Answers to that lyrics meme! I starred the ones no one got.
01. Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that (Broken Social Scene - Anthems for a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl)
*02. You got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend (Bob Dylan - Positively 4th Street)
03. I met her in a club down in old Soho where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry cola (The Kinks - Lola)
04. I want to - I want to be someone else or I'll explode (Radiohead - Talk Show Host)
*05. So she wakes up in time to break down, she left a note up on the dresser and she's right on time (Streetlight Manifesto - A Better Place, A Better Time)
*06. I've been trying to show you, over and over... (PJ Harvey - Sheela Na Gig)
07. I fell on the playing field, the work of an errant heel (The Decemberists - The Sporting Life)
08. I must go on standing, you can't break that which isn't yours (Regina Spektor - Après Moi)
09. I play in a band, we're the best in the land, we're big in both Chelsea and France (Dropkick Murpheys - Kiss Me, I'm Shit Faced)
10. On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair (The Eagles - Hotel California)
*11. I never thought that you would come, your sister said your nerve had gone (Pulp - Your Sister's Clothes)
12. And while the city sleeps, I won't weep because I didn't keep my boyfriend and the summer's end is here again (Noisettes - Wild Young Hearts)
*13. Tears of rain run down my windowpane, I'm on my own again, good evening sorrow (Mary Hopkin - Knock Knock, Who's There?)
14. I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things (Queen - Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy)
15. Out here the nights are long, the days are lonely (Bruce Springsteen - Working on a Dream)
16. You are the girl that I've been dreaming of ever since I was a little girl (Black Kids - I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You)
*17. I know you like her; well, I like her too, I know she likes you (Belle and Sebastian - Jonathan David)
*18. Windows shine like bat's eyes, reflecting something unseen in the dark (The Indelicates - The Sequel to Peter Pan and Wendy)
*19. You know that I would love to see you next year, I hope that I am still alive next year (Maxïmo Park - Apply Some Pressure)
*20. Here's room 506, it's enough to make you sick (Nico - Chelsea Girls)
21. Is it cruel or kind not to speak my mind, and to lie to you rather than hurt you? (The Libertines - Music When the Lights Go Out)
22. Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking when I said I'd like to smash every tooth in your head (The Smiths - Bigmouth Strikes Again)
23. There's too many voices living in my head, and when I go to sleep at night they stay awake instead (Yeti - Midnight Flight)
24. At the record company meeting: on their hands, a dead star (The Smiths - Paint a Vulgar Picture)
25. It's a godawful small affair to the girl with the mousey hair (David Bowie - Life on Mars?)
I said I'd upload #18 for two_grey_rooms, so here it is, along with Jonathan David (SOME OF YOU KNEW IT, SURELY) and some other stuff I've been keen on lately while I'm at it.
The Indelicates - The Sequel to Peter Pan and Wendy
Belle & Sebastian - Jonathan David
Rilo Kiley - The Absence of God
Spiritualized - Come Together (Not the Beatles song. Fluxblog has a better description than anything I could come up with, but it's basically four and a half minutes of trying to stop being a junkie by yelling at yourself. S'excellent.)
Sorry I've been largely scarce and useless with comments, I've been in a bit of a funk... well, for ages, but especially since I got home. Planning to go into the city tomorrow for my first proper latte since January, though! Thrilling, amirite?
