Lyricsnippets

I have an idea. Let's create a thread ( voilá ) where each post (this being the obvious exception) is a snippet from a song lyrics. And each post must be related to the previous post in some way. You must also name the song and band/artist (preferrably the original) that has recorded it.

I'll start:

"All lies and jest, still the man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest"
The Boxer, Simon & Garfunkel

Hi this thread. Meet me.

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger

"You're right, you're right there is no point,
So what's the point in this?"

Exploited-there is no point.

(to continue properly,

"he’s the last rebel
And he’s all alone
He’s the last rebel
His friends are all gone
He’s the last rebel
The last rebel on the road"

lynyrd skynyrd-the last rebel)

"I was a free man in paris, I felt unfettered and alive,
nobody calling me up for favors, no one's future to decide.
I'd go back there tomorrow but for this work I've taken on,
stokin' the star maker machinery behind the popular song"

See if you know who wrote that. One of my favorite lines BTW.

Joni Mitchell (also Neil Diamond has recorded it - other than that I don't know)

"I remember paris in ’49
The champs elyses
Saint michel and old beaujolais wine"
Parisienne Walkways, Gary Moore (Thin Lizzy)

Ok! Ok! Silence, Silence!
Écoutez moi. Je suis le professeur. Répétez après moi:
Door.
-Door.
Street.
-Street!
Lady.
-Lady!
Window.
-Window!
Flowers.
-Flowers!

Maybe we should also have the link between the post and the previous one disclosed too?
