finally i got around to finishing this meme
Shuffle, post first line of the first 25, cross off when someone guesses song and band.
Skipping the ones with no lyrics! ...and the ones that were on it last time. ...and I'm making it a rule that you can only list the first foreign-language song per language. Because like six have come up in Gaelic. ...also, if it's really hard, I post more than the first strict line.
1. Bells around St. Petersburg when I saw you---I hope I get what you deserve and this is where I find; smoke's around your perfect face and I'm falling, pushing a broom out into space and this is where I found the way
2. I felt you in my legs before I ever met you and when I laid beside you for the first time, I told you I feel you in my heart, and I don't even know you
3. Love me cancerously like a salt sore soaked in the sea... high maintenance means you're a gluttonous queen, narcissistic and mean
4. "Oh, where've you been, young Peggy? And Peggy, where've you been?" "In the garden, among the gillyflowers."
5. Wake up in the morning with a head like, "What've you done?" This used to be the life, but I don't need another one---you like cutting up and carrying on, you wear them gowns; so how come I feel so lonely when you're up getting down?
6. Shout when you wanna get off the ride, 'cause you crossed my mind, you crossed my mind... made my blood thump Saturday night, make my heart beat double time---now I'm only sour cherry on the fruit stand, right? Am I the only sour cherry on the fruit stand?
7. No, sir, I don't want to be the blame, not anymore---it's your turn to take a seat; we're settling the final score. And why do we like to hurt so much? I can't decide.
8. How come I end up where I started? How come I end up where I went wrong? I won't take my eyes off the ball again; you reel me out, then you cut the string.
9. Wind me up, put me down, start me off and watch me go! I'll be running circles around you sooner than you know.
10. Young teacher, the subject of schoolgirl fantasy... she wants him so badly, knows what she wants to be
11. Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it; I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted... I fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get back
12. The way you love: have you got a name for it? 'Cause I don't understand it; the language is an annoying necessity and I depend on all the regular things. I've got a list tattooed on my memory of how our tryst should unfold
13. When sky blue gets dark enough to see the colors of the city lights, a trail of ruby red and diamond white hits her like a sunrise
14. He saw the operation you tried to pull today, and your humiliation means he still votes nay, and now assassination is just the only way...
15. I'm a killer, cold and wrathful, silent sleeper: I've been inside your bedroom. I've murdered half the town and left you love notes on their headstones... I'll fill the graveyards until I have you.
16. If you want to know how to fly high, then go now to the place where all the concubines meet and converse with them, marvel at their pale skin, wonder how they chew on their pointy teeth
17. You were the mother of three girls so sweet who stormed through your turnstile and climbed to the street. But after conception your body lay cold and withered through autumn and you found yourself old.
18. Do you remember when we first met? The way you looked, I can't forget... I smiled at you, you smiled back---it felt just like a heart attack
19. Our love is sweeter than strings; our love is thicker than angel wings. But still sometimes I can't believe you're real---it's just that I've got diamonds in my eyes for you
20. People won't be people when they hear this sound that's been glowing in the dark at the edge of town; people won't be people, no, the people won't be people when they hear this sound
21. Everybody be filled with jealousy when they see you out with me; I don't blame them, goodness knows, honeysuckle-rose...
22. Late last night, I was asked to a wedding---the wedding of one who proved unkind. For all that day as she thought of her bridegroom, thoughts of another one strayed through her mind.
23. Sometimes I think this cycle never ends: we slide from top to bottom and we turn and climb again, and it seems by the time that I have figured what it's worth, the squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse.
24. I'm the motherflippin' rhyme-noceros. My beats are fat and the birds are on my back and I'm horny (I'm horneeehhh!)
25. There are some people in the world who say that writing stories or composing music or dancing sparkly dances is easy for them. Nothing interferes with their ability to create. While I celebrate their creative freedom, a little part of me just wants to punch those motherfuckers in the teeth.
And I decided to do another one, inspired in part by boundandchained's last one, and also by one I did a long, long time ago---basically, it's my favorite song lines ever. Some of them are really easy... and some of them are just sheer awesomeness.
26. I was a starling: nobody's darling
27. Ancient language, speak through fingers: the awful edges where you end and I begin
28. Hike up your skirt a little more and show the world to me
29. "He tastes like you only sweeter"
30. You can't dance and stay uptight!
31. It looks like rain tonight, and thank god, 'cause a clear sky just wouldn’t feel right
32. Our skin is like grass; let's smoke it real fast
33. I'm in love with illusions, so saw me in half; I'm in love with tricks, so pull another rabbit out of your hat
34. Don't like his baggy jeans but I might like what's underneath them...
35. We could be daytime drunks if we wanted---we'd never get anything done that way, baby
36. She's got a body like an hourglass and it's ticking like a clock
37. Snow White is doing dishes again, 'cause what else could you do with seven itty-bitty men?
38. Unzip my body and take my heart out because I need a beat to give this tune
39. Bounce like your ass has the hiccups
40. Do you think I'm sexy? Do you think I really care?
41. I know my mind is made up, so put away your makeup
42. He was deep like a graveyard... wide like TV
43. You're crazy but I like the way you fuck me!
44. Upon my pillow, safe in bed, a thousand pictures fill my head; I cannot sleep, my mind's aflight---and yet, my limbs seem made of lead.
45. Where do you go with your broken heart in tow, and what do you do with the leftover you?
46. You snooze, you lose? Well, I have snost and lost.
47. Summer came like cinnamon, so sweet
48. Steven A. Douglas was a great debater, but Abraham Lincoln was the great emancipator
49. And remember when I moved in you? And the holy dove was moving too, and every breath we drew was hallelujah
50. This is his dry-cleaning bill: FOUR sweater vests!
Yes, 32 and 42 are from the same song (I REALLY LOVE THAT SONG). Oh... so are 15 and 27.
Enjoy guessing :)
