The New 1970s Lyrics Game

The way you swerve and curve, really wrecks my nerves
And I'm so excited, child [Yeah], woo, woo
The way you push, push let's me know that you're good
You're gonna get your wish] Oh, yeah

"Fire"  by  Ohio Players 
 

All you guitar players
Scalding hot
And Zeke's going at it
Givin' it everything he's got

Stand in the Fire - Warren Zevon

It's crazy how these things work out, I used to think I had no chance
And I somehow thought you'd slip away
You pulled me through the fear and doubt, gave me all I'm looking for
Everything I needed to stay

Walk Through The Fire - Bad Company

Well you getta little buzz, send for the fuzz,
Guitars getting higher and higher.
The dude in the paint thinks he's gonna faint,
Stoke more coke on the fire.

Anybody see that warehouse fire on the news in Chicago? Deep freeze in midwest turned that building into giant ice house after the fireman were down spraying out the blaze. Cool looking image.

Slip- I think my Wings may need to sign Mr Hockey to a one year contract. Our team is stinking but I see your Flyers off to a wrose start. At least they got in an entertaining donnybrook with the Devils recently, lol. 

The Golden Age of Rock and Roll - Def Leppard


They burned the churches up in Harlem
Like in that Spanish Civil War
The flames were everywhere

"Miami 2017"  by  Billy Joel 

Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky

Burn Down the Mission - Elton John

Hello, MJ!  May I say how musch I am enjoying your John Hiatt avatar?  If you had to pull the WZ av, at least you found a worthy replacement.

Unless I mised something, didn't anybody note who would have been 66 today?

Considering your audience, Clean, I'm going to guess WZ?

Or maybe Gram Parsons.

Thanks Rhino.  I strongly associate the two together, asI "discovered" them at around the same time.  Also, they can both turn a phrase with wit and intelligence.

Unless I mised something, didn't anybody note who would have been 66 today?

I just looked it up Clean, Happy Birthday WZ.

I had a song I wanted to post, and went back to make sure it hadn't been used yet, and in the proccess forgot the song.  Damn!

Back to the drawing board.

Sorry Rock, didn't mean to call you Rhino, though I suppose there are worse things I could have called you...

I come back to the town from the flaming moon
I see you in the streets, I begin to swoon
I love to see you dress before the mirror
Won’t you let me in your room one time ’fore I finally disappear?

The Golden Age of Rock and Roll - Def Leppard

Mott The Hoople off The Hoople album 1974

Def Leppard I'm sure were highly influenced by Mott The Hoople and did cover their song.

Linking a cool promo of Golden Age:

Adandoned Love - Bob Dylan



To mass fires, yes! One hundred stories high
People gettin' loose y'all gettin' down on the roof - Do you hear?
(the folks are flaming) Folks were screamin' - out of control

"Disco Inferno"  by The Trammps


I remember the day Ted Bundy was executed by by Ol' Smoky, the electric chair at Florida State Prison in Starke; a radio station in Jacksonville played this song on continuous loop for about 3 hours--burn, baby, burn!     

And then Georgie would make the fire light
Log wood burnin' through the night

And then Georgie would make the fire light
Log wood burnin' through the night

No Woman, No Cry - The incomparable Bob Marley


We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they begin to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Battle of New Orleans - Johnny Horton

The black queen chants the funeral march
The cracked brass bells will ring
To summon back the fire witch
To the

The Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson      excellent choice


At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight [blinds] his eyes.

Trumped!!

At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight [blinds] his eyes.

Battle of Evermore - Led Zeppelin

A much better song than that other well known ballad from the same album, IMO.

As a bonus,I didn't have to google either Clean's or Packerz' lyrics.

I'll stick with my last lyrics.

Damn It! I play hooky for one day away from here and I miss John Hiatt Day! Serves me right for actually getting some work done.

Thought I saw your face in the fire
But it's so hard to remember
Even an inferno can cool down to an ember

The Only Flame In Town  --  Elvis Costello & The Attractions 



   
  

 80's Hottie girl group and the lead singer is still smokin' hot:

Say my name sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then you come and ease the pain
I don't wanna lose this feeling

Say my name sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then you come and ease the pain
I don't wanna lose this feeling

Eternal Flame - The Bangles


When I'm away from you
The road may be long and tough
But what I want you to do-
I guess you know it too-
Is keep the flame hot enough

When I'm away from you 
The road may be long and tough 
But what I want you to do- 
I guess you know it too- 
Is keep the flame hot enough

FIRE BURNING - THE AVERAGE WHITE BAND   

BRAVO PACKZ !!!!!!!    I wish I could say I saw THE AVERAGE WHITE BAND coming but that would be completely false. Even sadder, I have probably heard this song several times as 1979 was the heighth of my disco dancing/dating period when I met my first wife. And luckily, 1979 predates most forms of portable video recording so you'll have to take my word that I was actually dacing at some point in time.

NEXT LYRICS:  This song was on a lot of bootlegs of performances by this artist but wasn't released by a record label until this 1979 collection was released. Not exactly a greatest hits collection, this was more a precursor of the "box sets" that have become so popular these days. And like so many of these collections, it is the previously unmined gems like this song rather than the BIG HITS that justify buying this collection for someone like me that has always believed in the concept that albums have pacing and song placement for a reason.

So here I sit to face that same old fireplace
Getting ready for the same old explosion
Going through my mind
And soon enough the time will tell
About the circus in the wishing well
And someone who will buy and sell for me
Someone who will toll my bell
And I continue to burn ............

Burning of the Midnight Lamp - Jimi Hendrix. There is alsoa reggae version by Living Colour, Fans, did a you see the Crossfire Hurricane HBO documentary on the Rolling Stones. There's some impressive real eary footage, when the Stones were mosty a blues band.


Well, she's black as coal but will burn like a fire
And she wraps herself around you like a well-worn tire.
