Welcome to the Lyrics Game, which proved pretty popular last time around, but this time, it's a little different to make it more fair on people. Or try to.
Basically:
[/li][li]I will try my best to make sure the lyrics are quite varied, meaning, not just from songs that I have, since not everyone has my taste in music.
[/li][li]The first person to correctly guess a lyric gets the point.
[/li][li]The normal light green font colour of this forum means that the lyric has not yet been guessed before the last update, the font colour grey means that the lyric has already been guessed by another member.
[/li][li]Finally, no cheating. Let's try and keep this an honest game.[/li][/ul] [/color]
Round 1:
1. My mother was a tailor, she sewed my new blue jeans,
My father was a gambling man down in New Orleans.
Now the only thing a gambler needs, is a suitcase and a truck,
And the only time that he's satisfied, is when he's on a drunk.
Oh mother, tell your children, not to do as I have done;
Spend your lives in sin and misery, in the house of the Rising Sun.

2. Your cruel, deep eyes,
Your blood, like ice,
One look, could kill,
My pain, your thrill.
I wanna love you but I better not touch, (don't touch)
I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop.
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much, (too much)
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison.
You're poison running through my veins
You're poison.
I don't wanna break these chains.
Poison - Alice Cooper

3. Destroy, destroy all or nothing.
I dreamed I died, ended up at the gates of heaven,
Greeted by a man saint someone,
Said how's the ride son?
It's been alright, at times a little rough, why am I here?
You did alright, lived a little dark and that's alright,
Cause we made the darkside
And the rightside is to have no fear, no fear.
4. We're caught in a trap, I can't walk out,
Because I love you too much baby.
Why can't you see, what you're doing to me?
When you don't believe a word i'm saying.
5. Ma, take these guns away from me,
I can't shoot them anymore.,
There's a lone black clou,d following me
Feels like I'm knocking on heaven's door.
Knocking, knocking, knocking.
Knock, knock knocking on heaven's door (x2)
Knocking On Heaven's Door - Bob Dylan

6. Well you, are you in there?
I’m stuck outside you, ooh ooh
We could use, one another
Another like you, ooh ooh
You’ll be my, passer-by
I’m the only, one to pass through
Screws inside, turned so tight
Turn it on you, I’m hanging on you, ooh ooh

7. Well you asked me what I want this year,
And I try to make this kind and clear,
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days.
Cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And designer love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days.
Better Days - Goo Goo Dolls
Guessed by Zostar
8. Like I need to defend my own innocence
So what, I did it, I admit it, and I'm pleading the 5th
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up for long I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor
Flat On The Floor - Nickelback

9. I'm dead as dead can be, my doctor tells me;
But I just can't believe him, ever the optimistic one.
I'm sure of your ability to become, my perfect enemy.
Wake up, and face me
Don't play dead, cause maybe,
Someday I will walk away and say
you disappoint me, maybe you're better off this way.
Passive - A Perfect Circle
Guessed by Wolfbane
10. I used to treat you right, give you my time,
But when I turn my back on you, let you do what you do.
Yeah, just enough of my own view,
Education to perform, I'd like to shoot you all.
And when you go home, with you on your own,
What do you really know?
Mr writer, why dont you tell it like it is?
Why dont you tell it like it really is, before you go on home.
11. Lay me down,
Emotion's overrated now.
Wait around,
If the fires there to put me out.
I dont wanna hear another word you say.
I dont ever wanna waste another day.
What you say what you say what you never say.
Every single lie and youre afraid.
12. This town, (town) is coming like a ghost town.
All the clubs are being closed down.
This place (aah) is coming like a ghost town.
Bands wont play no more, too much fighting on the dance floor.
Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town?
We danced and sang and the music played in our green town.
13. You're sick of feeling down
You're not the only one
I'll take you by the hand
And I'll show you a world that you can understand
This life is filled with hurt
When happiness doesn't work
Trust me and take my hand
When the lights go out you will understand
Pain, without love
Paint, I can't get enough
Pain, I like rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain - Three Days Grace

14. So you grab your girls and you grab a couple more
And you all could meet me in the middle of the floor
Said the air is thick, it’s smellin’ right
So you pass to the left, then you sail to the right
Don’t be so quick to walk away (Dance with me)
I wanna rock your body, please stay (Dance with me)
You don’t have to admit you wanna play (Dance with me)
Just let me rock you till the break of day (Dance with me)

15. Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling
But nothing’s greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I’m going crazy, maybe, maybe
16. I tried, but it rang and rang; I called all night
On a pay phone, (remember those!) from another life?
If everything I meant to you,
You can lick and seal then fold in two
Then I've been so blind.
Respectfully, some honesty I'm asking now
Do you hear the conversation we talk about?
Back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine, we show it.
17. I can't seem to recognize,
Either side of this modern version
Or fading person I was,
I tried to memorize dates and times
Of old accidents and the failed attempts now,
I'm still afraid of those mistakes I've made.
I'm mostly memories, most missed opportunities,
Mostly minor tragedies, I'm mostly you and me.
18. If you let me I could,
I'd show you how to build your fences,
Set restrictions, separate from the world.
The constant battle that you hate to fight,
Just blame the limelight.
Don't look up
Just let them think
There's no place else
You'd rather be.
Fences - Paramore
Guessed by Wolfbane
19. Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do
Nothing to prove.
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you.

20. And every night, and every day,
A little piece of me is falling away.
but lift your face, the western way,
Feel your muscles as the body decays, yeah.
Throw your line and play the game,
Let the anaesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name,
You know its time for the hammer to fall yeah.

Basically:
- there will be 5 rounds including snatches of lyrics from 20 different songs. If you recognise one, guess.
- I will need the song title and the artist name. (if it has been covered, then the artist from any cover version will do, but i may or may not know that it's a cover version, so you automatically win the point without dispute it if so happens to be the version in my media library. =P)
[/li][li]I will try my best to make sure the lyrics are quite varied, meaning, not just from songs that I have, since not everyone has my taste in music.
