darklunaI haven't done a music quiz in a while.
These are lines that I love, though I can't always explain why. The first thing I think of when I get on this topic isn't on the list, because it's purely instrumental: the piano coda at the end of "Layla." (The lack of said coda is a major point in my rant about why the unplugged version is an abomination, but I won't subject you, dear friends list, to that right now.) Guess the most songs, win... I dunno. The right to request a short piece of writing from me? I do icons, too. :D
1. The Sistine Chapel, painted with a Gatling gun
2. Cut steel wired into water, fixed link, circumnavigate
3. You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're all right
4. You know I've got nothing left for the journey home
5. And as you cross the Circle line, and the ice wall creaks behind, you're a rabbit on the run
6. There are no answers, only reasons to be strong
7. Britt hit hard, she found my box of Beth's best cards
8. You leave me no option to indulge in this exercise in cowardice, ignorance without the bliss
9. I took a cane from a blind man, I've tasted the fruit in the garden of Eden
10. We are such pretty little failures
11. Can't really call that a loss or a win
12. When you bring the house down, I hardly know which way is up or which way down
13. Some were born to sing the blues
14. The chances are we've gone too far, you took my time and you took my money
15. I should have fought him, but instead I let him take you
16. Count the headlights on the highway
17. For your sake, I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath
18. There's a tremor growing in our own backyard
19. To take a cup, to fill it up, to drink it slow, can't let you go
20. The cracks and the creases, they crumble to pieces
