Name that tune!
Someone dear to me posted something like this, but more intelligent - that is, not just the first lines of each song, but selections from within. As that I'm working, however, I skimmed the recommendation to do that, and shazam! The first lines of each of the past ten songs that iTunes popped up for me. 'course, it was set only to a specific subset of my library, but so it goes.
I'm betting that eight of these could be guessed by anyone age 25-40, and the last two will fall if any one of six specific folks on my friends list happens to take the time to read and can type out the answers without laughing themselves to death. One might escape most of you.
So, without further blathering, name that tune!1. When I feel blue, I think of you
'Cause you're true wherever you are
Near or far, you still are my shining star
Sometimes it's mad, things get bad and I'm sad
Wherever you are there is light by my side
I feel alright
2. Your cruel device
Your blood, like ice
One look could kill
My pain, your thrill
I want to love you but I better not
3. Lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Brought me down upon my knees
Oh, I beg, I beg and plead
4. Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure, but you set my mind at ease...
5. Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions
but only illusions
Rainbows have nothing to hide
6. We both lie silent and steely in the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it something I said or something I did?
Did my words not come out right?
7. Shut out, pimpled and angry.
I quietly tied all my guts into knots.
Gave up on trying to make them,
I figured it'd take them too long to look up and besides...
8. So... So you think you can tell
Heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
9. A is for action
P is for paranoid
A is for anger out here in the void
C is for countdown
O is for over
LYPSE are for your lips smashed on mine when the world blows up
10. Let's dance in style
Let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst -
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
11. I'm so glad I've found this
I'm so glad I did
People are fragile things, you should know by now
Be careful what you put them through
And yes, this one goes to eleven.
