Title: Lyrics
Post by: capt. apathy on March 02, 2003, 07:21:50 PM: I liked the 'guess the song' thread from a couple of days ago. I lost track of where we where at when it degenerated into a ‘rap sucks’ debate though.

So let’s try again.

I’ll start it off with an older one

   And the gold rolled through his veins
   Like a thousand railroad trains
   And eased his mind in the hours that he’d chose
   While his kids ran ‘round wear’n other peoples’ clothes

Post by: Octavius on March 02, 2003, 11:25:46 PM: Funny that song came up... I just watched Easy Rider this weekend :)

Thinking how it used to be,
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again?
And I do.

Damnation as their load!

The song is "Harold Land" by Yes.

I saw Yes open for Jethro Tull in 1971 for $4.50. What a show!

When I was Young
Title: Lyrics
Post by: midnight Target on March 03, 2003, 10:23:26 AM: Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Title: Lyrics
Post by: Octavius on March 03, 2003, 10:51:08 AM: My Back Pages

"Hello woman of my dreams
This is not the way it seems
Purple words on a grey background
To be a woman and to be turned down"

Title: Lyrics
Post by: midnight Target on March 03, 2003, 11:01:06 AM: should be easy---

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air
Title: Lyrics
Post by: 2stony on March 03, 2003, 11:43:46 AM: I believe that Octavius was the last winner and should be posting his lyrics. Unless, of course, he defers to someone else.

In the dark
And the clouds burst
To show the daylight

Post by: Horn on March 03, 2003, 11:51:42 AM: "She looked over at me with a glazed eye And some bovine perspiration on her upper lip area

And she said...

Just get me wasted
An' you're half-way there
'Cause if my mind's tore up
Then my body don't care
I rubbed my chinny-chin-chin
An' said my-my-my
What sort of thing
Might this lady get high upon?"
