lyrics meme
Why not. 20 songs meme. I put a bit of the lyrics up, you holler if you recognize the song. (FYI, I put all my MP3s on shuffle and went down the list, but I only put lyrics up for the songs I know lyrics to myself; if I couldn't remember at least one line from the song I skipped it.) Links go to the songs on YouTube.
ETA:
snacky is the all-star so far with 5 songs :-)
ETA2: Eight songs left! Two of them are by really well-known 80s artists, jsyk...
1. The wedding cake / Almost fades into a memory thrown in Cupid's face / Love's just frosting anyway
2. Ease my mind / Reasons for me to find you / Peace of mind / What can I do / To get me to you
Yoko Kanno & Seatbelts - "Call Me Call Me" from the Cowboy Bebop OST. (
sabinetzin)
3. I know you think that love is the way you make it / So I don't want to be there when you decide to break it
Def Leppard - "Love Bites" (
missizzy)
4. Fashion's a tease, an air-polluted breeze / the two AM lightning you think is dawn
5. Sometimes you get nowhere / I've lived all over the world / I've left every place
6. Here, but now they're gone / Romeo and Juliet / Are together in eternity
Blue Oyster Cult - "Don't Fear the Reaper" --though what I have, and linked here, is a cover by Beautiful South. (
monanotlisa)
7. Let me say, let me say, let me say / You could do your best today
Sleigh Bells - "Tell 'Em" (
schmerica, close enough *g*)
8. What impression am I making? / I see me as other people see me / There is no going back / I can't stop feeling now
9. Earth below us / Drifting, falling / Floating weightless
Peter Schilling - "Major Tom (Coming Home)" (
snacky)
10. Oh what a sight / As they take their first flight / Oh darling let's all hold tight / I will, I will, I will, I will... I will sleep tonight
Badly Drawn Boy - "Donna and Blitzen" (
snacky)
11. And dad would dream of all the different ways to die / Each one a little more than he could dare to try
12. Words too short to speak / Words I meant to keep / Don't know what to be / You're confusing me
13. And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
The Pixies - "Cactus" (
snacky)
14. It's such a crazy, crazy feeling / I go weak in the knees / My poor old head is a-reeling
15. How can they look into my eyes / And still they don't believe me? / How can they hear me say those words / And still they don't believe me?
The Smiths - "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side" (ipomoea)
16. I like long walks and sci-fi movies / You're six foot tall and East Coast bred
Andrew Bird - "Fake Palindromes" (
schmerica)
17. Kick out the gloom, kick out the blues / tear out the pages with all the bad news
The Cure - "Doing the Unstuck" (
snacky)
18. We are criminals that never broke no laws / And all we needed was a net to break our fall
19. Do not, do not deny me, deny my right to feel / Do not, do not deny me my Achilles heel
New Pornographers - "Stacked Crooked" (
snacky)
20. And just to lay with you, there's nothing that I wouldn't do / Save lay my rifle down
The Decemberists - "Here I Dreamt I Was an Architect" (
