Okay. We're gonna play. I lay down some lyrics. You find another song containing the same word as the one I put in CAPITAL letters. Then in your lyrics, capitalize a different word. And the thread continues... (Sort of like this thread. But they don't necessarily follow the rules (CAPITAL or bold words)). Let's follow the rules - one point for every word you get (keep your own score) - AND if you post a song that has the same PHRASE (like the words preceding/following the CAPITALized word, give yourself a point for every word.) It can be any type of song - rock, oldie, folk, standard, even a Christmas carol or hymn (and, yes, even Dylan) - but something we should all know. (Also, give yourself another point if you post a different song by the same artist/group.) Check that other thread for examples - but don't use it to cheat! You are too original for that! (Also, you know better than to capitalize a word that is not found in any other song!) I'll start: Well, I'm a STANDING on a corner in Winslow, Arizona and such a fine sight to see It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford slowin' down to take a look at me (Eagles) (Follow with another song that has the word "standing" in it, and capitalize a different word in your lyrics. Lets go!) |

This is the first one I thought of, from long-ago church camp,
"It's a-me, it's a-me, it's a-me, oh Lord,
standin' in the need of prayer.
Not my brother or my sister, but it's me, oh Lord,
standin' in the NEED of prayer."
That's an easy one; there should be another post real soon.

Can we use a form of the word, i.e. "Brazilian"?

Tonight, Lirio, the only song I can think of that comes close is James Taylor's "Only a Dream in Rio." It's got the word "Brazilian" in it. (Beautiful song, too.) Maybe in the morning I can think of a song with "Brazil" in it. Maybe it's so obvious I'll be embarrassed that I couldn't think of it tonight! (Should I search the B.D. lyrics? ) |

Well, you have to just remember the Terry Gillam movie! The song is from the late 30's, I think:
Brazil, where hearts were entertaining June
We stood beneath
an amber moon
And softly murmured "Someday soon"
We
kissed and clung together
Then, tomorrow was another
day
The morning found me miles away
With still a
million things to say
Now, when twilight dims the sky
above
Recalling thrills of our love
There's one
thing I'm certain of
Return I will to old Brazil
Then, tomorrow was another day
The morning found me
miles away
With still a million things to say
Now,
when twilight dims the sky above
Recalling thrills of our
love
There's one thing that I'm certain of
Return I will to old Brazil
That old Brazil
Man,
it's old in Brazil
Brazil, Brazil

Good call on BRAZIL, danno. I was stumped.
Assuming singular is OK:
Thrill me, Thrill me
Walk me down the lane where shadows
Will be, will be
Hiding LOVERS just the same as
We'll be, we'll be
When you make me tell you I love you
Mel Carter - "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me"

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile.
While you've a lucifer to light your fag,smile boys that's your style;
What's the use of worrying, it never was worthwhile;
So pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and
Smile, smile, SMILE.

You'll get by,

Rows and flows of ANGEL hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

Prisoners of the heart
In search of love and PEACE
Hung in desperation
Longing for release
I am just a traveller
Angel, you're my ride
Take me past the place I passed
The last time that I died
Angel, spread your wings
I want to fly away with you
Take me in your arms
I know you're dying to
Fly away forever

Peace is flowing like a river,
flowing out of you and me,
Peace is flowing like a RIVER,
setting all the captives free.

Oh boatman,
I am the river,
I am the mountain and the sea.
Oh boatman,
taker and giver,
can you deliver me?
I would forever run FREE.

Hey wouldn't you wanna know
Everywhere that river flows to right now
I can show you how
'Cause someday you might wanna go
Someday you got nothing to show
For all your pain
For all your CHAINS
I ain't saying it's the only way
But wouldn't you like to know
How it feels to live
Like a free man
To give
When there's nothing in your hand . . .
-- Angie Aparo

(this one's mine, I just know it)
I miss her lips and the smile on her face
The touch of her hair and this girl's warm embrace
So if you don't wanna cry like I do
A-keep away from-a run-around SUE.

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know
That when she left that day
ALONG with her she took my heart
