The New 1970s Lyrics Game

We must have loads more bases
To protect us from our foes
Who needs these foolish friendships
We're going it alone

How come you're so wrong
My sweet neo con
Where's the money gone
In the Pentagon

Sweet Neo Con - Rolling Stones

Fans,
Excellent work thinking outside the "box"!

 she took my diamond ring
She took the keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my kitty and drove off far

she took my diamond ring
She took the keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my kitty and drove off far

Mary Lou  --  Bob Seger 

There's a fire in the priory
And an ogre in the oval office
Once again we all will be so broken
Now can I finally sleep again?

Waiting For A Dream - Rufus Wainwright

Cover or original? Never heard of this guy Purple.

Julie and little John Tyler lived in the house next door
We would be the great triangle and to this we swore
Julie was my sweetheart, little John was my cohort
And all the wild horses in the world couldn't keep us apart

Gotta link that Hollies video. No smoke machine but instead abuse of roman candles putting band members life in peril. Kids in stands seemed to enjoy it.

Pete Wingfield again with them. Further research shows he played with The Hollies from about '75 to '81.

Julie and little John Tyler lived in the house next door
We would be the great triangle and to this we swore
Julie was my sweetheart, little John was my cohort
And all the wild horses in the world couldn't keep us apart

THE MOON STRUCK ONE - THE BAND  I almost used this song a couple of turns ago SLUMP. 

NEXT LYRICS: I suspect this one may have been used before but I'm too lazy to look back over the multiple pages of this theme and see.


_________ drew pentagrams
Like yours, mi'lady, like yours
Late at night when she thought
That no one was watching at all
On the wall

Guinnevere - Crosby, Stills Nash and Young

Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion

Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion

Nights in White Satin - Moody Blues

And circus boy dances like a monkey on barbed wire
And the barker romances with a junkie, she's got a flat tire,

Wild Billy's Circus Story - Bruce Springsteen. I guess you read all about the Boss and Sir Paul getting cut off in the middle of Twist and Shout last night in London?

Can't resist one from '94

There's pigeons down on Market Square
She's standing in her underwear 

There's pigeons down on Market Square
She's standing in her underwear    

  
"Mary Jane's Last Dance"  by Tom Petty


Why does this line make me think of Kim Basinger in her underwear?   

Since I'm having trouble coming up with soe lyrics to fit the theme, I'm gonna go the lazy-man's route and change the theme.

The new theme is FAMILY MEMBERS.

I'll start with an easy one(which is actually from the 80s):

Rosanna's Daddy had a car she loved to drive.     

Shakin' - Eddie Money

Both kids are good to Mom
'Blood's thicker than mud'

Oh man this is the most I've used air conditioning and it's only mid July. Another 100 degree day coming up here. No mas.

Stay out of Malibu Lebowski!

Family Affair - Sly and the Family Stone. Hey slump, where's "up here." I'm in southern New Jersey and we sure have been sweating.


Prices are rising, the devil's to pay
Moving the mountans that got in the way      

Prices are rising, the devil's to pay
Moving the mountans that got in the way

FAMILY OF MAN - THREE DOG NIGHT.   I was gonna use this song CLEAN only to find that you beat me to it!!!

NEXT LYRICS: I don't much agree with this artist's political views these days but I have been a big fan of his music from the late 70s to the mid 80s ever since I saw him in concert in a small converted movie theater shortly after the start of the 80s.


Country music singers
have been a real close family,
but lately some of my kinfolks
have disowned a few others and me.
I guess its because
I kind of changed my direction

Family Tradition - Hank Williams Jr.

Ev'ryone can see we're together
As we walk on by
(Fly)  And we fly just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie 

Ev'ryone can see we're together
As we walk on by
(Fly)  And we fly just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie 

We Are Family - Sister Sledge

I can still hear Stargell and Sanguillen singing this one!

By the way, clean,
Slump's "up here" is Michigan

Next:
Now I know your mama she don't like me 'cause I play in a rock and roll band
And I know your daddy he don't dig me but he never did understand
