Randomosity

[darkluna]

In honor of finally getting most of my music loaded onto my MP3 player, again, and because needfulthings just did it, and we all wish we were as cool as he is ;-), my list of lines from randomized songs:


Edited after needfulthings and zinnea kicked some butt... now the tough ones are left. Also, I guess no one is surprised I have Corey Hart's greatest hits. Also also, I am shocked that #20 has gone unidentified.

1. You sit there looking so cool, like the whole show was passing you by "Tell the Truth" by Derek & the Dominos.
2. Just a little uncertainty can bring you down "Never Surrender" by the immortal Corey Hart.
3. I want to tell you that I love you, but does it really matter? "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns" by Mother Love Bone.
4. Cut steel wired into water, fixed link circumnavigate "Feel It Turn" by Great Big Sea
(There is something intensely satisfying about singing "circumnavigate," much like the joy I, oddly, derive from belting out "exhaling" in "Dying promises they lie/Exhaling for the last time.")
5. The men who spurred us on sit in judgment of our wrong "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who
6. So I got you to at least say please; that's how I know you're on your knees "Fast Way" by Letters to Cleo
7. When a heart is broken, it still goes on pumping
8. It's just I'm feeling invincible, and it has me terrified "Conquer Me" by Blues Traveler
9. You will drink by numbers, I will drink by faith
10. A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw, delivered him wings "Given to Fly" by Pearl Jam
11. It's a long way up there to heaven, but it's OK 'cause we're singing with the angels
12. I wanted you, but I'm over that now
13. You take my air to breathe, and I let you back again, tell me what does that make me? "Demon Rock" by L to C
14. I wish I could buy back the woman you stole "Y Control" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
15. When I sleep is when you rise
16. Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry "Paranoid" by Sabbath. My actual favorite part of this song is the crunchy guitar, but there's no way to indicate that textually.
17. I dream I see white horses dance upon that other ocean
18. I'm feeling like a loaded gun "Down on the World Again" by Social D
19. I can't believe that the axis turns on suffering when you taste so good "This is Love" by PJ Harvey
20. What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt?
21. I should have fought him, but instead I let him take you "Fight Test" by Flaming Lips. One of the songs I listened to incessantly for about a week. Not sure why; it just stuck to me for some reason.
22. I changed by not changing at all It's funny how you guys start with "Elderly woman..." but I always abbreviate this one as "Small Town."
23. Window down, feel the moonlight on your skin "The Golden Age" - Beck song, Flaming Lips version
24. Dream...think it is, and it's already done
25. I've been a bad, bad girl "Criminal" by Fiona Apple

On that note... :-) Have at it!


Represented on this list, among others: two bands I almost always put on my list if I have to pick my three all-time favorites, a band I'm pretty sure no one but me has heard of, two songs I had on autorepeat for days on end at different times, a song I am newly in love with, and a song from an album some of you may be surprised I own. Also: 14 versions of Ledbetter on this thing, and it doesn't pop up once? Weird.
