Song Lyric Sunday Theme for 9/2/18

/ Helen Vahdati

This is probably pretty redundant, but can you believe it’s September already? I sure can’t. This year has just flown by! It is delightful to walk in slightly cooler temps, though. My hubby and I went out around mid-day for a walk, and it was actually tolerable, unlike last month.

It’s been a very relaxing day, overall. I’m just watching the US Open and reading a book. None of that has really inspired a theme, except that while I was watching tennis, I noticed that there are a LOT of car commercials. My husband couldn’t stop talking about the Mercedes and how he’d actually prefer a Jaguar. I always roll my eyes because I don’t think they’re worth the money, even if you do have it.

I know we’ve done a similar theme recently, but I also know you guys have it in you to blow me away with your posts. Without giving too much away, let’s just get right to it. Let’s put on our thinking caps, break out our playlists and get to work!  Our theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is car/cars.

As always, you can go your own way and post a song that has nothing to do with the prompt.  We’re all here sharing our love of music and lyrics, and most of all, having a great time!

If you would like to suggest a theme, I am open to suggestions.   Please either pop it in the comments or send me an email at helenvahdati@yahoo.com.

Here are the “rules”:

  • Post the lyrics to the song of your choice, whether it fits the theme or not
  • Please try to include the songwriter(s) – it’s a good idea to give credit where credit is due and it’s honestly just a simple Google search
  • Make sure you also credit the singer/band and provide a link to where you found the lyrics
  • Link to the YouTube video, or pull it into your post so others can listen to the song
  • Ping back to this post or my own Song Lyric Sunday post
  • Read at least one other person’s blog so we can all share new and fantastic music and create amazing new blogging friends in the process

  3. I have to say a Mercedes is a good investment if you do have the money from what I have seen with people I know and an old friend…her car looked beautiful 20 years later. She just had a 4cyl 4 door sedan. I remember when she got it, she offered to pick up my son to drive to his high school prom (we are a small town and a tiny Mercedes IS special).

    Now I am soooo pleased to be scrolling down my reader as I have been under the weather in the past 10 days with trips to doctor and hospital (doctors scratching their heads on how to put me back together, I guess) 8 day fever with no symptoms but achy all over drive them nuts and makes me sick lol. Anyway we will get there eventually.

    Love this weather up to today when it went back up to 30C but I have ac. I have not read or written since the fever started except for my daughter’s birthday which was a recycled poem Friday.

    Cars! I love that theme and a song popped up immediately which kept me company for a year. Talk soon. Cheryl-Lynn

      • But your theme is a great metaphor!! 🙂 I gave up owning a car 4 years ago and it saved me $$ to travel each year once or twice! Public transit is more relaxing, walking is healthier and I have discovered how much I enjoy travelling alone too.

  22. I decided to channel my children today. I am like Helen, cars are tools to get from here to there, but my children love talking cars and engines, so here is their favorite “car” song, even if it is about engines and “Fuel”
    Written by James Alan Hetfield, Kirk L. Hammett, and Lars Ulrich From AtoZ Lyrics

    Gimme fuel
    Gimme fire
    Gimme that which I desire
    Ooh!
    Yeah!
    Turn on… I see red
    Adrenaline crash and crack my head
    Nitro junkie, paint me dead
    And I see red
    One hundred plus through black and white
    War horse, warhead
    Fuck ’em man, white-knuckle tight
    Through black and white
    On I burn
    Fuel is pumping engines
    Burning hard, loose and clean
    And on I burn
    Churning my direction
    Quench my thirst with gasoline
    So gimme fuel
    Gimme fire
    Gimme that which I desire
    Ooh
    Turn on beyond the bone
    Swallow future, spit out home
    Burn your face upon the chrome
    Yeah!
    Take the corner, join the crash
    Headlights, head on, headlines
    Another junkie lives too fast
    Yeah lives way too fast, fast, fast, oohhOH!
    On I burn
    Fuel is pumping engines
    Burning hard, loose and clean
    And on I burn
    Churning my direction
    Quench my thirst with gasoline
    So gimme fuel
    Gimme fire
    Gimme that which I desire
    Yeah-heah
    White knuckle tight!
    Gimme fuel
    Gimme fire
    My desire
    On I burn
    Fuel is pumping engines
    Burning hard, loose and clean
    And on I burn
    Churning my direction
    Quench my thirst with gasoline
    Gimme fuel
    Gimme fire
    Gimme that which I desire
    Ooh
    On I burn
