Thread consisting entirely of song lyrics

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Can we make a thread make sense with just lyrics? Here is your starter for 10:

Woke up one morning half asleep with all my blankets in a heap

Edited to clarify intention.

[atila the gooner]

I can't go for that, no can do!!!

[Brendan]

As I stumbled through last night?s drunken debris

[spadetownboy]

under the moon of love

[Annasfield]

and yellow roses scattered all around

[Brendan]

And I thought to myself

What a wonderful world

[bagpuss78]

I'm a little pea

[mockney piers]

where there's music and there's people who are young and alive

[atila the gooner]

She's a rich girl, she don't try to hide it, she's got diamonds on the soles of her shoes. He's a poor boy empty as a pocket witth nothing to lose. ( The brilliant Paul Simon)

[Jah Lush]

Rocks Off - The Rolling Stones

I hear you talking when I'm on the street,

Your mouth don't move but I can hear you speak.

What's the matter with the boy?

He don't come around no more,

Is he checking out for sure?

Is he gonna close the door on me?

And I'm always hearing voices on the street,

I want to shout, but I can't hardly speak.

I was making love last night

To a dancer friend of mine.

I can't seem to stay in step,

'Cause she come ev'ry time that she pirouettes over me.

And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming,

I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.

I'm zipping through the days at lightning speed.

Plug in, flush out and fire the fuckin' feed.

Heading for the overload,

Splattered on the dusty road,

Kick me like you've kicked before,

I can't even feel the pain no more.

But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming,

I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.

Feel so hypnotized, can't describe the scene.

Feel so mesmerized all that inside me.

The sunshine bores the daylights out of me.

Chasing shadows moonlight mystery.

Headed for the overload,

Splattered on the dirty road,

Kick me like you've kicked before,

I can't even feel the pain no more.

But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming,

I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.

Taking a leaf out of Jah's book here, this is a wonderfully crafted, beautifully worded song.

artist: Paul Simon lyrics

title: Rene And Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After The War

album: Hearts And Bones

(Paul Simon)

Rene and Georgette Magritte

With their dog after the war

Returned to their hotelsuite

And they unlocked the door

Easily losing their evening clothes

They dance by the light of the moon

To The Penguins

The Moonglows

The Orioles

and The Five Satins

The deep forbidden music

They'd been longing for

Rene and Georgette Magritte

With their dog after the war

Rene and Georgette Magritte

With their dog after the war

Were strolling down Christopher Street

When they stopped in a men's store

With all of the mannequins

Dressed in the style

That brought tears to their

Immigrant eyes

Just like The Penguins

The Moonglows

The Orioles

and The Five Satins

The easy stream of laughter

Flowing through the air

Rene and Georgette Magritte

With their dog apres la guerre

Side by side

They fell asleep

Decades gliding by like Indians

Time is cheap

When they wake up they will find

All their personal belongings

Have intertwined

Rene and Georgette Magritte

With their dog after the war

Were dining with the power elite

And they looked in their bedroom drawer

And what do you think

They have hidden away

In the cabinet cold of their hearts?

The Penguins

The Moonglows

The Orioles

and The Five Satins

For now and ever after

As it was before

Rene and Georgette Magritte With their dog

After the war

It's your life, and you can do what you want, do what you like, but please don't keep me waiting!! ( The imperious Kinks from their heyday in the 60T's)

I'm feeling supersonic, give me gin and tonic

I'm feeling supersonic, give me gin and tonic

[Brendan]

Coz the drugs don?t work.

[Jah Lush]

Sorry, that'll be me then.

Start again.

If I had to fall on my head every night of the week

it's gonna be my fault, no one else.

And it stoned me to my soul

I am the eggman

So you can go, if you want to,

I don't own you, go be wild!!
