So this is an awesome game I've been playing on another forum. It's simple, really...

Look at the lyric below. See how it ends with a word in italics? Think of a lyric from another song that has that word in it. Now write it in the next post, making sure to say what it is and who it is by, and to bold the word.

Now, the next person will have to find a lyric that contains the last word of your lyric! See how it could go on forever? Let's start.

Jonathan Coulton - First of May

I woke up this morning

I had a scone and a large house blend

And then a little conversation with my squirrel and chipmunk friends

I said I'm sick and tired of winter

And I wish that it was spring

And then a little fellow named Robin Redbreast

Began to sing

And he sang

Ooh ooh child, what'd you think the cold winter's gonna last forever?

Ooh ooh child, now's the time for all the people to get together

Outside

Iron Maiden - Fortunes of War

After the war and now that they've sent us homeward

I can't help but feel that I'm on my own

No one can see just what this conflict has done to

The minds of the man who are on their way home

I'm scared for life but it's not my flesh that's wounded

So how can I face the torment alone

The vivid scenes and all the recurring nightmares

I lay there and sweat until it gets light...

People say "Don't worry"

Say that time's a perfect healer

That the nightmares they will come to pass

Can't hear what they're saying

I am living in my own world

And I'm feeling trance like all the time

I hear voices in my head

Could I really be going crazy

In the night the visions seem so real

Do you care if you live or die

When you laugh are you really crying

You're not sure what's real anymore

Fortunes of war

Fortunes of war no pain anymore

Sometimes I wake

I feel that my spirit's broken

I wonder if I've the strength... to carry on.

[andromeda]

No, no, no... just sayin' without the g and not that long please, I only had six lines!

[Izzy]

My thread, full song length is fine. And gah. *thinks*

[Izzy]

'Saying' vs. 'Sayin'' is up to interpretation. Personally, I think it's the latter.

Hello?

Is there anybody in there?

Just nod if you can hear me.

Is there anyone at home?

Come on, now,

I hear you're feeling down.

Well I can ease your pain

Get you on your feet again.

Relax.

I'll need some information first.

Just the basic facts.

Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding

A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.

You are only coming through in waves.

Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.

When I was a child I had a fever

My hands felt just like two balloons.

Now I've got that feeling once again

I can't explain you would not understand

This is not how I am.

I have become comfortably numb.

O.K.

Just a little pinprick.

There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!

But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?

I do believe it's working, good.

That'll keep you going through the show

Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain you are receding

A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.

You are only coming through in waves.

Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.

When I was a child

I caught a fleeting glimpse

Out of the corner of my eye.

I turned to look but it was gone

I cannot put my finger on it now

The child is grown,

The dream is gone.

I have become comfortably numb.

Monoral - Visions In My Head

These visions in my head

How can this be

Everytime you blow my mind

I can sense that special something

[Izzy]

Heh at RT's post. Someone should try to find a song to answer his post and mine, but it isn't necessary if it can't be done.

Technically, thanks to Andromeda being precise on word pronunciation ( ), we should be going with mine instead of RT's.

You are still posting the entire songs instead of just one verse so I don't even care to read it!

One verse, the exact word! Not more than five lines, and the word that we are looking for shouldn't be in the title!

Simple rules!

OK One more time:

1. Do not post the entire song

2. Post five to six lines

3. The exact word has to be in those lines

4. The word that we need to chain the previous song/verse to shouldn't be in the title, because this game thread is about thinking and not just googling your way though it

5. So the word that we need to chain our verse to should be bolded as before and the next word that the next person should find should be italicised and going after the bolded word.

6. One person can't chain two verses in a row...

When I get to think of it, this is a never ending game thread and as such it should probably be locked!

Okay, for the final time, this is my thread, and rules are subject to be/change as I (or possibly Rookie/Martini/Bonanova) see fit. There is no problem with posting the entire song. If you don't feel like reading it, no worries. That's why different fonts have been applied to the necessary words.

This is a Song-Based Chain Quiz, not a verse one.

I don't recall the rules forbidding on-going games. To be fair, there could be an end. Stump everyone else, win.

Hm you are right about winning... so stump me then! *glares at stumper* <_<

Actually, there is a precedence for never ending games ("Change the letter" game thread). It applies especially to threads which are created just for the sake of posting, with no clear end in sight and with no added value for this forum. Artificial increase of post count is a factor as well.

Awaiting the final Stumper

OK here it comes!

Artist : Canibus

Title : Poet Laureate Infinity

Album : For Whom the Beat Tolls

Genre : Hip Hop

...

The Galactic Plane has a Galactic Plan

I look up in the sky to see if God is judging me

suddenly I feel Fatima and Medjugorie come to me, 60

sitting down at the mixing board/round/banquet table comfortably

they begin to study me, by showing me worlds I would love to see

My body did not melt beyond the Van Allen Belt

I was transformed into a spirit with no shell

I could move about freely, I rose & I fell

The coldness of heaven is like the coldness of hell

Metaphoric Sun Worship, pulling me with planet like inertias

words blinking like the text edit cursor

my sentences are sometimes too sensitive to make sense of it

layer upon layer upon layer unedited, 70

You lazy & you wanna' be the best? You crazy!

The Best Train EVERYDAY of the week

Propulsion system is gravity driven, white hot thermal

external vision, Every lyric got a wormhole in it

Saint Germaine is real, Germaine is a sage for real

My sigil is the double headed eagle seal

Normal life is not real, we are cogs in a wheel

we work we hurt we search we feel

The microphonist that utilizes the study of Conics

circular motion in both the para- and the hyperbolas, 80

Tiger Woods knows this, everytime he plays golf he shows this

A true master at the masters in focus

In my time of need, I am not alone

...

And here is the entire song!
