Verbose song lyrics

Edge of Seventeen – Stevie Nicks

What the heck. I’ll post the answers to my unanswered country songs from post 136:

Charlie’s got a gold watch, don’t seem like a whole lot, after thirty years of driving up and down the interstate. Kathy Mattea, “18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses.”

I was lousy at math, a failed historian; Carlene was the valedictorian; I was the quarterback in the back of the classes; she was the whiz kid in horned rim glasses. Phil Vassar, “Carlene.”

Well I woke up this morning, stumbled out of my rack; I opened up the paper to the page in the back; it only took a minute for my finger to find; my daily dose of destiny, under my sign; my eyes just about popped out of my head; it said “the stars are stacked against you girl, get back in bed.” Mary Chapin Carpenter, “I Feel Lucky.”

Guess I won’t try “Canines of an advanced age, young specimens of the species homo sapiens, and a fermented beverage made from a fruit whose Linnean classification is citrullus lanatus.” IOW, “Old Dogs, Children, and Watermelon Wine,” by Tom T. Hall. :slight_smile:

I bid you entrance to the primeval forest, which contains merrymaking and recreation. All of us possess the totality of your heart’s desires, bee nectar, we are aware of the monikers. We are those who have the ability to locate anything that you desire. Provided that you obtain the necessary financial compensation, bee nectar, we can acquire a bacterial or viral infection for you.

**Derleth **: yup.
ETA : **DrainBread **: G’nR - Welcome to the Jungle

a couple more:

a) I consider the opinion hoi poloi has of me to be of little import. You exist in an ante-present continuum whereas this is a novel iteration of life’s genetic sequence.

b) The locutor does not necessitate an acoustico-electric transducing device as his laryngeal foils produce copulatory wattage.

c) On the exact day the British defeated Napoleon at Maida, we lifted a linen-based motive apparatus in the hemicircular geographical fixture found at geo-positional coordinates 51.776189,-8.260403

Skee-Lo, “I Wish”.

As predicted: :smack:

“Talk Dirty to Me” by Poison

Peace Sells, But Who’s Buying? by Megadeth

This world is spinning around me
This world is spinning without me
Every day sends future to past
Every breath leaves one less to my last
Pull me under
Pull me under
Pull me under, I’m not afraid

  • Dream Theater

If you think I’ll sit around as the world goes by
You’re thinking like a fool 'cause it’s a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waiting to be had
You think I’ll let it go you’re mad
You’ve Got Another Thing Coming!

  • Judas Priest

Unless I’m mistaken, this would actually be Warrant’s Cherry Pie.

Probably too easy:

A particular female of youthful age from a village with an insignificant population
Experiencing her own existence within a universe that is void of companionship
This particular individual embarked upon railed transportation that departed at 12:00 AM to an undetermined destination
A particular male of youthful age from a metropolitan area with a considerable population
Whose birth and upbringing took place primarily within the southern vicinity of the largest city in the state of Michigan
This particular individual embarked upon railed transportation that departed at 12:00 AM to an undetermined destination

A vocalist performing in an enclosure that is polluted with second-hand cigarette smoke
The fragrances of common alcoholic beverages and inexpensive cologne worn by the women who are present
In exchange for a pleasant facial expression, they can cohabitate from the evening until the following morning
It continues endlessly and repeatedly

People who are unfamiliar with one another, loitering without taking notice
For as far as one can see in either direction along the major thoroughfare
Their silhouetted images formed by directed light, continuing their investigation after the sun has set in the sky
Artificial external light fixtures and present members of the human race
With their only apparent goal to discover experiences that are more spiritual in nature than materialistic
Taking cover at an unspecified location after the sun has set in the sky

Dahnlor: “Don’t Stop Believing” – Journey

Correct on both. Imagine that. :wink:

Looks like I don’t have any outstanding entries, so we’re back to…

A) My cranium has been continuously descended upon by tiny globules of precipitation
However, were you to assume such an event would result in crimson-colored corneas, you would be mistaken – lacrimation does not suit me!

B) As before, I shall depart in a manner which befits my solitary nature
Verily shall I traverse this particular interstate; I am not cognizant of whether or not any others exist
My solitary nature has been persistent and unchanged since birth, akin to John Rambo immediately after the war
After weighing my options, I have decided that failure to act in this manner will create further temporal detritus, and that is a fate I wish to avoid
Therefore, as before, I shall depart in a manner which befits my solitary nature

Feh…both bands suck anyway. :stuck_out_tongue:

“Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” – Hal David and Burt Bacharach

July 13th 1985, by John Wesley Harding

The best part is that stpauler’s quote is not a paraphrase; that’s an actual lyric from the song. You could have just googled it.
Try this:

Declaration of my feelings for you
Elaboration on those feelings
Description of how long these feelings have existed
Belief that no one else could feel the same as I

I am emotionally attached to you in a quantity of 1.5556 cubic feet , 1.5556 cubic feet and a cervical embrace, a cervical embrace and 42 gallons and a pile of unspecified size, 42 gallons and a pile of unspecified size and I engage in somniloquy in regard to you.

This is of course Journey’s big hit “Eschew the Cessation of Belief” :slight_smile:

Name derived from the Frankish Chlodweg, Name derived from the Frankish Chlodweg, exclamation of negativity! I must depart. I uttered a stereotypical Mexican grito, Name derived from the Frankish Chlodweg, Name derived from the Frankish Chlodweg, exclamation to a neonate! I must depart.

I observed the descent of the entity,
Which was both monocerotic and cyclopic
I began feeling a nervous palsy and uttered “Ui”
For my observations identified it as a violet anthropovore.

It was a monocerotic, cyclopic, aviant violet anthropovore
(a monocerotic, cyclopic, aviant violet anthropovore)
a monocerotic, cyclopic, aviant violet anthropovore
I found to be of peculiar appearance )Cyclopic?)

I eq2uired, “Mr. Violet Anthropovore, what is your profession?”
He responded, “The consumption of persons of violet hue, which I find more than sufficient.
However, my purpose in making planetfall was not gustatorial,
But to obtain employment in a popular music group.”

The Kingsmen - Louie Louie. Nice one.

ETA : the second one is mos’ def’ “The Purple People Eater” by Sheb Wooley, but I never heard that song.
