OK, time for the lyrics meme again!

[gridlore]

Y'all know the drill. Artist and song title. Thanks to katster for starting the insanity again. Tracks are from the My Top Rated folder on iTunes.

1. Johnny told his mama, hey, 'Mama, I'm goin' away. I'm gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday', Yeah.
Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye.
Johnny said, 'Don't cry, mama, smile and wave good-bye'.

Shooting Star by Bad Company (kath8562)

2. Make us fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless gray
On they fight, for they're right, yes, but who's to say?

For Whom The Bell Tolls by Metallica (dalen_talas)

3. My kingdom corrupt with dissent
Your sins erupt by my intent
I loathe your prayer, I wallow in sin
Let the nightmare begin

4. Cold and shaking
I crawled down alleys to try
And scrape away the tracks that marked me
Slammed my face into walls of concrete
I stared, amazed at the words written on the wall

The Needle Lies by Queensryche (rfeceo)

5. Whistles, shouts and more gun-fire
Lifeless bodies hang on barbed wire
Battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb
Be reunited with my dead friends soon

6. Well it's widely known that a ship alone
Would be burned up and destroyed
But the ship and crew brought with us too
An eleven mile asteroid

Falling Down on New Jersey (10binary_cats)

7. Still waters run deep
So be careful I don't drown you
You've got nothing to hear
I've got nothing to say

8. Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down South
They go no work to do,
If you don't know about Chicago.

9. I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules

Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne (nimrodjcs)

10. Well-weathered leather
Hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome
The blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware

Red Barchetta by Rush (rfeceo)

and the one no one will get. I was wrong!

Eroding all alone like the mist upon the moss, eternal is my pledge an eternal holocaust
They summoned me, honorably, defend the cause, never repent, away I went, to defend the cause
When I was sent away they made a soldier from a boy
Victory will be achieved lethal weapons to destroy

Killing Season by Testament (fimbrethil)

Well, I'm impressed. I thought I was the only person on Earth who likes that song.

[fimbrethil.livejournal.com]

Don't be impressed. I liked what you posted so much, I googled the lyrics. I liked what I heard! Thanks!

#2 - For Whom The Bell Tolls by Metallica

[murphymom.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what any of them actually *are*, but #6 scans perfectly to the tune of the Gilligan's Island theme...

Yes, but so does the Australian national anthem.
