Song Meme
If you know (or think you know), without benefit of Google/the Internet, any of these lyrics and which songs they come from, comment with the name of the song and the artist... and feel free to try the meme yourself...
Instructions
Step 1: I get my playlist together, put it on random, and play
Step 2: Pick my favorite lines from the first 15 songs that play
Step 3: Post and let everyone I know guess from what song the lines originate
Step 4: I cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly (without the aid of a search engine or any stored electronic communication)
1. "And nobody seems to like him, / They can tell what he wants to do. / And he never shows his feelings" - Fool on the Hill, the Beatles (nomeda_g)
2. (i'll replace this one later; it's really absurdly too hard)
3. "Leavin' this morning, I had to go ride the blinds. / I've been mistreated, don't mind dying."
4. "I shame the devil 'cause I throw it down so hard / I rock the big line, I rock the back yard / Be a dream in color even on a winter's night / Get your joy joy no matter who says it's right"
5. "In the presence of my struggle / But the beauty of this vision alone / I can't shake from my tree just yet"
6. "and move on because the minute hand moves faster than you think it does / and by no fault of yours, and by no fault of mine / the bottom line is laying in the bed that we've been playing in tonight" - Love Soon, John Mayer (stickywiko)
7. "Shining like crystal tiaras / Ghettos and grey Rivieras / This is the real me ladies / You won't find no shelter here"
8. "Voice too loud to hear / Laugh to hard to feel / When I fall asleep / I'm a puppet cutting strings / When your eyes / Open large and wide / In a different light / Eyes open for the sun / In a different time" - Red Man, Kenna (timeslayer)
9. "And I was green, greener than the hill / Where the flowers grew and the sun shone still / Now I'm darker than the deepest sea / Just hand me down..."
10. "wake up at six in the morning / with a smile on my face and running from my life / just to find you are so out of place / reason after reason why i never could trust you / staying in the moment is what brought you straight to me"
11. "You burn and burn to get under my skin / You've gone too far now I won't give in / You crucified me but I'm back in your bed"
12. "I know / What sleeps inside my heart / There's a path that starts / With a single step at dawn / Though the road goes on and on"
13. "I know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand. / But I keep living this day like / The next will never come." - Criminal, Fiona Apple (stickywiko)
14. "once we got lost in the woods with your hand interlaced between mine / and i stared straight at the sun and imagined the beams realigned"
15. "Let me tell ya something else / There was this girl who passed me by / She gave a smile but I was shy / I looked down, so down" - Underground, Ben Folds Five (stickywiko)
