A Poetical Bandwagon

[rosamund]

Put your music player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first song is the title.

Love makes me treat you the way that I do

I could lap up all the champagne in Paris!

Why do you build me up,
Ask me how do I feel.

What good is sitting alone in your room?
I've danced with love.

How many special people change?

I once believed in fairytales.
In tonight's timeless show a trance runs deep:
Rows and floes of angel hair
When that I was and a tiny little boy.

If we could see tomorrow
You've got me, girl, on the run,
Hanging by threads of palest silver.

Once I was the King of Spain -
Pride can stand a thousand trials.

I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me.
Fill these spaces up with days
How could this happen?

When I am laid in earth
My gift is my song.
