Don't forget those lyrics

[atlantic]

Hello, yeah, it's been a while.

 

Not much, how 'bout you?

 

I'm not sure why I called,

 

I guess I really just wanted to talk to you.

 

And I was thinking maybe later on,

 

We could get together for a while.

 

It's been such a long time,

 

And I really do miss your smile.

 

I'm not talking 'bout moving in,

 

And I don't want to change your life.

 

But there's a warm wind blowing,

 

The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight.

 

We could go walking through a windy park,

 

Or take a drive along the beach.

 

Or stay at home and watch t.v.

 

You see, it really doesn't matter much to me.

 

I'm not talking 'bout moving in,

 

And I don't want to change your life.

 

But there's a warm wind blowing,

 

The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight.

 

I won't ask for promises,

 

So you won't have to lie.

 

---, ---, ---, ---, ---, ---

 

Say I love you, then say goodbye.

 

I'm not talking 'bout moving in,

 

And I don't want to change your life.

 

But there's a warm wind blowing,

 

The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight.

 

.... I couldn't do the I'm not talking bout the linen it was too obvious - lol ;)

[Old Salt]

sorry I missed it, I knew it, I love Elton John ;)

Final answer hasn't been given, yet. Go ahead and answer.

Thats a hard one. I would've guess "but there's a warm wind blowing" part easier. :D

OK now for a hard one. This song is a masterpiece in lyrics in my opinion.

 

Simon and Garfunkel - I am a Rock

 

A winters day

 

In a deep and dark december;

 

I am alone,

 

Gazing from my window to the streets below

 

On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.

 

I am a rock,

 

I am an island.

 

Ive built walls,

 

A fortress deep and mighty,

 

That none may penetrate.

 

I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.

 

--- -------- --- --- ------ - -------.

 

I am a rock,

 

I am an island.

 

Dont talk of love,

 

But Ive heard the words before;

 

Its sleeping in my memory.

 

I wont disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.

 

If I never loved I never would have cried.

 

I am a rock,

 

I am an island.

 

I have my books

 

And my poetry to protect me;

 

I am shielded in my armor,

 

Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.

 

I touch no one and no one touches me.

 

I am a rock,

 

I am an island.

 

And a rock feels no pain;

 

And an island never cries.

It's laughter and it's nothing I disdain

[atlantic]

Thats a hard one. I would've guess "but there's a warm wind blowing" part easier. :D

Sorry, I guess it is kinda hard. It's: We've both played that game before.

[Old Salt]

It's laughter and it's nothing I disdain

I know. Close but no cigar. :(

[snafu]

I know. Close but no cigar. :(

No you are one word off.

[Old Salt]

No you are one word off.

All those years of listening to the song, and that's what I actually heard (even though incorrect).:confused:

[snafu]

Its laughter and Its loving I desdain.

Otis Redding - Sittin on the dock of the Bay

 

Sittin' in the mornin' sun

 

I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come

 

Watchin' the ships roll in

 

Then i'll watch 'em roll away again ...Yea

 

Im sittin' on the dock of a bay

 

Watching the tide roll away ...ohhh

 

Im just sittin' on a dock of a bay

 

Wastin' time

 

I left my home in Georgia

 

Headed for the Frisco bay

 

Coz i have nuthin' to live for

 

And look like nuthin's gonna come my way

 

So...Im just gonna sit on a dock of a bay

 

Watching the tide roll away ...ohhh

 

Im sittin' on a dock of a bay

 

Wastin' time

 

Look like nothings gonna change

 

---------- ----- ------- --- ----

 

I can't do what ten people tell me to do

 

So i guess i'll remain the same

 

Sittin here restin' my bones

 

And this loneliness won't leave me alone ...listen

 

Two thousand miles I rome

 

Just to make this dock my home

 

Now... Im just gonna sit at the dock of a bay

 

Watching the tide roll away ...ohhh

 

Im sittin' on a dock of a bay

 

Wastin' time

 

Whistle solo

 

Fade.....

Steve Miller - Take the money and Run

 

This here's a story about Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue

 

Two young lovers with nothin' better to do

 

Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube

 

And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose

 

They headed down to, ooh, old El Paso

 

That's where they ran into a great big hassle

 

Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle

 

Bobbie Sue took the money and run

 

Go on take the money and run

 

Go on take the money and run

 

Go on take the money and run

 

Go on take the money and run

 

Billy Mack is a detective down in Texas

 

You know he knows just exactly what the facts is

 

-- ---'- ----- --- ---- --- ------ -------

 

He makes his livin' off of the people's taxes

 

Bobbie Sue, whoa, whoa, she slipped away

 

Billy Joe caught up to her the very next day

 

They got the money, hey

 

You know they got away

 

They headed down south and they're still running today

 

Singin' go on take the money and run

Come on now. This ones easy...

 

I thought love was only true in fairy tales

 

Meant for someone else but not for me.

 

Love was out to get me

 

That's the way it seemed.

 

Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

 

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer

 

Not a trace of doubt in my mind.

 

I'm in love, I'm a believer!

 

I couldn't leave her if I tried.

 

I thought love was more or less a given thing,

 

Seems the more I gave the less I got.

 

What's the use in tryin'?

 

All you get is pain.

 

---- - ------ -------- - --- ----.

 

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
