Guess the Song Lyric

Iggy pop - the passenger


We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
 
I can't believe I just got rick rolled in this thread.

Rick Astley. Never Gonna Give You Up.

Holly came from Miami F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
 
I believe that is Lou Reed's Take a Walk on the Wild Side.



Sometime and all at once 'cos it seems
That nothing stays the same
As certainly as me
And nothing stays the same but me

Well, I have toiled and I have tamed
Constricted and constrained
Just to learn about
How everyone is sane
 
Everyone Is Totally Insane by The Dandy Warhols.

Remember how I found you there
Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man
I said "Take me as I am"
'Cause you might enjoy some madness for awhile.
 
You may be right-Billy Joel.

It's early morning, the sun comes out
Last night was shaking and pretty loud
My cat is purring, it scratches my skin
So what is wrong with another sin?

The bitch is hungry, she needs to tell
So give her inches and feed her well
More days to come, new places to go
I've got to leave, it's time for a show
 
(HERE I AM!) ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE! By Scorpion.

I'm going to throw in an interesting one for you here.

All you need is love!
Love is just a game.
I was made for loving you baby,
You were made for loving me.
The only way of loving me baby
Is to pay a lovely fee
Just one night give me just one night
There's no way,
Cause you can't pay.
In the name of love!
One night in the name of love!

(A different part of the song)

You'd think that people would've had enough of silly love songs
I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh no.
Some people wanna fillt he world with silly love songs
Well what's wrong with that
I'd like to know
Cause here I go again
Love lifts us up where we belong!
Where ealges fly,
On a mountain high!
Love makes us act like we are foolds
Throw our lives away, for one happy day.
We could be heroes! Just for one day.
 
(OOC: we are going on musical eh?)

Elephant love medley-Moulin Rouge

Insolent boy, this slave of fashion,
Basking in your glory!
Ignorant fool, this brave young suitor,
Sharing in my triumph!

Angel, I hear you.
Speak, I listen.
Stand by my side,
Guide me.

Angel, my soul was weak,
Forgive me.
Enter at last, Master.

Flattering child, you shall know me.
See why in shadow I hide.
Look at your face in the mirror.
I am there, inside!
 
It sounds so familiar but I can't think of the name :(

EDIT: OH that's from Phantom of the Opera isn't it?!

Forgot my lyrics!

Stock market goin' up, jobs are goin' down
And ain't no funking jobs to be found
Taxes keep goin' up, I changed from a glass
Now I drink from a paper cup, gettin' bad

People, people, we got to get over
Before we go under

Listen to me, let's get together and raise
Let's get together, get some land
Raise our food like the man
Save our money like the Mob
Put up [Incomprehensible] on the job
 
Ninja'd! Stand-by for edit.

EDIT: James Brown - Funky President.

Start the car
I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold
But the piano's hot!

It's just a noisy hall
Where there's a nightly brawl!

All that jazz-Chicago

Hey now, take your pills and
Hey now, make your breakfast
Hey now, comb your hair and off to work
Crash land, no illusion, no collision, no intrusion
My immagination run away
 
Star Spangled Banner - Francis Scott Key

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address,
In a torn-up town, no postcode envy

But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.

And we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood,
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
 
R.E>M Uberlin.

The day is holding its breath, all is quiet
In the corners, paper is dancing while whispering
A turbulent wind is sweeping the streets
And over the bench on which we were sitting earlier
It's stopping to look for you
But you are here with me
Quiet in the eye of the storm

CLUE: You may need to translate it into a different language!!!
 
Oh wait I was late. That one's Royals.

The day is holding its breath, all is quiet
In the corners, paper is dancing while whispering
A turbulent wind is sweeping the streets
And over the bench on which we were sitting earlier
It's stopping to look for you

Quiet in the eye of the storm

CLUE: You may need to translate it into a different language!!!

OOC: What the hell is going on guys? Go with order. And post in in the original Language please!!!

Now i know my ABC's (seriously Cascadia?)

Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think l'm the girl
The girl who has everything?
 
Part of That World from The Little Mermaid

A small one here:

A man selling ice cream, singing Italian songs
"Eh Cumpari, ci vo sunari"
And I've been waiting such a long time
 
Saturday in the Park - Chicago

One of my faves:

Come on down to the Mermaid Café and I will
Buy you a bottle of wine
And we'll laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down
Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
A round for these friends of mine
Let's have another round for the bright red devil
Who keeps me in this tourist town
 
Joni Mitchell, Carey. Nice choice!

This next one might be a trick-question. I'm looking for the original writer and the band who made it famous.

And I asked him tell where are you going, this he told me:
Well, I'm going down to Yasgur's farm, going to join in a rock and roll band.
Got to get back to the land, set my soul free.
We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year old carbon,
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
 
Once again, Joni Mitchell wrote it, Crosby, Stills and Nash made it famous.

Don't come a-hangin' around my door
Don't wanna see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Coloured lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
 
American Woman by The Guess Who. (Another good one!)

Some folks are born, made to wave the flag
Ooo, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"
Ooo, they point the cannon at you, Lord
 
Fortunate Son - Creedence Clearwater Revival

These lyrics are so great I had to post the whole song.

Are you optimistic 'bout the way things are going?
No, I never ever think of it at all

Don't you ever worry
When you see what's going down?

No, I try to mind my business, that is, no business at all

When it's time to function as a feeling human being
Will your Bachelor of Arts help you get by?

I hope to study further, a few more years or so
I also hope to keep a steady high

Will you try to change things
Use the power that you have, the power of a million new ideas?

What is this power you speak of and this need for things to change?
I always thought that everything was fine

Don't you feel repression just closing in around?
No, the campus here is very, very free

Don't it make you angry the way war is dragging on?
Well, I hope the President knows what he's into, I don't know

Don't you ever see the starvation in the city where you live
All the needless hunger all the needless pain?

I haven't been there lately, the country is so fine
But my neighbors don't seem hungry 'cause they haven't got the time

Thank you for the talk, you know you really eased my mind
I was troubled by the shapes of things to come

Well, if you had my outlook your feelings would be numb
You'd always think that everything was fine

Part II

We can make it happen
We can change the world now
We can save the children
We can make it better
We can make it happen
We can save the children
We can make it happen
 
Chicago-Dialogue

She messed around with a bloke named Smoky
She loved him though he was cokey
He took her down to Chinatown
And he showed her how to kick the gong around
 
Cab Calloway! Minnie the Moocher, a famous song and hit in its own right, but I imagine you heard it in The Blues Brothers :P A hidee hidee hidee ho!

Alright here's my song, and I'm awarding bonus points to whoever can tell me the 1969 movie that (after a brief scene) this song opened for.

You know I've smoked a lot of grass
O' Lord, I've popped a lot of pills
But I never touched nothin'
That my spirit could kill
You know, I've seen a lot of people walkin' 'round
With tombstones in their eyes
But the pusher don't care
Ah, if you live or if you die

You right :P

Steppenwolf-The Pusher (the film is "Easy Rider"?).

I'll never forget the moment we kissed
The night of the hayride
The way that we hugged to try to keep warm
While taking' a sleig ride
 
Bonus points awarded! Easy Rider was the film.

Perry Como-Magic Moments

Was like any other
Until I kissed you

And then it happened
It took me by suprise
I knew that you felt it too
By the look in your eyes

Sweeter than wine
Softer than the summer night
Everything I want I have
Whenever I hold you tight
 
The Drifters-This magic moment

Now in the street, there is violence
An' an' a lots of work to be done
No place to hang all our washing
An' an' i can't blame all on the sun
 
Eddy Grant - Electric Avenue! We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue, and then we'll take it higher!

Like all the lyrics in this one.

The eastern world it is exploding
Violence flarin', bullets loadin'
You're old enough to kill but not for votin'
You don't believe in war but whats that gun you're totin'?
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin'

*Insert Chorus*

Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say
Can't you feel the fears I'm feelin' today?
If the button is pushed, there's no runnin' away
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave
Take a look around you boy, it's bound to scare you boy

*Insert Chorus*

Yeah my blood's so mad feels like coagulating
I'm sitting here just contemplatin'
I can't twist the truth it knows no regulation
Handful of senators don't pass legislation
And marches alone can't bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin'
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'

*Insert Chorus*

Think of all the hate there is in Red China
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
You may leave here for four days in space
But when you return it's the same old place
The pounding of the drums, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead but don't leave a trace
Hate your next door neighbor but don't forget to say grace
 
Barry McGuire - Eve of Destruction

Love is but a song we sing
And fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why
 
The youngbloods-Get togheter

That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, an aeroplane, Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs
 
It's The End Of The World As We Know It by REM, and I feel fine.

But I'm frightened for your children
That the live that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain

Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day
 
The Moody Blues - The Story in Your Eyes - such a great song!

What I dream I had:
Pressed in organdy;
Clothed in crinoline of smoky Burgundy;
Softer than the rain.
I wandered empty streets
Down past the shop displays.
I heard cathedral bells
Tripping down the alley ways,
As I walked on.

And when you ran to me
Your cheeks flushed with the night.
We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight,
I held your hand.
And when I awoke and felt you warm and near,
I kissed your honey hair with my grateful tears.
Oh I love you, girl.
Oh, I love you.
 
For Emily by Simon & Garfunkel, I haven't heard that one and I believe I am better off now that I have!


Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
 
Ohio - Crosby Stills Nash & Young

Gone are the days when the ox fall down,
Take up the yoke and plow the fields around.
Gone are the days when the ladies said' "Please,
Gentle Jack Jones won't you come to me."

1929 when he stepped to the bar,
drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar.
1930 when the wall caved in,
he made his way selling red-eyed gin.

Delilah Jones was the mother of twins,
Two times over and the rest were sins.
Raised eight boys, only I turned bad,
Didn't get the lickin's that the other ones had.

Tumble down shack in Big Foot county.
Snowed so hard that the roof caved in.
Delilah Jones went to meet her God,
And the old man never was the same again.

Daddy made whiskey and he made it well.
Cost two dollars and it burned like hell.
I cut hickory just to fire the still,
Drink down a bottle and be ready to kill.
 
Grateful Dead – Brown-Eyed Woman, Probably off that Grateful Dead Bootleg you mentioned lol

Johnny's mum and dad both worked long hours,
They worked on the weekends too.
Johnny was eleven, but they had no notion
Of what Johnny was going through.
Johnny got pushed and Johnny got robbed
And it made him feel chicken to run.
Big kids picked on Johnny every day,
Till Johnny went and got him a gun.

Johnny got a gun, he didn't bring it home;
He covered it with rags and dirt.
On his way to school he looked both ways,
Then he hid it under his shirt.
Johnny was afraid of going to school;
There was always trouble in the halls.
Fights in the boys' room, guns in the lockers,
And little kids bouncing off the walls.

First time Johnny flashed his gun,
Everybody backed off fast.
Everybody treated him differently, then.
Johnny felt safe at last.
Johnny had a gun and everybody knew.
Everybody left him alone.
Till he bumped a kid who was coming down the stairs,
And the kid had a gun of his own.

The kid pushed Johnny, Johnny went down,
And the kid had something to say.
Pulled his gun; Johnny shot first,
And he blew the other kid away.
The police came and they took away the gun;
Said he wouldn't need a gun any more.
Took him to the station, sat him in a chair,
And his feet didn't reach the floor.

Johnny had a hearing plead self defence,
Prosecutor said, "No way."
Judge said "you're eleven, but you're killing like a man,
And it's gonna be a long, long stay."
Johnny's mum and dad still work long hours,
And knock on the unit door.
Sit with Johnny in the visitor's room,
And his feet don't reach the floor.
 
Johnny got a gun-Tom Paxton.

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
 
Suspicious Minds by Elvis. Thought I knew what song that was but couldnt put my finger on it, had to google it in the end :P

There was a woman he knew
About a year or so ago.
She had something
that he needed
And he pleaded
with her not to go.
On the day that she left,
He died,
but it did not show.
Know when you see him,
Nothing can free him.
 
Neil Young-The loner.

She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
 
Always A Woman To Me by Billy Joel

I'm looking for the original writer for this one.

(Come on and) dance with me
I want my arms about you
That those charms about you
Will carry me through

(Right up) to heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging)
 
Cheek to Cheek-Irwing Berlin

Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said, "Baby, can't you see?
I wanna be famous, a star on the screen
But you can do something in between"
 
Baby you can drive my car! The Beatles, Drive My Car.

Well she got her daddy's car
And she cruised to the hamburger stand now
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her old man now
And with the radio blasting
Goes cruising just as fast as she can now
