Musical monday 45
You know the drill. Musical Monday alternates between me and my friend Elie's Expositions. No googling. Figure out the lyrics and this week's theme.
1) Running around as you do with your head up in the clouds
2) Everything you do has been done, And this won't last forever
3) Give me time, To realize my crime
4) No one will be watching us
5) Can anybody love anyone so much that they will never fear
6) You said you'd give to me, soon as you were free
7) He's acting shy looking for an answer
(Please forgive me for #7)
8) Ill be here til the end of time
9) L.A. is a great big freeway
10) Are you sorry we drifted apart
11) Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?
12) Why does my heart skip a crazy beat?
13) Now the walls say your name, And the pictures are haunted
14) She touched his face and shook her head
15) 3 a.m. sit up straight in my bed
16) I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun,
17) Give me no reasons, give me alibis
18) Yesterday, and days before, sun is cold and rain is hard,
19) Clouds of mystery pourin' confusion on the ground.
20) How can you stop the rain from falling down?
21) I'm very tired, and I'm not feeling right
22) I woke up in a soho doorway
23) Used a cobra snake for a neck tie.
24) He made my baby, Fall in love with me
25) ...yearning, burning yearning ...
I'm going to probably get another Musical Monday out of this theme, so I'll stop here. (I hope Elie hasn't done it in the past.)
Plus here's a bonus.
26) Between the silence of the mountains, And the crashing of the sea,
Any songs you're embarrassed that you like when you were younger?
I didn't mention it, but I used to really like Lobo. Anyone remember him?
Bring back the music of the 70's. No not disco.

It does look like a topic I did a while back, so I'll hold back my own guesses for now. But it's a topic that could support multiple editions, as you state.
Posted by: Elie at May 19, 2008 9:21 AMAny songs you're embarrassed that you like when you were younger?
There are probably several, but the most embarrassing has to be that disco version of the Star Wars theme by Mico, which I used to actually like when it was a hit. A couple of years later I couldn't have listened to ten seconds of it without screaming and smashing the radio.
Runner up: "Afternoon Delight" by I (blissfully) forget who.
What was #1 the week you were born?
"Please Mr. Postman" by The Marvelettes. Obviously presaging my love for Marvel comics.
