January 09 - Opening Tracks
Since this is a new year, I’m going to take the opportunity to make the prompts monthly. I was struggling to make the posts on time with work and RL, so I’ll just post the two “discs” at the beginning of each month. You can use as many as the prompts as you like, and as usual any past prompts will always be available.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
January Theme: Opening Tracks
Disc One:
01. My hope is on the horizon.
Every face, it's your eyes I can see.
I plead, I pray through each night and day,
Our embrace is only a dream.
[‘This Lullaby’ - Queens of the Stone Age]
02. Don't be shy, baby, don't be careful with me
Let it go, let it 'solve me down
[‘White Chocolate Space Egg’ - Liz Phair]
03. You drivin' fast in my mind
Girl don't cha' slow it down
If we carry on this way the same we might leave the ground
How would you like to fly
That's how my queen should ride
But you still deserve the crown
Why hasn't it been found
[‘Señorita’ - Justin Timberlake]
04. I don’t know why sometimes I get frightened,
You can see my eyes, can tell that I'm not lying
[‘I Got You’ - Split Enz]
05. Don't give me that bullshit,
you know who I am
[‘One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces’ - Ben Folds Five]
06. I want to defy
The logic of all sex laws
Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists
[‘Sexx Laws’ - Beck]
07. When we are close, my heart says surrender
I'm almost in love tonight
[‘Almost in Love’ - Elvis Presley]
08. I've got a brand new attitude,
And I'm gonna wear it tonight
I'm gonna get in trouble
I wanna start a fight
[‘So What’ - Pink]
09. People call us renegade
Feel like we're living crazy
We like taking on the town
Some people getting lazy
[‘Knocked Up’ - Kings of Leon]
10. Every time I thought I’d got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
[‘Changes’ - David Bowie]
Disc Two:
11. You need a new song
I'll set the words up so they tear right at your soul
Don't take me too long
But there's a danger that I'll plagiarize something old
[‘New Song’ - The Who]
12. I need an easy friend
I do, With an ear to lend
I do, Think you fit this shoe
I do, But you have a clue
[‘About A Girl’ - Nirvana]
13. I will dedicate
And sacrifice my everything for just a second's worth
Of how my story's ending
And I wish I could know if the directions that I take
And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing
[‘Crawling in the Dark’ - Hoobastank]
14. Things are getting weird, things are getting tough,
Nothings making sense but you keep on looking up
They tell you to be true, your trying everyday
To keep it on the real still you got to find a way
To make your mamma happy, to make your pappa proud
You'll wanna turn it up and all you hear is turn it down
[‘Hang On’ - Smash Mouth]
15. See the rising sun
But feel the warning one
We've come a circle
To the way we once begun
No one's really sure
How to make it up
Or give the name to the way
We've been acting lately
[‘All Around’ - INXS]
16. Gosh Darn Police Line You Better Not Cross!
Is it the cop, or am I the one thats really dangerous?
[‘Warning’ - Green Day]
17. I remember
the good old days,
Stayed up all night
gettin' crazed.
Then the money
was not so good,
But we still did
the best we could.
[‘Walk On’ - Neil Young]
18. Though the night was made for loving,
And the day returns too soon,
Yet we'll go no more a-roving
By the light of the moon.
[‘No More A-roving’ - Leonard Cohen]
19. I know this and that about love
I know that there's your body
And mine in tow
We are swimming to the surface
Up from below
[‘Warm Jets’ - Holly Throsby]
20. Well it sounds so sweet
I had to take me chance
Rose out of my seat
I just had to dance
Started moving my feet
Whoa to clapping my hands
[‘Around and Around’ - Rolling Stones]
