Sorry Curtains, it's movin' on time.

 

I'v ebeen listening to this song and others by the same artist like crazy the past very days.

 

There was a checkpoint Charlie

He didn't crack a smile

But it's no laughing party

When you've been on the murder mile

Only takes one itchy trigger

One more widow, one less white nigger

I keep your picture upon the wall.

It hides a nasty stain that's lying there.

So don't you ask me to give it back.

I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me.

Nothing to do with the game, but at the time of writing Metal Heart's away message on Aim was

 

"So you can me cum, that doesn't make you Jesus."

 

A line from Shania Twain's "That Don't Impress Me Much" if I'm not mistaken, who'd have thunk it.

OK, that one was too hard...

 

 

You know that chick that used to dance a lot

Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got

Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot

I mean she was steaming

And that time over at Johnny's place

Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face

Man we just fell about the place

If that chick don't want to know, forget her

"The boys are back in town" by something something. This thread will double as "which song is in your head" once its deciphered by jax.

 

Jocko says "Yes," and I believe him,

When we talk about the things I say,

She hasn’t got the faith or the guts to leave him,

When they’re standing in each other’s way...

You’re tripping back now to places you’ve been to,

You wonder what you’re gonna find;

You know you’ve been wrong but it won’t be long

Before you leave ‘em all far behind...

You really getting into your Guess Who, son! That's the seamless transition verse that binds together the double-whammy song No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature.

 

Most of the cast that you meet on the streets speak of true love,

Most of the time theyre sittin and cryin at home.

One of these days they know they better get goin

Out of the door and down on the streets all alone.

I didn't know that was sting. It's from the song Money For Nothing by the Dire Straits, but I never knew it was Sting....

 

Skynyrd wrote that line in Sweet Home Alabama in reaction to Young's song Southern Man. Here are the lyrics in full:

Southern man

better keep your head

Don't forget

what your good book said

Southern change

gonna come at last

Now your crosses

are burning fast

Southern man

 

I saw cotton

and I saw black

Tall white mansions

and little shacks.

Southern man

when will you

pay them back?

I heard screamin'

and bullwhips cracking

How long? How long?

 

Southern man

better keep your head

Don't forget

what your good book said

Southern change

gonna come at last

Now your crosses

are burning fast

Southern man

 

Lily Belle,

your hair is golden brown

I've seen your black man

comin' round

Swear by God

I'm gonna cut him down!

I heard screamin'

and bullwhips cracking

How long? How long?

Now, does this call to end racism, segregation, economic subjegation and lynching enrage you the same way it did Skynyrd?

god yes, those things are as american as apple pie. i also lean towards skynyrd sounding awesome, and Young not so much, to me anyway.

 

Yeah, i read that Sting was literally in the next studio or so over, heard them practicing and offered to jump in; i dont think anyone was gonna refuse such a request in the early 80's. Listen to the track sometime (its a great song), once you realize its him, you cant miss it again.
