I haven't been around for a while so I don't know if lyric scavenger hunts are still popular but I thought I'd start one and see how it turns out.
This time, I'm looking for lyrics about "think"ing and "believe"ing.
Songs like:
If I listen long enough to you
I'll find a way to BELIEVE that its all true
Knowing that you lied
Straight faced
While I cried
-- Rod Stewart (Reason To Believe)
You gotta THINK
Think about what you're trying to do to me
--Aretha Franklin (Think)
Happy hunting!
Believe me when I tell you
(oooohhhh)
I'll never make it..... alone
--The Beatles (Oh, Darling)
Oh I think I'm going out of my head
Yes I think I'm going out of my head
Over you
--Frankie Vali (Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You)
OK I'm game
And I THINK it's gonna be a long, long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home.
Oh, no, no, no,
I'm a rocket man,
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone. Elton John
"I BELIEVE when I fall in love with you it will
be forever-Stevie Wonder
Good ones, panzade! Well done. This is kind of a tough category...
Its only right
To think about the girl you love
And hold her tight
So happy together
-- Turtles (So Happy Together)
Now do you believe in rock and roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance
Real slow
--Don McLean (American Pie)
I think I'm gonna be sad
I think its today
The girl thats driving me mad
Is going away
--The Beatles (Ticket to Ride)
Sit beside the breakfast table
Think about your troubles
Pour yourself a cup of tea
And think about the bubbles
--Harry Nielson (From "The Point")
When I wake up someone will sweep up my lazy bones
And we will rise in the cool of the evening
I remember the way that you smiled
When the gravity shackles were wild
And something is vacant when I think it's all beginning
And I cannot believe
You have a devil up your sleeve...
<channeling, argh, Whitney Houston>
I believe the children are our future
teach them well and let them lead the way ...
<big crescendo time!>
And I-I-I-I will always love yoooooooooooooooooooo!
<throughout the neighborhood, dogs suddenly prick up their ears>
Hi drom_et_rive, Phoenix and jespah!
Thanks for joining in with your thinking songs. I wondered why all the dogs were howling... and now I know!
Hey, Boomerang! I bet that Jes has a wonderful voice....
I was born in this hotel
washing dishes in the sink
magazines and free soda
trying hard not to think
lay it on to the dawn
everything we done is wrong
I'll be lonesome when I'm gone
lay it on to the dawn
She can talk to squirrels
coming back from the convalescent home
staring at sports cars
crying
Still I wish there was something you would do or say
To make me change my mind and stay
But we never did too much talking anyway
Don't think twice, its alright
--Bob Dylan (Don't Think Twice)
When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me
When you lay in her warm arms
Don't think of me
--Dido (Don't Think Of Me)
When I think back to all the crap
I learned in high school
Its a wonder I can think at all
And my lack of education
Hasn't hurt me none
I can see the writing on the wall
--Paul Simon (Kodachrome)
I think I'm truning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
--Vapors (Turning Japanese)
I have a feeling that jespah is probably pretty good at whatever she puts her mind to!
Okay, one more:
And if you save yourself
You will make him happy
He'll keep you in a jar
And you'll think you're happy
He'll give you breathing holes
And you'll think you're happy
He'll cover you with grass
And you'll think you're happy now
--Nirvana (Sappy)
Well, I'm good at sleeping. :-D
Do you believe in life after love after love after love?
<eek, now I'm channeling Cher>
I can't believe my way back when
My Cadillac pants going much to fast
Karaoke weekend at the suicide shack
Community service and I'm still the mack
Shocked my finger, spots on my hand
I been spreading disease all across the land
Beautiful air-conditioned, sitting in the kitchen
Wishing I was living like a hit man

Aww, that was the one I was thinkin' too, good one jespah!!
Oh, how could I forget the falsetto stylings of The Darkness:
I believe in a thing called love;
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart!
There's a chance we could make it now;
We'd be rocking til the sun goes down!
I believe in a thing called lo-ove
Ooh.
Stumble It!
