Blood Brothers - Cecilia and the Silhouette Saloon

I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look
Through other people's eyes

KWSN 02-04-2004 12:43 PM

Butthole Surfers - Pepper (nice choice, Sticky)

new lyric:

Michigan! Ponshewaing! Cadillac!

Sticky 02-05-2004 01:59 PM

I may be out of luck on this one.

Anybody?

KWSN 02-06-2004 07:24 PM

i googled it myself. no luck. these are the exactl lyrics though... i guess i'll have to find someone who actually knows it.........

here's a hint, it's off one of the top albums on Pitchfork Media's top 50 of 2003, and the title of the song is the closest title on the album to the actual title OF the album.

KWSN 02-07-2004 02:53 PM

BUMP*** Can't let this die so I'll give it to you...

The last one was Sufjan Stevens - Say Yes! to M!ch!gan!

new lyric:

need more friends with wings
all the angels i know put concrete in my veins

Tophat665 02-07-2004 09:57 PM

Billy Talent - Nothing to Lose

I was born in a lighthouse. My mother was the sea.
I'd go to school each morning when it occurred to me
That life's just a mood ring you're not allowed to see
And this is what it said to me...

KWSN 02-08-2004 12:08 PM

They Might Be Giants - Absolutely Bill's Mood

You gotta have no illusions
Just keep goin' your way
Lookin' over your shoulder

Sticky 03-01-2004 11:10 AM

Joe Jackson - Look Sharp!

Next:
B double E double R-U-N beer run
B double E double R-U-N beer run
all we need is a ten and a fiver
a car and a key and a sober driver
B double E double R-U-N beer run

monody 03-02-2004 12:39 PM

garth brooks. beer run.

and you can place all blame on my roomate in university for my knowing that one. :\

If you want to know how
To fly high then go now
To the place where all the concubines...
Meet and converse with them
Marvel at their pale skin
Wonder how they chew on their pointy....

Tophat665 03-02-2004 07:07 PM

OK, that's David Bowie, Life on Mars.
The <a href="http://slicks.ulyssis.org/coverdb/song/546.html">Cover Songs Database</a> has 2, possibly three artists covering it, Scala, Mannix, and Jasper Steverlinck & Steven and Stijn Kolacny.

My turn:

You'll take my life but I'll take yours too.
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through.
So while you're waiting for the next attack,
you better stand. There's no turning back.
The bugle sounds the charge begins,
but on this battlefield no one wins.
The smell of acid, smoke, and horses' breath,
as we plunge on in toward certain death.
OOOOOOOOOH
OOOOOOOOOH

Sticky 03-02-2004 07:30 PM

<b>monody</b>, actually, you are wrong.

The Lyrics are from <a href="http://www.lyricsbox.com/todd-snider-lyrics-beer-run-4zxvzgd.html" target="new">Beer Run by Tom Snyder</a>

<a href="http://www.leoslyrics.com/listlyrics.php?hid=PqjJU3qZUz4%3D" target="new">Garth Brooks and George Jones</a> have a song that has completely different lyrics.

What happens now?

Oh, I created the thread, I guess it is my call.

ok, fine continue with <b>Tophat665</b>'s lyrics even though <b>monody</b> was completely wrong.

monody 03-05-2004 11:23 AM

oops- sorry. guess i was better at tuning out my roomie's music than i thought!

damn!

Sticky 03-08-2004 05:35 PM

The Trooper - Iron Maiden

Next:
Don't surround yourself with yourself,
Move on back two squares

Tophat665 03-08-2004 07:20 PM

Yes! Yes - 've Seen All Good People

There's a cheesy atom bomb explosion all the big groups use....

Atomic light will shine
through an old venitian blind
making patterens on your face
and the in cuts to outer space
with its billions and billions and billions and billions...

(Edited because it's the other Yes song with more or less that tune, and because I have fat, klutzy fingers.)

Captain Canada 03-15-2004 03:44 PM

Frank Zappa- Be In My Video

I heard nice guys finish last
But see this theory doesn't quite explain the reason I'm
Letting y'all rat racers leave the gate ahead of time
And still politely waiting for you at the finish line
Some people find it so amazing how I put a rhyme
Together and bring it to life like Dr. Frankenstein

Brian Warner 03-15-2004 08:13 PM

J live
don't play
I would have never known that.

Oh well.....

here's mine

It might be hard to search which is what I'm hoping.

Violence for the people
Give the kids what they need

JimmyDumbshit 03-15-2004 11:09 PM

next: "That's what you get for having
A penis up your ass"

Gray Ghost 03-16-2004 01:25 PM

lol

Hi Jimmy !

Tophat665 03-16-2004 04:48 PM

Oh, that's lovely :(
M.O.D. - A.I.D.S.

Striking out in a different direction we come to this lyric:

The artist knew their faces well
Husbands of his lady friends
his creditors and councellors
in armor bright the merchant men

Official moments of the guild
in poses keen from bygone days
city fathers frozen there
upon the canvas dark with age

The smell of paint, a flask of wine
And turn those faces all to me
The blunderbuss and halberd-shaft
And dutch respectability

They make their entrance one by one
Defenders of that way of life
The redbrick home, the bourgeoisie
Guitar lessons for the wife

(I give you so much so you won't need google, I hope.)

Sticky 03-16-2004 08:18 PM

I was close, but I needed google

King Crimson - The Night Watch

Next:
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well've been closed

Church 03-16-2004 08:43 PM

A Whiter Shade of Pale - Annie Lennox :D

Next one:

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Tophat665 03-17-2004 11:49 AM

Gary Jules - Mad World

Next:

<i>Pick me up at half past none -- there's not a moment to lose.
There is the train on which I came.
On the platform are my old shoes.
Station master rings his bell.
Whistles blow and flags wave.
A little of what you fancy does you good (Or so it should).
I thank everybody for making me welcome.
I'd stay but my wings have just dropped off.</i>

Jethro Tull - A passion Play


new Lyric:

I can't remember anything, can't tell if this is true or just a dream

mml 03-18-2004 10:23 AM

Metallica - One (My brother in law knew this one, not me)

new lyric:

Just try to see in the dark
Just try to make it work
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath
And wait until I shake

But if I had your faith
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream

Sticky 03-24-2004 04:55 PM

The Cure - Close to Me

Hockey Monkey by The Zambonis

The hot mama living above me
Always gets a rise from me
She's so soft in my hands
I give her all she can stand
Make a full fledged man outta me

Tophat665 03-25-2004 04:07 AM

Alice Cooper - Lace & Whiskey

<i>Given that true intellectual and emotional compatability
Are at the very least difficult
If not impossible to come by
We could always opt for the more temporal gratification
Of sheer physical attraction
That wouldn't make you a shallow person
Would it</i>

iamtheone 03-25-2004 07:44 AM

Here I AM - Lyle Lovett


Revolution, the only solution,
The armed response of an entire nation,
Revolution, the only solution,
We've taken all your shit, now it's time for restitution

Mac Davis, It's Hard to be Humble

"But her sense of taste is such that she'll distinguish with her tongue
The Subtleties a spectrogram would miss.
And announce her decision, while demanding her reward
A jelly-fish kiss."

kazoo 08-28-2004 10:30 PM

Brian Eno- The Fat Lady Of Limbourgh

"Lover don't betray me
if you hold our secrets close
you can always play with me"

Dan Reed - Make it easy (had to look it up)

Next Lyric:
Here I am
I'm the man on the scene
I can give you what you want
But you got to come home with me
I forgot some good old lovin'
And I got some more in store
When I get to throw it on you
You got to come back for more

monkeydriven 08-30-2004 06:05 AM

Otis Redding - Hard to Handle

Next Lyric:

sliding out of reverse into drive
this wheel will be turning right, then straight
off in the sunset she'll ride

rockogre 08-30-2004 10:16 AM

Pearl Jam - Many Fast cars

Try this one pups, from back in the day!

Goodbye, little Robin-Marie
Don't try following me
Don't cry, little Robin-Marie
'Cause you know I'm coming home soon

My ships' leaving on a three-year tour
The next tide will take us from shore
Windlaced, gather in sail and spray
On a search for the mighty sperm whale

Fly your willow branches
Wrap your body round my soul
Lay down your reeds and drums on my soft sheets
There are years behind us reaching
To the place where hearts are beating
And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet

Starbuck's sharpening his harpoon
The black man's playing his tune
An old salt's sleeping his watch away
He'll be drunk again before noon

Three years sailing on bended knee
We found no whales in the sea
Don't cry, little Robin-Marie
'Cause we'll be in sight of land soon
