First Line Frenzy

[higherlevel4u]

Okay, all you lovers of games on Lit, especially musical . . . I think this may have been going once, but I haven't seen it lately

I will start by giving you the first line (or two) from a song, the next poster has to name the song and then post one of his/her own for the next poster and so on . . .

I shall start with an easy one (!):

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?

He had a yellow cat which wouldn't leave its home...

"This cat came back" he couldn't stay away, the cat came back the very next day...?




I've watched you go through changes
That no man should face alone
Take to heel or tame the horse
The choice is still your own

"Wounded Bird" - Crosby Stills Nash

I'm Standing on a bridge

I'm with you-Avril Lavigne

We used to say
That come the day
We'd all be making songs
Or finding better words
These ideas never lasted long

I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm, your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm,
yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new, in city and in forest they smiled like me and you,

On a night just like this, in a place far away
He met with a girl in the spring
And something about him just turned her around
As though she were caught on a string

Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
