Mozz just gave me an idea with his quotes under his posts...

What about our own "Lyrics Board" online, someone quotes a line from

an old Grove song and see who/how many can guess the title/singer/or next line or even a question...like "who walks like a woman and talks like a man?" think it might be a bit of fun!

Stevie

[QUOTE=Stevie]

Try this " to taste anew the fruits of life,the last immortal man "

Rolo

Rush.. A Farewell to Kings - got ya

Try this!

"I hate that sadness in your eyes"

Stones, Angie.

Sorry 'bout your car.

Top of the Class!

"YOU GO TO THE FIELDS ON WEEKDAYS"

But what about the  " Picnic on Labour ( or is it Labor ) Day ",

Nutbush City Limits.

Ace of Spades, Motorhead.

" We got Computers, we're tapping Phonelines "

Rolo

 We got Computers, we're tapping Phonelines " We are Talking Heads - great band.

"In your long black limosine"

Yeah Teresa, one of my favourites.

Saw David Byrne in the Olympia last year.Unbelievable show.

Half the set was Heads songs and the rest from his solo stuff.

Yours is Grace Jones " Pull up to the Bumper."

Try this " What are the feelings you left behind."

Rolo.

U2 - A Day Without Me

"if the illusion is real"

Cars

Let the good times Roll.

Last one for me for a while , work etc. Will be impressed if you get this one.

Will have to think about the one you sent.

Conference call for me now so see ya later.

Have a good one.

It's Magazine. " Feed the Enemy ", probably cheated a little.

See ya.

Rolo.

You're all so good at this! I thought I knew my Grove songs until I read some of these.

Try this: In what year did she "come out of sun in a silk dress running like a water-colour in the rain.....

Loved this quote its so descriptive!

Stevie

Al Stewart - The Year of the Cat" great great song...

"and you place the flowers in the jar"

Aaah eejit91...we must be the same era...love this one too

"Our House"-Crosby Stills Nash & Young (Dejá vu" album I think)

Stevie

Ok for anyone but Pat think this fits your era!  I woldn't imagine it was the Grove type of song!

I felt as if something, somewhere

Claire,

Was it Gilbert O'Sullivan ?

 You wouldn't believe some of the things I know.

Now,tell me to where I'm referring when I tell you that

".................they've got some bungalows "

The Best Of The Doors - Roadhouse Blues

I probably wouldn't believe all that you know!!! I wont test you on it either for fear of what you might tell me!!!

"Take me back way back home,"

Think you've got me on that one..............

Only joking, ZZ Top. Tush. Good one though.

" lost myself in a familiar song "

Boston - More than a feeling - really love that song.

Lullabies, look in your eyes

Jaysus Teresa,

You're really digging up the old classics now.

Hope Biker Pat's not listening in, he might think you're referring to his age.

Neil Young.

" The Pound's so old it's a pity "

See ya.

Alternative Ulster  SLF Another great Song.

Yes digging way back into the old Grove Songs.

Let's See:

"Some things are better left unsaid"

Hint, not that I believe you need one! but not a grove song!!!! Just someone I love to listen to.

If it's Hall and Oates my opinion of your musical taste has just plummeted, if however it's Busted then just don't go there !!!!!!!!!!

Which is it ?  ( Hope it's neither and I've got one wrong and you tell me it's some obscure Bowie song or something.)

Oh yeah,nearly forgot " This sadness it never ceases "

Rolo.

Neither - Annie Lennox - why - just think she has a great voice - always have.  I studied vocal training in the college of music for a couple of years so my music choice varies quite a lot.

I was not sure what yours was so had a look on the web and it brought up Tears for Fears - Curt Smith - had a listen - sounds good.  I used to love Tears for Fears back in the Cricket Club days.  Although I love the Grove sounds - I think there was lots of good music throughout the 80s.  Good choice if thats right, and now maybe I'll have to go out and pick up some of his music. Sorry cheated there.

"Chance for me to escape from all I've known"

Sorry,but not right,

It's Lizzy " Still in love with you " From Live and Dangerous,one of my favourites.

Yours is Simply Red.

Just dragged a couple of Manor House names up from the recesses,Orla and Fiona Fitzsimons from Ennafort . Ring any bells ?

Just back from St.Anne's Park this afternoon, ( hurling with 9 year old and not a flagon or a naggin in sight.)

" cops in cars,topless bars "

Rolo.

I know Orla & hubby Fergal well and almost always see her with the gang when I am home.  Do you see them in Harry's at all?

Gosh it is a small world.

There are days I long for a walk in St. Anne’s - your making me homesick now.

I got you way wrong on the last song! Lizzy, ah well. Actually when I was home last year I went out to visit my parent’s grave and just beside theirs is Phil Lynott, what a waste.  Great band also.

To answer your question: The Doors, L.A. Women

A little Trivia!

"What's the real name of Freddie Mercury"

Orla and Fergal live two doors from us.My aforementioned nine year old,let's call him Eoin,and theirs,Fiachra,are mates.

We've shared many a lemonade or two over the ten or so years we've known them.There was one incident with a bottle of Jack Daniels after Orla's thirtieth that Fergal remembers well.

Orla's a barrel of laughs.We spent last New Years Eve in their house , kids and all , 'til about five thirty, totally unplanned.

You must know Carol McGrane then ?

Farouk Bulsara or something,isn't it ?, I've run out of lyrics as well, at least until tomorrow.

Rolo.

Name does not ring a bell at all.

Tell Orla and Fergal I said hello - Teresa will do and they will know who I am - mention USA.

You could not have better neighbors! Orla is a blast, full of life.  Fergal is mad.  Anyhow your correct on the lyrics - someone else has to jump in and give us both something to think about!

Busy week ahead! Yuck...

Sure, I'll pass on your regards during the week.

Leave you with this one " Remember when you were young "

Rolo.

Pink Floyd - SHine on you Crazy Diamond.

Try this

"I'm mad and that's a fact"

" They say animals don't worry, they're living on nuts and berries "

From Fear of Music.

A hard one please............

How about " a show of strength from the boys brigade "

Rolo.

Teresa, sleep in today ?

Yours is Jackson Browne, Pat assume yours is CSNY,

"Helpless" by Neil Young

Jaysus, I can't catch up with the posts. Was away in Paris seeing a pal of mine. Took in a concert by Sinead O' Connor. She's gone all Jah and reggae. Not my kinda music but I have to admit she has some voice. Good gig, Olympia was the name of the place, good crowd.

Now where were we............

"the west coast has the sunshine"

Must be Beach Boys " California Girls "

You can't be a Dave Lee Roth fan ...............can you?

Rolo.

JUMP

No answer to that.

Rolo.

How about,

"I think I might be sinking"

" Throw me a line,if I reach it in time......"

Going to California.

You never answered this one " A show of strength from the boys brigade "

Rolo. ( I'll have to think of something profound for my sig.Getting boring.)

No, it's The Jam, " Going Underground "

Does anyone work around here ?

Rolo.

It ain't what they call rock & roll!

Have a shot at that - and hell no, no one works around here...

It's Sultans of Swing, a classic if ever there was one.

" She sees the bartender in a pool of blood "

How's the car ?

Rolo.

Bob Dylan - Hurricane

Don't mention the war! I am waiting for the insurance company to call me, a 24hr turn around my ass!!! Can't close the boot so lights stay on - it's a mess. Get me a rental, fix the van and let’s move on. Can't you tell I'm an impatient woman...?

"Her mind is Tiffany"

Was it the car reference that suggested that one to you ?

Hate the Eagles.

But do like this one " Ain't never been there,they tell me it's nice."

Rolo.

"Life's been good" eh no not really since Friday...

How are you changing your posts! See when it posted to my email there was an extra line – caught you – My bark is worse than my bite.

"I wanna be your backdoor man"

" Whole Lotta Love "

Sorry,thought it was a bit cheeky.

There's an edit button at the bottom which allows you change your own posts in certain forums,if you reckon you might have said something inappropriate.( Used it lots of times,won't try that again.)

Inspector bleedin' Clouseau

Listen, heard Gerry Ryan is running a comp.on the radio whereby whoever comes up with the best reason why,will be brought home to Ireland for Christmas.

As an ex Grover himself,he's sure to give you a sympathetic ear if you lay it on thick enough about missing all the tribute nights etc.

" I've been hurt before and I know the score "

Rolo.

Inspector bleedin' Clouseau - LOL I love that, actually you had me thinking I was going bleedin mad!

I don't have the edit button - I would like to change some of mine at times but couldn't... I'm not easily offended - a hard Irish lass here.

Anyhow I'm lost on your one! back to work for me - I'll have to pour my heart out to Jerry.

"A boy tries hard to be a man"

Mine's Dylan again , " Is your Love in Vain "

Yours is  " I will Follow ", you'll never get me on a U2 Lyric , I'm a huge fan.Seen them millions of times.

Leave you with this " I got nine lives, cat's eyes."

See ya.

Rolo.

Van Halen - Pat am I right

Rolo ACDC - Back in Black

Now let's see "Who's gonna block your ears, when you scream?"

The Cars, " Drive ",

Thats the second Cars number you've picked.

I'm off home from work now so 'til the next time,

" If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind "

Rolo.

U2 - Bad

And I'll pick another Car's if I want!

see if you can get this one! Anyone?

skip the air-strip to the sunset yeah

B 52S Roam.

" Away from me so hurriedly,my reason must allow"

Bit of a cheat really,not a Grove song,but one of my favourites.

Look at you with your trendy sig.

Rolo.

I'd say it's a poem - perhaps later a song! A bit of the traditional am I right?

Let's see if someone else can guess!

Well you’re all tucked up in bed back in Ireland now! And I'm on my way there myself - so I bid you farewell and goodnight! till tomorrow...

ive never heard of most of these songs.....

god i feel young now. thanks guys!! :)

Lenny,

Did Cecil ever play Where's me Jumpa?" in your day?  Always wondered if it made it onto the playlist.

cool - can we request songs?

Lenny your only trottin after us!

Rolo: I really thought that song was Van Morrison (still think he sings it) - but now since I have seen your favorite songs - realize it is Luke Kelly - Raglan Road.  I like a bit of the old trad. myself. Now one of my very favorites:

"They know the call of freedom in their breasts”

back to worrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkkk...................

No idea you were a trad.fan. I love Luke Kelly and have been known ( whispers quietly ) to rattle off a few bars after a beer or twelve.

Never tried " living on your Western Shore...... " 'cos there's so many verses,I'm bound to forget the words half way through.

We've started a whole new thread here,you know.

" From Broughty Ferry at 2 AM "

Did I see somewhere that you did a bit of vocal training at some stage ?

Rolo.

You have me cheating here! I don't believe I've ever heard the name Lifeboat Mona! Probably one of those songs you know well to hear but just never looked into the name. 

You did see that I did vocal training; I did it at the college of music - night classes.  Stayed with it for 2 years but I was going twice a week and then some Saturday's from Raheny to Ballyfermot so it just was trying to say the least. Loved it though!

Being the youngest of 8 and the daughter of a Mayo women and a Kilkenny man I was raised with Trad. Music.  There were not too many nights in the Dolphin when you wouldn't end up at a session! Hence the many nights of singing trad. Music.  Love it! A mad family of singers!

Ok - interested to know if you or anyone else has ever heard "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" - I heard it here and seen the documentary on it.  It's an absolute fantastic song - done by Gordon Lightfoot.

eejit91 wrote: Lenny your only trottin after us!

lol - i know, im only a nipper compared to you real (read: old) grovies, but i do me best. Someday I will be as old as you guys....

It's the one that starts

" Remember December '59 ,the howling wind and the driving rain ... "

It's about the loss of a lifeboat and eight volunteer crew which sank in a storm off the Scottish Coast.

Written by Peggy Seeger, of "Springhill Mining Disaster " ,( now there's a song) fame.

See you've sussed out how to edit posts.

Travelling as in " Work Related "  ? Hate that.

Rolo.

"The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called 'Gitche Gumee'
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty.
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early."

Actually it was a freighter on lake superior - horrible story but brilliant song.  Have a look on the internet if you have a minute.

Yes work related travel! yuck, but only to Cincy this time - normally it's Chicago but getting less frequent lately - yeah. Going now to get my estimate on my car! finally... see ya

Got to do a bit of travelling myself this week,far more enjoyable than yours sounds though.

Rolo.

Well as luck might have it - don't need to go now until Thursday if at all!! yipee just as well as my little guy is having his Thanksgiving dinner at school tomorrow - would hate to miss that!!!

Pssst,

In case you'd forgotten,tomorrow is Wednesday.

Sorry,couldn't resist.Gotta go,Under 9 Hurling training beckons.

If you're chatting to Stevie tonight,ask her how she knows my sister.

Rolo.

Pssst,

What are you talking about? Ha Ha gotta ya there.  Loving that edit button - slip of the tounge - My days are all over the place since I started working from home. They should just call the entire week Monday and the weekend Saturday to cut the confusion for the likes of me.... terrible thing old age

Difference is,

The way I'm set up ,I can't see the unedited versions.

Not Fair.

" I don't care if it rains or freezes "

Rolo.

Ah Teresa

You are only as old as you feel

Not old at all, at all Kay! still the same one you knew years ago.  Just a little wiser, Thank God. 

Now how come your not working? oh look it's 7 in Ireland.  Well I am just returning from lunch.  Lunch away from work, or lunch away from this web site - that's the question these days.  I was a lot better off before this website let me tell ya.

I'm at home just done the Football run with the kids have a bit of time before I have to go around and pick them up

I feel like a taxi every day Ryan has something only day off is Sunday

Rolo don't know that one?

"And the breeze blew back my hair"

Teresa ,it's an old country song called Plastic Jesus,quite amusing and available on net also.It's the party piece of a mate.

Think yours is The Who " Who are You ?" ,great song but my favourite is " Won't get fooled again"

Didn't notice your five ( or ten ) fav. songs yet. Obviously too busy.

Kay, saw the bit ' bout your football run tonight,your fella's not with Raheny GAA under eights by any chance ?

"...............the idiot faced the crowd,smiling."

See ya later.

Rolo.

Hi eejit91,

I LOVE the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, heard it on late night radio ( not Luxembourg or Caroline as in the days of yore!).Remember Dave Fanning on "The Rock Show"?

I have the words and music of "Song for Ireland" around here somewhere if you want them...Rolo I also remember "Plastic Jesus"...I think its sort of been added to over the years, I particulary like..."Now Mary she don't slip or slide because her ass is magnetized .....

Teresa, a friend of mine does her own version of "her eyes they shone like diamonds...etc... at parties

The chorus goes: (for next American/Irish party)

"Oh her eyes they shone like black puddins'

you think she was queen of the land,

with a sack of spuds tied up in her apron..

and half a pigs a*se in each hand.

(I couldn't even begin to tell you her version of "Where do you go to my lovely"!!!!)

Maybe it won't do anything for inter-cultural relations,on second thoughts

Stevie

Hi Stevie,

Dave Fanning on the Big D. How long ago is that ?

Were you listening the night he thought he had John Illsley,Dire Straits Bass Player in for an interview but it was an imposter and he never copped on ?

Anyway,far more importantly,how'd ya know my kid sister ?

Rolo.

Hi Rolo,

this is really gettin' to you..I am much older than Fiona of course but I remember her from Ardlea Guides many moons ago, Jayne mcCormack a neighbour of yours was also in them at the time & Martine Nash, Karen & Margaret Daly, Annette Keeley..we hung around a lot with Noel & Paul Morrissey, Gerry bracken, Matthew Connellan,Killian O'Carroll, David Hughes who went to the Grove but were also in Ventures at the time.

Think you might know my brother better tho' Chanel College..Lorcan Connolly?

Stevie

Yeah of course,

Wasn't it Thelma and himself at one stage, or maybe still is for all I know, haven't seen him for years.Do remember meeting them on a flight to New York a few years ago.

I can actually remember all of those names,Annette Kealy runs marathons,Paul Morrisey's wife and mine were in the Rotunda at the same time,June,93,David Hughes' sister,think it was Corinne,was in Scoil Eanna with me,Gerry Bracken's brother Colm,was a barman in Gaffney's in Fairview for a few years.

Didn't Shay Dalton knock around with Lorcan and the poor lad that died,( can't remember his name )Fiona was great mates with all of them.

Anyway,thanks for that,it was doing my head in,actually. If you're at the next Reunion make sure to say hello.

Rolo.
