Lyrically Speaking # 3

Lying Eyes - Eagles

City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man
And she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style

Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is
Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice

Next: City

[Phalon]

from "Anna Molly" by Incubus (love the play on words in the title; it's sung "anomaly")

A cloud hangs over this city by the sea.
I watch the ships pass and wonder if she might be (might be)
Out there and sober as well from loneliness.
Please do persist girl, it's time we met and made a mess .

next word: made

[stepper]

Separate Ways - Journey

Troubled times
Caught between confusion and pain
Distant eyes
Promises we made were in vain

Next: Caught

[Phalon]

from "Numb" by Linkin Park

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

next word: tight(ly)

[Siren]

from "Put Your Head On My Shoulder" by Paul Anka, and later, Michael Buble'

Put your head on my shoulder
Hold me in your arms, baby
SQUEEZE me oh so TIGHT
Show me that you love me too.

next: squeeze

[Phalon]

from "Human" by Metallica

Don't you leave me, Father Time
Take me with you
Tell me, does your sun still shine?
Come squeeze the world and drip it down my throat again
Down my throat again.

Dance with My Father - Luther Vandross

Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around ‘til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end

Next: Dance

[Phalon]

Probably not enough coffee.

from "Intolerance" by Tool

Veil of virtue hung to hide your method
While I smile and laugh and dance and sing your praise and glory.
Shroud of virtue hung to mask your stigma as I smile and laugh and dance
and sing your glory,
while you lie, cheat, and steal...

Make Me Say Yes - Gloria Estefan

But hold up, what if you're the one
If you leave then I am done
And prince charming never comes

A broken heart will never heal
You know what

Broken ~ Seether
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high and steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn and no more left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broke when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

As long as you’ll be my friend at the end.

Make It Happen - Mariah Carey

And know what you want

And if you get down on your knees at night
And pray to the Lord
He's gonna make it happen
Make it happen

[Phalon]

from "Be Yourself" by Audioslave

Someone finds salvation in everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself

Someone swears his true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united
Healthy or insane

And to be yourself is all that you can do....

The indulgence of our lives has cast a shadow on our world.

It's just another way to die.

In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.

Next: Little

[Siren]

from "'Round Here" by Florida Georgia Line

The moon comes up and the sun goes down
We find a LITTLE SPOT on the edge of town
Twist off, sip a little, pass it around
Dance in the dust, turn the radio up
And that fireball whiskey whispers
Temptation in my ear
It’s a feelin’ alright Saturday night
And that’s how we do it ’round here
Yeah that’s how we do it ’round here

next: spot

[Phalon]

from "Down Below the Borderline" by Little Feat

A side shot from south of the border
Was a hot spot for all the fools from here to the corner
Looking for a square deal
A fair deal
She don't need a gun
She's an ultimatum
She can turn on a dime
She can turn on a dime
They're just fine darlin'
You can drop me anywhere there

next word: drop

Just drop off the key, Lee, and get yourself free
