I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map, And knew that somehow I could find my way back; Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too - So I stayed in the darkness with you

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You’ve come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

Hotel California - The Eagles

You know I used to see her, up the chapel, when she went to Sunday Mass.
When she'd go up up to receive I'd kneel down there and watch her pass.
The Glory of her ass.

Alatar and I posted at the same time so I'm just gonna go with his lyrics which are familiar but I'm at a loss :).

FYI, the Dune reference was from Fatboy Slim's Weapon of Choice.

And if you've never seen the video (wherein Christopher Walken displays his surprising dance skills) you haven't lived.

Angbasdil, I do know the song (and the video) – I even blasted out Fat Boy Slim’s greatest hits as I sped up the M40 only the other week - but I still wouldn’t have recognised the lyrics. :(

Alatar, I did read your thread: those lyrics would be from The Saw Doctor’s “I used to love her” – right? ;)



Next?

Sorry to derail but I know this is in another song and I have no idea who Harvey Danger is/are grr.

Blanking out on Ang's lyrics.

Hey! I know that one. Peter Gabriel, Big Time. I loved the videos from that album.

Ok, here’s mine:

“And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE?”

New lyric

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
The sinners are much more fun

I always liked this thread, so I thought I would bump it and since I can't answer Alatars, this is a [ img ] again. ;)

Here's a lyric from one of my most favorite songs ever :cool:


mess up my bed with me, kick off the covers, I'm waiting

I've just realized how stupid a choice of lyric I made there when I decided finally to stop listening to the artist on YouTube and actually look on amazon.com for an album..... only to find, she doesn't actually have an album of her songs out yet :oops:

The artist is Shuyler Fisk - known now for singing songs with Joshua Radin and for being Sissy Spacek's daughter - and the song was Paperweight.

Anyway, lyrics from a more known artist who actually has an album out :roll:
    • I climbed across the mountain tops
      Swam all across the ocean blue
      I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
      But baby I broke them all for you

I was completely unfamiliar with that song when you posted that lyric, Estel, but I've discovered it since.

It's "The Story" by Brandi Carlile.
(great song, BTW)

Next, a song I know you've all heard a million times...

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep fried chicken?

Train, Drops of Jupiter.

Excuse me while I think about the next clue and scramble some eggs. :)

EDIT: Chickety China, Chinese chicken, you have a drumstick and your brain starts ticking.
