Music Song lyric challenge

Onward, Christian soldiers
Marching as to war
...


"Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing,
Onward the sailors cry,
Carry the lad that is born to be King,
Over the sea to Skye"


Sir Harold Boulton, 2nd Baronet (lyrics) - Skye Boat Song

I don't know why I - English - find a romanticised ode to a traitor more appealing than a hymn favoured by Churchill. Maybe I'm a traitor too haha
 
I won't be coming home
I won't be going anywhere
I will guard this post forever

here on the alpine slope
where I did my final stand
I shall remain
Among this ice and snow that binds me to this mountain
I force of nature too strong
sent from above
where spirits lead the way, the winds will never fade

White Friday, I'll take the stairway to heaven
I'm sky high, when I die, I'll be immortal
forever, I never,
I won't return to Blood Mountain
I am the soldier of heaven.

Soldier of Heaven - Sabaton - The War to End All Wars

Next word: Shot
 
I've been left out alone like a damn criminal
I've been praying for help cause I can't take it all
I'm not done
It's not over

Now I'm fighting this war since the day of the fall
And I'm desperately holding on to it all
But I'm lost
I'm so damn lost

Oh I wish it was over
And I wish you were here
Still I'm hoping that somehow

'Cause your soul is on fire
A shot in the dark
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?

Within Temptation - Shot In The Dark <3

Angel
 
What can I say?
I can't make her stay
When I know that she's so far above
How could she ever love someone like me?
She's out of reach

Here in the dark
Inside the hole in my heart
I'm fighting all of my demons tryna tear me apart
And I'm still not sure what you ever saw in me

No, I'm a, I'm a fallen angel
And no matter where my heart is
There's no way I'll ever reach up to Heaven to you

TIX - Fallen Angel :coolcat:
Pretty much started playing in my head upon seeing the word angel lol

Poison
 
Torn between U2 and Swift...

"I wanna run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I wanna reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name

I wanna feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust-cloud
Disappear without a trace
I wanna take shelter
From the poison rain
Where the streets have no name"


U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name

Streets
 
Roaming through the city
Going nowhere fast
You're on your own at last
Hey it's getting late, where will you sleep
Gettin kind-a hungry
You forgot to bring something to eat
Oh lost with no money, you start to cry
But remember you left home
Wanting to be grown
So dry your weepin eyes
Siren screamin down, neon light is flickin
You want your mama
Ah there's nothing for you
You're frightened and confused I want my mama
But she's much too far away
She can't hear a word you say
You heard some frightening news on the radio
About little boys running away from home
And their parents don't see them no more
You wanna hitch a ride and go home
But your mama told you never trust a stranger
And you don't know which way to go
Streets are dark and deserted
Not a sound nor sign of life
How you long to hear your mother's voice
Cause you're lost and alone
But remember you make the choice

Run away child, running wild
Better go back home where you belong
Run away child, running wild
Better go back home where you belong

The Temptations - Runaway Child, Running Wild

Awesome song btw!

Mighty
 
Mighty Thor, grabs the snake
Firmly by its tongue
Lifts his hammer high to strike
Soon his work is done

Vingthor slays the guardian snake
Leading to the death
Twilight of the thundergod
Ragnarök awaits
Twilight of the thunder god
Twilight of the thunder god
Twilight of the thunder god
Twilight of the thunder god

Amon Amarth and/or Sabaton - Twilight of the Thundergod - Carolus Rex

You are the reason that I breathe

It's fine, members can turn the filter on or off 😊

But yeah it's something to keep in mind with song titles!


As for the lyrics, it has to be:

What's new pussycat whoa
What's new pussycat whoa oh

Tom Jones - What's New Pussycat?

Ah cool, wasn't sure if it was a hard-set thing...I imagine the crowd here skews older than when I signed up.

"Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Just try your best, try everything you can
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away

It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright"


Jimmy Eat World - The Middle

One of my favourites!!

Must... resist...
Spoiler:


Pretty sure I already did that one once though so....

I see a little bird that is sitting in the treetop
A pretty little bird that is sitting in the treetop
I see a little bird that is sitting in the treetop
A pretty little bird that is sitting in the treetop
I see a little bird that is sitting in the treetop
A pretty little bird that is sitting in the treetop
I see a little bird that is sitting in the treetop
A pretty little bird that is sitting in the treetop

Fly my Brazilian love bird
Fly to the one I love
Please won't you tell her that I'm the one who cares
Please bring to me her answer

Fame
 
I reminisce my life innocence or life innocent
Or life intimate, with fame

People,
People who need people,
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children, needing other children
And yet letting a grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children

Lovers, very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person (one person)
One very special person (one very special person)

Barbra Streisand - People

Late in the midnight hour
You made the worst decisions
I was always there to listen
Not this time
Let me talk

Skrillex, Boys Noize & Ty Dolla $ign - Midnight Hour

Drink
 
You see how I pull up to the party
Came in with an attitude, I'm bossy
I know that I'm keeping your attention
But I ain't tryna hook up with nobody

I took nine shots, I like the way they hit me
I'm in this club and everybody tipsy, yeah
I was gonna take it nice and steady
But now I feel like getting kinda messy
I, I'm
One drink away from saying what's on my mind
Only just a drink away from

Cher Lloyd - One Drink Away

Mirror
 
So many great options! Its 1am though so I'll go with this one:

"Message keeps getting clearer
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark"


Bruce Springsteen - Dancing in the Dark (but we all knew that)
