The Lyrics Game

David Bowie- Running Gun Blues

 

i saw this band mentioned in another thread and shrieked with delight,

 

 

Hold your grandmother's Bible to your breast.

Gonna put it to the test.

You want it to be blessed. And in your heart, you know it to be true.

You know what you gotta do.

They all depend on you.

And you already know.

Yeah, you already know how this will end.

DeVotchka – How It Ends

 

I'm kinda lame, I first heard this when it was in the Gears of War 2 commercial. :D

 

as loud as hell

a ringing bell

behind my smile

it shakes my teeth

and all the while

as vampires feed

 

prithee, my dear,

why are we here

nobody knows

we go to sleep

as breathing flows

my mind secedes

 

there's a place

in the buried west

in a cave

with a house in it

in the clay

the holes of hands

you can place

a hand in hand

Ah once again, i almost forgot about this thread

 

The Pixies, Bleed (good choice...)

 

 

 

new lyrics-

 

some boy you are

to take me by the hand

through an elevator

got a little red line

that tells you, boy

where the razor's been

 

 

some boy you are are

to wear my color red

to wear it very proudly

and wear it like a lady

knows how to cross her legs

where the birdie's been

The song is I Bleed, so unfortunately Dr.G, Trebek does not approve of your answer. But I'll totally let it slide.

 

I KNOW that's a Tori song, but I have no idea what it's called. I know it as Track 2 from the Jackie's Strength single...

Bah.

I'll wait for MH to come and clear this up.

Alrighty, MH didn't step up on that one, it's Never Seen Blue- yes by Tori Amos

Here's a new one... shouldn't be so random for ya'lls this time.

 

You think you own me

You should have known me

You took the future and the food off my family's plate

You think you'll use me

I'm stronger than you

You take my money, but it's useless

When see what I do to you

Look what I do to you

 

Oh god then you awoke

You started screaming through the duct tape

Don't ever think I'm letting you go

I'm busy digging you a hole

Now you'll be living in a dirt room

Breathing through the straw of your own

Come on

I really think that this is fun for the money

I'll make it comfy for the time wasted making you rich

I want to cover you in ants, bees and honey

Then take a picture for the cover of our album!

Dr. GF, get back to us with that one...

 

He smiled so I got up and asked for his name

That don't matter, he said,

'Cause it's all the same

 

 

Dirt room- blue october was mine

 

also yours is...

 

Joan Jetts, ' I love Rock'n Roll'

 

also... HERE'S MOAR...

 

Well this is such

A sad affair

I've opened up my heart

So many times

But now it's closed

Oh my dear

Every salted tear

It wrings

Bitter - sweet applause

New lyrics:

 

I don't sleep motherfucker

off that yak and durban

doin' 120 gettin' head while I'm swervin'

haha!

 

Natalie Portman and The Lonley Island- Natalie's Rap (my fave!)

 

Here's one from my High School days-heard it on the radio today.

 

So give you ID card to the border guard

Your alias says you're Captain John Luc Picard

Of the United Federation of Planets

Cause they won't speak English any ways

Wow, another forgotten gem...

 

New lyrics:

 

Some balls are held for charity

And some for fancy dress

But when they're held for pleasure

They're the balls that I like best

My balls are always bouncing

To the left and to the right

It's my belief that my big balls

Should be held every night

AC/DC - Big Balls

 

The people asking questions to the people with the answers

The people with the answers ire the people with the questions

So the people with the questions asked the people with the answers

The people with the answers won't tell the people with the questions the answers

 

So the people with the questions they ask the people with the answers

But the people with the answers won't speak to them

Because the people with the answers give the people with the questions

just a little bit too hard a time to speak to

Aarty never identified this one by Dr. Chikins: Refreshments - Banditos

 

Someone found the future as a statue in a fountain

At attention, looking backward in a pool of water

Wishes with a blue songbird on his shoulder

Who keeps singing over everything

Elliot Smith - Everything Means Nothing to Me

 

This one is a lil' hard.

Hint: part of a cover song...

 

T.V. set jet stream, haul off until tomorrow.

Internet flat screen, what’s the message in your bottle?

She'll be comin' around the mountain,

when she comes full throttle

Battleaxe, let’s chop 'em down--that's the call of the wild.

There's no message in your bottle. Emptiness, it's just hollow.

Think the way to wake up is through sex, that's just shallow.

Tossing seeds into the wind producing loss and sorrow.

Dracula's on MTV sucking the blood from the marrow.

Hearts hardened like stone, want to be known like pharaoh.

Matishayu - Message In A Bottle

The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'

That's what I said

The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand

Or so I have read

 

My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo

I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo

 

Big Bottom - Spinal Tap { i am yet to see the movie in full }

 

 

Come on now, honey,

Bring it on, bring it on, yeah.

Just remember me when you're good to go

Come on now, sugar,

Bring it on, bring it on, yeah.

Just remember me when.

 

It's something I said, or someone I know.

Or you called me up, maybe I wasn't home.

Now everybody needs some time,

And everybody knows

The rest of it's fine

And everybody knows that.

I can't believe that we haven't played this game in over a year! Well, there's never a better time than the present to start it up again!

 

To reiterate the rules:

You guess the lyric, then post one of your own. 48hrs to move onto the next song if no one gets it...

 

Here we go:

 

Leggo my Eggo while I flex my ego

Step off my Seco, dressed up tuxedo

Sipping coffee, playing Keno in the casino
