Lyrics Guess!
I did this about a year ago, but it was really cool, so I figured I'd do it again.
These are some lyrics from some songs on my iTunes (I'm doing 'random' but am still being kind of selective so that it's not too difficult for people to guess).
Anyway, read the lyrics and guess the song and artist. Winner gets . . . a metaphorical medal, I guess.
1. Guessed by daydream_nacion: "Yankee Bayonet" by The Decemberists
Heart-carved tree trunk, Yankee bayonet
A sweetheart left behind
Far from the hills of the sea-swelled Carolinas
That's where my true love lies
2.Guessed by daydream_nacion: "Oversleeping" by I'm From Barcelona
I can make it in time
If I jump out of bed
If I skip to wear clothes
And get running instead
3.Guessed by bobevil13:"Apology Song" by The Decemberists
I'm really sorry, Stephen
But your bicycle's been stolen
4.Guessed by akya: "Killer Queen" by Queen
She keeps her Moet et Chandon
In a pretty cabinet
5. Got no future
Great big past
Little bitty guy on the rim of my glass
Gotta meet the plane so I can get my monkey
Teach him to be cool
But a little bit funky
6. Hurled to the center of the Earth again,
The place where it's hot, love,
You know, it hurts to breathe in
7. A coyote ran across the road
on the move without a home.
A flash of light reminded me of you.
8. His goal in life was to be an echo
Riding alone, town after town, toll after toll
A fixed bayonet through the great southwest to forget her
9. Tip toe through the alley and
Tip toe through your life
You still got it coming
Be it gun be it knife
10. There is good reason I guess
Having once gone too far
When you clean out the hive
Does it make you want to cry
11. I can't believe that I am writing this down and
I can't believe that I've got you in a song
I don't want to be a whining girl
Rather not be anyone
12. You say that you're slipping away
As you turn from the hand that could save you
You fell like a drunk down a well
Like a dog into Hell you were sinking
13. Guessed by daydream_nacion: "To Be Alone With You" by Sufjan Stevens
I'd swim across lake Michigan
I'd sell my shoes
I'd give my body to be back again
In the rest of the room
To be alone with you
14. Hey, calling all imaginary friends!
Today, don't want no one to tell me how it ends
Took breathing for granted
And now I don't know how to breathe
15.Guessed by bobevil13: "Overkill" by Colin Hay/Lazlo Bane
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
16. I used to think
If I could realize I'd die
Then I would be a lot nicer
17. Guessed by akya: "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles/Presidents of the United States of America
I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake, intent at tuning in on you
If I was young, it didn't stop you coming through
18. Guessed by daydream_nacion: "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Pt. 1" by The Flaming Lips
Oh Yoshimi
They don't believe me
But you won't let those
Robots eat me
19. Well I'm a modern guy, I don't care much for the go-go
Or the retro image I see so often telling me to
Keep trying maybe you'll get here
Someday, keep up the working, okay
I close the book on them right there
20. Guessed by bobevil13: "If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out" by Cat Stevens
You can do what you want
The opportunity's on
And if you can find a new way
You can do it today
21. If you want, want my love
Take it baby
If you want, want my heart
Take it baby
You can have it all
22. Guessed by daydream_nacion: "Treehouse" by I'm From Barcelona
I have built a treehouse
I have built a treehouse
Nobody can see us
'Cause it's a You and Me House
23. Guessed by daydream_nacion: "Such Great Heights" by The Postal Service; Iron & Wine
I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
24. The cat calls through the night
Two chicks in the parking lot
Crack wise on the price of fame
They stood to gain
25. Guessed by daydream_nacion: "Energy" by The Apples in Stereo
And the world is made of energy
And the world is electricity
And the world is made of energy
And there's a light inside of you
And there's a light inside of me
** Yay, happy guessing. Remember, song title and artist need to be correct. Using Google is not fair.
