lyrics meme stolen from Chica
1. Open up your music player. Hit shuffle.
2. Record the first few lines of the first ten* songs that come up that do not give away the name of the song. Skip instrumentals, but don't skip the embarrassing ones.
3. Ask hapless LJ denizens to guess the song names and artists. Google is cheating. For musical songs, the name of the musical is acceptable in place of the artist.
4. Least hapless LJ denizen wins admiration.
* - the original meme calls for 30. Chica did 20. i'm too tired to do more than ten. take your pick of number if you do this meme.
1 - Cold as the northern wind,
in December mornings.
Cold is the cry that rings
from this far distant shore.
2 - A place which I have searched a thousand times,
To finally free myself.
Forever wasn't ever long enough,
I will refrain.
3 - I need another story,
something to get off my chest.
My life gets kinda boring,
need something that I can confess.
4 - Sheets of empty canvas,
untouched sheets of clay.
5 - Something fearless in your eyes,
something careless about your smile,
something fragile when you hold your breath,
and when you move--you move right through me.
6 - I've always tried to break
through your walls of fire.
An angel in love
can always fly much higher.
7 - In the cold breeze that I walk along,
the memories of generations burn within me.
8 - Broken hearts, broken homes,
there's a war deep in motion,
fighting hard to find
some kind of peace of mind.
9 - I know you think that
I shouldn't still love you
or tell you that.
("White Flag" by Dido - guessed by clionona)
10 - She dashed by me in painted on jeans
and all heads turned, 'cause she was the dream.
("Caribbean Queen" by Billy Ocean - guessed by clionona)
