Lyric Game, Name the Artist
 

Oh I like coffee
And I like tea
I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take
Well all right okay
So be that way
I hope and pray
That there's something left to say

blues traveler

"like a hero or the champion.. you are the best
like religion, or superstition..with you i am blessed"

"Not Fire, Not Ice" Ben Harper

"I would say I'm sorry if I thought that it would change your mind. But I know that this time I have said too much, been too unkind.

Misjudged your limit, pushed you too far, took you for granted, not that you need a reminder"

*bump* :)

Boys Don't Cry, The Cure

Sleep, sleep tonight and may your dreams be realized

U2-MLK, I think?

"I know you gotta get that paper daddy keep that shit tight
but yo I need some sort of love in my life, you dig me
while politicin with my sister from new york city
she said she know this ball player and he think I'm pretty"

Erykah Badu - You Got Me

You claim the insane
And name this day and time
For fallin' prey to crime
I say the system got you victim to your own mind

Left Eye (RIP :(), Waterfalls

Cuando llegara,
El dia de mi suerte,
Te lo juro por mi gente,
Te juro que los dias llegara

Hehehe, let's see who can guess this one...

(hint, it is a little bit old, mainstream hip hop, and also a deceased artist :()

Is that Big Pun???

Si!

Yay!

"you move over, Cassanova
No sweat, I'm queen
Nothing can stop me"

Anyone?...

Well done! :)

"I wish I had a reason, my flaws are open seasoned, for this I gave up trying, one good time deserves my dying."

"Bother" by Stone Sour!!

woohoo that song rocks!

Guess this one:

"And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how..."

Oasis - Wonderwall!

"Would you be the wind
To blow me home?
Would YOU be a dream
On the wings of a poem?
And if we are walking through a crowd,
Well you know I’d be proud
If you’d call my name out loud"

Dispatch - Outloud

"Oh, Johnny wishes he was famous
Spends his time alone in the basement,
with a lennon and a cobain and
a guitar and a stereo."

"Innocent" by Our Lady Peace

You should never argue with a crazy mind
You oughta know by now
You can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
Is that all you get for your money?

In a shocker, Blaine picked a song by freaking Our Lady Peace . . .

Anyway:

She's got none, but she thinks she got so many problems, and she's got too much time to waste . . .


-----------------
and for those of you wanting a challenge:

See, it can all be so simple if you let it - if not, fucking forget it, don't sweat it . . .

"She's Got Issues" by Offspring

You didn't answer my quote:

"You should never argue with a crazy mind
You oughta know by now
You can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
Is that all you get for your money?"

ah shit, we simul-posted on damasa's

plus - you're wrong, not the Offspring, not even close

I'm wrong. Crap! Who is it? Oh no, don't answer. Maybe I will know tomorrow at a decent hour. :)

BUMP!!!

OK - I'll help -

This one is Jack Johnson, You're missing me


NEW ONE: (mad easy)

Today was the greatest day there ever was - can't wait 'til tomorrow . . .

SMASHING PUMPKINS! today :)

"only in dreams, you see what it means, reach out a hand, hold on to hers, but when you wake, its all been erased.."

WEEZER!
"Only in Dreams"


"The truth is you could slit my throat, and with my one last gasping breath I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt. "

kind of a crazy lyric but from a great band and song.

good call with weezer, i LOVE them.. don't know this one though..

easy one
 

Taking Back Sunday



Yes, I am the inescapable, the irresistable,
The unnegotiable, the unchallenged
I am time
I scroll in measurements, control the elements,
I hold the evidence, I tell the story
I am time
I know no prejudice, I bare no sentiments
For wealth or settlement, I move forward
I am time
You can't recover me, conceal or smuggle me,
Retreat or run from me, crawl up or under me,
You can't do much for me besides serve
Me well and have good dividends returned to you
Or attempt to kill me off and have me murder you
Many have wasted me but now they are facing me,
Treated me unfaithfully and now endure me painfully
Plaintively, I wait to see what history will shape to be,
Who's hearts will never die inside the sake of me
Angel's scribe the page for me,
Keep a full account of all the names for me
And make a special mark for Hurricane who waits patiently

Hurricane - The Roots

Hey woman, you got the blues, cos' you ain't got no one else to use.
There's an open road that leads nowhere, so just make some miles between here and there.
There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in,
You took my body and played to win,
Ha Ha woman it's a crying shame,
But you ain't got no one else to blame

ELO - Evil Woman

To keepin' silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut

Peter Gabriel - "Salisbury Hill"

Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

True Colors by Cyndi Lauper

how can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I’ve become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home

Evanescence - Bring Me To Life


This is nothing new to me
It takes more than what you got
To frighten me
I'm not scared of you
There's nothing you can do
Or take from me

"Untouchable" by Garbage (great band)

"Living your ghost, living your end, never seem to get in the place that I belong"

Letting the Cables Sleep - Bush

Easy One: (it's stuck in my head)

Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once?

Crap! I know that one. It's Green Day, but for the life of me I can't remember the song name.

Fast Car - Tracy Chapman

Well it oughta be easy, oughta be simple enough
Man meets woman and they fall in love
But this house is haunted and the ride gets rough
You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above

Tunnel Of Love - Bruce Springsteen


"A thousand pictures can be drawn from one word
Only who is the artist?
We gotta agree.
A thousand miles can lead so many ways;
Just to know who is driving
What a help it would be."

Okay, I waited a sufficient amount of time and no one replied, so I cheated and looked up the lyrics.

The Moody Blues - I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)

Okay, next one:

"I'll be your whatever you want
Spitting in a wishing well
The bong in this reggae song
Blown to hell... crash"

Cannonball- Breeders


"I like the bed I'm sleepin in
Its just like me, its broken in
Its not old
Just older"
