Baker's Dozen - SONGS


This game is focused on the content of the songs (lyrics, style, instrumentation, etc.) and can be subjective or objective. If the topic pertains to the song title only, please put that in the Song Titles game, not this game.

Regular Baker's Dozen rules apply, with one exception - since it can be harder to come up with examples for this category than a game based on song or movie titles, please wait until at least a few days of no replies before changing the topic.

Thanks and have fun

05. A White Sport Coat, and a Pink CARNATION - Marty Robbins
"A white sport coat, and a pink CARNATION,
I'm all dressed up for the dance.
A white sport coat, and a pink CARNATION,
I'm all alone in romance."

06. VIOLET - Hole
"And the sky was made of amethyst
And all the stars were just like little fish
You should learn when to go
You should learn how to say no
Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever
Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever
Well they get what they want, and they never want it again
Well they get what they want, and they never want it again
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
And the sky was all VIOLET
I want to give the violent more VIOLETS
And I'm the one with no soul
One above and one below"

07. Secret Love - Doris Day
"Now I shout it from the highest hills
Even told the golden DAFFODILS
At last my heart's an open door
And my secret love's no secret anymore."

08. Right Alright - Off Kilter

And I danced a merry jig among the HAWTHORN
I never felt her hand as she removed me wallet brown
And we danced some reels and jigs until the dawnin'."

Holly holy dream
Wanting only you
And she comes
And I run just like the wind will
Holly holy"

12. Carolina In The Morning - Al Jolson + many others
"Where the MORNING GLORIES twine around the door
Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more
Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early in the morning
Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each buttercup at dawning"
