Lyric Game! About time we got a new game!

[Skiv]

Okay here's the deal, it's kind of like the person above you thread, except you have to post a song lyric that either makes you think of the person that posted before you, or one that applies to them, or something like that!

You can't post in here if you don't put a lyric for the person, that's just mean. Think of it like the counting thread, don't post if you aren't playing.

Wanna try it?

[Sir Edward Thomas William Pay]

Tried to take it all away
And learn her freedom just inside a day
And find her soul
To find their fears allayed

Tried to make her love their own
They took her love they left her there
They gave her nothing back
That she would want to own

Gold and silver rings and stones
Dances slowly of the moon
No-one else can know
She stands alone

Sleeping dreams will reach for her
She cannot say the words they need
She knows she's alone
And she is free

Chorus:

Ocean gypsy of the moon
The sun has made a thousand nights
For you to hold
Ocean gypsy where are you
The shadows followed by the stars
Have turned to gold, turned to gold

Then she met a hollow soul
Filled him with her light
And was consoled she was the moon
And he, the sun was gold

Eyes were blinded with his light
The sun she gave
Reflected back the night
The moon was waning
Almost out of sight

Softly ocean gypsy calls
Silence holds the stars awhile
They smile sadly
For her where she falls

Just the time before the dawn
The sea is hushed
The ocean calls her
Day has taken her and now she's gone



No-one noticed when she died
Ocean gypsy shackled to the tide
The ebbing waves were turning
Spreading wide

Something gone within her eyes
Her fingers lifeless stroke the sand
Her battered soul was lost
She was abandoned

Silken threads like wings still shine
Winds take pleasure still make patterns
In her lovely hair
So dark and fine

Stands on high beneath the seas
Cries no more
Her tears have dried
Oceans weep for her the ocean sighs

Me thinks this is Skiv!

[Skiv]

YAY!! I'm a gypsy!! *hugs Raven Ed* I love that song!! I got a whole song, woah, just for refrance, you don't HAVE to put a whole song, just a bit will do. Here's for Raven Ed!

If I share this with you never speak a word
They would never understand if they ever heard
Gemini, Capricorn, rising in the east
Dancing through the witchwood we began to sing...

In between dark and light in the underworld
Wrapped around your finger like a string of pearls
Smiling face, empty hand, 7 golden rings
Dancing through the starlight we began to sing...

Ahh, still I hear the whisper..."Cartouche"...
Caramel colored leaves spiral in the air
Diving right into the ground 'round the winding stair
Stories carved out of wood, jester and the king
Dancing through the moonlight, we began to sing

Ahh, still I hear the whisper..."Cartouche"...
Memories, black and white, hide behind the glass
In the mirrors and the smoke, its all fading fast
Written word, turn the card winter into spring
Dancing through the witchwood we began to sing...


Oh, that's Cartouche by Blackmore's Night.

[Jette Vonavisca]

I'm game!

Unfortunately, I only found one little thing about Skiv. I do believe that it captured her effectively, though.

I wandered in the moonlight
A ghost without a friend
All around the starlight found are lost and wounded men.
I know that I did some damage
I wanted to be home again
So I waited for a star my soul to mend
I waited for a star my soul to mend.

Star, By Semisonic.

[Skiv]

Awww!! Thanks Jette!! Das so sweet!! Here's for you!

In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh it has begun...
Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,
This world you must've crossed...

Wow, we've all got sad songs!

[The Evil Overlordess]

For Skiv-- homeless people and weirdness, and yet it reminds me of you. M'sending you this sometime!

Strolling down a poncey lane
I came across a girl you claimed, her name

Trudy Truelove
to avoid the rain she simply ducks
because Trudy make her own rules
away she zooms Trudy Truelove

She live on that street
still she keeps her cardboard clean
when people pass they scream
there's that girl again, her name

Trudy Truelove
to avoid the rain she simply ducks
because Trudy makes her own rules
away she zooms Trudy Truelove

It's raining falling stars so
she snatches one in a jar
for a bag lady who she calls queen
Trudy earns her wings

Trudy Truelove
to avoid the rain she simply ducks
because Trudy makes her own rules
away she zooms Trudy Truelove

Trudy Trudy Trudy
Truelove, Trudy
Trudy Truelove.

[Skiv]

I LOVE THAT TO NO END!!!! *dies* Here's yours.


Singing songs from the balcony as the city crumbles
Under the powers of an evil doctor rocket science monster
with capabilities to destroy the entire universe... yo.


Oh yeah, it's from Capital H by Motion City Sountrack.

[Oz]

Jimi Hendrix sings this about gypsies, and thus about Skiv:

Way up in my tree Im sitting by my fire
Wondrin where in this world might you be
And knowin all the time youre still roamin in the country side
Do you still think about me?
Oh my gypsy.

I remember the first time I saw you
The tears in your eyes look like theyre tryin to say
Oh little boy you know I could love you
But first I must make my get away
Two strange men fightin to the death over me today
Ill try to meet cha by the old highway.
Hey!

Ive been searchin so long my feet have made me lose the battle
Down against the road my weary knees they got me
Off to the side I fall but I hear a sweet call
My gypsy eyes is comin and Ive been saved

[Canela]

The Paperbacks' 'An Episode of Sparrows' for Oz, because it reminds me of talanted writers dealing with jobs they find annoying.

Thoughts scrawled on discarded receipts
Or the backs of cash-handling procedure sheets
On unpaid breaks in highlighter pen
Until the senses overload; a fog rolls in
And then arriving home so tired tonight
That I don’t think that I’ll bother to write
Though the press of ideas, neglected like this
Will find expression in dreams, dense dreams
Where birds explode from the branches up above
Darkening your path only briefly then leaving you
The canvas of the sky to reconstruct their movements in your head
And each street then accumulates these ghosts
Because art is not a luxury, oh no, no
And it keeps proceeding undeterred by all unconscious opposition, anyway

[Skiv]

For Canela:

All this time lingers, undefined.
Someone choose who's left and who's leaving.

Left & Leaving by The Weakerthans

[Aris]

Here is another gypsy thingy for skivvles!

Well I was your gypsy,
Throwing dimonds at your feet,
Drifted 'round you like a satelite,
I gave you everything you need,
everything you need.

And out of, this world,
keeps on turning,
keeps me yernin'
and yernin'

How, could you turn and walk away
Pretending everythings okay,
Love is something you work at,
Tell me why you love me like that,
Tell me why you love me like that?

I love that song! Michelle Branch the 7th song on the Hotel Paper cd.
(I don't do song names very well. I put my cd's into a big case, so I normally lose my cases)

[Jette Vonavisca]

To my dear Aris...

I said look...
I was flying into Chicago at night
Watching the lake turn the sky into blue-green smoke
The sun was setting to the left of the plane
And the cabin was filled with an unearthly glow
In 27-D, I was behind the wing
Watching the landscape roll out like credits on a screen

And I said, look, look to your left passengers
Look, look to your right
You can pretend that you're from outerspace
And this, this is your very first sight

The earth looked like it was lit from within
Like a big, man-made electrical ball as we moved
Out of the farmlands and into the grid
The plan of a city was all that you saw
And all of these people sitting totally still
As the ground raised beneath them, 30,000 feet down

And I said, look, look to your left passengers
Look, look to your right
You can pretend that you're here from the fifth century
And this, this is your very first flight

And I was pretending that I was in
A Galaxie 500 video
The stewardess came back and checked on my drink
And I swear that she looked just like Bridgette Bardot
I had on my walkman and I had on those eyes
That's what you get when your circumstance is movie-size

And I said, look, look to you left passengers
Look, look to your right
You can pretend that the plane's gonna crash in five minutes
And this, this is your very last sight
You better look, look to your left passengers
Look, look to your right
Cause I'm gonna take this plane out in less than five minutes
And this, this is your very last sight

[Aris]

Hmm... I know of a songl! NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO DO JETTE UNTILL I GET BACK WITH A SONG!

[Oz]

Sorry, Aris, but this made me think of Jette, so I had to post it.

It's from 'The Bard's Song' by Blind Guardian

Now You all know
The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by
I'll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again
But now hear my song
About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bards' song

Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today
It will be gone
Due to our magic songs

There's only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it's time to leave
Noone should ask You for the name
Of the one
Who tells the story

Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known
And You're not alone
So don't be afraid
In the dark and cold
'Cause the bards' songs will remain
They all will remain

In my thoughts and in my dreams
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men
And elves
Come close Your eyes
You can see them, too
