Quote EC lyrics by verse game
If the results of the lyrics quiz are any indication, the members of this forum would be able to go alright in this new game. In case people care for their score again I've made up a few rules so I can tally progress every 5 pages:
-TWO points for completing a verse, or chorus, or bridge, or section (in the order they appear). If there's no easily discernible structure or if you can only quote the next line, it's ONE point.
-The given song has to be from a standard EC album. To make it easier, Kojak Variety and For The Stars are not to be included.
-DOUBLE and TRIPLE posts are allowed (posting 2 or 3 in a row), but no more than that. Points are awarded the same way if you type two or three sections of the particular song in the one post, but it just means that meanwhile someone could beat you to it.
-If you notice a misquote/mistake, you get ONE point for a correction, and they get ONE point if they were on the right track. If they weren't, you get the TWO points. This would apply to changing choruses etc. You'd still get points for different recorded lines that you remember and quote.
-If EC repeats a line at any point, you can quote it just the once.
-If it's 12 hours or more since the last quote post, you can abort the current song and start another one. If EC just keeps repeating at the end of a song you can start a new song, but points can still be got for quoting that rare and unique line in the fade-off everyone else missed.
-If you start off a song that gets aborted, you LOSE any points you would have got from that song, while everyone else gets DOUBLE the points they would have got for their parts of the uncompleted song.
Easy enough?
To start:
It's Time
The party's over
your time is up
You've had your last pointless teardrop
washed down in that broken coffee cup
this magic moment concludes when that cigarette ends
did you get what you wanted?
well I suppose that depends

If you go, if you go
Where passion is squandered and money is spent
It's time, it's time
It's time, it's time
It's time, it's time, it's time
You must see it's time that you went
You must see it's time that you went
If you go, if you go
Where passion is squandered and money is spent
It's time, it's time
It's time, it's time
It's time, it's time, it's time
You must see it's time that you went
You must see it's time that you went

The chorus doesn't repeat at that point.And then repeat of 'If you go...'?
I know the single didn't include this bit but the album version changes to:
you told the same joke to me too many times
i wish that someone would hit it
just before you reach just before you reach just before you reach
the punchline...

The party's over
Time we broke up
It always seemed like a bad dream
One where I finally woke up
This magic moment concluding our mutual fate
But if you do have to leave me
Who will I have left to hate?
Who will I have left to hate?
chorus again

I'll start one. Clean Money:
Payday's coming, clean money clean money (and we wash it away, and we wash it away)
Payday's coming, clean money clean money (and we wash it away, and we wash it away)
That's what I want to do
I want to spend it on you.

I've never looked up the lyrics to this, so I could make some foolish mis-hearing errors here, but...
Check on a checkmate,
Grass on a classmate,
So beautiful and fortunate,
he hates to love you love to hate,
he can fix you for good 'cos he is the neighbourhood,
you can get money for blood,
blood money for doing no good,
and you won't take my love for tender (x3)

I think it's "checking on a checkmate, grassing on a classmate," but I can't be certain. Still, nice job. The next part:
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Payday's coming, clean money clean money (and we wash it away, and we wash it away)
Payday's coming, clean money clean money (and we wash it away, and we wash it away)
