Because we all I know I have the originality of a houseplant, I'm taking a leaf out of
rykea's book (a.k.a.
simthetic) and doing her music meme post.
Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song. (Skip the instrumentals, the remixes and the mash-ups.)
Step 3: Let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
1) Dreams, inconsistent angel things; horses bred with star-laced wings.
2) Where the river cross, crosses the lake; where the words jump off my pen and into your pages. Tori Amos - "Your Cloud" (
rykea)
3) On a rack in the store for a discount price, though the colour's been changed to a black from white. William Fitzsimmons - "Funeral Dress" (
rykea)
4) I watched you change into a fly. Deftones - "Change (In the House of Flies)" (
rykea)
5) Did you know that the right won? Another fool; you're the side-arm.
6) Thought it was funny when you missed the train; when I rang you at home, they said you'd left yesterday.
7) Leave me dreaming on the bed; see you right back here tomorrow for the next round. Keep this scene inside your head as the bruises turn to yellow and the swelling goes down. Placebo - "Pierrot the Clown" (
rykea)
8) I don't know what I've done, or if I like what I've become.
9) Turning the wheel to emptiness; there when you breathe your final breath.
10) Come, come, Naveed; come, come, Naveed. Come, come, Naveed, stay. Our Lady Peace - "Naveed" (
rykea)
11) At night they would go walking 'til the breaking of the day; the morning is for sleeping. Coldplay - "Cemetaries of London" (
rykea)
12) And she takes another step; slowly, she opens the door. Savage Garden - "Two Beds and a Coffee Machine" (
rykea)
13) If you want this, if you want this; if you want this, you're gonna have to ask; nicely, please. Melissa Ferrick - "Drive" (
sirenwater)
14) Try as he might, he's unable to speak; he grabs her by the hair, he strokes her on the cheek.
15) Scattered shadows on a wall; you watch the long light fall. Some impressions stay, and some will fade.
16) You can't love yourself in a cheap motel. It gets hard to tell what you are, you are, you are. Sacha Sacket - "What You Are" (
rykea)
17) Here I stand, helpless and left for dead. Breaking Benjamin - "Dance With the Devil" (
rykea)
18) Don't let your hair grow too long; leave your yellow raincoat on. Don't get wet, but don't get warm. Oren Lavie - "Don't Let Your Hair Grow Too Long" (
rykea)
19) You must be mistaken, it couldn't have been. You couldn't have seen him yesterday.
20) I get home from work and you're still standing in your dressing gown; oh, what am I to do? Radiohead - "Black Star" (
rykea)

So, these run the gamut. Nothing really off the wall, though. Good luck~
