!"
Since, my friend, you have revealed your
Deepest fear,
I sentence you to be exposed before
Your peers.
Tear down the wall!

Truly

[xenavirgin]

Heh heh, my chance to go from the sublime (well I guess someone might describe Pink Floyd that way) to the ridiculous.

I love the film Chitty Bang Bang so here goes.

Toot sweets sound like what they are
So do lollys in a lollypop jar
Gingerbread men have a gingerbread sound, we've found
Sugar plum cinnamon and lemon tart tell you what they are right from the
start
And your name does the same for you
By coincidence, Truly Scrumptious
You're truly truly scrumptious
Scrumptious as a cherry peach parfait
When your near us
It's so delicious
Honest Truly, you're the answer to our wishes
Truly Scrumptious
Though we may seem presumptuous
Never, never, ever go away
Our hearts beat so unruly
Because we love you truly
Honest Truly, we do
Truly scrumptious
You two are truly scrumptious
Scrumptious as the breeze across the bay
When you're smiling
It's so delicious
So beguiling
You're the answer to my wishes
Truly scrumptious
You two are truly scrumptious
And I shan't forget this lovely day
My heart beats so unruly
I also love you truly
Honest truly, I do

So heheh, try this word.

Scrumptious ;D

From my all time favorite absolutely fabulous musical....I could see this everday and die happy.....

Stephen Sondheim - Hello Little Girl

Into The Woods

WOLF:
Mmmh… Unhh…
Look at that flesh,
Pink and plump.
Hello, little girl…
Tender and fresh,
Not one lump.
Hello, little girl…
This one's especially lush,
Delicious… Mmmh…
Hello, little girl,
What's your rush?
You're missing all the flowers.
The sun won't set for hours,
Take your time.

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD:
Mother said,
"Straight ahead,"
Not to delay
Or be mislead.

W:
But slow, little girl,
Hark! And hush —
The birds are singing sweetly.
You'll miss the birds completely.
You're traveling so fleetly.
Grandmother first, then Miss Plump…
What a delectable couple
Utter perfection
One brittle, one supple —
One moment, my dear — !

LRRH:
Mother said,
"Come what may,
Follow the path
And never stray."

W:
Just so, little girl —
Any path.
So many worth exploring.
Just one would be so boring.
And look what you're ignoring…
Think of those crisp,
Ageing bones,
Then something fresh on the palate.
Think of that scrumptious carnality
Twice in one day — !
There's no possible way
To describe how what you feel
When you're talking to your meal!

LRRH:
Mother said
Not to stray.
Still, I suppose,
A small delay…
Granny might like a fresh bouquet…
(Spoken) Goodbye, Mr. Wolf

W:
Goodbye, little girl.
And hello… (Howls)

Ha thought you had us didn't you...pfft....

A Dog’s Life

If I had my life to live over
I know just what I’d like to be
A pampered pet of a rich brunette
Sitting on my mama’s knee
Someone to love me
Someone to care
Rubberduck dubble little fingers through my hair
I need a dog’s life
What a life, that’s good enough for me
That’s good enough for me

If I had a bone to be picking
A picking chicken or a steak
Curled up there in an easy chair
Man, that won’t be hard to take
I’ll always be faithful
That’s what I’d be
Never bite a hand that feeds me, no siree
Just lead a dog’s life
What a life
That’s good enough for me
That’s good enough for me

I’d find me a pink little poodle
And lose my noodle over her
I chase her ’round all over town
Just to ruffle up her fur
Nuzzle her muzzle
A hole in her paw
Greatest case of puppy lovin’ you ever saw
It’s called a dog’s life
What a life
That’s good enough for me
You heard me say it now
That’s good enough for me
That’s good enough for me

little

took the easy out...lmao

[Siren]

Good lord. If that's not a great example of the crap Elvis had to record, and how his talent was wasted, I don't know what is. But Elvis was so good, he made lyrics like those palatable.

Okay...

Give a LITTLE love
A squeeze and a little kiss
Give a little hug
Mmm, I want some more of this
Take a little time
Yeah, make a little fuss
That’s what a woman wants
So give a little love

You can be some big hunk
Handsome, dark and tall
Talk to me in foreign TONGUES
Or with a southern drawl
Or be a man from old Siam
Wear a pointed hat
I don’t care how you look
’Cause that ain’t where it’s at
