Song Lyrics meme
A real London entry to come soon.
1. Put your current playlist on shuffle, and pick the first 25 songs that come up (no matter how embarrassing they may be).
2. Write down the first line(s) of the song without including the title in the lyrics.
3. Have some friends comment and see if they know the songs. (NO CHEATING! i.e. No looking up on Google, etc.)
1. "Ah, look at all the lonely people"
One of the few songs I know completely by heart.
2. "It's coming through a hole in the air, from those nights in Tiananmen Square."
3. "You think you lost your love, Well, I saw her yesterday."
4. "Is it wrong to want to live on your own ? No, it's not wrong - but I must know"
5. "Just because I'm losing, Doesn't mean I'm lost"
6. "Send someone to love me, I need to rest in arms, Keep me safe from harm, In pouring rain"
7. "You are what God made you, Everyone can see, You don't have to change for no-one, Especially not me"
(this is the seond stanza)
8. "Me with the floorshow, Kickin' with your torso, Boys getting high, And the girls even more so"
9. "Hold me close and tell me how you feel, Tell me love is real"
10."There's nothing you can do that can't be done." (actually second verse)
11. "With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger. At a Baltimore hotel society gath'rin'."
12. "Good times for a change, See, the luck I've had, Can make a good man, Turn bad"
So sad, but I've been here.
13. "Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter, Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here "
14. "You only see what your eyes want to see, How can life be what you want it to be "
15. "You must think I'm a fool, So prosaic and awkward and all, D'you think you've got me down?"
16. "Comme ça, La vie c'est épatant"
17. "Let your heart be light, From now on, our troubles will be out of sight"
18. "I want something, That's purer than the water, Like we were"
19. "Mistletoe hung where you can see,, Every couple tries to stop"
20. "Where did you go, I thought I knew you, what did I know, You don't look different, but you have changed"
21. "You say life is a dream where we can't say what we mean, Maybe just some roadside scene that we're driving past"
One of my favourites.
22. "Riot on the streets, the touch beneath the sheets"
23. "My mama done tol' me, When I was in pigtails, My mama done tol' me, A man's gonna sweet-talk and give you the big eyes"
24. "May twelve angels guard you, While you sleep, Maybe that's a waste of angels I don't know"
25. "Spanish songs in Andalucia, The shooting sites in the days of '39"
Notes:
11 and 20 are covers.
