A Conversation in Song Lyrics

Post Reply New Topic

Someone says a line of lyrics, then someone replies to the conversation with a line of song lyrics from any other song (Or the same song, if it works). You can put the artist/band if you wish. I'll start with an example, and somebody can continue:

Person 1:
We've come a long, long way together, through the hard times and the good. (Praise You, Fatboy Slim)

Person 2:
I don't know where we are going now. (Dakota, Stereophonics)

Why don't we go, somewhere only we know? (Somewhere Only We Know, Keane)

Say you'll meet me down on the beach tonight....

(The Drifters, 'Down On The Beach Tonight')

(Jeez -- I was imagining this kind of thread the other day and wondering if it would work!)



... but will you love me tomorrow?! (The Shirelles)

I will always love you...

Whitney Houston (not my kind of song at all, but it fits the bill here... )

Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?


(Paradise by the Dashboard Light -- Meat Loaf)

Paper Lace

Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life,
Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife.
But as Billy started to go, she said 'Keep your pretty head low'....

You can probably work out the rest

Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you, you!

(Little Anthony)

Coo Coo, I just want you, I really love the things that you do,
Come on and love me too, Oh won't you be my Coo Ca Choo?





God, this is ridiculous, but hugely enjoyable!


My recollection of 'Tears On My Pillow' is from a Johnny Nash version, which is quite different from the one you referenced....

I'm on a submarine mission for you, baby!
I feel the way you're going --
I picked you up on my tv screen
I feel your undercurrent flowing!

(Submission, Sex Pistols)

This braying sheep on my TV screen
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream
Going underground
I'm going underground

('Going Underground', The Jam)

Forget it all
The TV screen
TV screen makes you feel small
No life at all

(Iggy Pop)

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality.

(Queen, 'Bohemian Rhapsody', 1975)

You read your Emily Dickinson
And I my Robert Frost
And we note our place with book markers
That measure what we've lost

Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm
Couplets out of rhyme
In syncopated time

And the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives

(Simon & Garfunkel)

You thought you were a clever girl (clever girl)
Giving up your social whirl (social whirl)
But you can't come back and be the first in line, oh no
You're obsolete, my baby
My poor old fashioned baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes you are left out, out of there without a doubt
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time


Rolling Stones 1966

Chris Farlowe 1967

You keep talking that mess, that's fine
But could you walk and talk at the same time?
And it's my name that's on that tag
So remove your bags - let me call you a cab!

You must not know 'bout me
I could have another you in a minute
Matter of fact he'll be here in a minute, baby
I can have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get
To thinking you're irreplaceable!

(Irreplaceable, Beyonce)
