The New 1970s Lyrics Game

Hollywood Nights - Bob Seger

---

Acid, booze, and ass
Needles, guns, and grass
Lots of laughs lots of laughs
Everybody's saying that hell's the hippest way to go
Well I don't think so
But I'm gonna take a look around it though

Blue - Joni Mitchell. And remember Joe Piscopo (As Frank Sinatra), saying here's a real cool cat, Bruce Springstein.


------take my blues away
Make your pain the same as yours
With every change you play 

     

take my blues away
Make your pain the same as yours
With every change you play

Jazzman - Carole King

Did you light the candles? Did you put on "Kind of Blue"?
Did you use that Ivy Leaage voodoo on him, too?

Did you light the candles? Did you put on "Kind of Blue"?
Did you use that Ivy Leaage voodoo on him, too?

Genius - Warren Zevon

This really blew my mind, the fact that me,
An overfed, long-haired leaping gnome

Spill the Wine - Eric Burdon with War. Supossedly, his self-deprecating references are what a critic once called him

I guess some day my kids will ask me 'bout the old days
I guess that I'll tell them there ain't much to tell
The waiters wore black dinner jackets and all that kind of thing  
 

I guess some day my kids will ask me 'bout the old days
I guess that I'll tell them there ain't much to tell
The waiters wore black dinner jackets and all that kind of thing 

The Band Wore Blue Shirts  --  Joe Jackson



Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours
Ours a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly

Blue Velvet - Bobby Vinton


Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean  

Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean

All alone at the end of the of the evening
And the bright lights have faded to blue

All alone at the end of the of the evening
And the bright lights have faded to blue

Bluegirls come in every size
Some are wise and some otherwise,
They got pretty blue eyes.
For an hour a man may change

Ripples - Genesis

They say this town will waste your mind
I guess they're right 'cause its wasted mine
Some got to win, some got to lose 

 

They say this town will waste your mind
I guess they're right 'cause its wasted mine
Some got to win, some got to lose

You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue

Soon she's going to fly away
Sadness is her own   

Bluebird - Buffalo Springfield

Late 60's for this one, hope it hasn't already been used...


Yes I'm lonely wanna die
Yes I'm lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.

Yep I used it, but that's OK. I think there's still enough to go around before a theme change

Yer Blues - The Beatles 


When I get the blues gonna get me a rockin' chair
When the blues overtake gonna rock me away from here 

 

When I get the blues gonna get me a rockin' chair
When the blues overtake gonna rock me away from here

"Flip, Flop & Fly"  by  The Blues Brothers - nice double there, Clean! 

Every day, in your indigo eyes
I watch the sun set but I don't see it  rise
Moonlight and stars in your  strawberry wine
You'd take  the world but you won't take the time

Every day, in your indigo eyes
I watch the sun set but I don't see it  rise
Moonlight and stars in your  strawberry wine
You'd take  the world but you won't take the time

Jackie Blue - Ozark Mountain Daredevils

I've always loved that line - in your indigo eyes

She wore faded jeans and soft black leather
She had eyes so blue they looked like weather

She wore faded jeans and soft black leather
She had eyes so blue they looked like weather

"It'll All Work Out"  by  Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers  


Hey Rhino! 

Early 80s tune from an iconic 70s band:

We met in a bar out on Chesapeake  Bay
With her white patent boots and her blouse red  lame

 
  

Angel in Blue - J Geils Band


This song was a huge instrumental hit right now as we speak in '68, but there are vocal versions too


Black, black the nights I've known
Longing for you so lost and alone
Gone gone the love we knew
Blue is my world now I'm without you    

  
      

Black, black the nights I've known
Longing for you so lost and alone
Gone gone the love we knew
Blue is my world now I'm without you   

Love Is Blue - Paul Mauriat

Hey Rhino! 

Hey Rock!
How the heck are ya?

Clean is right.
There must be a lot of songs still available for this theme because I just checked and this awesome tune hasn't beeen used yet:

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home
Your empty handed armies, are all going home
Your lover who just walked out the door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home
Your empty handed armies, are all going home
Your lover who just walked out the door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor

It's All Over Now, Baby Blue  --  Bob Dylan



Blue jean Baby, L.A. Lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile
You married the music man
