MUSIC!
So I wanted to make a music post, but I couldn't really pick which songs and didn't just want to have a list of links because that's boring. So I'm repeating a meme!
Put your music 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 song is the title.
If You Could Read My Mind, Love
Well I'm on my way to the city lights,
I remember setting out just to see what I could see,
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell,
You get up every morning.
I pulled into Nazareth, I was feeling about half-past dead;
It has been raining for so long
I got everything I need - almost
Get you motor running:
There is a town in north Ontario
Something's at the edge of your mind, you don't know what it is
Could have been all right, could have been here tonight
I know it's out of fashion:
Life's like a road that you travel on -
Can you see the light?
Four men in a rock'n'roll band
I got stones in my passway
Two hundred miles from my home
What goes up must come down
One fine morning, girl, I'll wake up:
American woman, stay away from me.
