Here's a new game for us: One person posts a word or phrase and the next person has to come up with song lyrics that contain that word or phrase.  Please also give the name of the song and the artist.  For example, if the word is "pub"

"I was born inside the pub, if the tale's to be believed.

But I think it's much more likely it's there I was conceived."

Time, Drink 'Em Up by Gaelic Storm

Everybody get how to play?  Good.  We'll start with something easy.

The word is "black."

God's favorite joke since 1984.

"If you don't think, you shouldn't talk!" - The March Hare, Alice In Wonderland

Gosh, that's a toughy!  How 'bout "The Ol' Black Rum's got a hold on me, like a dog wrapped round my leg."

Sooooo...

 "brave"

In the social order, I accept the bottom rung, until the wine is pouring and the Lord commands a song!

"Now that I'm alone again, I can't stop breaking down again, The simplest things set me off again, And take me to that place, Where I can't find my brave face."

"My Brave Face" - Paul McCartney

There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results.”

Love is a song that I sing when I'm sad
Love's what I give to the world when I'm glad
Love's every friendship that I've ever had
Love is the only soldier left

Love is the Only Soldier by Jann Arden

"I'm alive and I'm free / Who wouldn't wanna be me?" ~ Keith Urban

They crouched down low.
Sat in the front row.
Untied the rope so they could fly
Hold on tight, let's get it just right,
We'll take our last flight. You and I.

Fly, by Moxy Früvous.

Try "Coffin"!

Easy! Thanks for the opportunity to plug a great song from one of THE classic albums of the '90s Eternal life is now on my trail

Got my red glitter coffin man, just need one last nail

While all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games

There's a flaming red horizon that screams our names

Eternal Life by Jeff Buckley, from "Grace" (1994)

Ok I cheated. Dang you can find anything on Google!

 

Coffin car, she’s riding a coffin car.
People watching her with tender eyes,
Friends whispering in kindly words,
Children running, waving hands,
Telling each other, how pretty she is.

Where players dash with skates aflash the home team trails behind
But they grab the puck and go bursting up and they're down across the line
They storm the crease like bumble bees they travel like a burning flame
We see them slide the puck inside -It's a "1-1" hockey game!

The Hockey Song ~ Stompin' Tom

Kristin

"I'm alive and I'm free / Who wouldn't wanna be me?" ~ Keith Urban

The dawn of hope is like the breath of spring,

It stays a while then leaves.

All too soon we let our hearts forget

The joy they just received.

Michael McLean and Bryce Newbert "Breath of Spring" from The Garden

I met with an old man who was cloth-ed all in leather"

The moment you awaken
So you never miss the dawn.
