Palm Springs.........WOW........sounds great.......can I become your friend? So you can invite me over?
Well have a great vacation! I'll put in a new one for you Randy.......I think you'll like this one too!

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

Kathie

Led Zeppelin

Stairway to Heaven

:cool:

Who doesn't know that one???????????? Classic!
:band:

Lisa

10-20-2002, 12:32 AM

Yess.........and we have a winner: Kathie!!

It sure is a classic one, and beatifull too........I believe Kipp's a great Led Zepplin fan, he wears that Led Zepplin t-shirt on several occasions!!

Well Kathie, it's your turn, give us those lyrics............:wave:

Kathie

10-20-2002, 05:03 AM

:wave:

OK...another classic hit, too easy :D

...Move me on to any black square,
Use me any time you want...

Lisa

10-20-2002, 01:47 PM

Hi Kathie,

was thinking all day.....singing....thinking....and then.......

YES...MOVE ON.....but not completely sure.....

Kathie

10-20-2002, 02:42 PM

Yes! It's Yes, Lisa. :D

Close on the song title, there are actually two titles for this song and you've gotten part of one title right.
Maybe this will help the rest of the title pop into focus:

:headphone
...Just remember that the goal
Is for us all to capture all we want
(Move me on to any black square)
Yea, yea, yea.

Don't surround yourself with yourself,
Move on back two squares,
Send an Instant Karma to me,
Initial it with loving care...

:headphone

Hi kathie

I think it's Yes with I've seen all good people/ your move

( I'm not sure about it, but that's what we figure out last night during our work, kept us verry busy :D :D :D
You can see we worked verry hard during our nightshift all my colleagues helped )

Of to bed now :sleeping:

Karin

Kathie

10-21-2002, 02:34 AM

:sing: 'Cause it's time, it's time in time with your time and its news is captured
For the queen to use.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda. :sing:

:cool: You did it, Karin! I now pronounce you lyrics queen! You have the honors to post more lyrics...when you wake up that is! :D

(So all that hard work with your colleagues paid off ;) )

kaja

10-21-2002, 05:09 AM

Thanks Kathie,

I'll pass the mesage on to all those lovely girls who helped :)
I slept a bit short, but well just one night to go so ....... I'll survive.
In the mean time the next song is keep on going in my head,and for the first time since weeks no Venice :o

So here are the lyrics:

Underneath this canopy of snow
where fifty-seven winters
took their toll
where did you go?

good luck

Karin

Lisa

10-21-2002, 08:54 AM

Geen idee..........oh sorry.......no idea.......

Clue? Hint?

kaja

10-21-2002, 09:19 AM

Hi Lisa,

You've got no idee...
girl I'm realy disappointed.
I realy expected you're the one who'll guess this one, you realy know so much about lyrics :up:

Me, I've always have to get some help, even with the ones I know(my age/memory ;) )

Come on girl don't wait till "heaven" :eyebrow:
I'm sure you know..........

Karin

Lisa

10-21-2002, 10:02 AM

:( I really really really don't have a clue..................

kaja

10-21-2002, 10:20 AM

Oh well, mabey this one is not as well known as the others of them.

It's "Angel" of the Eurythmics.
It's a great song!!!!!!

I'll give you another one:

Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control
it begins with your family, but soon it comes round your soul
Well I've been where you're hangin
I think I can see how you're pinned
When you're not feeling holy
you're loneliness says that you've sinned.

Come on Lisa I know for sure you can do this one

Good luck :up:

Karin

Lisa

10-21-2002, 10:55 AM

Ooohh yes........I should have known that one.....still have the old vinyl album of the Eurytmics......AAARRRGGGHHHH...;)

Lisa

10-21-2002, 01:14 PM

Karin :confused:
I've lost my lucky "lyrics-sight"...........searching for it. Untill I've found it I still don't have a clue on these lyrics....

Kathie

10-21-2002, 02:44 PM

Oh hey...I thought we weren't supposed to use sites to help us!? :) :) ;)

In that case, I found the title and a couple of artists who have covered this song... but since I had help, I don't want to say...unless no one else comes up with it!

Or if Karin says it's cool.
:wave:
Kathie

kaja

10-21-2002, 10:14 PM

Hi Lisa, Hi Kathie, Hi everybody,

Lucky site? :nono:
I realy thought you were the best Lisa :D :D :D

Help?
Of course you may use some help, so did I yesreday night remeber :o

But I'll give you a clue.
This guy is covered regular, he's one of the old ones!!!!!
I didn't hear from him for several years but last year he came with a new album and this year with the essentials.

So come on girls, who is this guy?

I'm sure you know or else it's an oh yeah again. ;)
So go for it................

:wave:
Karin

Lisa

10-22-2002, 07:45 AM

Ha ha ha ladies, please................I don't mean using a site........I wrote..."sight"........like in seeing, visioning..........most of the times get the lyrics at once.........
I wouldn't even know how to find lyrics on a site??

Well, Karin.......I'm going to break my head on this one. Working tonight, so, maybe someone will beat me to it.

But no ladies.......I don't use site's..........I just use my "lyrics-Xray-SIGHT"......hihihirotfl

Lisa

10-22-2002, 07:49 AM

Old ones..........let's guess a bit.......

David Bowie?
Leonard Cohen?
What;s his name...."The Hirricane" singer?

Clues, clues.............

Kathie

10-22-2002, 08:09 AM

rotfl OH! yes you did write sight and not site! sorry 'bout that Lisa! :)

I know how to find lyrics sites...but I don't (and won't) use them to answer any lyrics here...but, for the rare times I have good sight and get the answer first, I'll use them for a quick cut and paste of lyrics I get to post! hehehe

BTW, Lisa...I think Karin would be proud...you've gotten the name right....question is which name???? :D ;) ;)

kaja

10-22-2002, 08:21 AM

Hi ladies,

This is fun :D

But Kathie why don't you give Lisa a hand? ;)

It seems to me you know the answer, come on girl.......
I know you can do it :up:

Kathie

10-22-2002, 08:48 AM

Hi Karin...well, I do know the answer...but only because I cheated with site help after I saw Lisa's post thinking she had a lucky site. :) LOL

I didn't have the kind of help you had, with colleagues, so I don't feel right about saying the answer. :)

But, I'll help Lisa (or anyone else) out this much...Leonard Cohen and here's a few more lyrics :)

:sing:
Oh the _______ __ _____, they are not departed or gone.
They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on.
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song.

kaja

10-22-2002, 09:02 AM

Hi Kathie,

There aren't that many Venicians online, so you can best give the answer.
Lisa is working tonoght so .................... :D

About the cheating rotfl , I don't mind.

Karin says it's oke to give the answer, cool as you put it earlier ;)

Give me some lyrics girl, I want to guess again, although that's not my strongest side :eek:

By the way, is there a change you're on MSN?

:wave:

Karin

Kathie

10-22-2002, 12:39 PM

rotfl rotfl Karin...you must be bored at work today! :D

OK the title was Sisters of Mercy! (tada! :D)

I did have a MSN account, just closed it yesterday. We are on AOL, but are switching to cable...ummm, that's as soon as I install it....just picked up the kit today and it will probably take me three weeks to figure it out! Where is Randy when I so badly need him???? LOL rotfl ;)

OK, here are new lyrics for you to keep you from being bored at work! :D

:sing:
...If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand...

I don't know how popular this band is there...this was a big hit a few years ago

Good luck! :D

kaja

10-22-2002, 09:58 PM

Hi Kathie,

I've got no idea :confused:
(I've got some days off you know )
I think I'm gonna ask Lisa to use her "sight" :D :D :D
Maybe that'll help ;)

So Lisa or anyone else ( spanx seems to know a lot of lyrics too)
give me a hand

:wave:

Karin

Lisa

10-22-2002, 10:30 PM

Hi Kathie,
Noop.......those lyrices don't ring any bells in my head, and my "lyrics-sight".......well I'm blind for this one.......

Maybe it is a band that didn't do well overseas..........

Kathie

10-23-2002, 02:37 AM

Maybe it is a band that didn't do well overseas...OK, here's a hint on the band's name...

rhymes with greed

Does that help? :)

Lisa

10-23-2002, 02:54 AM

No:(

kaja

10-23-2002, 03:26 AM

are they eatable? :eyebrow:

randyc

10-23-2002, 08:48 AM

Creed?

Kathie

10-23-2002, 10:35 AM

Creed is correct...got the song title Randy?

:)

randyc

10-23-2002, 01:03 PM

Arms Wide Open.

New one:

It's poetry in motion
She turned her tender eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony

Should be easy.

Kathie

10-23-2002, 01:07 PM

She Blinded me with Science...but I can't think who sang it. Some dorky looking guy? :confused:

Lisa

10-23-2002, 01:51 PM

Thomas Dolby's the dorky guy........

How was your holiday Randy?

Here are some new lyrics:

"Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find ya
Day after day on that windy road I had walked behind ya "

Very easy lyrics.............

Lisa

10-23-2002, 01:56 PM

Come on Randy.......I saw your on-line.......I just have this feeling that you know this one?

randyc

10-23-2002, 02:09 PM

Too easy! :)

First, my holiday was grand. Very nice. Lots of luxury. Tennis courts and golf courses. Lot of nice meals. Massages. Great weather in Palm Springs.

It's easy for me, but I am not sure for many. I listened to that album a million times as a youngster.

"Easy Living" by Uriah Heep. I loved "The Wizard".

randyc

10-23-2002, 02:12 PM

Going back some years...

"Then the door burst open wide, and my daddy stepped inside, and he kissed my mama's face…"

Lisa

10-23-2002, 02:13 PM

Hi Randy.......I knew it........it's your turn.
(My vinyl version of the Wizard has really turned grey.........halleluja for the CD invention.......got all my Uriah Heep and Pink FLoyd stuff on CD now.......aahhh....timeless)

Come on, give us some new lyrics.........;)

Lisa

10-23-2002, 02:16 PM

Hihi...........please give me more...........this was "Paper Lace" - "Night Chicago Died".......

Try again..........

randyc

10-23-2002, 02:51 PM

A favorite of mine:

When you're walking slowly to the car
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold november air
You hear the tolling bell
And touch the silk in your lapel
And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band
You take her frail hand
And hold on to the dream

randyc

10-23-2002, 11:34 PM

Alternate (easier) lyrics:

"There's no time to lose", I heard her say.
Cash your dreams before they slip away.

kaja

10-24-2002, 12:28 AM

Hi Randy,

Nice to have you online again, did you enjoy your holiday???

The lyric is probable a oh yeah one, but I've got no idea yet :(
And Lisa, Kathie or someone else ain't there to give me a hand.

So please, please, please give me a clue.
Otherwise I'll have to work my brains out whole day ;)

:wave: Karin

Su2000

10-24-2002, 12:37 AM

Answer to last lyrics post from Randy:

Ruby Tuesday?

kaja

10-24-2002, 12:50 AM

Hi Su,

I knew it was an Oh yeah one.........
Ruby Tuesday it is from the Stones..
Marianne Faitfull did this one too.

So you can put another lyric on :up:

:wave: Karin

Su2000

10-24-2002, 02:25 AM

Here's a new one:

A little old town in Tennessee
A quiet little community
A one-horse town
You have to watch what you're putting down

No clues yet.....

Su:wave:

Kathie

10-24-2002, 08:12 AM

:o
I should know this one since I live 45 miles from Tennessee! :o

OK...Dolly Parton is from there...could it be a song by her?

kaja

10-24-2002, 09:08 AM

I hope not.
Dolly isn't my stile and I can forget figure this one out then rotfl

:wave:

Matt Levitz

10-24-2002, 09:20 AM

Well yes, when there are horses in town, you definitely want to watch what you're putting down. Especially if it's your foot into a pile. :shocked:

Lisa

10-24-2002, 09:36 AM

Nutbush - Tina Turner.............(I know this one by heart, sing it every week with my own band)........love that song!!!!!

OK, here's the next one:

You saw me standing by the wall corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun so you're looking for the thrill
and you know just what it takes and where to go.

Clue: 80's Brit Pop

kaja

10-24-2002, 09:36 AM

ehhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I'm realy :shocked:

I've got to watch my step then don't I rotfl

kaja

10-24-2002, 09:59 AM

Yeah I know this one

Duran Duran save a prayer.

Ehh but I guessed wrong before so I start to doubt now

:wave:

Lisa

10-24-2002, 10:07 AM

Karin.............:up: :up: :up: :up:

Thats right! It's your turn (I'm going offline....also on the MSN....son needs his mommy......)

kaja

10-24-2002, 10:12 AM

Here's another one.

He went to fight wars
for his country and his king
of his honor and his glory
The people would sing

clue: this one hit de US charts in the 70s

:wave:

randyc

10-24-2002, 12:14 PM

I am lucky man for having that as one of my favorite songs.

Emerson Lake and Palmer. Lucky Man. I used to love all their stuff. Specially Jeruselum. Lucky Man. Look at Yourself. Karn Evil #9.

sigh.... memories

kaja

10-24-2002, 12:56 PM

Hi Randy,

This one brings back a lot of good old memories doesn't it.
sigh ... uhmmmm well you're right :up: :up: :up:

So you're turn again.........
Stay a bit in the 70s, so I can take another trip to memory lane

:wave: Karin

randyc

10-24-2002, 01:12 PM

Hmmm...

Just like an old time movie
about a ghost from a wishing well.
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
with chains upon my feet.

Kathie

10-24-2002, 01:21 PM

nice to see you again :D

:wave:

Kathie

10-24-2002, 03:13 PM

:wave: Karin! Nice to see you too! I kept to the 70's here again, just for you! :D

:sing:
Well I know it wasn't you who held me down

Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free

So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains

And we never even know we have the key
:sing:

randyc

10-24-2002, 03:24 PM

Funny how the words start to bring it back...little by little I can hear a melody.

Peaceful, Easy Feelng. Eagles!

OOps....

I can hear the song in my head...

Wait....

randyc

10-24-2002, 03:30 PM

ALREADY GONE

(now my brain hurts... and I am spent)

randyc

10-24-2002, 03:31 PM

Something a little harder. You have heard, but it's harder to know from the lyrics.

I try to sleep
They're wide awake
They won't let me alone
They don't get paid to take vacations
Or let me alone
They spy on me
I try to hide
They won't let me alone
They persecute me
They're the judge and jury all in one

Kathie

Cheap Trick - If you want my love (that was a big clue, Randy !!)

spanx

10-25-2002, 01:17 AM

I guess Randy's already on one ear now (asleep), so assuming my guess was right (pull me back if it's not !!) here's another one:

Where have you been ?
It's allright we know where have you been.
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time
Provided with toys and "Scouting for Boys"
You bought a guitar to punish your ma
And you didn't like school
And you know you're nobody's fool
So ....

I kept it in the 70's.
:wave:

Kathie

10-25-2002, 01:58 AM

PINK FLOYD!!!! (sorry, I shouted! :) ) Love them...love this song...now what the heck is the title! LOL

....................... :confused:

Those 70's seem sooooooooo far away!

Oh! Yes!

Welcome to the Machine

:wave:

spanx

10-25-2002, 02:15 AM

Yeah I also love this song, in fact the whole album (specially the lyrics), so you may shout all you want ;)
Your turn !!

Kathie

10-25-2002, 02:51 AM

OK, moving it back up to the present...should be easy...whoever gets it go ahead and post the next song, since I'll be out most of the day and not able to give the :up:

:sing:...I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see...

kaja

10-25-2002, 10:05 AM

according to radio2 here I'm still in the 70s, so any clue Katie?????

:wave: Karin

Kathie

10-25-2002, 10:19 AM

OK..more song lyrics...should really help, these are the first words to the song:

:sing: I'm not afraid, of anything in this world

You can do it Karin! :D

Su2000

10-25-2002, 11:01 AM

:wave: Karin

Su2000

10-25-2002, 11:43 AM

I'm pretty sure that I gave the correct answer. So I'll post a new one. Very easy!!!!

So many times, it happened too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

I think I'll be offline in a short while, so the one with the right answer can post a new one.

Su:wave:

kaja

10-26-2002, 01:02 AM

give us a clue Sue

:wave: Karin

Su2000

10-26-2002, 01:07 AM

Really? A Clue?

I can't give you one, because I'm off to my boxing-practise.

;)

Lisa

10-26-2002, 02:53 AM

Hihi Su.........such a good clue..........

Eye of the tiger - Survivor

Great song, but a bit of a "one-day-fly" as we dutchies say!!

OK, here some new ones:

So this ain't the end - I saw you again today
Had to turn my heart away
You smiled like the Sun - kisses for everyone
and tales - it never fails!

Kathie

10-26-2002, 04:11 AM

Heart!

Barracuda?

:wave: everyone!

Lisa

10-26-2002, 04:24 AM

Yes Kathie......it's Barracuda.............GREAT SONG!!!!!!!
(You guessed my heart song before didn't ya!!)

It's your turn.........

Kathie

10-26-2002, 05:16 AM

Guess it's easier for me to guess songs I've listened to many songs! I really like Heart. :)

More 70's lyrics:

:sing:Sometimes late when things are real
And people share the gift of gab between themselves
Some are quick to take the bait
And catch the perfect prize that waits among the shelves

Good luck!
Kathie

Lisa

10-27-2002, 10:35 AM

Oooh....that one took me some time...........

America - Tin Man (Great band!!)

Well now I'm pretty sure about that one, so here's a new one:

Have I doubt when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes

VERY EASY...........(bet you know it at once Kathie!!)

randyc

10-27-2002, 10:41 AM

Is that Annie Lennox?

Kathie

10-27-2002, 11:36 AM

No...I think it's Patti Smith/Bruce Springsteen???

Hold on...it's on the tip of my tongue! LOL :D

Because the Night?

Kathie

10-27-2002, 11:42 AM

OK, I've been singing those lyrics over and over...and yup, I think that I answered correctly!

I'm not 100% sure that Bruce joined her on that song, but I am pretty sure...so I'll leave that as my final answer! LOL

Great choice by the way, Lisa! :D

Lisa

10-27-2002, 10:35 PM

I knew it Kathie, your right again.................your turn!!
(Bruce never participated on that song as far as I know??!!)

:up:

Kathie

10-28-2002, 01:24 AM

:beer:

Hi Lisa! I remember having Patti Smiths vinyl and noticing that Bruce helped write it...but I still don't recall if he sang it. I think it was covered by another band a few years back also??

Well, on to more lyrics. Should be easy! :) I will be gone for many hours, so the winner can post new ones, please. :up:

Have a Happy one, all! :wave:

:sing:Man, it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
Well, I hear you whisper
And the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool

Eric Vollebregt

10-28-2002, 01:48 AM

:up:

Easy, Smooth Santana.

Here an old one :

He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords

Lisa

10-28-2002, 02:05 AM

Easy.........THE BEATLES - A day in the life.

Oke......some new ones:

Like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling
He could leave 'em to hang
Came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan

Eric Vollebregt

10-28-2002, 02:16 AM

And all my inhibitions
have disappeared without a trace
I'm glad I found
Somebody who I can rely on

Good luck:D

Nothing to remember, nothing to forget

All the things I detest
I will almost like

Anyone?

Please give me a clue?????????

Helga van Beers

10-30-2002, 03:47 AM

The band was quite popular in the eighties. Hadn't heard of them for years, but a while a go they made a come back.
Strange to see the same faces 20 years older.

Don't suppose this song was really a hit, but as I said, it's a beauty. Depends on your mood whether you like their music or not.
Good luck!

It's Depeche Mode - Somebody..............right??

Hi girls, that's the one indeed. Congratulations!
Beautiful song huh?

This is weird, two right answers almost at the same time.
But Karin was 2 minutes faster, so it's her turn now.

Hi Lisa,

Sory, but this one is for you ......................

She made me feel like I could
held my hand out, and let her take me
blind as a child
All I saw was the way that she made me smile
she made me smile

go for it...............

:wave: Karin

Lisa

10-30-2002, 07:36 AM

Hi Karin,

Thank You!!

It's the beautifull voice of.......Neil Diamond singing Shilo !!

Here's one for you:

You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who'da believed that you were part of a dream?
Now it all seems light years away

This artist has been away for some years but made a recent come back (was all over radio 2).........

Untill we meet again (here or MSN)

It sure was Barry Manilow..........Can't smile without you

Oh yeah.......oh well...........it's your turn!!!

kaja

10-31-2002, 11:14 PM

Hey Lisa,

****** I did know that one, why didn't I think of it :mad:

My brains don't function the way they should,( Dementie is vroeg dit jaar he) :D :D :D

But here's another one

And there was no sound at all
But the clock upon the wall
Then the doors bust open wide
and my daddy stepped inside
and he kissed my mama's face
And he bruched her tears away

This one shouln't be to hard.................

Wow, trying to catch up with all of the posts that I have missed I the last few days! OK, new lyrics: I'm not sure how big of a hit this was...but I am certain most Venice fans know this artist! :) Good luck!

:sing: The words had all been spoken
And somehow the feeling still wasn't right
And still we continued on through the night
Tracing our steps from the beginning
Until they vanished into the air
Trying to understand how our lives has led us there

Andrea Lagro

Kathie

11-01-2002, 02:09 PM

Andrea, maybe more lyrics from the same song will help... :)

How long have I been sleeping
How long have I been drifting alone through the night
How long have I've dreaming I could make it right
If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might
To be the one you need...

You can do it! PS. At least one of the band members really like this artist!

Lisa

11-01-2002, 02:43 PM

Hi Kathie,

Is it a Jackson Brown song??

Kathie

11-01-2002, 10:36 PM

Jackson Browne it is, Lisa! :) :)
Song is the title cut from one of his older albums...think mid 70's...one of your favorite eras! ;) :wave:

Lisa

11-01-2002, 11:40 PM

Yep.........It's "Late for the sky".........

Beatifull music and song too........his voice sounds so much like Kipp's voice doesn't it (They even look-a-like).

We'll thanks again Kathie for reminding me of those beautifull songs!

Here's a new one:

The years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads

Bet you know this one Kathie!!

Kathie

11-02-2002, 04:41 AM

Bob Seger...but the title is not coming! :confused:

Argh! LOL

It sure is Bob Seger............don't think too difficult, if's one of his biggest hits!

Yes, it was a huge hit...I still can't think of the title though!!! ARGH!

Maybe another cup of coffee will help me... :)

11-02-2002, 05:29 AM

Hi Kathie,

Did you enjoy your coffee?
The song is .............. Against the wind.
Just gave you a hand, so you can give us another lyrics.

Kathie

11-02-2002, 06:17 AM

Thanks Karin! Gosh, now it seems soooo easy!! How could I not have known it??? LOL

For your help,I think you should post the lyrics...but I will do them now for you... :)

:sing:If you wake up and don't want to smile,
If it takes just a little while,
Open your eyes and look at the day,
You'll see things in a different way...

Should be easy, but just in case...Former US President Clinton used this as his campaign song, and Venice has covered this bands songs...gosh, now it will probably be too easy! I will be away from the computer for a few hours, go ahead and post new lyrics when you get this one! :) :wave: OH, coffee was good! :)

To keep your life in view

Another one of those beautiful songs IMHO..

you have to go down quite a bit for this one...

Out there panic and alarm
Black shades gather in the distance
Looks like it won't take long.

Arno

Lisa

11-03-2002, 12:32 PM

11-04-2002, 09:29 AM

Sorry, maybe I've made things too difficult. Here's another lyric from the same band, diferent album. This one was quite a small hit in the Netherlands...

Walking 'round the room singing
Stormy Weather
at 57 Mt. Pleasant St.
Now it's the same room but everything's different
You can fight the sleep but not the dream
Things ain't cooking in my kitchen
Strange affliction wash over me
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
Couldn't conquer the blue sky

and when I said you have to go down, think of going south...

Success

You've got it right, I had just figured it out, but a bit to late :D
So give us another one would you..............

Arno Mooren

11-05-2002, 09:33 AM

Yeah the second one was 'Weather with You' from Crowded House, from their 'Woodface' album. The first, difficult one, was 'In The Lowlands' from the 'Temple of Low Men' album. So the hint of going down in the first question was about 'Low' and 'Down Under'.

I personally feel the music of Crowded House is quite alike Venice: strong melodies, strong guitar play, and nice harmonies. and, two brothers making music...

So Wilfred, give us another riddle...

Arno:wave:

wabspar

11-05-2002, 11:22 AM

OK, here it goes, this one should be easy, but that's my idea:

He made my daughter laugh, then we embraced
We never new what friends we had
Until we came to .....

I have seen this face a thousand times
Every morning of my life
But I never saw these eyes so clear
Free of doubt and pain.
Like..................................................

This band is from the UK.
The album was released in '94.
It's a story from the first song to the last.
On the last page of the inlay they give this advice:
"Play it Loud with the lights off"

Lisa

11-06-2002, 10:42 AM

Hi Sunchild.........poeh.........no idea.........is it an old band or are they "90's??

sunchild

11-06-2002, 11:22 AM

In a way they are two bands in one band, because they changed so much after the original singer left and another one took his place. It was so drastic even that there are two groups of fans: of the old band and of the new. This album is with the new singer. They are from Scotland although I'm not sure everybody knows that. They were really big in the eighties with the original singer (he had one or two hits after he went solo). Their music is a bit like the old Genesis but more rock-ish although I always find it hard to compare...
The name of the album is a synonym for the word "courageous".

Lisa

11-06-2002, 12:52 PM

Yes......now I know......it must be Marillion and the album is Brave.
It must be the song Made again???
I did like the band when Fish was still in it.................
Am I right?

It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility

This one must be easy!

Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonlight, rocking in the grain
Ain't no time to pack my bag, my foot's outside the door
I got a date, can't be late for the high hopes hailla ball

Clue:

The band is one of the favorites of at least two Venice members and is mentioned in most bio's. In this thread alone I've seen em twice.

The songtitle is a direct reference to the cruise.

I can't make it any easier..

No it's not my real name:p
My real name is Suzan but I forgot to put my name under my message:D

Well here it goes.........

Two weeks on they found it buried to the windshield in the sand
There inside lay Tony with a small revolver in his hand
The papers simply stated it must have been the drugs that drove him mad
And the neighbors speculated what could make a good boy go so bad
Well, it might have been the desert heat
It might have been the home he never had

Let's see if tou know this one:p

Greetz,

Suzan.

Kathie

11-13-2002, 04:04 PM

The reason I know this one though, he is a fave of mine! Just a few weeks ago, I think it was Spanx/Thomas and I, we hijacked this thread and chatted about this artist for a bit...oops...here I am about to hijack it again! :) sorry... :p

It's Dan Forgelburg...I have this album...Windows & Walls and the song is Tucson, AZ Gazette

Great choice, Suzan!

:sing:As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
You asked for the latest party
With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump
Dressed like a priest you was
Tod Browning's freak you was

This one is not submitted for the lyrics game, I just thiknk it's so funny.
Hope you like it:

Dear sir I write this note to you to tell you of me plight
And at the time of writing, I am not a pretty sight
Me body is all black and blue, me face a deathly grey
And I write this note to say why Paddy`s not at work today.

While working on the 14th floor, some bricks I had to clear
Now to throw them down from such a height, it was not a good idea
The foreman wasn`t very pleased, he being an awkward sod
He said I`d have to cart them down the ladders in me hod.

Now! Clearing all these bricks by hand, it was so very slow
So I hoisted up a barrel and secured the rope below
But in me haste to do the job, I was too blind to see
That a barrel full of building bricks was heavier than me.

So when I untied the rope, the barrel fell like lead
And clinging tightly to the rope I started up instead
Well I shot up like a rocket `til to my dismay I found
That halfway up I met the bloody barrel coming down.

Well the barrel broke me shoulder as to the ground it sped
And when I reached the top I banged the pulley with me head
Well I clung on tight, though numb with shock from this almighty blow
And the barrel spilled out half the bricks 14 floors below.

Now, when these bricks had fallen from the barrel to the floor
I then outweighed the barrel and so started down once more
Still clinging tightly to the rope, I sped towards the ground
And I landed on the broken bricks that were all scattered `round.

Well! I lay there groaning on the ground, I thought I`d passed the worst
When the barrel hit the pulley wheel and then the bottom burst
Well a shower of bricks rained down on me, I hadn`t got a hope
As I lay there moaning on the ground, I let go the bloody rope.

The barrel then being heavier, it started down once more
And landed right across me as I lay upon the floor
Well it broke three ribs and my left arm, and I can only say
That I hope you`ll understand why Paddy`s not at work today.
