A meme. Viewed from both
inactivism and -- I believe --
kamikazescot Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.
Look at These People
Is Dexter ill today?
I'm happy, I'm feeling glad
Do the D.A.N.C.E.
I'm a jealous man
If I keep moving, I can hold off the pain.
Will you lend a caring hand?
Something so benign from me, construed as cruelty
I have often dreamed of a far-off place
Round up the cables and take off the caps
I hate a lot of things -- I hate a lot of people
When the heart breaks open so much you can't hide
Waiting line 'til your time
My body is a cage
It's you that I adore
Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
I find the moment that a woman makes friends with me, she becomes jealous, exacting, suspicious and a damned nuiscance
Beat me up, beat me down, mess me up beyond all recognition
Everybody, look at me, me!
Don't hold back.
I'm your boogeyman.
