Simple game. Someone posts the lyrics to one song, then people try to figure out what song they came from (Be careful with cover versions! Any cover is valid, as long as the lyrics in question are the same.) Person who gets the lyrics right posts the next lyrics. And so on. If the person whose turn it is to post the lyrics has not posted them in an hour or so, then the field is open for a new person to go, and so on...

Oh, and no cheating! You can't Google the lyrics! But you can, however, Google the title of a song you believe is the answer.

We'll start off rather easily (in my mind):

I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies

Come Sail Away - Styx

Next entry:

Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched and went our [name of song]

Separate Ways - Journey

Next:

Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines in my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dusk to dawn

That's easy, it's Aerosmith with Dream On

Here's the next entry

Been away so long I hardly knew the place,
Gee, it's good to be back home.
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case,
Honey, disconnect the phone...

Ah, that's Back in the USSR by The Beatles.

Here's another gimme:

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher, leave them kids alone

LoL That is a gimme

Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall

Here's next

See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the lights flashing out are so bright
Then walk right out to the fourline track
There's a camera rolling on her back on her back
And I sense the rhythms humming in a frenzy
All the way down her spine

Oh jeez, I know that one's by Duran Duran, but I don't remember the name of the song! Argh...

Girls On Film. Excellent video - especially the version they won't show on MTV (if MTV showed videos.)

Yeap, it's a very good song, but I never saw the video. I will have to look into that. Thanks...

I actually saw the PG13 version on VH1 Classic last month. You have to buy the video collection to get the R-rated one.

Oh all right, you &*^#$ slavedriver.

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away

It's a Boston song........uuuhhh............<brain exploding>.......................AHHH................

MORE THAN A FEELING!

Ok, my turn (i'll make it an easy one)

She was a fast machine She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman I had ever seen
She had the sightless eyes Telling me no lies
Knockin' me out with those American thighs...

ACDC - You Shook Me All Night Long

Easy easy

[First line]
Faces look ugly when you're alone
People seem wicked, when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven, when you're down

The Doors - People are Strange

I'd have thought
That with time
Thoughts of her
Would leave my head
I was wrong
And I find
Just one thing makes me forget

EDIT: I lose! By two minutes! Dammit...

As for these lyrics...I am drawing a blank.

UB40 - Red Red Wine

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

Zeppellin - Stairway to Heaven.

Duh... hehehe.

eeek im so sorry about those lyrics...screwed around with the song. Im not posting any lyrics so next *cough*

Well I heard some people talking just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
Let me tell ya I got some news for you
And you'll soon find out it's true
And you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself

The Eagles - Already Gone

Yup. Got some more lyrics for us?

Yeah, I have some, but this is really easy...

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style,
And so I came to see him and listen for a while.
And there he was this young bwoy, stranger to my eyes,
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,

That's Killing me Softly with his Song...a number of people performed that, but I'll go with the original, Roberta Flack.

This one won't be easy, unless you know the band well:

Day is night in New York City
Smoke, like water, runs inside
Steel idle trees to pity
Every living thing that's died

No takers? Okay, the lyrics continue like this:

Gonna [name of song]
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time

And...the band who plays it is the name of a city.

Tom Scholz - Hitch a Ride

Any means in your horizon
Every mink walks two by two,
we gamble to be born again
You know I never wanted to

Er...close, but not really. The band's name is Boston, dude...Tom Scholz is just the writer, and I believe he did the instruments (all of them) on the album...Brad Delp was vocalist.

I get the feeling you Googled the lyrics...

Well yahoo'ed ive never been a fan of google. It did inspire me to go and have a look for their music though

Boston kicks serious, serious ass. They're my favorite band.

The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way

The Long and Winding Road - The Beatles

She got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stare too long, I'd probably break down and cry

Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns and Roses

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death construction

damn....that sounds like ozzy for some reason......

I have run through the fields

Begin the day with a friendly voice,
A companion unobtrusive
Plays the song that's so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood.

here's another one:

Hey tv child look into my eyes
Here by intervention, we want your attention

And there's no where in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room
Dreaming about you and me

Too Much Information- Duran Duran

Ok Borg, there you are...

God bless you workin' on a plan to heaven
Follow the Lord all 24/7 days
God is who we praise even though the devils all up in my face.
He keepin' me safe and in my place
Say grace to the gates we race,
But I change the face of judge

Since nobody knows this one, do you want me to give away the answer...?

Is it a Church song?

No, it's a church song, and I have to give it away, cause the game must go on.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - The Crossroads

Ok, I will post some more lyrics...

Born in the north
And sworn to entertain ya
’Cause I’m down for
The state of Pennsylvania

I try not to whine
But I must warn ya
’Bout the girls
From California

Okay... let's stick with the old rock...

Here's one:

Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand.
Well, I stand up next to a mountain,
Chop it down with the edge of my hand.
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island,
Might even raise just a little sand.

Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chile

Here is one

The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
and everyday the paperboy brings more

Pink Floyd--Brain Damage

We're all the same

The Killers - Change Your Mind

Here are some lyrics

Trumpets and violins like up here in the distance
I think they're calling our names
Maybe now you can't hear them, but you will ha
if you just, take hold of my hand

Jimi Hendrix, Are You Experienced


In a soldier's stance I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach

its a terror knowing
what this world is about
watching some good friends
screaming 'let me out"
pray tomorrow
gets me higher

Queen - Pressure. Great song.

Decka: What's the matter? Not willing to do a bit of research to provide a composer for the lyrics I presented? Try again.


" ... In a soldier's stance I aimed my hand

Sorry, I don't know who that is ...

Never more will he crawl 'round

It's a good song...

I’ve seen what I could not recognize
Everthing in my life was leading me on
But I can be strong

Easily indeed. ;) Don't Look Back - Boston.

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?

Jester: Sweet Home Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Poor es...no one knows what song that is.

...you are the girl for me.
You don't know me but you make me so happy.
I tried to call you before, but I lost my nerve.
I tried my imagination, but I was disturbed.

wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room

they saw birthmarks all over her body
she couldnt quite explain

They Can't Take That Away From Me

Writer(s): george and ira gershwin

There are many many crazy things
That will keep me loving you
And with your permission
May I list a few

The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No they can’t take that away from me

The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No they can’t take that away from me

We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love
But I’ll always, always keep the memory of

The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No they can’t take that away from me.

Preformed by Frank Sinatra

I'm a rolling thunder, a pouring rain.
I'm comin' on like a hurricane.
My lightning's flashing across the sky.
You're only young but you're gonna die.

Easy - Rolling Stones - Sitting on a fence

Here is a tricky one...be careful

What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
where waves of hunger gnaw?
Shall we set out across this sea of faces
in search of more and more applause?

Since noone knows the one Tapeworm posted, I decided to post new lyrics... here they are:

Level with God and you're in tune with the universe
Talk with yourself and you'll hear what you wanna know
Gotta rise above cause below it's only gettin' worse
Life in time will take you where you wanna go, where you wanna go

Aerosmith - Movin Out

Yeap. It's your turn now.

Tell grandma you fell off the swing

"I’m losing you
I know your heart is miles away
There’s a whisper there where once there was a storm
And all that’s left is that image that I’ll find a way
And some memories have tattered as they’ve torn"

DING! Wrong Answer!! These are lyrics from Jethro Tull, the song Cross Eyed Mary.

"Cross-Eyed Mary"

Who would be a poor man, a beggarman, a thief --
if he had a rich man in his hand.
And who would steal the candy
from a laughing baby's mouth
if he could take it from the money man.
Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again.
She signs no contract
but she always plays the game.
Dines in Hampstead village
on expense accounted gruel,
and the jack-knife barber drops her off at school.
Laughing in the playground -- gets no kicks from little boys:
would rather make it with a letching grey.
Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung,
who watches through the railings as they play.
Cross-eyed Mary finds it hard to get along.
She's a poor man's rich girl
and she'll do it for a song.
She's a rich man stealer
but her favour's good and strong:
She's the Robin Hood of Highgate --
helps the poor man get along.

"I’m losing you
I know your heart is miles away
There’s a whisper there where once there was a storm
And all that’s left is that image that I’ll find a way
And some memories have tattered as they’ve torn"

Rolling Stones -Don't Stop.
