Lyrical knowledge game

Here's a game my buddies and I play when drunk or excessively bored. Someone starts singing a song, and one of the key words in the lyrics sparks the lyrics of a different song. The rule is that there must be a common word between the two lyrics. Obviously, words like "is", "and", "the", "or".... automatic cause to be ridiculed as a brainless hack. Got it? If I start singing "Here comes the sun..." by the Beatles, then you are well within your rights to start singing "You are my sunshine...", but only if you can tolerate the uncontrolled laughter directed at you for actually singing that song while drunk and in public.

One more disclaimer, you DO NOT necessarily have to be drunk in order to play this game in this forum... but it helps... and feel free to try this while drinking with your friends in person.

Okay, any more questions? Good, let's see if anyone actually plays

"Did they get you to trade, a walk-in part in a war for the lead role in a cage."
-Pink Floyd

"I'll take what you're willing to give,
and I'll teach myself to live
with a walk-in part
of a background shot
of a movie I'm not in."

~ Blink 182, Apple Shampoo

"I choose to live and to
Grow, take and give and to
Move, learn and love and to
Cry, kill and die and to
Be paranoid and to
Lie, hate and fear and to
Do what it takes to move through."

~Tool Forty-Six & 2

When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)

~ Radiohead - paranoid android

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing
Will drive them away
We can be heroes
Just for one day

- David Bowie "Heroes"

we shall never find that happy land of might have been
i will never be your king, nor you shall be my queen
days may pass and years may pass and seas my lie between
we shall never find that happy land of might of been

and the days went by,
like paper in the wind.
Everything changed, and then changed again.
It's hard to find a friend,
it's hard to find a friend.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Just like a paper tiger
Torn apart by idle hands
Through the helter skelter morning
Fix yourself while you still can

I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

~Radiohead - The Pyramid Song.

You are my angel
Come from way above
To bring me love

- Massive Attack "Angel"

Come on, Come on, Come on
Get through it
Come on, Come on, Come on
Love's the greatest thing
Come on, Come on, Come on
Get through it
Come on, Come on, Come on
Love's the greatest thing
That we have
I'm waiting for that feeling
I'm Waiting for that feeling
Waiting for that feeling to come

Blur - Tender

You fell away,
What more can I say?
The feeling's evolved
I won't let it out
I can't replace
Your screaming face
Feeling the sickness inside

"System" - Chester Bennington

if i was naked and screaming
on your front lawn
would you turn on the light and come down
screaming, there's the asshole
who did this to me
stripped me of my power
stripped me down

Superhero - Ani DiFranco

you made me such an asshole...
i wish we never met.
i'm tired of being bored.
i'm through with the headaches at night
and my hands
they tremble like earthquakes.

-matt skiba

Goodbye and good luck to all the rubbish that you've spoken
Goodbye and good luck to all the promises you've broken
Your life has lost its dignity, its beauty and its passion
You're an accident waiting to happen

~ Billy Bragg "Accident Waiting To Happen"

I always wished to walk with her into restaurants,(A clammy tale)
To be seen beside her at the public bar foot rail
I always wanted to be matched with her
Yet her beauty was so different to mine
My "beauty" needs an understanding and a knowledge of what I am.
Hers is enough earned thru eons; for that is what true beauty is
Time's gift to perfect humility.

Pete Townshend - "Stop Hurting People"

Drinkin' for a livin',
that's just what I do.
When I'm not with you,
my heart goes to bed.

End of the bar,
That is where I'll be,
try and come find me,
'cause I'm already dead.

-Mad Caddies,
Drinkin for Eleven

didnt read the rules, hah

If you need me, I'll be at the bar...
Oh, I could drink a case of you
And I would still be on my feet

-Case of You, Tori Amos

Early in the morning,
rise into the street.
Light me up that cigarette
and I'll strap shoes on my feet.

-Sublime, What I Got

That one was too easy

Hehe... don't sweat it, Margot. Just bust a tune if you feel it. Participation in this game is voluntary... after all, rules are only rules if you follow them, right?

I woke up around ten o'clock in the morning
I gave myself a stretch and a morning yawn and
went to the bathroom to wash up
had some soap on my face and my hand upon a cup
I said, "um, mirror mirror on the wall
who is the top choice of them all?"
there was a rumble-tumble
five minutes it lasted
the mirror said "you are you conceited bastard!"

- Slick Rick, Ladi Dadi

The lord of water spoke
In the silence
Words of wisdom
I've seen the end of all
Be aware the storm gets closer

Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change

-Blind Guardian
