Song Meme - 2nd Edition
Snagged from cylune9 and
ageless_aislynn. I like this one.
Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line (or verse) from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own
1.
Can I get your hand to write on
Just a piece of lead to bite on
What am I to fly my kite on
Do you want to flash a light on
2.
Born to multiply
Born to gaze into night skies
when all you want's one more Saturday
3. Muse - Time Is Running Out ageless_aislynn
I think I'm drowning
Asphyxiated
4. Death Cab for Cutie - The Sound of Settling lunacow
I've got a hunger
Twisting my stomach into knots
That my tongue has tied off
5. Arctic Monkeys - Fluorescent Adolescent cylune9
Used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your nightdress
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
Landed in a very common crisis
6. Radiohead - High and Dry cylune9
Two jumps in a week
I bet you think that's pretty clever
Don't you, boy?
7.
You belong to the gang
And you say you can't break away
But I'm here
With my hands on my heart
8. Our Lady Peace - Somewhere Out There cylune9
Last time I talked to you
You were lonely and out of place
9. The Coral - Dreaming of You littleton_pace
What's up with my heart
When it skips a beat
Can't feel no pavement
Right under my feet
10.
Sweet is the sight
Of her room
Window open by candlelight
How would you know
11. Aqualung - Strange and Beautiful kajam
I've been watching your world from afar
I've been trying to be where you are
And I've been secretly falling apart
Unseen
12. Ryan Adams (or Oasis) - Wonderwall ageless_aislynn and lunacow
Today's gonna be the day
That they're gonna give it back to you
13. Damien Rice - 9 Crimes ageless_aislynn
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
14.
I could sleep
I could sleep
I could sleep
When I lived alone
[title] in my house
15.
Everybody here
Comes from somewhere
That they would just as soon forget
And disguise
16.
Sitting here
On this lonely dock
Watch the rain
Play on the ocean top
17.
One night to be confused
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise paid
Four hands and then away
18.
Let me take you to
The herding ground
Where all good men are trampled down
Just to settle a bet that could not be won
Between a prideful father and his son
19.
The door slammed loud and rose up a cloud of dust
On us
Footsteps follow down through the hollow sound
Torn up
20.
Midnight on a beach in the Mediterranean
And I miss you
Even here taking it all in
The sand silvered carries the moon on its shoulders
21.
Come on [title] just last the year
So pour a little salt we were never here
M-m-my
M-m-my my my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
22.
The day you move
I'm probably gonna explode
It's true
I'm probably gonna explo-o-o-o-ode
Who-o-o-o-oa
23. They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse in Your Soul babybrothalova and lunacow
I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
24. Joseph Arthur - Honey and the Moon kajam
Don't know why I'm still afraid
If you weren't real I would make you up
Now
25.
Pull the blindfold down
So your eyes can't see
Now run as fast as you can
Through this field of trees
26.
Well, it's been a long time, long time now
Since I've seen you smile
And I'll gamble away my fright
And I'll gamble away my time
27. Maxïmo Park - Our Velocity cylune9
I'm not a man
I'm a machine
Chisel me down until I am clean
I buy books
I never read
And then I'll tell you some more about
ME
28.
I sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets I can't keep
Inside of a day
29.
Decided
To sneak off away from your stomach
And try your pulse
You captured
What seemed all unknowing and candid
But they suspected it was false
30.
What gives this mess some grace [title], man
Unless it's fiction
Unless it's sweat or it's songs
