this is an awesome meme.

[shaws_ghoti]

Gacked from dsudis and iuliamentis, the "Be Pete Wentz" Poetry Meme works thusly[sic]:

1. Put your music player of choice on shuffle.
2. The first lines of twenty songs = a poem; the first line of the twenty-first song is the title.

For bonus points, see how many sources you recognize!


"beautiful girl, lovely dress"

agnus dei,
the mind has so many pictures,
the yellow walls are lined with portraits,
save some face; you know you've only got one,

don't mind me, just cruising by,
in this dirty old part of the city
i don't do black music, i don't do white music,
the scarlet letter isn't black,

breaking my back just to know your name,
just let me lay back and kick some more simplistic pimp shit,
i wanna be the one that you crave,
swing, swing baby, try to keep your chin up,

oh billy brown had lived an ordinary life,
cause i'm a criminal,
i don't look back in anger,
cut to the pub on the lad's night out,

i'm going to a town that has already been burned down,
for to see my depth of sorrow,
this is the day, the day of the death, the death of the matinee idol
a mon avis, il fait quérir aussi loin
