Person #1 posts a quote from a song, then person #2 posts the name of the song, then posts another quote.

I'll start:

"My boat sails stormy seas
Battles oceans filled with tears
At last my port’s in view
Now that I’ve discovered you"

The Moody Blues - For my lady


"I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light"</pre>

I Will Remember by Sarah McLachlan

Irish Drinking song by Flooging Molly



"He said you're really an ugly girl
But I like the way you play
And I died
But I thanked him
Can you believe that
Sick holding on to his picture
Dressing up every day"

Precious Things,Tori Amos?


I don't know what's worth fighting for

or why I have to scream

i don't know why I instigate

and say what I don't mean

Breaking the Habit - Linkin Park



When I sit and think of the days we shared
and the nights you covered for me
Every little thing that I ever did
You would stand by me
Everytime you cried it would take my wind
My heart would break
If I could be strong like you were for me
You are my faith

How's this for a lil fun...this just like the famous movie quote thread. I'll post lyrics...and the next person guesses song and band then and so on..

EX:

Lyrics:
Since I was born they couldn't hold me down
Another misfit kid, another burned-out town

Never played by the rules I never really cared
My nasty reputation takes me everywhere

I look and see it's not only me
So many others have stood where I stand
We are the young so raise your hands


Song: Youth Gone By Wild Skid Row

Got it? LOL of course ya do..

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rule and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
This is sooo easy....or is it? :p

Yeah, uh, what, uh, yeah, uh
hey yo you can hit the dance floor now, you ain't gotta wait
we can take this outside, you ain't gotta hate
this here is a family affair, the family is here
everybody put your hands in the air
we don't need no haten or rachen
somebody better calm duke down cause the eight'll lace him
while your waitin get it perculatin
love to smoke previlly purple hazen
sharp as a buck fifty
doing my dance, and honey mad cause she can't keep up with me
but still banging em, sogging em, still robbing em
and the whole world knows Kiss is a problem
but I ain't come to fight, I came to have fun tonight
and hit more then one tonight
get crunk from begenning to end

and now we'll continue the thread from here, with ane's contribution:

You would stand by me
Everytime you cried it would take my wind
My heart would break
If I could be strong like you were for me
You are my faith
take it from there....

Cure - My Tragedy

Lights go out and I can’t be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have bought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead
Singing....

It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind

New York State of Mind - Billy Joel

You tell me there's an angel in your tree
Did he say he'd come to call on me
For things are getting desperate in our home
Living in the parish of the restless folks I know

Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep

Elton John - Burn Down the Mission



"Just the other day

I was walking by myself

Little kids at play

Old man talking to himself

I went outside to get a drink

Sat down by the door to think

Out of the corner of my eye

Caught a glimpse of the superspy

When he saw me look his way

He jumped down that alley way"</pre>

Save Ferris - Superspy

If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
And if I get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk

If I need some other love
Give me more than I can stand
And when my smile gets old and faded
Wait around I'll smile again

Matchbox 20 - BENT

"I don’t need a whole lots of money,
I don’t need a big fine car.
I got everything that a man could want,
I got more than I could ask for.
I don’t have to run around,
I don’t have to stay out all night.
’cause I got me a sweet ... a sweet, lovin’ woman,
And she knows just how to treat me right."

Some Kind of Wonderful by Grand Funk Railroad

Finally I figured out,
But it took a long long time
Now there's a turnabout,
Maybe cause I'm tryin'
There's been times, I'm so confused
Down my road, will it lead to you?
Just can't turn and walk away

Sister Hazel

Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?

Dig for gold
Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?

King Nothing by Metallica

We didn’t know that times were lean
Round our house the grass was green
It didn’t seem like things were all that bad
I bet we walked a thousand miles
Chopin’ cotton and pushin’ plows
And learnin’ how to give it all we had.
