Musical Monday 05/28/2007

In last week's Haveil Havalim, Jack's Shack wondered where A Whispering Soul was. Would he return? Who knows?

But one thing I missed about A Whispering Soul, was his Musical Menu Mondays in which he'd offer up a story, a recipe and song lyrics for his readers to identify. Well, all I have here are song lyrics. The first two establish the theme. The rest have a common thread or two relating to that theme. Identify the songs and the theme. (Though I used Google to help me get the lyrics right, no fair using Google to identify the songs. I don't know lyrics the way A Whispering Soul does!) No guarantees that this will be a weekly feature.

1) My dreams they aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be ... (corrected, see comment #3 below)
2) You're out riding fences ...

3) I'm looking for the king of 42nd Street
4) the tracks he saw while on his way to Andy's house
5) he was a future ex-husband ... can't you see?
6) we never saw 'em comin' til they read us both our rights
7) learned a lesson 'bout messin' with the wife of a jealous man
8) When two men go out to face each other, only one returns
9) I needed money 'cause I had none
10) little sister don't miss when she aims her gun
11) His name was Rico, he wore a diamond.
12) She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
13) Cause he was in the mood for a little confrontation.
14) he knows just exactly what the facts is
15) reflexes got the better of me
16) The silicon chip inside her head Gets switched to overload
17) A scene badly written in which I must play

UPDATE: 18) ... playing poker on a losin' night

I forgot to mention that A Whispering Soul didn't object to my co-opting his idea. Thanks.

And whoops, I see the lyrics to 4 and 10 are for the same song.

Song Lyrics, Popular Music.
