Hi everyone the last one no longer appears in recent posts...

Many know how to play, they isn't rules as such just post a song lyric that follows on from the previous one.
Feel free to have a natter along the way, artist is optional although helpful if a little obscure all I ask is you play nice Xx

The first poster has free choice for an opening song lyric of this 'new' thread.

The Indians send signals from the rocks above the pass
The cowboys take position in the bushes and the grass
The squaw is with the corporal, she is tied against the tree
She doesn't mind the language, it's the beating she don't need
She lets loose all the horses when the corporal is asleep
And he wakes to find the fire's dead and arrows in his hat
And Davy Crockett rides around and says it's cool for cats
It's cool for cats (cool for cats)

The Sweeney's doing ninety 'cause they've got the word to go
They get a gang of villains in a shed up at Heathrow
They're counting out the fivers when the handcuffs lock again
In and out of Wandsworth with the numbers on their names
It's funny how their missus always look the bleeding same
And meanwhile at the station there's a couple of likely lads
Who swear like, "How's your father?" and they're very cool for cats
They're cool for cats (cool for cats)

On the bank of the river stood Running Bear, young Indian brave
On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid
Little White Dove was her name, such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other, so their love could never be

Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die

I hope you understand
That I have to send you away
You may not understand
But I know that you will one day

You're broken, I know this
And if you knew it
You would love me a whole different way

But that's how love goes, goes
That's how love goes, goes, goes, goes
That's how love goes

Broken glass
Broken phone
Broken English
Broken home
Broken deeper than I've been before

And all I want is more
And you have no idea
It shouldn't hurt so much
Giving up your love
Thinking I'm so tough
But look at me messed up
It shouldn't hurt so much
Giving up your love

Broken sleep
Broken voice
Three days sliding under
Broken boy
Broken into pieces I've never seen before

And all I want is more
And you have no idea
It shouldn't hurt so much....

Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds and marks
Any heart
Not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts
Ooh, ooh, love hurts

Nazareth

[Arksided]

Love don't give no compensation
Love don't pay no bills
Love don't give no indication
Love just won't stand still

Love kills, drills you through your heart
Love kills, scars you from the start
It's just a living pastime
Ruining your heartline
Stays for a lifetime won't let you go
Cause love (love) love (love) love won't leave you alone

And what have you got
At the end of the day?
What have you got
To take away?
A bottle of whisky
And a new set of lies
Blinds on a window
And a pain behind the eyes

Scarred for life
No compensation
Private investigations

As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced me pistol and I've then produced me rapier
saying stand and deliver for you are a bold deciever

Musha ring dooram doo dooram da,
whack fol my daddy o
whack fol my daddy o
there's whisky in the jar

The Dubliners

Money, get away
You get a good job with more pay and you're OK
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash

New car, caviar, four-star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team

Money, get back
I'm alright, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack
Money, it's a hit
Ah, don't give me that do-goody-good bullshi...

Pink Floyd

[1ozzy]

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged

[Hazlinny]

I'm going back
Not just sitting, walking away
Yes, I'm going back
Going back to my youth
Come on, catch me because I'm going back
I'm going back

Sittin' in the morning sun

I'll be sittin' when the evening comes

Watching the ships roll in

Then i watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

Otis Redding

[maggiebee]

I'm wasting time thinking about a girl
And stealing her away from her world
She and I would run away
I think of all the things that I'd say
We'd talk about important things
And I picture it in my dreams
She'd teach me about modern art
And I'd show her it's okay to f***

Blink-182

[Arksided]

I know when to go out
Know when to stay in
Get things done

I catch a paper boy
But things don't really change
I'm standing in the wind
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try, I try
There's no sign of life
It's just the power to charm
I'm lying in the rain
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try, I try
Never gonna fall for

walks beside me
(Modern love) walks on by
(Modern love) gets me to the church on time
(Church on time) terrifies me
(Church on time) makes me party
(Church on time) puts my trust in God and man
(God and man) no confession
(God and man) no religion
(God and man) don't believe in modern love

Bowie

[Hazlinny]

I’m just a modern girl
Trying to get along in a modern world (woh, woh)
I’m just a modern girl
Trying to work it out in a modern world

I know, you know, we’re held in high esteem
But baby, you’ll see that things aren’t what they seem
And I’ve been lying on my side, but lately on my own
Cos everything I touch is made of stone

Sing-Sing

[Arksided]

If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me

All the things
That we've been through
You should understand me
Like I understand you
Now girl I know the difference
Between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing
To break up our happy home
Don't get so excited
When I come home
A little late at night
'Cos we only act like children

Simply Red

[Hazlinny]

You'll never know me sober
I'll be your supernova
And when the night is over
I'll disappear like I was never here
I'll lie to everybody
I'll never love, l'm sorry
It's only fear that stops me
Now we're over
You'll never know me sober

[maggiebee]

I'm praying for rain in California
So the grapes can grow and they can make more wine
And I'm sitting in a honky in Chicago
With a broken heart and a woman on my mind

I matched the man behind the bar for the jukebox
And the music takes me back to Tennessee
And they asked who's the fool in the corner crying
I say a little ole wine drinker me

Dean Martin

[Hazlinny]

 

Well, when I was a young man and never been kissed
I got to thinkin' it over how much I had missed
So I got me a girl and I kissed her and then, and then
Oh, Lord, well I kissed her again

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
She had, mm-mm, kisses sweeter than wine
(Sweeter than wine)

Jimmie Rodgers

Come landlord fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over.
Come landlord fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over.
For tonight we'll merry, merry be,
For tonight we'll merry, merry be,
For tonight we'll merry, merry be,
Tomorrow we'll be sober.

The man drinks water pure and goes to bed right sober.
The man drinks water pure and goes to bed right sober.
Falls as the leaves do fall,
Falls as the leaves do fall,
Falls as the leaves do fall
So early in October.

Here's to the man who drinks the whiskey clear and goes to bed quite mellow.
Here's to the man who drinks the whiskey clear and goes to bed quite mellow.
Lives as he ought to live,
Lives as he ought to live,
Lives as he ought to live
And dies a jolly good fellow.

Here's to the lad who kisses a pretty girl and runs to tell his mother.
Here's to the lad who kisses a pretty girl and runs to tell his mother.
Ought to have his lips cut off,
Ought to have his lips cut off,
Ought to have his lips cut off
And never kiss another.....
