Song Lines Meme

I'm highly disappointed that so few people wanted to play in the sandbox of song lines. Sniff.

Well, for those of you who are sitting back, waiting for the answers,

1. You were sittin' on a swing on your front porch, paintin' your nails like you were bored, and you yelled, "She was sure impressed with you!"

Sawyer Brown - "Some Girls Do"

2. I'd break the spell / I'd make you well / I'd bleed the heavens dry for you

Solar Twins - "Alleluias"

3. This place is old / It feels just like a beat up truck / I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn

The Wallflowers - "One Headlight"

4. And all the dark and all the lies were all the empty things disguised as me

Goo-Goo Dolls - "Sympathy"

5. Maybe it sounds mean / But I really don't think so / You asked for the truth and I told you

Sinead O'Connor - "The Emperor's New Clothes"

6. Tie me to the bedpost

Eve 6 - "Inside Out"

7. I've been one poor correspondent / I've been too, too hard to find / But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

America - "Sister Golden Hair"

8. Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic / Then give me another word for it / You who are so good with words and at keeping things vague

Joan Baez - "Diamonds and Rust"

9. But if I seem to be confused, I didn't mean to be with you / And when you said I scared you, well I guess you scared me too

Concrete Blonde - "Joey"

10. I open my mouth and out pops something spiteful

General Public - "Tenderness"

11. And if you promised you'd love so completely / And you said you would always be true / You swore that you never would leave me, baby / What ever happened to you?

Led Zeppelin - "Fool In The Rain"

12. My machine -- it's a dud, out stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey

Bruce Springsteen - "Rosalita"

13. I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon / But to settle down and write you a line

Rod Stewart - "You Wear It Well"

14. If you don't expect too much from me / You might not be let down

Gin Blossoms - "Hey Jealousy"

15. See, it was just too soon to tell and looking for some parallel can be an endless game

Michael Penn - "No Myth"

16. Lookin' for the right track / Always on the wrong track / But are you catchin' all these tracks / That I'm layin' down for you

Pink - "Missundazstood"

17. Take another chance boy carry the fight you can take him if you're fast / Didn't I say if you're holding on you'd be laughing at the last / I get along fine with them friends of mine but you have to make the choice / You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time and it's us who makes the noise

Duran Duran - "New Religion"

18. Seven days a week with you is more than I can handle

Tommy Conwell & The Young Rumblers - "I'm Not Your Man"

19. I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage / I've found that just surviving is a noble fight

Billy Joel - "Angry Young Man"

20. She checks out Mozart while she does Tae-Bo / Reminds me that there's time to grow

Train - "Drops of Jupiter"

TWO of those I knew the song but didn't get the lyrics. Curses!

I'm gonna post in my journal a link to this DAMNED good lyrics quiz I found, there's like 250 items and I was only able to get 120 or so. Keep your eyes out for it.

Which two? Just for curiosity's sake.

Ooh! Sounds cool! I can't wait to see it!

Um...'Tenderness' and 'Fool in the Rain.' Not that I ever knew most of what they were saying in 'Tenderness.'

I have the lyrics at home somewhere, copied out of a magazine in tenth grade.

Although I guess you could probably get them online more easily.
