You guys listened to different stuff than I did in the 80’s.
Babe you know
You’re growing up so fast
And Mama’s worrying
That you won’t last to say Let’s play
I see your face every time I dream
On every page, every magazine
So wild and free, so far from me
You’re all I want, my fantasy
We sailed away
We walked two thousand miles and then we slipped away
We looked so hard
But couldn’t seem to find just what the world was for
Now we know
Just what the journey’s for
She says my work is like eating cold oatmeal,
Yesterday’s oatmeal, day after day,
She says my work is like eating cold oatmeal,
Day after day, and she’s right
Drunk on margaritas and full of food,
She says “It’s hard to be with one when you’re in love with another”,
Drunk on margaritas and full of food,
She says “It’s hard to be with one when you’re in love with another, when you’re in love with another.”
That’s all from one song…I’ll be a little surprised if anyone gets it quickly
Another one, one of my favorite songs…
92) She moves among men
They would seek to have her as a prize
But she is in the shadows
The ocean and the sand
She is everywhere and no place
the next line contains the name of the song, if that helps
I listened to all kinds of music, but Big Hair Boy Bands were not my favorites.
91)
So you think we have a lazy time,
well you should know better
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
And you say I got a dirty mind,
well I’m a mean go getter
No one get my #83? Thought that was an easy one. Look again. Here’s another by the same, uh, “artist”:
You’ll take my life but I’ll take yours too
You’ll fire musket but I’ll run you through
So when you’re waiting for the next attack
You better _____* there’s no turning back
forgot the word that goes there, but you know the song.
(94) Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono
(95) Your lights are on, but you’re not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
(96) Well I remember, I remember don’t worry
How could I ever forget, it’s the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don’t fool me
The hurt doesn’t show; but the pain still grows
It’s no stranger to you or me
Woopsie daisy, my 92 should really be 94. That is, if you count Biggirl’s as 93.
ugh.
Here’s an unumbered one to ponder:
Your eatin death cause you like gettin dirt from the graveyard
You put gravy on it
Then you pick your teeth with tombstone chips
And casket cover clips, dead women hips
you do the bump with
bones, nothin but love bones
Lifestyles of the living dead
First you live, then your dead
Die tryin to clock what I said
Now I got a murder rap
cause I bust your cap
with flavor, pure flavor
That should be Too Much Love by the Screaming Blue Messiahs.
Isn’t that also Sisters of Mercy? I want to say Lucretia, My Reflection, but I’m not very sure. This Corrosion? If I name every song on Floodland, will I eventually hit it?
Everbody’s doin’ it
Please don’t let them ruin it om
Let me tell you what I say when I’m dealing with a funky sidewalk. Let me tell you what I say when I’ve got to do my funky walk. Let me tell you what I say when I’m dealing with a funky sidewalk, I say: SSHHHHHHHHHH -UGA!
I brought flowers in the springtime.
October, we were wed.
In winter time, the roses died.
Her blood ran cold, and then she said
“She said, ‘I know you and you cannot sing’/I said, ‘That’s nothing. You should hear me play the piano.’”
I’m so tall, I’m so tall
You raised me and then you let me fall
We serve an old moan in a dry season/A lighthouse keeper in the desert run/Dreamers of sleepers and white treason/We dream of rain and the hist’ry of the gun/There’s a lighthouse in the middle of Prussia/A white house in a red square/I’m living in films for the sake of Russia/A keno runner for the DDR/And the 52 daughters of the revolution/Turn the gold to chrome/Gift…Nothing to lose/Stuck inside of Memphis with the mobile home
I left alone, my mind was blank
I needed time to think, to get these memories from my mind
What did I see? Can I believe?
That what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy
“I love you kids with your crazy rock and roll. Like that Eddie Van Heflin.” “Van Halen” “Whatever”
Face facts/James Brown was old/Til Eric and Rak did ‘I Know You Got Soul’

92a) You’ll take my life but I’ll take yours too
You’ll fire musket but I’ll run you through
So when you’re waiting for the next attack
You better _____* there’s no turning back
Well I remember, I remember don’t worry

The hurt doesn’t show; but the pain still grows
It’s no stranger to you or me
“Deutschmarks or dollars/American Express will do nicely, thank you/Let me loosen up your collar/Do you want to see me do the shimmy again?”
Well, you should try to smile, dear
Get yourself a pet deer,
Dog,
Cat,
Bird,
Pig,
Lamb,
Horse,
Cow
Fish,
a Goldfish
a Mouse!
I think that’s right. Maybe people should only post one new lyric at a time.
88. Babe you know
You’re growing up so fast
And Mama’s worrying
That you won’t last to say Let’s play
Sister Christian - Night Ranger
(96) Well I remember, I remember don’t worry

In The Air Tonight - Phil Collins (or Genesis, not sure)
99) "Deutschmarks or dollars/American Express will do nicely, thank you/Let me loosen up your collar/Do you want to see me do the shimmy again?"
Private Dancer - Tina Turner
Tryin to tell me I’m an old dream
A new version of an old scene
Cause all the children know
They’re all slidin’ down into the valley
They’re all slipping on the same snow
Endless trains of one night stands
Sharing gigs with half-assed bands
And all the local groupies lay the same
Actually I was going for The Specials/Special AKA, but that’ll do!
Der Kommisar(spelling?) - After The Fire
104) Words are few
I have spoken
I could waste a thousand years
Wrapped in sorrow
Words are token
Come inside and catch my tears
You’ve been talking but believe me
If its true
You do not know
This boy loves without a reason
I’m prepared to let you go
105) When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else’s pocket then make a slip.
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool.
I’m on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books tryin’ to stay hip.
I’m thinkin’ of you you’re out there so
Say your prayers.
