Yeah, I’d sorta like to start another one since they slammed the kibosh on the last one. Thing is, I don’t have the energy or attention span to referee it. Sorry. It’s my ADD. Ya know.
So if you don’t mind enabling my social loafing-- they learnt me them 20 cent words out at the college-- what I’m proposin is, instead of song titles, how 'bout words that’s gotta be in the song somewheres…OK?
Let’s say we start out with…oh, I don’t know… how about… Train! Yeah, the word is Train
Since I blew it last time for team 2, I’ll give them a handicap and start out on team 1, which, by sheer coincidence, is leading by one smiley face :
Team 1 Team 2
So, I hear theTraina-commin’ It’s rollin’ round the bend…
The Gambler - Kenny Rodgers
On a warm summer’s evenin’ on a train bound for nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a starin’ out the window at the darkness
'Til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.
“And what keeps runnin’ through my brain,
It just keeps running like a non-strop freight train.
It’s that traditions stick to you,
Just like, just like, Krazy Glue.”
That’s OK Crepitus. I basically failed as referee in the last thread…
“People get ready, there’s a TRAIN a coming,
Picking up passengers from coast to coast.
All you need is faith to hear the diesels humming.
Don’t need no ticket, you just thank the Lord.”
Written by the late, great Curtis Mayfield. Covered by loads of people, from Rod Stewart/Jeff Beck to the Impressions.
Midnight Train to Georgia - Gladys Night and the Pips
He’s leaving,
On that midnight train to Georgia,
And he’s goin’ back
To a simpler place and time.
And I’ll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia
Team 1
Love comes to town I’m gonna jump that Train
When love comes to town I’m gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
–When love comes to town --U2 and BB King
I used to be the main express
All steam and whistles heading west
Picking up my pain from door to door
Riding on the storyline
Furnace burning overtime
But this train don’t stop,
This train don’t stop,
This train don’t stop there anymore
Umm, I don’t listen to Elton John. No, seriously, I don’t!
