Yet Another Weapon In The Procrastination Arsenal

Because all the cool kids are doing it...

Step 1: Put your Media player on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) of the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: No cheating!



1. When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son?

2. Caught by the fuzz
While I was still on the buzz

3. I saw you standing in the corner
On the edge of a burning light

4. Tonight, I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive


5. Listen to the girl as she takes on half the world
Moving up and so alive
In her honey-dripping bee-hive

6. Well you wonder why I always dress in black
Why you never see bright colours on my back

7. Percussion... Strings... Winds... Words
There you see her
Sitting there across the way


8. Wouldn't it be nice if we were older?
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long


9. I like the peace
In the backseat
I don't have to try
I don't have to speak

10. Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

11. The waves keep on crashing on me for some reason
But your love keeps them coming like a thunderbolt


12. Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play?


13. Start spreadin' the news
I'm leaving today


14. The green plastic watering can
For a fake Chinese rubber plant
In fake plastic earth

15. From way far across the sea came an Eritrean maiden
She had a one-track mind and eyes for me
Half-blinded in a war

16. I found your photograph in a cardboard box, in a magazine
I can't remember you, remember us, or anything

17. Riding through the city on my bike all day 'cause the filth took away my license
It doesn't get me down and I feel okay 'cause the sights that I'm seeing are priceless

18. Goodbye love...
Didn't know what time it was the lights were low, oh ho
I leaned back on my radio, oh oh
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll, lotta soul, he said

19. Irish blood, English heart, this I'm made of
There is no one on Earth I'm afraid of

20. Songs, when they're truth, are all dedicated to you
In this invisible world I choose to live in

21. Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, babe
I'm not the one you need

22. Oh, we were born within an hour of each other
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother
Your name is Deborah
It never suited ya


23. I love you through sparks and shining dragons, I do
Now there's poetry in an empty Coke can
I love you through sparks and shining dragons, I do
Now there's majesty in a burnt-out caravan

24. I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me
And so the feeling grows


25. Dear catastrophe waitress
Dear catastrophe waitress
I'm sorry if you seem to have the weight of the world over you



Well, that killed at least half an hour.

Basically, I have no idea, because I suck. But I'm stealing this meme.

Steal away. Although, you call youself a Disney fan, and you couldn't get #7? Pfft.

Agh! I knew that I knew that one! It's "Kiss the Girl!"

*grudgingly accepts your pitifully late answer*

How do you cross stuff out on these things?

Cheers me dear!

[identity profile] rose-greenthumb.livejournal.com 2007-01-31 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Aw no! Kiss the Girl was about the only one I knew!

I tell a lie, I know number 24 is Love is All Around. Wooooo!

Wow, you dazzle me with your knowledge. At least 2 of them have the song title in the first line! And I thought you said you liked Belle & Sebastian!

[identity profile] buffologist.livejournal.com 2007-02-01 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Ok, I can get 6 1/2 of them as I have absolutlely nothing better to do!!!

4. Queen - Don't stop me now
8. Beach Boys - Wouldn't it be nice
11. No Doubt - Hella Good
12. Oasis but I can't remember the title
13. I'm guessing Sinatra - New York New York
22. Pulp - Disco 2000
25. Belle & Sebastian - Dear catastrophe waitress

Most impressive! I shall even give you the Oasis track (Don't Look Back In Anger) for doing better than the others! *sends waves of pride in your direction*

Ooh, and watch Heroes. That is all.
