Lyrics
For those of you unfamiliar with the Lyrics Game, it's pretty simple. Below, you will find the lyrics from 20 songs. Your job is to name the song title and artist without looking them up, and without looking at the comments folks have already made.
(Editor's Note: These songs are from my mp3 collection, and were obtained by randomizing the whole collection in my iPod and taking the first 20 selections *that could be reasonably identified*)
1. How long, how long will I slide
Separate my side I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever
2. So turn the television off
and I will sing a song
And if you suddenly have the urge
You can sing along
3. Come one, come all
Into 1984
Yeah, three, two, one
Lights, camera, transaction
4. I'm never gonna stop,
I'm never gonna drop,
Ain't no different than it was before.
So take some good advice,
You better stop and think twice,
Before you take your first step,
Out that door..
5. Now here's a little story I've got to tell
About three bad brothers you know so well
It started way back in history…
6. Hey hey hey she's so pretty, hey hey hey. My friend, hey hey hey I feel stupid... again. She said "It's all right” she said “come over tonight” she said “my moms not home” she said “I'm all alone!" She took me back to her house, she pushed me down on the couch, she said "now its all right, were gonna be good friends cause that kissin' only leads to the end."
7. I say save us, I said save us
Yea I've got two words for you: fuck you
I said save us, I say save all us
I said oh my God, oh my God, oh my God
Why don't you call your God.
8. Back in school they never taught us what we needed to know,
like how to deal with despair, or someone breaking your heart.
For twelve years I've held it all together but a night like this is begging to pull me apart.
9. The plastic canopy of US royalty drew her gaze towards the sky
and away from her own mind.
And it took bites out of her insides till she was just a hollow shell.
And at home her mother cried cause daddy
had something on the side and they didn't look up when she sighed.
10. This one, he got a princely racket
(that's what i said, now)
Got some big seal upon his jacket
(ain't in his head, now)
Marry him, your father will condone you
(how bout that, now)
Marry me, your father will disown you
(he'll eat his hat, now)
11. So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
12.You almost made me cry again this time
another false alarm
red flashing lights
well this time I'm not going to watch myself die
I think I made it a game to play your game
and let myself cry
13. If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.
14.You think you've got it
Ohh, you think you've got it
But got it just don't get it
Till' there's nothing at
15. I can't believe the way you took me down
I never saw the pain
Coming in a million broken miles
Like poison for my veins
16. I purposely forgot about
Loving anyone
Cause I'm the only one who has
Who has been stepped upon
Is there something that you are trying to say
Cause I can take it
Cause I grew up a man this way
And if I'm hurt I'll shake it
17. For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took,
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?
18. Your mouth
These words
Silence
It turns
Humming
We laugh
My head
Falls back
19. I'd like to share a story, this is my story and cant no body tell it for me
You will well inform me, I am well aware that I don't belong here
You've made that perfectly clear, I get my ass kicked damn near everywhere
From Bel-Air shopping center just for stopping in there<
20. Now I want to drop some information
just a little additive to your education
I live my life by the code of the funk
600 watt amps, 18's in the trunk
feel free to try. it would be interesting to see if people actually get all the songs. just comment with answers.
