Catchy little ditty: Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen

Here's another from across the pond:

Spend your money on the corner, now you know you've got to save some for the shoeshine boy. You've been pulling them by the hand inside, collecting all your toys. If you need a lead to heaven now, just stick around and you're gonna be there. What do you care? what do you dare? what does your heart say Now?

All She Wants Duran Duran

Well you're dirty and sweet
Clad in black
Don't look back
And I love you
You're dirty and sweet oh yeah

Well you're slim and you're weak
You got the teeth
Of the hydra upon you
You're dirty sweet
And you're my girl

 

[Violette]

Since you both answered mine correctly, I'll answer yours:

1. Heat of the Momoent by Asia

2. Bang a Gong (get It on) by Power Station Originally done by T. rex

This was on a Movie soundtrack, " 'cause sometimes you just gotta say WTF. "

Everybody get on the floor. What the hell you'd come here for?
Girl it ain't no use, you might as well get loose, work your body like a whore. Everybody get on the beat, we're gonna show you muthas how to scream. People everywhere, loosen up your hair, take a deeper breath and sing along with me…

Prince - D.M.S.R

New lyrics

The waiter poured our memories in a tiny cup
We stumbled over words we longed to hear
We talked about the dreams we'd lost, or given up
When the whistle caught the night
And shook silence from my life
As the last train rolled toward the moon

Dennis Deyoung Desert Moon

The endless beat, she's walking my way
Hear the music fade when she says
Are we getting too close, do we dare to get closer
The room is spinning as she whispers my name

And We Danced by The Hooters?

BTW, D.M.S.R. was used in Risky Business.

You send me some roses, but roses do die.
You gave me some candy, it melted--nice try.
I'm not that demanding, I have simple taste
I just want a token that won't go to waste.

Janet Jackson--Diamonds

try this...

Must be getting early, clocks are running late.
Paint my love a morning sky, it's all cold.
Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains I don't care, but it's alright
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.
I see you've got your list out, say your piece and kiss off.
Guess I get the gist of it, but it's alright...

Touch of Grey by the Grateful Dead?

Was she hot? Did she turn you out? Curiosity rules my brain.
Was it worth my heart? It's torn all apart. Are you going back again? Tell me!
My love was true, still you threw it all away.
But now, you'r elike the rest, unworthy of my best.
Hasta la vista, baby.

And she said that long before Arnie ran it into the ground in T2!

Looking for a New Love Jody Whatley

I see you on the street and you walk on by
You make me wanna hang my head down and cry
If you gave me half a chance you'd see
My desire burning inside of me
But you choose to look the other way
I've had to work much harder than this
For something I want don't try to resist me

Open Your Heart by Madonna.

I'd drive a million miles to be with you tonight.
So if you're feeling low, turn up the radio.
The words we use are strong, they meet reality.
So now the music's on, come baby dance with me.

Wang Chung Everybody Have Fun Tonight

Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign tower. Slash and burn,
return, listen to yourself churn. Lock him in uniform and book burning,
blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate. Light a candle,
light a motive. Step down, step down. Watch a heel crush, crush. Uh oh,
this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steer clear! A tournament,
a tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives
and I decline.

It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) By REM

Oh, I count to ten, but I don't know and I don't know when to open my eyes. Would you kiss me again like you did just now, like you did just then?

 

[KindaKinky]

I've had the rest, now it's time I had the best.
So tell me that you don't want to anymore…

Ah, These Dreams by Heart

Try to guess the title of this one:

Hopelessly drift in the eyes of the ghost again, down on my knees, and my hands in the air again. Pushing my face in theh memory of you again, but I never know if it's real.

untitled by the Cure

Love come, down upon us 'till you flow like water,
Burning, with the hope of insight,
Feathered, look they're covered with a bright elation,
Stolen, in the sight of love,

Icicle Works - Birds Fly (Whispers to a Scream)

Try this...(makes me hungry!)

Tried to amend my carnivorous habits
Made it nearly seventy days
Losin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds
Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays

But at night I'd had these wonderful dreams
Some kind of sensuous treat
Not zucchini, fettucini or bulghar wheat
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat

Cheeseburger in Paradise Jimmy Buffet

Ricky was a young boy, He had a heart of stone.
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone.
Just barely got out of school, came from the edge of town.
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down.
He had no money, oooh no good at home.
He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone

Don't Shed a Tear Paul Carrack

I don´t care what you say
You can give it away
Your money don´t mean much to me
I´ve been out on my own
Going to go it alone now
Cause that´s the way it´s got to be

Everybody tells me how
I can beat the odds for now
I´ve been standing by the fire
I just can´t feel the heat
Can´t feel the heat

Heartbeat by Don Johnson

Looking through my old drawer, came across a letter you wrote. Said you needed time away, that was so long ago.

Come Back To Me--Janet Jackson


try this set...

Take me now, baby, here as I am
Hold me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand, come under cover
They can't hurt you now...

There's no sign of life
It's just the power to charm
Still standing in the rain
But I never waived bye-bye

Modern Love, David Bowie

*will return with lyrics*

 

[redelicious]

You’re on the road and now you
The road behind was rocky, but now you’re feeling cocky
You look at me and you see your past
Is this the reason why you’re runnin’ so fast
And she said
