Spoons…I think googling is kinda cheating. I like thinking about it til I come up with a song. Of course there is no way to know every song lyric in the world. So if I rethink of a song it’s only a instant reaction to what was said in the post before me. I don’t care how you play the game, but I will play it my way, thank you very much!!
The record shows I took the blows
And did it MY WAY!
Beckdawrek may have been subtly pointing out that Ride Captain Ride was used just a couple of days ago (tho since we have two threads now it may have been the other one)
You know the way
It twists and turns
Changing color
Spinning yarns
You know the way
It leaves you dry
It cuts you up
And takes you high
You know the way
It’s painted gold
Is it honey
Is it cold
You know the way
It throws about
It takes you in
And spits you out
Yeah
This time I’m 'a let it all come out
This time I’m 'a stand up and shout
I’m 'a do things my way
It’s my way
My way, or the highway
Carefree highway, let me slip away on you
Carefree highway, you seen better days
The mornin’ after blues from my head down to my shoes
Carefree highway, let me slip away
Slip away on you
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
There’s nothing cheaty about using Google. Sometimes I’ll discover the actual lyrics aren’t the ones I thought they were. :smack:
Of course, it’s not uncommon for online lyrics to be completely WRONG. So it’s basically six of one, 6/13th of a baker’s dozen the other…
That’s nothing… somewhere upthread, Gary Wright’s “Dreamweaver” was quoted three times on the same page…
The highway’s jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody’s out on the run tonight but there’s no place left to hide
Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
I’ll love you with all the madness in my soul
An ambulance finally came and took him to Riverside
I watched as they drove him away
And I thought of a girlfriend or a young wife
And a state trooper knockin’ in the middle of the night
to say “Your baby died in a wreck on the highway”
Down by the river, I shot my baby…
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
'Cause I’m going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I’m the devil’s son
Call me young gun
Happiness is a warm gun…
Dead lungs command it
You pour your life down the rifle’s spiral
And show us you’ve earned it
The cleric’s fog will recede right before your eyes
So long to this wretched form
Them gray eyes on the subway
Long before you were born
You were always to be a dagger floating
Straight to their heart
Never tell a secret with your eyes
It’s the eyes that let you down
Tell a little truth with many lies
It’s the only way I’ve found
Oh, here it comes again
Straight to your heart
Right in the middle of your heart
That’s my problem. I know a lot of lyrics. I think I know many more. So I check.
Okay, continuing on…
Listen,
Do you want to know a secret?
Do you promise not to tell, whoa oh, oh…
Got a secret…can you keep it?
Don’t tell me you love me
Don’t tell me you love me
Don’t tell me, I don’t want to know
A little later on that year
I told you that I loved you, dear.
What do you know?
This you weren’t prepared to hear.
…
By the way,
I do know why you stayed away.
I will keep tongue tied next time.
Love is strange…
