13 Lyrics About MURDER (or Attempted Murder)
01. Delilah (Tom Jones) "At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door She stood there laughing I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more"
02. These Hands (The Damned) Chasing you through the night with my hands around your neck funny how everything seems in technicolour, yet I find I'm laughing at you and you are turning blue
03. El Paso (Marty Robbins) [Verse 3] So in anger, I challenged his right for the love of this maiden Down went his hand for the gun that he wore My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor
04. Hey Joe (Jimi Hendrix) Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun of your hand? Hey Joe, I said, where you goin' with that gun in your hand? Oh I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man, yeah
05. I Hold Your Hand in Mine - Written and sung by Tom Lehrer I hold your hand in mine, dear, I press it to my lips. I take a healthy bite From your dainty fingertips. My joy would be complete, dear, If you were only here, But still I keep your hand As a precious souvenir. The night you died I cut it off. I really don't know why. For now each time I kiss it I get bloodstains on my tie. I'm sorry now I killed you, For our love was something fine, And till they come to get me I shall hold your hand in mine.
06. Delia's Gone (Johnny Cash) Delia, oh, Delia Delia all my life If I hadn't shot poor Delia I'd have had her for my wife Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
07. The Irish Ballad - Written and sung by Tom Lehrer (1st verse) About a maid I'll sing a song, Sing rickety-tickety-tin, About a maid I'll sing a song Who didn't have her family long. Not only did she do them wrong, She did ev'ryone of them in, · Them in, She did ev'ryone of them in.
08. Nebraska - Bruce Springsteen I saw her standin' on her front lawn Just a-twirlin' her baton Me and her went for a ride, sir And ten innocent people died From the town of Lincoln, Nebraska With a sawed-off .410 on my lap Through to the badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my path
09. Mack The Knife (Bobby Darin) Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear And he shows them pearly white Just a jackknife has old Macheath, babe And he keeps it out of sight You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe Scarlet billows start to spread Fancy gloves, though, wears old Macheath, babe So there's never, never a trace of red

10. Miss Otis Regrets - words and lyrics by Cole Porter Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today Madam Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today She is sorry to be delayed But last evening down in Lover's Lane she strays Madam Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today When she woke up and found that her dream of love was gone Madam She ran to the man who had led her so far astray And from under her velvet gown She drew a gun and shot her love down Madam Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today

11. The Death of Emmett Till (Bob Dylan) Some men they dragged him to a barn and there they beat him up. They said they had a reason, but I can't remember what. They tortured him and did some evil things too evil to repeat. There was screaming sounds inside the barn, there was laughing sounds out on the street. Then they rolled his body down a gulf amidst a bloody red rain And they threw him in the waters wide to cease his screaming pain. The reason that they killed him there, and I'm sure it ain't no lie, Was just for the fun of killin' him and to watch him slowly die.

She's a murderess, murderer She likes to go for the jugular Murderess, murderer That woman of yours is a killer

13 Song Lyrics About Non-Romantic Love/Brotherhood (Note: please try to keep your selections non-sectarian; humorous lyrics allowed)
01. "Get Together"
Love is but a song we sing Fear's the way we die You can make the mountains ring Or make the angels cry Though the bird is on the wing And you may not know why
Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now
Some may come and some may go We will surely pass When the one that left us here Returns for us at last We are but a moment's sunlight Fading in the grass
Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now (2x) --Chet Powers

Through thick and through thin, all out or all in And whether it's win, place or show With you for me and me for you We'll muddle through whatever we do Together, wherever we go.

05. "Friends and Neighbours" - Max Bygraves
When you've got friends and neighbours All the world is a happier place Friends and neighbours Put a smile on the gloomiest face Just take your little troubles and share 'em With the folks next door Make's it twice as easy to bear 'em That's what friends are for 'cos if you've friends and neighbours That is something money won't buy You can hold your head up high Although you've not a penny And your house may be tumbling down With friends and neighbours You're the richest man in town.

Since nobody has posted on this thread since July, I think it's time to start a new topic. And since today (for a couple more hours here in Al's home state of California) is the 63rd birthday of "Weird Al" Yankovic, I thought it appropriate to make the next round of this game about the virtuoso accordionist and King of Parody. So:
13 Quotes From Songs by "Weird Al" Yankovic. Specify if lyric is from one of his originals (O) or a parody (P). If the latter, identify the song that his lyric parodies.
01. "Bob" (O [but a take-off on a certain folksinger-songwriter's style])
I man am regal A German am I Never odd or even If I had a hi-fi Madam I'm Adam Too hot to hoot No lemons no melon Too bad I hid a boot Lisa Bonet ate no basil Warsaw was raw Was it a car or a cat I saw [And that's just the first verse, folks! Three cheers for whoever figures out what all the lines have in common.]
