Betsy suggested we start this game anew, so here's the steenkin' rulz:
A line (or two) of lyrics, followed by the name of the song and the performer or lyricist's name starts the game. The next to reply takes one (or two) words from that lyric and posts a line (or two) from another song that contains the same word (or two). And so on...
Here's the beginning lyric:
I don't know but I been told, a big-legged woman ain't got no soul.
-Black Dog by Led Zepplin

Soul love - the priest that tastes the word and
Told of love - and how my God on high is
All love - though reaching up my loneliness
evolves
By the blindness that surrounds him

No fair! I read Connie's initial post and prepared to respond with the following:
"Oh, I get the blues if the rhythm ain't got no soull
You got to keep it rollin'."
~Rollin', Garth Brooks
Then Maverick snuck in and posted first. Grrrr. Okay.
"The priest sat in the airport bar
He was wearing his father’s tie
And his eyes looked into my eyes so far
Whenever the words ran dry"
~The Priest Joni Mitchell

They, said some day you'll find
All who love are blind
When you heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed them, and I gaily laughed
To think they would doubt our love
And yet today, my love has gone away
I am without my love Smoke Gets in Your Eyes - The Platters (circa 1958) " So I chaffed them, and I gaily laughed" You seldom hear chaffing lyrics like that anymore.

"This is Major Tom to Ground Control I'm stepping through the door And I'm floating in a most peculiar way And the stars look very different today For here Am I sitting in a tin can Far above the world Planet Earth is blue And there's nothing I can do Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles I'm feeling very still And I think my spaceship knows which way to go Tell my wife I love her very much she knows" David Bowie, Ground Control to Major Tom

Worked all the summer, and worked all the fall
I had to take my Christmas, in my overall
But now she gone, and I don't worry
Because I'm sitting on top of the world
Goin' down to the freight yard, just to meet a freight train
I'm gonna leave this town, work's done got hard
But now she gone, and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world.

a dracula moon in a black disguise
was making its way back to its
pre-paid room at the St. Moritz Hotel (scat)
and the El train came tumbling across the trestles and it sounded
like the ghost of Gene Krupa

Said that I'm like fallin' from grace.
You'd never know it to look at me.
Under the Dracula moon.
Love comes down any way it wants to.
Doesn't ask for your permission.
Open up your arms or it will break you in two.

You're too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clock waits patiently on your song
You walk past the cafe but you don't eat when you've lived too
long
You're a rock 'n' roll suicide

I'll have a Blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmastree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me
I'll have a Blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

Where have all my friends gone, they've all disappeared
Turned around maybe one day you're all that was there
Stood by on believing, stood by on my own
Always thought I was someone, turned out I was wrong
You brought me through, and you made me feel
So blue
Why don't you
stay behind?

Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me
from The Glums

I still haven't got over it even now.
I want to spend huge amounts of time on my own.
I don't want to cause any serious damage.
I want to make sure that I can manage,
Because I'm not really in your head ,
I'm not really in your head.
And I see love and disaffection
And the clouds build up and won't pass over.
This is my road to my redemption.
And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway.

You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there`s diamonds and pearls in your hair
You live in a fancy appartement
Of the Boulevard of St. Michel
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
And a friend of Sacha Distel
But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head...
Peter Sarstedt ~ Where do you go to, my lovely?

She got to take sick and die one of these days
She got to take sick and die oh! one of these days
All the medicine I can buy, and all the doctors she can hire
She got to take sick and die one of these days
When she's dead I'm gonna bury her very deep
When she's dead I'm gonna bury her very deep
I'm gonna bury her very deep, rubies and diamonds round her feet
She got to take sick and die one of these days

One of these nights
One of these crazy old nights
We're gonna find out
Pretty mama
What turns on your lights
The full moon is calling
The fever is high
And the wicked wind whispers
And moans

had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him she cried
Daddy, oh, don't you dare!
He gives me *fever* with his kisses,
fever when he holds me tight,
Fever - I'm his missus,
Daddy won't you treat him right?"

[spoken]
My heart's sad and I am all forlorn, my man's treating me mean
I regret the day that I was born and that man of mine I've ever seen
Happiness, it never lasts a day, my heart is almost breaking while I say...
A good man is hard to find,
you always get the other kind
Just when you think that he is your pal,
you look for him and find him fooling 'round some other gal
Then you rave, you even crave
to see him laying in his grave
So, if your man is nice, take my advice
and hug him in the morning, kiss him ev'ry night,
give him plenty lovin', treat him right
For a good man nowadays is hard to find.
A Good Man Is Hard To Find

The people of the land took Jesus by the hand, They followed Him far and wide; "I come not to bring you peace, but a sword", So they killed Jesus Christ on the sly. He went to the sick, he went to the poor; And he went to the hungry and the lame; Said that the poor would one day win this world, And so they laid Jesus Christ in His grave.Woody Guthrie

Been travelling far and wide
Wondering who's going to be my guide
Living in a fantasy but it's way too far
But this kind of loneliness is way too hard
I've been wandering, feeling all alone
I lost my direction and I lost my home...Well

See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling all the while
You belong to me
See the market place in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me
I'll be so lonesome without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
And blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me.

I looked to the stars, tried all of the bars.
And I've nearly gone up in smoke.
Now my hand's on the wheel, I've something that's real,
And I feel like I'm goin' home.
And in the shade of an oak down by the river,
Sit an old man an' a boy,
Settin' sail, spinnin' tales an' fishin' for whales,
With a lady they both enjoy.
Well, it's the same damn tune, it's the man in the moon.
It's the way that I feel about you.
And with no place to hide, I looked in your eyes,
And I found myself in you.

Purple Rain
I never meant 2 cause u any sorrow
I never meant 2 cause u any pain
I only wanted 2 one time see u laughing
I only wanted 2 see u laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
I only wanted 2 see u bathing in the purple rain
I never wanted 2 be your weekend lover
I only wanted 2 be some kind of friend
Baby I could never steal u from another
It’s such a shame our friendship had 2 end
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
I only wanted 2 see u underneath the purple rain
Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
It’s time we all reach out 4 something new
That means u 2
U say u want a leader
But u can’t seem 2 make up your mind
I think u better close it
And let me guide u 2 the purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
If you know what I’m singing about up here
C’mon raise your hand
Purple rain purple rain
I only want 2 see u, only want 2 see u
In the purple rain

If you cross your heart to someone
You`re not suposed to tell a lie
If you cross your heart to someone
You`re not suposed to tell a lie
Before you say wrong
Or either do wrong
It have to be so long
Or either...goodbye
The first time I crossed my heart
I was by your bedside on my knees
Yes, the first time I crossed my heart
I was by your bedside, down on my knees
And I know the difference between I and you,
I have to beg you
Please, darlin`, help...me...please
I cross my heart
For there's no one else I know
I cross my heart to you, to you baby, because I know
There`s no one else, I know
Anything you tell me to do
I have to do it or I`ll have to go
Cross my Heart

And the ice of her kisses lingers on and on
And the image of her body live
Yet you walked on black sand by the sea's turmoil
In the dark of a velvet night
Then you sat down and gave your hands to be kissed and loved
Could not you hear a gentle sigh
And by the stars part control of your wandering life
Do you believe in not telling lies
But it was good that you were warm on your way back home
Short love, goodbye

Cheiro de fruta na pele salgada
Praia de areia negra, bronzeada
No vento aroma distante, trovoada
Aqui não me falta nada.
The smell of fruit on the salty skin
Black sand beach, tan black skin
In the wind the distant smell of thunder
Here, I have everything.

Everything I Have Is Yours
Everything I have...is yours
You are part of me
Everything I have...is yours
My destiny
I would gladly give the sun to you
If the sun were only mine
I would gladly give the earth to you
And the stars that shine
Everything that I posses
I offer you
Let my dream of happyness
Come through
I'll be happy just to spend, my life
Waiting at your beck and call
Everything I have, is yours
My life
My all

Measuring the marigolds
You and your arithmetic
You'll probably go far

Seems to me you'd stop and see
How beautiful they are

When the child was a child
It woke up once in a strange bed
And now time and time again
Many people seem beautiful to it
And now not so many and now only if it's lucky
It had a precise picture of paradise
And now can only vaguely conceive of it at best
