Random Lyrics Part II

[paperjam1015]

Come on, Paperjam! Keep generating lyrics and movie lines and literary references for us to guess! I'm usually great at this stuff.

Ok, Weirdbrake....this thread is just for you!!!

And the category is randomly assorted 80's and 90's music....

1. Does she talk
The way I do
Is her voice reminding you
Of the promises
The little white lies too
Sometimes, tell me
While she's touching you
Just by mistake
Accidentally do you say my name?

2.
It's 10:15 on a Saturday night
and the tap drips under the striplight.
And I'm sitting in the kitchen sink and the taps drips. drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip

3.One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come, he to justify
One man to overthrow

4. Tell me why are we so blind to see that the ones we hurt are you and me?

[pisces2473]

1. Natalie Merchant--Jealousy
2. don't know

4. don't know

1. Jealousy - Natalie Merchant
2.I think it's Cure song...
3. In the Name of Love - U2
4. Gangsta's Paradise - Coolio


So I'm not WB, but I was hoping I could add my answers :)

How about some for you?

1. Hush, hush keep it down down

2. A Salvation Army Band played
And Children drunk lemonade
And the morning lasted all day,
All day
And through an open window came
Like Sinatra in a younger day,
Pushing the town away
Ah-

3.hopelessly drift in the eyes of the ghost again
down on my knees and my hands in the air again
pushing my face in the memory of you again
but i never know if it's real never know how i
wanted to feel

4. Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby

[paperjam1015]

Diesel - 3 1/2

...here's some more...

1. step out the front door like a ghost
Into the fog where no one notices
The contrast of white on white.
And in between the moon and you
The angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.

2. In this time of introspection
On the eve of my election
I say to my reflection
God please spare me more rejection
'cause my peers they criticize me
And my ex-wives all despise me
Try to put it all behind me
But my redneck past is nipping at my heels

3. I've given up, stop. i 've given up, stop.
I've given up, stop. on waiting any longer
I've given up, on this love getting stronger

[paperjam1015]

1. Voices Carry - Til' Tuesday
2. Life in a Northern Town - Dream Academy
Ha...THe song from Lion King always make me thing of this song...

1. we are young but getting old before our time
we'll leave the tv and the radio behind
get into a car and drive
to the other side

2. i had a picture
pinned to my wall
an image of you and of me
and we're laughing
we're loving it all

3. countdown it's getting near the flying time

to dance a bebop in the skies

[coll214]

and here are a few of mine; better late than never :p !!

1-You don't know how you met me
You don't know why
You can't turn around and say goodbye
All you know is when I'm with you, I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
I'm singin

2-Deaf dumb and thirty
Starting to deserve this
Leaning on my conscious wall
Blood is like wine
Unconscious all the time
If I had it all again
I'd change it all

3- i feel stupid - but i know it won't last for long
i've been guessing - i coulda been guessin' wrong
you don't know me now
i kinda thought that you should somehow

4- Why do you keep a coming around
Playing with my heart?
Why don't you get out of my life
And let me make a new start?
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me

5-Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know...
She tells herself, oh...
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along...
Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone

6-I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

7-Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
if you feel like letting go, (hold on)
when you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

if your colors were like my dreams
red, gold and green

i’ve traveled so far
