Sing us a song
Well, finally, that song meme I promised:
On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down your favourite line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.
And straight away, I'll admit that I cheated and also took some from my general CD playlist too as well as MP3s. And if anyone enjoys this, I may well do another set. We've got over 1000 CDs to play with outside of MP3s and vinyls :) I love lyrics, that's why I write 'em.
OK, prepare yourself for an eclectic list that crosses different artists, different genres - and even different language at one point. I understand that some of these are probably painfully obvious....and others probably obscure.
1) And school's out early and soon we'll be learning,, and the lesson today is how to die
2) We were at the beach - Everybody had matching towels (You try getting sensical lyrics out of this one, lol)
3) You keep me running round and round, well that's alright with me. up and down, i'm up the wall, i'm up the bloody tree
4) If I were God thou shall not worship false Billy Idols
5) I see the girls go by dressed in their summer clothes, i have to turn my head until my darkness goes
6) I took you home and dressed you up in polyester - princess of my dreams
7) When it's good, it's wicked at the same time
8) See I've already waited too long, and all my hope is... gone
9) Crawling down the alley on your hands and your knees
10) I didn't lose my mind, it was mine to give away
11) In the silence of your room, in the darkness of your dreams, you must only think of me
12) You can go to the doctor, you can cough in his face. infect the whole human race.
13) gonna make you, make you, make you, make you notice
14) this is it boys, this is war
15) a vision of love wearing boxing gloves
16) and you may ask yourself, 'my god, what have i done?!"
17) no dark sarcasm in the classroom
18) sie ist der hellste stern von allen
19) he put razor blades in the ice cream, made nobody famous on the big screen
20) everybody needs somebody - you're not the only one!
