New game. Guess what song the lyrics are from and if you get it right, you can add new ones.

 

 

A close encounter with a hardhearted man

Who never gave half of what he got

Has made you wish you'd never been born

That's a shame cause you got the lot

O.K.~ To keep the "Austalian" theme going... here are your lyrics peoples!

 

 

I'm the daughter of a digger

Who sought the mother lode

The girl became a woman

On a long and dusty road

I'm a child of the depression

I saw the good times come

I'm a bushy

I'm a battler

I'm the daughter of a digger

Who sought the mother lode

The girl became a woman

On a long and dusty road

I'm a child of the depression

I saw the good times come

I'm a bushy

I'm a battler

 

The song is called I'm Australian

Oh this is bad... A New Zealander knowing an Australian song better than an Australian...

Thats great to have knowledge of your heritage like that!

Anyway we are so ! Neville do you have some lyrics for us?

Edited January 13, 200916 yr by Trish

Here's one. No budgies in it though. I have a collection of about 5,000 old songs but it's hard to pick one

 

These seven long years I've been serving now

And seven long more have to stay

All for bashing a bloke down our alley

And taking his ticker away

Don't know what it's called but the next lines are:

 

she said do you come from a land down under

Where women all glow and men all plunder

Well done! We come from as land down under! You are from NZ???

Here's another one

 

A girl on a bridge at midnight

Her body all a quivver

She gave a cough

And her leg dropped off

And floated down the river

You have me on that one Neville! I can't wait to hear what happens after her leg dropped off! Must be a N.Z. song

 

I could "GOOGLE" it but that would be cheating so I'll leave it to someone else......

I'll give you a clue - It's Scottish

Edited January 13, 200916 yr by Neville

I'll give you a clue - It's Scottish

 

 

Still no idea!

Ah hahaha. Her leg Dropped off! That's hilarious.

The only song I've known so far is the Land down under song. I was babysitting over the holidays once, they had singstar, that song was on it. I probably heard it about 20 times!

The only scottish songs I know is Scotland the Brave and Danny Boy... don't think any of them but oh well...

I hang my head in shame...I googled it! Give us an easier one this time Neville, I wouldn't have guessed it in a million years! Very funny verses though.

 

The Sad Demise of Lisa Unlucky.

 

Being a somewhat flippant communal creation by the Teflfarm poets.

 

 

She stood on the bridge at midnight,

 

Her lips were all a-quiver.

 

She gave a cough,

 

Her leg fell off,

 

And floated down the river.

 

 

So frail she was and innocent,

 

No-one could wish her harm.

 

When just one sneeze,

 

And the treacherous breeze

 

Did run off with an arm.

 

 

Alone she stands in the moonlight

 

All lost in thought, and then

 

From the midnight blue,

 

Comes a lightning bolt--

 

And--oops--there goes her chin!

 

 

From one gentle eye she gazes now

 

(The other was lost to some crows)

 

When quick as a wink

 

And before she could think

 

A tiger ate off all her toes

 

 

Undaunted and still (half) in love

 

She felt in quite good cheer

 

But as she bounced towards her man

 

A sparrow got her ear.

 

 

Despite her night of accidents

 

Her love made her feel grand

 

But as she picked a red, red rose

 

A scythe lopped off her hand.

 

 

"I love you, darling" he declared.

 

Her leg it turned to jelly.

 

Then right in her gut she heard a loud "Splut!"

 

And that was the end of her belly.

 

 

 

Undaunted still, and full of warmth

 

She held his hand in her... err... teeth

 

But a wiggly worm

 

With a schlurp and a squirm

 

Chomped off what was left underneath

 

 

Poor Lisa-loo didn't know what to do,

 

She bowed her head in despair

 

When along came a spider

 

Who sat down besider

 

And wove a nice web with her hair

 

Her eyebrows were oh so expressive

 

As she wiggled her pledges of love

 

But then a huge crane

 

Took off half her brain

 

And her forehead was lifted above.

 

 

 

Most of Lisa was up in the sky

 

Spiritually beaming around

 

At the very small part

 

Of her still loving heart

 

Which was jumping about on the ground.

 

 

Poor Jimmy John!

 

Lisa had gone!

 

But her heart was still with him at least.

 

But as he bent down

 

To pick it from the ground

 

It was eaten by a hungry beast.

 

Oh Jimmy John Jack!

 

Alas and alack!

 

What was the poor boy to think?

 

Then he did espy

 

Just walking by,

 

Her sister. He gave a big wink.

 

But no, my dear friend

 

That is not the end

 

Don't be so quick to go off.

 

Lisa's sad tale is true

 

 

And if I were you,

 

I wouldn't go out with a cough.
