The Lion's Share Lyric Quiz - November 2009
My last couple of shows included a lot of holiday music. No, I don't mean the Christmas holidays (or whatever holiday around that time is preferred by your denomination); no, I was referring to Halloween. It's fun sometimes to see what kind of music I can come up with for any holiday or special day. Halloween is one that I can have more fun with. Like most holidays, Halloween seems to have developed a few 'standards', but in my typical fashion I tend to get off the beaten path and see what other.
I have a month to think about what songs from the Christmas holiday season to include in the quiz. For now, enjoy the November lyric quiz.
1
Girl, you're gettin' that look in your eyes
And it's startin' to worry me
I ain't ready for no family ties
Nobody's gonna hurry me
Answered by ravensmusings.
2
Ev'ry night I watch the lights from the house up on the hill
I love a little girl who lives up there and I guess I always will
But I don't dare knock on her door
'Cause her daddy is my boss man
quickcasey got the title. dhlawrence got the artist.
3
You're so good, when we make love it's understood
It's more than a touch or a word can say
Only in dreams could it be this way
Answered by calientra.
4
A woman on the radio talked about revolution
when it's already passed her by
Bob Dylan didn't have this to sing about you
You know it feels good to be alive
Answered by ravensmusings.
5
Are we really happy here with this lonely game we play
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding understanding anywhere
Answered by plonq.
6
A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you, shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora borealis comes in view, aurora comes in view
Answered by quickcasey.
7
And from the wreckage I will arise
Cast the ashes back in their eyes
See the fire I will defend
just keep on burnin' right to the end
Answered by calientra.
8
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
Answered by quickcasey.
9
How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
Answered by babygirl_ambi.
10
I put my hand on your stocking, I was movin' nice and slow
Let my fingers do the walking, and there ain't far to go
Don't tell me "I don't wanna be a girl like that"
Do you wanna see a grown man cry?
Answered by littlebittysami.
11
I see you, the only one who knew me
And now your eyes see through me
I guess I was wrong
Answered by babygirl_ambi.
12
From out of the east a stranger came
A law book in his hand
A man, the kind of a man the west would need
To tame a troubled land
dhlawrence got the title.
13
Come on you little fighter
No need to get uptighter
Come on you little fighter
And get back up again
Answered by sumatrae.
14
Be pompous, obese, and eat cactus
Be dull, and boring, and omnipresent
Criticize things you don't know about
Be oblong and have your knees removed
15
All I wish is to be alone
Stay away, don't you invade my home
Best off if you hang outside
Don't come in, I'll only run and hide
Answered by calientra.
16
Don’t come hangin’ around my door
I don’t wanna see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin’ old with you
Answered by quickcasey.
17
Memories consume like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
18
Tell me do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
And anyway I've got no place to go
quickcasey got the title.
19
Hey, well I'm the friendly stranger in the black sedan
Oh won't you hop inside my car?
I got pictures, got candy, I am a lovable man
I'd like to take you to the nearest star
quickcasey got the title. calientra got the artist.
20
Back through the years I go wonderin' once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use
Answered by calientra.
21
Been a whole lot easier since the bitch left town
Been a whole lot happier without her face around
Nobody upstairs gonna stomp and shout
Nobody at the back door gonna throw my laundry out
Answered by calientra.
22
Night and the spirit of life calling, Mamela
And the voice with the fear of a child answers, oh Mamela
Wait! there's no mountain too great
Hear these words and have faith
Answered by plonq.
23
Here's what we call our golden rule
Have faith in you and the things you do
You won't go wrong
This is our family Jewel
Answered by calientra.
24
Do you remember, your President Nixon?
Do you remember, the bills you have to pay
Or even yesterday?
quickcasey got the artist. Although he later got the title, calientra beat him to it.
25
There’s a gun and ammunition just inside the doorway
Use it only in emergency
Better you should pray to God, the Father and the Spirit
Will guide you and protect from up here
Answered by calientra.
26
Crying parents tell their children
If you survive don't do as we did
A son exclaims there'll be nothing to do to
Her daughter says she'll be dead with you
27
I know I've felt like this before, but now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
And then I open up and see the person falling here is me
A different way to be
Answered by plonq.
28
I've had nothing but bad luck
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came into you sweet lady
Answering your mystical call
plonq got the title. littlebittysami got the artist.
29
Sometimes there's one with big blue eyes, cute as a bunny
With hair down to here, and plenty of money
And just when you think she's that one in the world
Your heart gets stolen by some mousey little girl
dhlawrence got the title.
30
There is none so blind as he who will not see
We must not close our minds; we must let our thoughts be free
For every hour that passes by, we know the world gets a little bit older
It's time to realize that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder
Answered by calientra.
