Guess The Songs!
I'm bored and all I have to do is listen to music, so here you go.
Step 1: Put your iTunes or equivalent on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing
Step 3: Bold/Strike out the songs when someone guesses the title and artist correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
1. You've got to be crazy, you've gotta have a real need. Gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street, you got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed. Dogs - Pink Floyd
2. It's a particular taste in the mouth, difficult to describe. I checked the secretaries on the subway, blank pages with paperpunch eyes.
3. Well, you win, it's your show, now so what's it gonna be. 'Cause people will tune in, how many trainwrecks do we need to see?
4. I can't afford to breathe in this time. Nowhere to sit without a gun in my hand, hooked back up to the cathode ray, I'm better off dead. Prove Yourself - Radiohead
5. The chosen one glows like the sun, pure of heart, wide in eye. Sweet she sings, sings her hymns, golden girl dances by.
6. The lady, poor lady, she lost all her things. For inside of her house now the lady just stays. Anyone? Anyone?
7. People like you, you live in a dream world. You despise the outside and you fear you're the next one. It's in your dream, there's just one question: Should I kill, or should I be left behind?
8. Even though I know it's only chemical, these peaks and valleys are beginning to take their toll. Try to convince myself that all it takes is time but the most derisive voice I hear is mine.
9. I've waited hours for this, I've made myself so sick, I wish I'd stayed asleep today. Close To Me - The Cure
10. Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street; from my window I'm staring while my coffee grows cold.
11. We used to run through city run houses. We used to drink from half full glasses.
12. Under your spell again. I can't say no to you. Crave my heart and it's bleeding in your hand. I can't say no to you.
13. I'm under your spell, God how can this be? Playing with my memory? Under Your Spell Reprise - Cast - Once More With Feeling (typsie)
14. I found my locker and I found my classes, lost my lunch and I broke my glasses.
That guy is huge! That girl is wailing! First day of school and I'm already failing.
15. All eyes look up to me, high above the filthy streets.
Heed no bullhorn when it calls.
Watch me fly and die, watch me fall.
16. Cell block five, how I hate Bromide with your coffee in the morning. Makes you so sterile.
The corner gang never made a man of me, boy.
17. I'm gonna write a little letter, gonna mail it to my local dj. It's a rockin' rhythm record I want my jockey to play.
18. Wake up in the morning, clock says half past one, I have no sunglasses as I step into the sun. There's no recollection of the evil things I've done.
19. Girl of sixteen, whole life ahead of her. Slashed her wrists, bored with life, didn't succeed, thank the lord for small mercies. Blasphemous Rumours - Depeche Mode
20. It took so long to remember just what happened. I was so young and vestal then, you know it hurt me, but I'm breathing so I guess I'm still alive even if signs seem to tell me otherwise. Prison Sex - Tool (veiravx
21. He said I'm going to buy this place and burn it down; I'm going to put it six feet underground. He said I'm going to buy this place and watch it fall, stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls.
22. What ravages of spirit conjured this temptuous rage?
Created you a monster broken by the rules of love. Do What You Have To Do - Sarah McLachlan (typsie)
23. Success. I'm on my way, I'm making it, I've got to make it show, yeah. So much larger than life, I'm going to watch it growing. Big Time - Peter Gabriel
24. Now the party´s over, I´m so tired. Then I see you coming out of nowhere. Much communication in a motion without conversation or a notion.
25. You must understand that the touch of your hand makes my pulse react. That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl, opposites attract. What's Love Got To Do With It? - Tina Turner
26. This old man I've talked about broke his own heart, poured it in the ground.
Big red tree grew up and out,
Throw up its leaves,
Spins round and round. Feed The Tree - Belly
27. There's a sense of longing in me as I read Rosemary's letter. Her writing's honest; can't forget the years she's lost.
28. So messed up, I want you here, in my room I want you here. Now we're gonna be face-to-face and I'll lay right down in my favorite place.
29. I had a little look for a minute today and I told her there was something that I wanted to say. Just sitting there glowing, with her red light on, so I gotta move fast and it shouldn't take long.
30. At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops with him on top; lemon yellow sun. Arms raised in a "V", and the dead lay in pools of maroon below.
This was more complicated than I thought it would be, because I had to skip past a lot of songs with no lyrics (lo-fi/techno or movie scores), songs that weren't in English (like Computer Star by And One or Incarnations of Evil by Carnage) and ones that had the title in the first few lines (like T'aint No Sin by Tom Waits or Smokestack Lightning by Howlin' Wolf).
In other news I feel incredibly heartbroken today. Like... that literal sense of warmth and pressure like your heart is being squeezed and cracked in the palm of someone's hand. I could do without this feeling, honest. :{
