The low-hanging fruit of song lyric predictions thread

*Somebody’s gonna hurt someone
before the night is through …

… There’s gonna be a heartache tonight,
a heartache tonight, I know. …*

Heartache Tonight, Don Henley

Really went out on a limb with that one, Don. :wink:

:confused: … isn’t it

Somebody’s gonna come undone.
There’s nothin’ we can do

:dubious:

“Only time will tell if we stand the test of time”

Real profound, right there. :rolleyes:

Ken Hensley penned this immoral line for the Uriah Heep classic Circle of Hands–

" Today is only yesterday’s tomorrow."

It’s not like it used to be, back when they could really write…

Thomas Morley. What a maroon.

I-I-I want to Rock And Roll all night…

and party EV-ER-IE Day…

But if you want TRULY prophetic lyrics… in the song “My Little Town,” Simon and Garfunkel clearly foresaw the rise of Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition:

“After it rains, there’s a rainbow,
And all of its colors are black.”

Yeah, believing that put you into the seventh circle of Dante’s Heck. :slight_smile:

I’ve always liked that line.

That’s brutal.

My Contribution:

The hairs on your arm will stand up / At the terror in each sip and in each sup. / Will you partake of that last offered cup - Johnny Cash

Sacrilege I know.

Oh, I thought this would be a thread about the world’s most overused rhymes. You know, like…

  • blah blah blah…looooove
    blah blah…heaven abooooove*

or

  • do be do … toniiiiight
    dobedo … be alriiiight*

I guess I shoulda known by the way she parked her car sideways that it wouldn’t last.

I guess I must be dumb, she had a pocket full of horses, trojans, some of them used.

Ewwww…

You have a problem with recycling?

Not to mention the Rolling Stones:

I see a rainbow and I want it painted black.
