Lyrically Speaking.... No. 2

[Siren]

from "It Must Have Been The Mistletoe" by Barbara Mandrell



Another wonderfully romantic holiday tune. Streisand has a new version of it.

It must have been the MISTLETOE
The lazy fire, the falling snow
The MAGIC in the frosty air
That feeling everywhere

It must have been the pretty lights
That glistened in the silent night
It may be just the stars so bright
That shined above you

Our first Christmas
More than we'd be dreaming of
Ah, Saint Nicholas had his fingers crossed
That we would fall in love

It could have been the holiday
The midnight ride upon sleigh
The countryside all dressed in white
The crazy snowball fight

It could have been the steeple bell
That wrapped us up in its spell
It only took one kiss to know
It must have been the mistletoe

Our first Christmas more than we'd be dreaming of
Ah, St. Nicholas
Must have know that kiss
Would lead to all of this

It must have been the mistletoe
The lazy fire, the falling snow
The magic in the frosty air
That made me love you

On Christmas Eve our wish came true
That I would fall in love with you
It only took one kiss to know
It must have been the mistletoe

NEXT: MAGIC

Frosty the Snowman

Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairytale they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day
There must have been some MAGIC
In that old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around

In honor of Joxie having a Christmas Eve snowfall, the next word is:
Snow

[Siren]

from "Another Auld Lang Syne" by Dan Fogelberg

Met my old lover in the grocery STORE
The SNOW was falling Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve

I Want to Learn to Waltz with You ~ Continental Drifters

Business as usual usually goes
All the way always and never means no
You shoot past the mountains on en route to the STORE
There's no time, no windows for us anymore
Once there were hours of just sitting still
And there will be, there will be
Starting right now there is this I must do
I want to learn to waltz with you
I want to learn to waltz.

Next: waltz

[Phalon]

from "The Last Waltz" by The Band

She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
Holding a lantern light
Waitin' for a man who's a riverboat gambler
He said he'd return tonight

They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi


next word: Mississippi

[Siren]

fron "One, Mississippi" by Jill King (a stupendous honkytonk singer)

One Mississippi, two Mississippi, THREE MISSISSIPPI
Knocking on my door
Five Mississippi,six Mississippi,seven Mississippi
Can't wait no more

next: three

[Phalon]

This is going to be stuck in my head all day...

from "Three is a Magic Number" - Schoolhouse Rock

A man and a woman had a little baby,
Yes, they did.
They had three in the family,
And that's a magic number.

next word: number

[Siren]

I, too, remember some of those "Schoolhouse Rock" songs, Gams. They should use them in schools. Several of them have stuck with me after all these years.

from "Matches" by Sammy Kershaw

We met at The Broken Spoke Restaurant and Lounge
I lit your CIGARETTE, then you wrote your NUMBER down
On the inside of a matchbook that was lying on the bar
And a fire started burning somewhere in my heart

next: cigarette

Mama Told Me Not to Come ~ Three Dog Night

Want some whiskey in your water
Sugar in your tea
What's all these crazy questions they askin' me
This is the craziest party there could ever be
Don't turn on the lights, 'cause I don't want to see

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, no

Open up the window
Let some air into this room
I think I'm almost chokin'
From the smell of stale perfume

And that CIGARETTE you're smoking
'Bout scared me half to death
Open up the window, sucker
Let me catch my breath

Next: Stale

[Phalon]

from "A Better Me" by Adhesive

The stale taste of banality makes sense, yes that is true
As I find myself believing I'm much better than all of you
It's a great lack of tolerance nurtured by you and me
And it stands as a monument over failed attempts to bring unity

next word: attempt(s)

[stepper]

Sorry - but I had to Google this one - and the other choice was Eminem

Reptar, King Of The Ozone ~ The Devil Wears Prada

Bring it to your lips and experience the sulfur infect everything that we've created.
Don't twist this around.
Don't ATTEMPT to justify what we know is wrong.
Tendons are torn and screams are released into a poisoned, mathematic atmosphere.

Lips Of An Angel ~ Hinder

It's really good to hear your voice saying my name

Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

I'll Be By ~ Hall and Oates

And if you're waitin' at the HOUSE where I should be

And if the door is shut the lock is open free

There is no compromise, your bringing forth your sacrifice

[fallenangel]

Sooner Or Later~ Breaking Benjamin

I want a normal life
Just like a newborn child
I am a lover hater
I am an instigator
You are an oversight
Don't try to compromise
I learn to love to hate it
I am not integrated

Just call my name
You'll be okay
Your scream is
Burning through my veins

next word : SCREAM

[Phalon]

from "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden

In my eyes, indisposed
In disguise as no one knows
Hides the face, lies the snake
The sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat, summer stench
'Neath the black the sky looks dead
Call my name through the cream
And I'll hear you scream again

next word: heat

[Siren]

from "All Roads Lead To You" by Steve Wariner

Blacktop's burning, HEAT WAVES rise
Pick up my shovel, put my back to the grind
Got another job at Flagstaff
And this one's paved

I work the freeway; the pay's all right
But I can't get you off my mind
'Cause every stretch of highway ends the same

All roads lead to you
I thought I could forget but it's no use
Your memory is there
Wherever I go, whatever I do
All roads lead to you

next: waves

[Phalon]

I'm digging out my grave
They close in, swallowing me
The pain, it comes in waves
I'm getting back what I gave

[Siren]

from "Chicks Dig It" - Chris Cagle

Scars heal, glory fades
And all we're left with are the memories made
Pain hurts, but only for a minute
Yeah life is SHORT, so go on and live it
'Cause the chicks DIG it

next: short

[Phalon]

from "Seasons" by Chris Cornell

If I should be short on words
And long on things to say
Could you crawl into my world
And take me worlds away
Should I be beside myself
And not even stay

[Siren]

from "Those Words We Said" by Kim Richey

I left you with nothing
But a few tears in my eyes
Now I'm halfway down the Interstate
Past Highway 99
It's just me and one good wiper blade
Up against the rain.

And I still hear the echoes
Of those bitter words we said
And I could drive a million miles
And never DRIVE them from my head.
Those WORDS we said

next: drive

[Phalon]

Oh, oh, oh - a chance to use a song with some of my favorite lyrics.



from "Drive" by Incubus

So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
It's driven me before
And it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around
But lately I'm beginning to find that
When I drive myself my light is found

next word: wine

[Siren]

from "Merry Christmas (Wherever In The World You Are)" by Terri Clark

I'm only putting red on my Christmas tree,
It's a holiday I'll celebrate with my own company
Pour the WINE, I'll be fine
Climb the ladder and PLACE the star
Well, Merry Christmas wherever in the world you are

next: place

[Phalon]

from "Stand Up" by Trapt

Stand up
I have had enough
Walk away before I finish what you started
Face to face I will put you in your place
End this game before I finish what you started
Face to face everything will change

next word: game

[Siren]

from "It's All In The Game" by Tommy Edwards

Many a tear has to fall
But it's all in the GAME
All in the wonderful game
That we know as love
You have words with him
And your FUTURE's looking dim
But these things
Your hearts can rise above

next: future

[Phalon]

from "Another Way To Die" by Disturbed

There can be another reason why.
You know we should have seen it coming.
Consequences we cannot deny will be revealed in time.
Glaciers melt as we pollute the sky.
A sign of devastation coming.
We don’t need another way to die.
Can we repent in time?

The Time bomb is ticking and no one is listening.
Our future is fading.
Is there any hope we’ll survive?

next word: melt

[Siren]

from "I Melt" by Rascal Flatts

I MELT every time you look at me that way
It never fails, anytime, any place
This burn in me is the COOLest thing I've ever felt
I melt

Cool Change - Little River Band

If there's one thing in my life that's missing
It's the time I spend *alone*
Sailing on the *COOL* and bright clear waters
There's lots of those friendly people
Showin me ways to go
And I never want to lose their inspiration

Next: alone

[Phalon]

from "Broken Pieces" by Apocalyptica


Too late, this is not the answer
I need to pack it in
I can't pull your heart together,
With just my voice alone.
