lyrics meme!

[fourteenlines]

In case you've missed it over the last five years, I LOVE the lyrics meme, and will use pretty much any excuse to post one. So since I missed the party over at sophia_helix's, here we go:

1. And her last words/were, "I'll see you down in history"

2. Now that I'm older/my heart's colder/and I can see that it's a lie "Wake Up," The Arcade Fire (guessed by sophia_helix

2. Uh, some days MY FAVORITE SONG IN THE UNIVERSE: "Wake Up", Arcade Fire
5. "You're So Vain", Carly Simon
12. Another favorite: "Break Your Heart", BNL (the live version is the ♥ est)
19. "Chicago", Sufjan Stevens
20. You are obviously trying to kill me with all my favorites: "This Year", the Mountain Goats

Yay!

I ended up skipping a lot of songs, because I have a lot of stuff in iTunes that I never listen to, and my rule is that if something comes up that I wouldn't get, I don't include it. (Plus, for some reason I kept getting a ridiculous amount of randomly-selected Sigur Ros. What up, gibberish language!)

Re: #12 - but of course it was the live version! You know, those guys had their ups and downs, but when they were good they were AMAZING.

(And, uh, I may have a habit of putting on "This Year" and singing along at the top of my lungs when I need a boost.)

16. "Come Away with Me" - Norah Jones

[fourteenlines]

Yep! :)

4. And it's noooooot my kind of scene, oh yeah... (My Kind of Scene - Powderfinger)

14. Smells like teen spirit - Nirvana.

9. Fleetwood Mac? Fuck it, I can hear the first part in my head and it's totally Stevie Nicks but the rest of it just sounds unfamiliar. And I can't think of the song for the life of me.

Ummmm... what else. I'm pretty sure 18 is a song I saw a Torchwood vid to once.

And that's it. I'm done.

You got the first two right...but #9 is SO NOT Fleetwood Mac, or even Stevie Nicks related...or even sung by a female, for that matter! I did get a kick out of the suggestion - it really brightened my frustrating morning. :)

I'm confident you do know #9, though. I would kind of doubt your Australianness (Australianity?) if it weren't at least vaguely familiar.

[mandysbitch]

Fleetwood Mac, Crowded House - I get the two confused all the time.

I would kind of doubt your Australianness (Australianity?) if it weren't at least vaguely familiar.

They're New Zealanders! (Watch out - the Kiwis get very snotty about that sort of thing. They'll claim CH but they insist Russell Crowe is ours).

[fourteenlines]

Some of them are Australian!

And sadly, you folks are still vastly more likely to be familiar with CH than your Yankee counterparts. :)

9. Crowded House - Weather With You
18. Set the Fire to the Third Bar - Snow Patrol (and Martha Wainwright)

[fourteenlines]

Gosh, I'm glad someone got #18 - possibly my favorite Snow Patrol song...

[pene]

I take #9 Weather With You by my possibly all time favourite though it depends on the day Crowded House.

[pene]

oh I lost to baby lil.

But I win because I went to a dress up party and the theme was "Australian Icons" and there were three people who basically built a really small house around themselves and sort of scuffled in. So funny.

[fourteenlines]

That is hilarious! And I gave you extra credit 'cause I knew you, at least, would get that one. :)
