he looks a proper nana
in his great big hobnail boots
he has such a job to pull them up
he calls them daisey roots
My Old Man’s a Dustman–the Irish Rovers
die Einigte Gemeinschaft
*Well I know that you’re in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
*
American Pie, Don McLean
Team 2:
*My friends all think I must be crazy
I see the facts but if it’s true
I want to know who’s in my footsteps
I want to know who wears these shoes, darling
Who Wears These Shoes* - Elton John
le première équipe
*Too much walking, shoes worn thin.
Too much trippin and my souls worn thin.
Time to catch a ride it leaves today,
her name is what it means.
Too much walkin’ shoes worn thin.
Time to take her home,
her dizzy head is conscience laden.*
Big Empty, Stone Temple Pilots
BTW, Oly, the word you were looking for in German was Mannschaft, nicht Gemeinschaft. I realized this after I pressed enter. Gemeinschaft means community or organization, IIRC.
Team 2:
*I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I’d been a girlie,
Just like my dear Mama.
The Lumberjack Song* - Monty Python
Team 1
*But today we just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn’t make any noise
But it wasn’t the bullet that laid him to rest, it was
The low spark of high-heeled boys
*
Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys, Traffic
Hurrah! May I nominate fly as the next word?
In which case,
Team Two:
For long you live and high you fly
Smiles you’ll give and tears you’ll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Breathe in the Air | Pink Floyd
Blah, screw what I just wrote, my computer had a spastic session in which it had refresh issues and took four hours to post things.
Kindly disregard.
Hey, Roj, just 'cause you like to quote Pink Floyd doesn’t mean you have to emulate Syd Barrett.
Team Two:
I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment, I could be you
Yeah, I wish that for just one time
I could stand inside your shoes
You’d know what a drag it is to see you
Positively 4th Street | Bob Dylan
Actually, the guys at Capitol Records make you sign this thing once you’ve quoted Pink Floyd or the members of Pink Floyd any more than a collective 47 times, which is a legally binding contract forcing you to emulate Syd Barrett. It’s rough. But I buttered my bread, now I gotta sleep in it. Or however it goes.
Well, I’m off to tape daffodils to my forehead and lace my condiments with LSD. And then I gotta get another perm…dammit!
Team 1
I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home
Margaritaville, Jimmy Buffett
Note to other Team 1 folks: I’m feeling like I’m Bruce Lee here, fighting a whole horde by myself. Feel free to quit admiring from the sidelines and jump in whenever you’re all limbered up and loose…
I’m finally awake, ShibbOleth! Just waiting for Team 2 to catch up so I can jump in there!
Team Two:
I hang on everything about you
You’d think I’d settle down, cos I’m older
But I roll with the changes is all
I’m the same old trailer trash in new shoes
Girl Like That | Matchbox Twenty
Team 1:
Look around all you see is big black boots
Steppin’, steppin’
Use my steel-toe as a weapon
Wicked - Ice Cube
Team Two:
I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
Got those swollen hand blues
Nobody Home | Pink Floyd
Team 1
*Heading up to San Francisco
For the Labor Day Weekend Show
I’ve got my hushpuppies on
I guess I never was meant for glitter Rock and Roll
*
Come Monday, Jimmy Buffett
Team Two:
Across the stream in wooden shoes
Bells to tell the king the news
A thousand misty riders
Climb up higher one more time
Matilda Mother | Pink Floyd
Team One
I’ve got a pair of Gohill’s boots
and I’ve got fading roots
Nobody Home - Pink Floyd
Team 1:
He goes out at night with his big boots on
None of his friends know right from wrong
Rehumanize Yourself - The Police
