Linking Lyrics

Post Reply New Topic

This game is kind of like "Three Word Story" where people add on to a random story.

It's also like a locked thread called "A Conversation in Song Lyrics".

I'll start by posting some song lyrics along with the source. The next person posts new lyrics which are connected or linked somehow by topic.

The new lyrics can be connected because of a certain word or idea in the previous post, or because the train of thought goes well together like a story.

There aren't any other rules about the direction of the story. It's just for shites and giggles.

First post:



I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know. (White Christmas, Irving Berlin)

Dreaming, Dreaming is free (Blondie, 'Dreaming')

While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me


(Doris Day)

When she is lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends the cable coming in from above....


Golden Earring, 'Radar Love'

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?


Eleanor Rigby - Beatles

People like you and people like me
Need somebody to lean on if we want to stay free


People Like You - The Glitter Band

God knows, God knows I want to break free.


(I Want to Break Free - QUEEN)

Philadelphia Freedom took me knee-high to a man,
Gave me peace of mind my daddy never had.


Philadelphia Freedom - Elton John

I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People living in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind

(Peace of Mind - Boston)

Don't want to know about anything,
'Cause all I want is you.


All I Want Is You - Roxy Music

Don't look at me for answers
Don't ask me, I don't know

I Don't Know - OZZY

There are more questions than answers,
And the more I find out, the less I know.


There Are More Questions Than Answers - Johnny Nash

So if you want me off your back
Well ... come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

The Clash

Come on, come on
We really got a good thing going
Come on, come on
If you think we're gonna make it
You better hang on to yourself


Hang On To Yourself - David Bowie

These people round here
Wear beatdown eyes sunk in smoke dried face
So resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no never)
No not us (no never)
We are far too young and clever
Come on let's take off everything!

(Come On Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners)

Well it's No Nay Never
No Nay Never No More
Will I play the wild rover
No Never No More


The Wild Rover - The Pogues
