Lyric game!

Truant · Post by **Truant** » March 6, 2006, 3:54 pm

Okay, gonna try this out.
Here's how it works:
I post a bit of lyrics. You guess the song and artist (many songs have multiple versions, any are acceptable I guess, if you know multiple, even better). The person who guesses correctly then gets to post a bit of lyrics. Repeat! (If you can't find the artist, that's okay...but try! this is educational!)

There are no rules as far as genre. You can use lyrics from any style of music, try not to turn it into a thrashing of other people's musical tastes. Failure to post lyrics after a correct guess is punishable by execution. (When this happens, the last person to post lyrics will then post again with new lyrics and hopefully the chain continues). If there are several guesses, and noone is really sure if they are right...the poster of the lyrics should identify the correct guess so that the chain can continue.

Enough horseshit explanations, on with the game!

This should be a fairly easy one, to help get things going.

Jesus just left Chicago and he's bound for New Orleans.
Well now, Jesus just left Chicago and he's bound for New Orleans.
Yeah, yeah.
Workin' from one end to the other and all points in between.

Took a jump through Mississippi, well, muddy water turned to wine.

ZZ Top "Jesus left Chicago"

:edit:

Do you wait for confirmation of your guess to post further lyrics or just assume that you are right and post them?

:edit:

Truant · Post by **Truant** » March 6, 2006, 5:15 pm

Nah, go ahead...only if you really don't know if your guess is right, ie. a wild stab in the dark at it, would you need to wait for any type of confirmation. So go ahead with your lyrics!

Alrighty then. Sorry for the delay, I tend to only troll here during work. Going to keep it simple then in the early stages.

Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan (Pantera did a well known cover as well)

I've got the Dungeon Master's Guide.
I've got a 12-sided die.
I've got Kitty Pryde
And Nightcrawler too
Waiting there for me.
Yes I do, I do.

I've got posters on the wall,
My favorite rock group, KISS.
I've got Ace Frehley.
I've got Peter Criss
Waiting there for me.
Yes I do, I do

Neil Young : Goin' Back

Now it's time to take this game to the expert level. Going to give you a whole verse on this one.

Sometimes I ask myself why even bother
When it goes in one ear and right out the other
Out on a limb out on the edge no matter what they say
The pleasure of pain day after day,
day after day

Now for a change of pace

This is my time so listen up I'm finna bump
I'll give you something I know you been waiting on
With HCP all on the track, airborne attack, strike from the back
Take off yo slack hoe
This for the ones all in the fields searching fo' real
Music to fill I got the antidope
Quote the words I write bout to ignite
And light up the room brighter than the sun through a telescope

Leonard Cohen - Closing Time

Sneaking out the back door
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine

Thinkin' it might stop her
From woopin' your behind

Phish - You Enjoy Myself

As the morning light stretched in across my bed
I thought of you, mmm hmm hmmmm
Remembering your laughing eyes and all we said
I love you too, mmm hmm hmmmm
And as all my thoughts of you pass 'fore my face a thousand times
The way you race my heart, I cannot say it all...in lines

Hrmmmmm no one?...Another song by the same writer...a bit more famous one, though his recording isn't that famous.

He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
throughout the south
He spoke through tears of 15 years how his dog and him
traveled about
The dog up and died, he up and died
And after 20 years he still grieves

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I'm loving you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Also Truant, I hate you for your choice as well, but that is mainly because I recently heard that song and I can't remember where!

That spinning plates song on the live recordings is excellent, truly beautiful!

The song Cid quoted is ofc James Blunt - You're beautiful.

picking up the ticket shows there's money to be made

go on and lose the gamble that's the history of the trade

whee, it fills the lyrics so much it's hard not to pick it out. Angeles by Elliott Smith...think that's the right number of L's and T's in his name.

Hungry Sally - Tito and Tarantula for mr. Boog.
and >< to mr. cadalano. I should have had that, I have dishonored my family.

Well I woke up Sunday morning
with no way to hold my head, that didn't hurt
and the beer I had for breakfast
wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert
then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes
and found my cleanest dirty shirt
and I shaved my face and combed my hair
and stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

Should be an easy one.

Mr. Cash - Sunday Morning Coming Down

Adding lyrics in a second... just wanted to call dibs.

edit: ok, I'm creating my own version of the game and adding lyrics from whatever song is currently playing on my player so this may be quite easy (I tend to listen on complete random unless I'm in the mood for anything specific).

He was the baby of the class you know
He really didn’t know that one and one was two
Two and two were four
He was the baby of the class you know
You were so young and so uncertain
Suffer little children
Oh what a poor soul

Truant · Post by **Truant** » March 27, 2006, 3:03 pm

I had forgotten that Johnny Cash had recorded it.
Kris Kristofferson wrote it (and recorded it).

Erasure - Ship of Fools. (ERASURE?!)

The monkey sat on a pile of stone
And stared at the broken bone in his hand
Strains of a Viennese quartet rang out across the land
And the monkey looked up at the stars
And he thought to himself
Memory is a stranger
History is for fools
And he cleaned his hands in a pool of holy writing
Turned his back on the garden and set out for the nearest town
Hold on hold on soldier

When you add it all up
The tears and the marrowbone
There's an ounce of gold
And an ounce of pride in each ledger
And the Germans killed the Jews
And the Jews killed the Arabs
And the Arabs killed the hostages
And that is the news
And is it any wonder that the monkey's confused
He said Mama, the President's a fool
Why do I have to keep reading these technical manuals
And the joint chiefs of staff
And the brokers on Wall Street said
Don't make us laugh, you're a smart kid
Time is linear
Memory is a stranger
History is for fools
Man is a tool in the hands
Of the great God Almighty
And they gave him command of a nuclear submarine
And sent him back in search of the Garden of Eden

A little tougher. Fucking amazing album that noone knows about, but should. (you'll understand when you realize who it is)

I wonder if any of you are trying out any new songs you encounter here? There's some really good ones.
