Well now that my anger and frustration has died down quite a bit (a lot of sleep and time away help in that department), I reckon it's time for another game of Guess the Song. We had so much fun doing it last time and I really don't feel like looking for the old thread so I figured I'd start a new one. We have a whole new set of songs and lyrics to play with so let's have a go shall we with one of my new favorites...

"The idiots had crowned me king of the acoustic guitar..."

And on a side note, I apologize to the forum for getting so upset. I shoulda just kept my anger in check and waited till I had calmed down to post. I'm still hurt but maybe there was a good reason behind all of it and I'm sure in the end it will all work out. It was just a "straw that broke the camel's back" kinda thing. So don't hate me people, I had a bad moment and I'm over it now. Now I just wanna get back to discussing the awesomeness that is Common Ro. Cuz hey the new CD does rock. It's about time, I say So bring on the lyrics! I'm all for guessing songs

Now if I could get my voice back fully to be able to sing em I'd be a very happy bear. Haha.

One Step Up. Here's a stumper for you...

It was a 6 foot wall, but that don't matter, went and bought myself a 7 foot ladder

Well, since you "refuse to go cover" I'm assuming it's not a cover, but I really think it is...bah!

It's not a cover.

well poo! I know I'm stumped...it must be one of the 3 songs I haven't heard. Dammit...now I'm annoyed LOL

Does this mean I win, or something? :D Maybe Naggz can save you all...

"Mike's Place"?

Good call Cousin.

Since we are now branching out into "28 Orange Street" songs try this:

"I can't wait 'til the end of this 'til everything comes......."

That'd be "Common Rotation". Whoo!

Here's another easy one so the other kids can play...

"All My Time"

*So neo-classical*

this is a hard one:
**People dancing in circles all around**

this is a easy one:
**Didn't know what was said, but it sure sounded pretty**

this is an instrumental one:
. . . clap, clap . . . clap-clap**

Don't know what the first one is, but the second one is "Princess of Venice." And the last one could be either "Dancer" or "Crowd and I."

Not sure about the first one off the top of my head, the second one is "Princess of venice" and the third clapping one I think is "True Hollywood Romance"?

"keeping the light off the mirror where the pages lie"

"Answering Machine"

no one ever seems to care if it's not

True Hollywood Romance is exactly what I was going for! That tune is so fucking catchy, it's worse than crabs!
I know that my #1 is hard, but not impossible. There are those out there that know that one.

I think the line is "I was well aware baby..." Have at it peeps...

Well after attempting to transcribe more lyrics I read over all the ones I have and it's none of them so I'm guessing Pretty Lights. I need a copy of that BTW

If I'm right I'll stick up a lyric. If not ignore me. Haha.

Was it that neon dress that brought on those crocodile tears?

That's Lena. And yeah, Adam sang "Wrapped Up In You" on his birthday. I can't remember the show or venue, but obviously it would be one last year around the time of his birthday. :D I'm sure someone else recalls.
