Musical Sparks

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

This is going to be like the Word Watch thread a few fields up. Instead of just one word though, we'll use, at most, 2 lines from a song. I'll start.

I've been leaving on my things
so in the morning when the morning birds sing

[Mistress of Darkness]

"Even though the bird has flown
Maybe he'll fly on home"

[House of Mustard]

I'm gonna fly like an eagle to the sea,
Fly like an eagle, let my spirit carry me.

[Mr_Pleasington]

We fell in love, in the key of C
We walked along, down by the sea

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Staring at the sea
Staring at the sand
Staring at myself
Reflected in the eyes
Of the dead man on the beach
The dead man on the beach

[House of Mustard]

Back at home, a young wife waits.
Her Green Beret has met his fate.
He has died for those oppressed,
leaving her this last request:
Put silver wings on my son's chest
Make him one of America's best.
He'll be a man they test one day,
the brave men of the Green Beret.

I was thinking about dead people on beaches.

[Mr_Pleasington]

What happened to the 2 line rule?

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I threw it out

Some mother's son lies in a field
Some mother's son ain't coming home today
Some mothers son ain't got no grave

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

you son of a bitch
I palindrome I

You uncoordinated ghast. Follow the rule. The one rule.

[House of Mustard]

The devil went down to Georgia
he was lookin' for a soul to steal.

Later in the song it uses the colorful phrase Gemm inspired us with.

[stacer]

Fire on the mountain run boys run
Devil's in the house of the rising sun
Chicken in the breadpan pickin' out dough


Sorry, I know that's three, but it's incomplete without chicken in the breadpan, and weird if I cut out the middle line.

Mustard--or sun of a gun, depending on whether you're listening to it on a radio station that plays the edited version

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I met a little devil called the buena buena
And since I met the devil I ain't been the same oh no!
it's the buena buena buena good good good!

[House of Mustard]

Down in the west Texas town of El Paso,
I fell in love with a Mexican girl.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Just how far down do you want to go?
We can talk it out over a cup of joe,
and you can look deep into my eyes like I was a supermodel.

It's from "Banditos," a song about crossing the Mexican border to commit a robbery, in case you were wondering how I made that jump

[Mr_Pleasington]

Look at me, I can write a melody
But I can't expect a soul to care

From "Sucked Out" a song that I forever associate with "Banditos" as they were one-hit wonders released at the same time that were played to death
