Song Lyrics Meme!
I love this ipod shuffle meme, and it's been all over my flist. Brief break from writing! Fifteen songs. Here are the first lines (Note: unless the title is in the first line. Then it's the next lines without the title). Guess the song/artist.
1. I guess I think I feel alright
You come circling through the light
The skyline is bright tonight
What more perfect rendezvous?
The sundown paints the shadows through
The daylight, Amy, on what we do
2. When she walks
She swings her arms, instead of her hips
When she talks
She moves her mouth, instead of her lips -- "Let Me Go" by Cake (amand_r)
3. I always toss it in when things get heavy
Wash my hands and leave ‘em high and dry
I’ve put ‘em to the wind like confetti
But a lady has a right to change her mind
4. January 1, I've got a lot of things on my mind
I'm looking at my body through a new spy satellite
5. Tell me before I waltz out of your life
Before turning my back on the past
Forgive my impertinent behavior
But how long do you think this pantomime can last -- "Waltz for Eva and Che" from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Evita (kaydeefalls)
6. Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide
Voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time
The night is my companion, and solitude my guide -- "Possession" by Sarah MacLachlan (amand_r)
7. Bought a home we bartered right
Two kids, two-car delight
8. You went into the kitchen cupboard
Got yourself another hour
And you gave half of it to me -- "The Calculation" by Regina Spektor (amand_r)
9. Early one morning the sun was shining I was laying in bed
Wond'ring if she'd changed at all, if her hair was still red -- "Tangled up in Blue" by Bob Dylan (though mine is the Indigo Girls version) (dremiel)
10. You know what I wish?
It was just you and me
Sitting in this corner bar
You could tell me how you are
11. You've got my lost brother's soul
My dear Mother's eyes
Brown horse's mane
And my uncle's name -- "14th Street" by Rufus Wainwright (topgeargirl2)
12. Are you sure you got the right number?
Is it me you wanna talk to tonight?
Everyone in town's got your number
Everybody's got you pegged right
13. Keep a fire burning in your eye
Pay attention to the open sky
You never know what will be coming down
14. I don't really know how I got here this time
I was only just following orders
Listening to the voice in my mind
Saying steer clear of margins and borders
15. If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love I'll wear a mask for you -- "I'm Your Man" by Leonard Cohen (amand_r)
