The song lyrics thread has made me think that you guys might enjoy a game I've been playing on another board. Link the Lyrics is played with a series of excerpts from song lyric(s); the object is to post lyrics which duplicate a word or phrase included in the immediately preceding post.

So - if I posted the lyrics from You're Having My Baby [bushasuru emoticon], someone could follow with the lyrics from Baby, Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me [bushasuru-again e]. In posting lyrics, please ~

~ confine the lyrics to four lines or less, unless the song is out of copyright
~ boldface the linking word or phrase
~ identify the title of the song, and
~ identify the composer or first performer of the song

OK. Here we go.

Seventy six trombones caught the morning sun,
With a hundred and ten cornets right behind.
There were more than a thousand reeds springing up like weeds,
there were horns of ev'ry shape and kind.

There's no use in crying, it's all over
But I know there'll always be another day
Well my heart will rise up with the morning sun
And the hurt I feel will simply melt away

Why, Christine McVie

There'll always be an England
While there's a country lane,
Wherever there's a cottage small
Beside a field of grain.
There'll always be an England
While there's a busy street,
Wherever there's a turning wheel,
A million marching feet.

There'll always be an England -- Parker & Charles

Here's the moral of the story from the guy who knows:
I fell in love and my love still grows.
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say,
"A-keep away from-a runaround Sue."

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

James Taylor
Fire and Rain

Edit: Additional info: On October 20, 2001, in Madison Square Garden, a chilling prophetic accuracy came over this song as James Taylor, along with other rock, pop, and movie stars, entertained an audience of six thousand firefighters, police officers, emergency workers, and their families and thanked them for their dedication and hard work in the aftermath of September 11’s tragedy. Suddenly Suzanne was just one in over five thousand who died there in the attack on the World Trade Center, and it was the plans of a few terrorists that brought an end to her—and them—leaving a nation disoriented and distraught. Like James, we wrote down our feelings, but we didn’t know what to do with them.

Let me put back the full original post for you, that was mailed to my home address as with all my public repsonses here:

Unless I'm missing something, W'ON, you need to take a look at the rules here.

Funny how your antagonistic posts always seem to change after your targets see them. This is a fun thread.
What's your problem here?

Whit -- immediately after clicking of my original post I modified it to be more gentle to you -- surely you do not object to that? [Though I don't think the original was particular unkind or antagonistic.]

I do not see how your "Wild Thing" post links to the previous one (Hev's) under sparteye's rules -- nor how your prior "Any Old Kind of Day" post links up. Please illuminate me by PM. Thank you.

It's a long, long journey so stay by my side.
When I walk through the storm, you'll be my guide.

If they gave me a fortune, my pleasure would be small;
I could lose it all tomorrow and never mind at all.
But if I should lose your love, Dear, I don't know what I'd do,
For I know I'll never find another you.

it really easy for two people to respond to the same song, at almost the same time.. given the lag of our ISP's and modems, we might not be aware of it. it seem Whit, that you, like I, repsonded a 30 seconds or so after an other post. It doesn't take a genius to see which song you were responding too.., and that you were not ignoring anyone. just as i wasn't -- but i was the second responder (again, momemts after the first to The Falible Fiend. Fortunately, they realized i am also falible, and didn't chastize me!)

yes yes yes.

You are woman, I am man
You are smaller so I can be taller than
You are softer to the touch
It's a feeling I like feeling very much

You are Woman, I am Man

Can make my coffee percolate
I never dare
My cornet player man...

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you
to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman to me

A flower grows . . .

A candle glows . . .

The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And as I recall the moment of them all,
The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone

Thank You, thank you, thank you, Big Mary.
Thank you for what you done for me.
You'd be my woman, if you hadn't gone back to your use ta be.

Well, that's what comes of too much pills and liquor
But when I saw her laid out like a queen
She was the happiest corpse I'd ever seen

I didn't have to tell you I just broke down and cried
You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life
And I just can't remember why we said goodbye

Sometimes a bottle of perfume
flowers and maybe some lace
Men brought louise 10 cent trinkets
Their intentions were easily traced
And everybody knew at times she cried
Ah but women like Louise they get by

What happened to that funny face
My little tomboy now wears satin and lace
I can't believe my eyes you're just a teenage dream
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

If I should smile with sweet surprise
It's just that you've grown up before my very eyes
You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

Louise, The sweetest girl I'll ever know.
I'd walk from Chicago,
to the gulf of Mexico.
You know the night time is the right time,
to be with the one you love, you know when night comes Baby,
God knows, you so far away, Louise...

Oh I've seen fire and I've seen rain,
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end,
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend,
But I always thought I'd see you, baby, one more time again.

With a cinnamon girl.

You see us together, chasing the moonlight,

We were sailing along
On Moonlight Bay,
You could hear the voices calling,
They seemed to say,
"You have broken my heart,
Now don't go away,"
As we sang our old sweet song on Moonlight Bay.

Sunshine go away today,
I don't feel much like dancin',
Some man's gone and tried to run my life,
I don't know what he's askin'.

How much does it cost? (I'll buy it)
The time is all we've lost (I'll try it)
And he can't even run his own life,
I'll be damned if he'll run mine!

That I was right out of my head
He said I'd need treatment
But I'm not that easily led
He said I was the type
That was most inclined
When out of his sight
To be out of my mind
