here's a fun little game...
Step 1: Put your music player on random
Step 2: Pick a line from the first 25 songs that play
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly (both song name and band!) -- no cheating/googling of lyrics! :)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. "Monotony past, suburbia departed/Who could ever be fond/Of the back of beyond?"
2. "They only hit until you cry/And after that you don't ask why/You just don't argue anymore"
3. "My friend drove off the other day/And now he's gone and all they say/Is you gotta live cuz life goes on"
4. "But there are dreams that cannot be/And there are storms we cannot weather"
5. "Do you only care about the bleeding crowd?/How about a needing friend?/I need a friend"
6. "You heard he has a temper, he'll beat you every night/But only when he's sober, so you'll alright!"
7. "Or the elephants will get out and forget to remember what you said"
8. "People see me I'm a challenge to your balance/I'm over your heads how I confound you, and astound you"
9. "This is our last embrace/Must I dream and always see your face"
10. "She’d left me for another, it’s a common tale but true/A sadder man but wiser now I sing these words to you"
11. "There's nothing more to do/But sit here in this rocking chair"
12. "She says days go by I'm hypnotized, I'm walking on a wire/I close my eyes and fly out of my mind/Into the fire"
13. "They got a ranch they call/Number fifty-one"
14. "I keep going round and round on the same old circuit/A wire travels underground to a vacant lot"
15. "Now that I've dropped out,/Why is life dreary dreary?/Answer my weary query"
16. "But I'm the stuff of Happy endings/Though mostly bluff, belief suspending"
17. "I will never go away/And we will be together/Every day."
18. "Listen Johnny; you're like a mother/To the girl you've fallen for,/And you're still falling."
19. "Hey Doc, how's about a refill/Hey Doc, pretty little blue pill"
20. "Because it was nothing like we'd ever dreamt/Our lust for life had gone away with the rent we hated"
21. "There’s still room in my wooden horse for two/I was jonathan to your david/You’re still king"
22. "On the back of a cartoon coaster/In the blue TV screen light/I drew a map of Canada"
23. "woo hoo, woo hoo hoo"
24. "Past all thought of "if" or "when"/No use resisting, abandon though/and let the dream descend "
25. "She is the first voice of the last ones in the line/She'll drag the lake to keep the vendetta alive"
whoever gets the most of these will maybe receive some sort of prize and my promise to never mock any of their musical selection ever again. now if that isn't incentive to post i don't know what is. good luck! :)
