Take A Long Line.

'Take A Long Line' is the name of a game from an old TV variety game show where the host would read out a line from a song and the contestants had to provide the next line. I was wondering if anyone would like to play (probably not, but it's worth asking). Note that you don't have to identify the song and band, but you do have to know what the next line is. For simplicity's sake, if the line appears multiple times in a song with varying following lyrics, any follow up will do. Obviously, I'll go first- this one is pretty obscure, but if you've heard it you'll definitely get it:

"I love when you do that hocus pocus to me"

Obscure, indeed. Took me a bit to remember that one.

"The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal."

Anyway, I guess I'll throw out a new line.

"You can never see it, I keep it in a jar."

Dammit, I know I've heard this one but I can't remember what it is!

Oh yeah, you can name the song and band if you know it, but the next line is the important bit. My one was 'Almost Unreal' by Roxette. In case anyone else is having trouble with chaostriangle's entry, here's another one which might be somewhat easier:

"When I look back upon my life/it's always with a sense of shame"

Keep trying to get chaostriangle's though.

Hmmm... doesn't seem like anyone wants to play.

But at least answer me this, chaostriangle- what was your's? It's bugging me.

"you cannot escape it, not even in your car."

Mighty Penis Laser, Big Dumb Face.

For mine I'm going old school:

"Well I came a long way, to be here today, And I left you so long on this avenue..."

Or any other lyric page. Otherwise I wouldn't have found the answer to this...

And here I stand in the strangest land, not knowing what to say or do.

The Way Life's Meant to Be by E.L.O. (Electric Light Orchestra)

Yeah I cheated, big deal. I like the whole concept of the game, but since we're doing it on a message board off of the net of all places, the challenge seems to be missing.

Hmmm... maybe you're right, maybe not. I'll keep playing anyway.

My last one was:

"I've always been the one to blame"

The Pet Shop Boys, 'It's a Sin'.

Here's another one:

"You only see what your eyes want to see"

"How can life be what you want it to be"

Frozen by Madonna. Great song, great video.

Here's the next one....

"Someone always playing corporation games"

This song will probably be an easy one to guess. I laugh so hard everytime I hear it! It's cheesetastic!
