Name that Song!

So, Zoso, Blankman, and I were skyping and tossing assorted YouTube links into the chat.  Zos quoted Pink Floyd and it all just went crazy from there.

So, here is the deal.  Let's see if/how quickly we can recognize and place lyrics from our favorite songs.  (I think a long time ago, Average suggested doing music, but we couldn't think of a way to do "Name that tune")  This is different.  This is "Place Those Lyrics!"

For those of you who don't remember the Place That Quote diary, the rules are simpl3e:

   1. Post the lyrics as a starter post - all guesses branch off that thread.
   2. Post as many as you like, but let's keep it to only three of your own unsolved lyrics quotes at a time.  Are you trackin' with me?  
   3. Obscurity is welcome, but don't be a dick.
   4. NO SEARCHING THE INTERNET for the answers for other people's quotes.  If you don't know it on sight, just ignore it or post that you are stumped. You are, however, allowed to search for the correct wording of the lyrics that are posting.
   5. Multiple lyrics quotes in multiple threads originating from the same song is okie dokie! Some songs just have a ton of great lines, what can we say?
   6.  Feel free to post a link to a YouTube vid of the song once it has been guessed.  Then we can all get a chance to check it out without searching for it.

I will start the diary with one songs. I will answer myself to establish the format.

      Here is the preceding part of that first verse:

      "When I think of those East End lights,
      muggy nights,
      The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs,
      Prima Donna lord you really should have been there,
      Sitting like a princess,
      perched in her electric chair"

      (think 1970s and big glasses)

  •  "It went right by me, (none / 0)

    At the time it went over my head
    I was looking out the window
    I should have looked at your face instead

    It went right by me
    Just another wall
    There should have been a moment
    When we let our barriers fall
    I never meant what you're thinking...
    That's not what I meant at all.

    ::snip::

    Closed for my protection
    Open to your scorn
    Between these two directions
    My heart is sometimes torn

    ::snip::

    I find no absolution
    In my rational point of view
    Maybe some things are instinctive
    But there's one thing you could do
    You could try to understand me
    I could try to understand you.
    You could try to understand me
    I could try to understand you."

      I am just gonna give the answer and link it.  Great feel good song, and wonderful poetry!

      Michael Buble (with an accent on the final e)
      "Everything" from the album, "Call Me Irresponsible"

      "You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
      And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
      You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
      You're every minute of my everyday."

      I think those are about the nicest things one person could say to another.

  •  "Whats wrong with the world mama? (none / 0)

    People livin like they aint got no mamas
    I think the whole world's addicted to the drama
    Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
    Overseas, yeah, we tried to stop terrorism
    But we still got terrorist here livin
    in the USA the big CIA
    the bloods and the crips and the KKK
    but if you only have love for your own race
    then you only leave space to discriminate
    and to discriminate only generates hate
    and when u hate then youre bound to get irate, yeah
    Badness is what you demonstrate
    And thats exactly how anger works and operates
    Man, u gotta have love just to set it straight
    take control of your mind and meditate
    let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all"

    Dear Dominique I wrote to tell you you're delightful
    Still I know you want a strangle or a mouth full
    Of gasoline or to be tied up and stoned
    I wrote to tell you that I hope you're feeling better
    Self addressed stamped envelope stuffed with your own death letter
    Written in blood and in your own handwriting
    There's a house on the block that's empty now that Dominique's gone

    Well 13524 Park and East Boulevard
    Your last stroll down the block was in the trunk of a car
    I must admit that we never thought you'd go this far
    Dear Dominique well I hope you're feeling better
    You look so cute writing out your own death letter
    Well now there's no one to watch your TV

    "Truth, covered in security
    I can't let you smother me
    I'd like to, but it couldn't work
    Trading off taking turns

    I don't regret a thing
    And I've got this friend, you see
    Who makes me feel
    And I want it more
    Then I can steal

    I'll arrest myself
    I'll wear a shield
    I'll go out of my way
    To prove I still
    Smell her on you"

    "All your life is just a disguise
    All you gave, a thousand lies
    I know hate's no clue
    Don't want to stay where there's no answer

    With myself I'm in disgrace
    But I was pushed into this maze
    Oh my thoughts are new
    Now I am sure to remember

    I'm wasting my time to wait for solutions
    I seek out the sun, a ray of light to clear my way"

    Bang bang baby shot
    me in the heart, in the dark,
    with the dart of the spark
    when it hit.
    When we me at the spot
    it was hot, like this song
    saw the thong, it was on.
    Now it's 8 in the mornin'
    I move on like the Greyhound bus
    I go town to town
    and I prey on sluts.
    I got to go,
    so scream out your area code.
    I'm comin' all the way
    live from the 310!
    I gotta whole lot of love
    but none like you.
    You make me wanna stay
    here in heaven with you.
    I'll write your name in the sand,
    put your hand with mine.
    Come on baby,
    shoot your gun in the sky!

  •  Heres one (none / 0)

    "Look at me
    Look at me
    Driving and I won't stop
    And it feels so good to be
    Alive and on top
    My reach is global
    My tower secure
    My cause is noble
    My power is pure
    I can hand out a million vaccinations
    Or let'em all die in exasperation
    Have'em all grilled leavin lacerations
    Have'em all killed by assassination"

    My favourite part of the song

    "You see I got this problem
    I need help tryna solve it
    Cos meeting after meeting and Im still a cookie whore
    You can hide them, Imma find them, on the counter, in the closet
    And Ill say I aint do it with my face covered in chocolate
    My girl be setting booby traps
    To catch me eating Scooby snacks
    I left crumbs in the bed once
    But I told her I was through with that
    She still dont be believing me
    And I guess that Im cool with that
    But I got a sweet tooth, thatll never come loose
    And the truth of the matter is."
