Courtesy of my brother:
1) make a playlist of all your music, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty-five songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing).
2) write down one line of the song. try to avoid putting the song title in the line.
3) have your friends comment and see if they know the songs. (NO CHEATING!)
4) when someone guesses correctly, strike out the line and list the correct name of the song next to it.
This won't be fully accurate as to "all of my music" because I'm on my dad's laptop, but oh well. I've got a sizeable playlist on here, anyways.
1)You were bred for humanity and sold to society,
one day you'll wake up in the present day,
a million generations removed from expectations.
2)Help me but don't tell me to deny it,
I've got to cleanse myself of all these lies
until I'm good enough for him.
I've got a lot to lose and I'm betting high, so I'm
begging you.
Fiona Apple-Criminal
3)Heaven holds a sense of wonder,
and I wanted to believe that I'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides.
Passion chokes the flower until she cries no more,
possessing all the beauty,
hungry still for more.
4)Please take hold of my hand, that
I might understand you.
5)I see you under the midnight,
all shackles and bows.
High shoes with the cleats a-clicking
a tempermental glow.
6)The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
city lights lay out before us
and your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
7)Ocean pulls me close
and whispers in my ear
the destiny I've chose
all becoming clear.
Nine Inch Nails-The Great Below
8)So elegantly bound,
and I know I could not say why.
On this summer evening,
I know something...something about you.
9)We don't know where we're going,
but we don't know where we've been,
and we know what we're knowin'
but we can't say what we've seen.
10)And she was lying in the grass,
and she could hear the highway breathing.
And she could see a nearby factory,
she's making sure she is not dreaming.
Talking Heads-And She Was
11)There's no one place I want to be,
attachment only hurts you.
Better take care of yourself baby,
c'mon, won't you try to see?
12)You're always dancing down the street
with your suede-blue eyes,
and every new boy that you meet
doesn't know the real surprise.
13)I lie, I wait, I start, I hesitate.
I am, I breath, I melt, I think of me.
Is it any wonder I can't sleep?
All I have is all you gave to me.
14)What have I become?
My sweetest friend.
Everyone I know goes away
in the end. And you could have it all.
My empire of dirt.
I will let you down.
Nine Inch Nails-Hurt
15)Oh they tell me there's still time to save my soul.
They tell me, renounce all, renounce all those
material things you gained by
exploiting ohter human beings.
16)The view from the cliffs
must have been exciting, and up to the peaks
you were bound. Now you're stranded alone,
and the past is unknown.
17)For here am I sitting in a tin can,
far above the world.
Planet Earth is blue, and there's
nothing I can do.
David Bowie-Space Oddity
18)I'll move myself and my family aside
if we happen to be left half alive.
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky,
for I know that the hypnotized never lie.
19)When you walk among the trees,
listening to the leaves,
the further I go, the less I know.
20)The waves do lather up
and lay her down 'til she's sleeping,
oh well.
I guess I'm something of a ne'er-do-well,
who fell asleep at the pealing of the steeple bell.
The Decemberists-Oceanside
21)If I ventured in the slipstream
between the viaducts of your dreams,
where immobile steel rims crack,
and the ditch in the back roads stop.
Could you find me? Would you kiss-a my eyes?
Lay me down in silence easy.
To be born again.
Van Morrison-Astral Weeks
22)I'm oh so tired of you pushing that thorny crown
down onto my head so hard, my knees are two inches
to the ground. And I said, god damn. God damn.
23)Maiden winters
tickling whispers,
sit still or you can't just listen.
24)Lend me your ear while I call you a fool.,
You were kissed by a witch one night in the wood,
and later insisted your feelings were true.
25)I send my echo out
to get your love without
obscured reflections of
my love.
