Meaningfull lyrics.... (another boring music question)

<< < (6/30) > >>

Maddy:
OK proof - from a Simon & Garfunkel lyrics website. Original by Chuck Berry.
 
Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing the things you used to do.

The motor cooled down, the heat went down
and that's when I heard that highway sound.
The Cadillac a-sittin' like a ton of lead
a hundred and ten a half a mile ahead.
The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
and I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill.

Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing the things you used to do.

So am I a smart **** or what?

Moose:
Now I feel, Thick :oops:

We have even dusted down the ABBA gold, which I will go and play.

Maddy:
Ah - think I may have found the problem then - it isn't on Abba Gold, it on More Abba Gold

Ok here's one you might know:

'i've played all my cards, and that's what you've done too, nothing more to say, no more ace to play...'

Maddy:
Ok here's some slightly more mainstream ones for everyone to do whilst bored at work tomorrow: You should all get these...

1. 'All your life you've never seen a woman taken taken by the wind. Would you stay if she promised you heaven, would you ever win?...'

2. 'She keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear...'

3. 'Out on the wily windy moors we roll and fall in dreams, you had a temper like my jealousy, too wild too greedy.'

4. 'I heard you on the wireless back in 62'

5. 'Steve walks warily down the street, his brim pulled way down low. Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet, machine guns ready to go....'

6. 'She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh. I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath.'

7. 'Standing in the door of the Pink Flamingo crying in the rain'

8. 'I saw her walking on the water as the sharks for coming for me, I felt ... pull me up, give me the kiss of life, just like the girl in Dr No, no, no.'

9. 'Helter Skelter in the summer swealter, the birds flew off with a fall out shelter, ten miles high and falling fast...'

10. an easy one to end with..... 'Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me..'

Answers on a postcard please. :lol:

Bush Tucker Man:
Defeat graciously admitted...

I own up I never knew S&G covered 'Maybelline'
I'll have to track that one down, as I really like S&G's harmonies.
Fave is possibly 'Sound of Silence' or 'Homeward Bound'

Oh, and yes. You are a 'smart-ass'
