Maestro!

Here's the game. One person lists a couple of lines from a song (Any genre, preferably fairly mainstream, but feel free to throw in some Indy stuff too), and the next guesses it, and lists some lines of his own.

To start it off:

Goddess on the mountain top,
Burning like a silver flame...

Thats "Venus" by Bananarama.

I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you,
its hard to find relief, and people can be so cold...

some sort of linkin park song


'chechechechechcheck it out'

WRONG!

And thats "Ch-Check it Out!" by the Beastie Boys.

No ones guessed mine yet. LP wasn't close AT ALL! :mad2:

Should I know this, DMKA?

savage garden


'yesterday i woke up sucking on a lemon'

We should probably wait until we get confirmation that you are right, before you post the lines from another song.

Yeah its "Crash and Burn" by Savage Garden.

I don't know his though so go ahead.

Radiohead - "Everything in It's Right Place"

I have reasonable evidence that I'm right, so I'm going ahead.

When do the walls tumble down?
Into the sky, into the stars and the ground.

Awright foa...we have a stumper.

It's "Rules of Travel" - Roseanne Cash.

I'm awesome. :) Here's another one, hopefully easier.

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
They only answer "More! More! More!"

Creedence Clearwater Revival-Fortunate Son

"No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women, no fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark...."

The Vapors - Turning Japanese (LOVE that song!)

They print my message In the Saturday sun...
I had to tell them I ain´t second to none...

Michael Jackson - Black or White ( I really like that song and the video, specially the uncut version where he breaks the car windows in a sign of aggravation at racism or . . . I think that's why he did it. )

Drowning deep in my sea of loathing
Broken your servant I kneel

Disturbed - "Down With the Sickness"

If you could only read my mind
You would know that things between us
Ain't right
I know your arms are open wide
But you're a little on the straight side
I can't lie

Your one vice
Is you're too nice
Come around now can you see

The Offspring - I Want You Bad [img]http://home.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/heart.gif[/img]

Through the rainstorm came century,
and I felt my spirit fly,
I had found all of my reality,
I realized what it takes...

Seal - Love's Divine (ok - I cheated, I yahoo-d it, so sue me)

Here's one - it's sort of 'mainstream alternative'.

"Tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said
Man, it sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead
And i've get a message for you and your twisted hell"

I'm not 100% sure, but is it "Eternal Life" by Our Lady Peace? =\

Right song, wrong artist. Unless they covered it. :confused:

Original artist, please.

Jeff Buckley?

Bingo - your turn, unless someone else wants to jump in...

Don't fool yourself
She was heartache
From the moment
That you met her

My heart heals so still
As I try to find the will
To forget her somehow
I think I forgotten her now

Jeff Buckley - Forget Her

If I had balls, I'd flirt with ya'll in study hall do the geek talk until your eyes roll back into your skull but I'm a freak, spelled F-R-double-3-K.

edit: Fixed the lyrics.

MC Chris-Ratz

Her royal gown is a satin dress, that's stained, and slightly torn...

The title is Queen of the Silver Dollar, and it was originally written by poet Shell Silverstene, but I know a few different people have preformed, though I'm not sure of their names.

The song is right....now we just wait for the singer....

Emmylou Harris.

Really?!

Not the artist I had in mind, though....

...or should I say group?

Well I cheated and googled it. Even though Emmylou Harris is cool.

Giga has crazy music.

Awright, the band in mind was Dr. Hook.

I guess this is a toss up.

I say you go again, or dmka. CHOOSE INFIDELS.

I choose Dee. I gotta go find a really obscure song in the meantime.

Ok :D

When they stop and stare it don't worry me,
Cause I'm feeling for her what shes feeling for me,
I can try to pretend, I can try to forget,
But its driving me mad, going out of my head...

Ta Tu - All The Things She Said?

Yep, you got it. Your turn Omecle.

A heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide.

Radiohead - No Surprises.

Correct.

Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end
just like a memory it twists me.
Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end it
twiiiiiists (twisting me)

You land as lightly as the new snow (cinematic)
Onto the melting boy (and melt away)
You land as gently, you're so (cinematic)
Bathed in your radiance I melt.

AFI - This Celluloid Dream

Edit: Here's my next one.

Change everything you are
And everything you were
Your number has been called
Fights and battles have begun
Revenge will surely come
Your hard times are ahead

Best, you've got to be the best
You've got to change the world
And use this chance to be heard
Your time is now

Change everything you are
And everything you were
Your number has been called
Fights and battles have begun
Revenge will surely come
Your hard times are ahead

Best, you've got to be the best
You've got to change the world
And use this chance to be heard
Your time is now

Don't let yourself down
And don't let yourself go
Your last chance has arrived

Best, you've got to be the best
You've got to change the world
And use this chance to be heard
Your time is now

Muse - Butterflies and Hurricanes

She'll wash her hair...his dirty clothes...are all he gives to her,
and he's got pictures on the wall...of all the girls he wish she was,
and he means everything to her...

Flavor of the Week -- dunno the band name right now.

Ooo ooo that's Flavor of the Week by American Hi-Fi. My sister has that album and plays it in her car. I absolutely despise the song, but I know it.

:D Now, let's go with a classic.

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring.

So kiss me, and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go.

John Denver/Satan - Leaving on a Jetplane (its been done by too many people, but I assume you're talking about the horrid being that is John Denver)

Health insurance rip off lying FDA big bankers buying
Fake computer crashes dining
Cloning while they're multiplying
Fashion mag shoots with the aid of 8 dust brothers Beck, Hanson
Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson,
You're all fakes run to your mansions,
Come around we'll kick your ass in!

[EDIT]New Radicals-You Get What You Give

"She broke his heart,
He spent his whole life trying to forget,
We watched him drink his pain away, a little at a time,
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind..."

Brad Paisly - Whisky Lullabye

Oh once you get involved,
everyone will look this way so,
you must maintain your charm,
same time maintain your halo,

kelis - milkshake

Call me a cheapskate, come on for pete's sake
Cry agony Cry agony

Ack - saw them at Reading - can't remember what they're called.

...

...

That's the bunny - Billy Talent - 'Try Honesty'

I'm ahead, I'm a man, I'm the first mammal to wear pants, yeah,
I'm at peace with my lust, I can kill 'cause in God I trust,

Pearl Jam - Do the Evolution (the vid for that song KICKS ASS!) :love:

Dear I fear we're facing a problem,
You love me no longer, I know and,
maybe there is nothing that I can do,
To make you do...

Mama tells me I shouldn't bother,
That I ought just stick to another man,
A man that surely diserves me,
I think ya do...

The Cardigans - "Love Me, Love Me"

But man I can't live if I'm fearing life
I stood to the side for so long it seems right
When it comes to self loathing
I put in my time now I say

I don't need you or anything now
I'll give up when my sun rises down
As for now I can see I've become
One brief blinding glimpse of the sun

Acroma - Orbitals

So I guess the fortune teller's right
Should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light
Which crawled beneath my veins
And now I don't care
I had no luck
I don't miss it all that much

Wow, I didn't think anyone would get that one.

Natalie Imbruglia - "Torn"

Now I have to get harder.

Here we go, you're never gonna see me broken
Here we go, they're never gonna see me broken
Here we go, gonna keep my eyes opened
So tell me, who do you think you're defeating?

Lucky Boys Confusion - Broken (luv that one)

Sadness is beautiful,
Loneliness is tragical
So heal me,
I can't win this war,
Touch me now,
Don't bother,
If every second it makes me weaker,
You can save me from the man I've become...

>:-

Backstreet Boys - "Shape of my Heart"

we two dive in the mystical maze
unsolvable riddles waiting
love me now, or leave me in the dark
if you need me there's no need to cry for me
I'm in your eyes

Maze by Yuki Kajiura.

Edit: Here's mine, sorry forgot.

The cracks and lines from where you gave up
They make an easy man to read, oh
For all the times you let them bleed you
For little peace from God you plead, and beg
For little peace from God you plead

Mad Season - Wake Up

Oh so hold on the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
When you get old and start losing your hair
Can you tell me who will still care
Can you tell me who will still care, oh care

Hanson - "Mmmbop"

You're bringing back all my pre-teen years, dmka. CURSED NOSTALGIA.

I saw you walkin down the hall,
and I had a lot to tell you but I didn't
think you could say it better
You're good at makin' me feel so small
and I know you've made your point but
I just don't want to remember

Josh Kelly - Amazing

Althrough loneliness has always been a friend of mine,
I'm leaving my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
And how you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as you're here with me

EDIT: crap, you beat me to it. *waits*

EDIT 2: *answers*

Backstreet Boys - As Long As You Love Me

tough one now (maybe) :D

Kill me Sarah,
Kill me again with love

Radiohead - Lucky

I was at an all-night diner
The sign said XXX but they were talkin' bout root beer

Modest Mouse - All Night Diner

when we're pushing up daisies
we all look the same
in the name of the father maybe
but not in my name
