Yes, another chain. Much like the Book Quotes chain, this one will involve a quote rather than a title. Simply paste a line or two from a song that is in some way linked to the preceding entry.
For instance, if I started with:
It's not against any religion
To want to dispose of a pigeon
You could reply with:
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
or
Bye, bye Birdie
I'm gonna miss you so
To begin:
It's not against any religion
To want to dispose of a pigeon

I'm going to fly like an eagle,

Steve Miller Band, I think you can guess the song name. |

I'm just riding the tide
nothing more
and it's bound to take me out some
before it brings me back to shore

Well, it's not too far from paradise
At least, it's not for me
When the wind is right I can sail away
Find tranquility
Sailing, Christopher Cross

A way out west they got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire Joe
And they call the wind Maria

Maria,
I just met a girl named Maria!
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To Me...

She touched me,
I simply have to face the fact
She touched me
Control myself and try to act
As if I remember my name
But she touched me,
She touched me,
And suddenly
Nothing is the same
( If I have to know things by heart, I'm in a lot of trouble.
To be blunt, I mince, well, chop things up awfully crudely.
I have to check the lyrics. I usually don't remember where I heard it or from whence it came. Please, go easy on me.
I do want to play! I actually learn a few things! )  Find the lyrics and a sound sample here

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon now, Touch me, babe,
Can't you see that I am not afraid
What was that promise that you made

What's it gonna take in the 90's to burn
The charts? Legit
Either work hard or you might as well quit
That's word because you know...
You can't touch this
Can't touch this
You can't touch this
Break it down! Stop, Hammer time!
Oops, I forgot to say who that was or what song it is It's You Can't Touch This (or was that U?) by MC Hammer. Thanks for making me search my memory banks. Who knew I had that song up in there?

It's a hammer of justice
It's a bell of freedom
It's a song to sing
All over this land

This land is your land
This land is my land
From California
To the New York Island
From the redwood forests
To the Gulf Stream Waters
This land was made for you and me
This Land Is Your Land

Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or Hollywood.
I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line-
I'm in a New York state of mind.
New York State of Mind by who was it??? Billy Joel I think. |

East side, west side
All around the town
The tots sing ring-a-rosie
London Bridge is falling down
The boys and girls together
Me and Mamie O'Roarke
Tripped the light fantastic
On the sidewalks of New York.
(I love that song. Used to sing it dozens of times over to the Poopster when he was a newborn and needed to be sung to sleep.  ) |

It's very fancy on old Delancy street you know.
The subway charms us so
When balmy breezes blow to and fro.

Won't you stand beside me darling
so I donŐt have to feel so alone
Hold me tight all through the night
when that old winter wind begins to blow

Blow, Gabriel, blow.
Come on and blow, Gabriel blow.
I've been a sinner, I've been a scamp
But now I'm ready to trim my lamp
So blow, Gabriel, blow.

That I just couldn't resist
Just one little kiss so exciting Come a Little Bit Closer, Jay & the Americans |

Dexy's Let's dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let's swing
to the song they're playing on the radio - David Bowie
(of course this time I probably screwed up a word or two in the lyrics  )
